Truth: I would love a good night of sleep. I would love to go to bed at a normal time and wake up at 7:30 am or even 8. Especially on the weekends. I would love to not have to wake up at 3am for a feeding and to pump. I would love to not [...]

retail therapy

May 2, 2013

I could seriously use some retail therapy. But, since I’m too broke to actually spend money, I spend hours and hours window-shopping online. True Story. But if I happen to find some extra money [or if some generous person decides to throw me an extra five-hundred dollars or so], I’ve pretty much got it all [...]

April 29, 2013

Removing expectations. This. My mantra for the week. Ya know, I spend a lot of time setting myself up for disappointment. I place such high expectations on myself, my husband, my coworkers, my friends, etc. And it’s not fair to anyone. And it’s not going to change overnight. I’m always going to be my harshest [...]

{ weekly mantra }

April 22, 2013

This. This is my mantra for the week. One of my yoga teachers at Yoga Bliss said it during class over the weekend. It’s incredible that a casually mentioned phrase could stick in my mind for so long. But it did. In fact, it’s still there. Stuck. Cause guess what? Big changes don’t happen overnight. [...]

{ our first year }

April 21, 2013

Today was our one-year anniversary. We chose to celebrate our first anniversary by spending time as a family. No fancy dinners. No grand plans. Just Chad. Me. And our Fancypants Babycakes. It’s hard to believe that we eloped a year ago. One week after announcing our pregnancy to the world, we drove to Portland, Maine [...]
