When I see Lucas wake up on the monitor, and then he looks toward the bed to see where we are, it breaks my heart. I want to always be there when he’s looking for me. (Am I becoming a crazy mom?? Or have I already become one?? Thankfully, you can’t answer that…)

I wish the weekends were longer; I love the extended time we get to spend together as a family. Today we got to bum around and yesterday we had a play date with Kristen and Noah. Lucas is so calm compared to Noah. Noah is crazy! But I love that kid, and I’m glad we […]

We decided to check out the kohl’s children’s museum today, because why not? It’s a pretty amazing place, I can see how kids would love it. Lucas is still kinda too young to really enjoy it, though. Being able to walk, pick stuff up, etc. aid in the enjoyment of this place. But Lucas did […]

With my husband, I can ask him, “are we ok?” or “do you know that I love you?” With my son, I can’t. Well, I CAN, but he can’t answer… not with words, anyways. I think that’s one of the hardest things about having a baby. He can’t tell me when something is wrong. He […]

It’s so easy to feel like a bad mom. I go through my ups and downs with this. Right now, I’m feeling like a bad mom. It’s so hard to juggle everything, all while feeling so exhausted all the time. I feel like I’m not doing anything well, and it’s easy to get down about […]

We went to the library yesterday to watch the improv playhouse perform Rumplestiltskin, and I have to say, we were pretty impressed. It was a free performance at the local library so I guess we weren’t expecting much, but it was entertaining for both kids and adults (I was probably annoying the people around us […]

We went to 2 gym classes today; one was with “my gym,” which is not to be confused with our “the little gym” class, which is later in the day. The difference between the 2 classes is ridiculous. They are competitors and therefore should basically be the same class, but the person who leads “the […]

It’s nice to be able to go back to the library story hours, now that we’re not as sick as before. I am so much more aware of sick kids now, and I give them nasty looks when they cough or sneeze near my child, haha. I know that kids are gonna get sick, but […]

Our baby boy slept 8 hours straight last night!!! He’s growing up so fast.

 Love has looked different at different stages in my life. I love my husband dearly, and I have learned so much about love through him. We have gone through so much, and I truly believe that we are going to make it, because we want to. Love used to look like constant fights; and though […]
