First and foremost, I'd like to thank you for taking a moment to check out my blog. This is a new adventure for me, and I'm excited to get started! Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am a stay at home mom, married to my love whom I met (almost!) 11 years ago. We were married in October of 2014. We have a little boy who blessed our lives in March of 2016. My husband and I are also proud parents to a sweet black lab who we rescued in May of 2014. He's quite spoiled and loved by all of us so very much! 

                        I’ve always found writing to be good therapy. I wrote a lot when I was younger, in journals, notes to friends, or even school essays (although not always A’s!) they were all great ways for me to express myself. Life gets crazy, you change, the world changes and you find yourself no longer doing things that you enjoy. But that’s ok! New things consume your world, and you find joy in other activities and hobbies. We humans are forever evolving! 

 The purpose of this blog is simply for me to get back to a hobby that I previously enjoyed and mix it in with my ‘new’ life. My life that no longer consists of school books, tests and the latest friend to friend news. My life that consists now of being a mom to my favorite little and spoiled pup, and a wife to a great man! I love to share my experiences with people, and I hope to create a fun, realistic and sometimes comical outlet for others to enjoy!

Calling all Mom's of Picky Eaters!

-

I'm convinced that my son is one of the pickiest eaters in the world. Ok, maybe that's a little dramatic, but he is for sure VERY picky. When he was a baby, he ate everything. Veggies, fruits, meats, pasta..his diet was better than mine was! Then once he turned a year old, that's the moment everything changed for him. He started cutting out veggies, then meats. Now he's at the point where we have just a couple of staples and he basically eats the same thing every day with very little variation. I try hiding foods, I offer him everything I make for dinner, I demonstrate that what I make is delicious, I've included him in preparing meals, I've made fun shapes out of his foods, all of that and he STILL won't open up to trying anything new. He's what I like to call a Peanut-butter-and-Jelly-Fruit-itarian. Of course he’s the typical toddler who loves all things crunchy too. We have lots of veggie made snacks (veggie chips, straws etc.) and your typical fishy ...

Sometimes Mom's Struggle, and That's OK.

I think most mom's could agree with me, that once baby comes (even before that for some!) your life takes a major turn. No matter how prepared you are for baby's arrival, there's no preparation for most of it. Having a newborn, especially for the first time, can be nerve racking. I remember that I was terrified to bring my son home. I slept with him on my chest for the first few nights, because he struggled keeping his body temp normal and that scared me to death! Then once I felt comfortable enough for him to sleep in the co-sleeper ( RIGHT next to me), I slept with my hand on his chest to make sure he was breathing all night long-that went on for a very long time. I would basically sleep with on eye open and laid facing him for months!  Other than those typical new mom worries, I found myself struggling most with me. Let me explain.... You have your own identity before you become pregnant. You are you. The moment you see those double lines on that pregnancy test, and ...

Guilt

-
I've found that feeling guilty has been a very common theme throughout this early stage of motherhood. I have this daily struggle with myself about whether or not I spent enough time with my son. Did I show him attention when he needed it most? Did he feel like I was ignoring him at all today? But the big one for me that always seems to kick me down is: did I spend enough quality time with him?  I'm a stay at home mom, so all my days (and nights) are spent with my son. It's very rare that I am not with him. You would think that being a stay at home mom would allow me to spend every waking hour planning and doing fun activities with my little one, every single day of the week, but unfortunately that's just not reality. I still have laundry to get done, meals to cook, cleaning to do, errands to run...the list is endless. Don't get me wrong, I am not doing all of these things on a daily basis. I still find time during the day to let my son dictate what's happe...
