Big Sister In Training: Room Update

admin — Tue, 14 Apr 2020 04:42:30 +0000

It’s official, we have a big sister in training. I knew this day would come, the big girl room transition, I just didn’t think it would all happen so fast. Especially looking back at her nursery reveal post, it feels like just yesterday. Less than two months ago, my little doll baby was sleeping in a crib and wearing diapers like a baby. Today she’s in her very own big girl bed, with big girl sheets and pillows and wearing big girl underwear. She’s even too big for naps now (which was not my choice …). I’ll admit I was a bit apprehensive to begin the transition but with baby boy on the way, it gave me a little push to start nesting all around and settle in to the new norm. To my surprise, she took to it all so well! In fact, she was so excited to go to bed that night to sleep in her big girl bed, it may have been a record breaking “night time routine”. I’ve heard horror stories from friends who have had to sleep by (or in!) their bed until they fall asleep or the hours on end it would take for […]

Motherhood: What Being A Mother Is All About

What is motherhood? I came across a quote I really enjoyed. That “being a mother is not about what you gave up to have a child, but what you gained from having one“. It’s crazy how having a baby will flip your world upside down yet in an instant that baby will too become your entire world in the best way possible. My husband and I used to be quite the wannabe “foodies”. We would try new restaurants each weekend and indulge in all the chef’s specials and delicious wine list. Today, in this day in age, it’s the last thing I want to do. After a long work week consisting of us coming home in the evening while frantically cooking/ eating dinner as a family with very little play time left over, the weekend is what we look forward to the most. All I want is to do is find fun activities and things to do to make my baby girl happy! But of course a date night, with good food once every few months is necessary for our sanity. Like I said, being home with baby A brings me all the joy in the world. When we moved in to our new home, I wanted to make […]

Play Time!

admin — Tue, 01 Aug 2017 11:00:49 +0000

It’s play time! My baby girl is officially 3 months old! Crazy to believe as the past few moths have been a bit of a blur. Every day I’m given a new obstacle to overcome, but every day I’m blessed to wake up to her sweet smile and a new milestone to celebrate. Her personality is truly blossoming as the giggles roll in and play time is feeling more like play time, not just monitoring her tummy time. She loves peek a boo and looooooves to babble. We can go back and forth grunting and growling at each other. She also loves to gnaw on anything and everything she can get her hands on but her Sophie is her main squeeze at the moment, literally. I just wish she could learn to hold on to the dang thing for more than 5 minutes! Now that she is beginning to play more and interact with toys, I knew I needed a play area in the nursery so I did a little revamp. I added this adorable round pink rug and toy basket from Lorena Canals to keep up with my baby girl’s lil’ milestones. We spend most of our days right here, reading books, babbling, tummy […]
