Lately I have been purchasing a lot of gifts for that second, third and even fourth baby in a family. I can certainly say that my baby gift giving has changed since having Cora. I will never buy another baby "outfit" because mamma isn't going to wrangle baby into a four piece, uncomfortable outfit, to [...]

This is 10 months
(I forgot to write about 9 months, but it did happen!) Here we are in the middle of 10 months having just celebrated a nice Labor day weekend. I spent the past two years, at this time, being pregnant, so it was an odd feeling to look back on. We entered the 10th month while [...]
Baby Proofing
If I could sum up baby proofing in a nut shell I would say it is not for us. There are aisles of locks, magnets, fasteners and other things, in every store, to keep your child from falling, bruising, climbing, and the works. Essentially you can try to turn your home into a safe bubble [...]
If only I would listen to my baby
If you would like to go back in time you can read about my anxiety and issues with my current daycare situation. Basically, I just haven't been in love with it. In July, my current provider had a scheduled week off and I had to find other care for my child. Let me back this up [...]

Sure, I have mom friends that I can talk to, have wine with, but unfortunately most of my friends have older kiddos. They [...]
This is 8 months

We wrapped up her eighth month with a family camping trip, in Kansas, at Eisenhower State Park, for a family reunion. (Highly recommend the place if you are in the area.) This was Cora's longest [...]
Controlling the Chaos
I remember reading an article somewhere when I first had Cora. It stated that having a newborn does not mean your home needs to turn into a world of chaos. I have watched friends have babies and their world did just that, turned to chaos. Laundry piled in the corners, dishes stacked high, the look [...]
Swaddles, Rolling Over and High Chairs
I am two weeks from my maternity leave ending and five days from Cora turning 4 months old. Ask me what I'm going to do for work in two weeks and I will give you a long-winded answer that I will have to blog about later. It is weird how sometimes God will put opportunities [...]
