I will be the first to tell you that my littlest baby boy is not an 'easy' baby, he had colic and still only … Continue reading Walker’s First Birthday
This past weekend was filled with sickness, but a lot of fun as well. Our house has entered the realm of first year preschool sickness and it is consuming our household. First Reid got sick, then Walker did, then I did, then Reid did again, then Drew, then Reid and now Walker again...all over the … Continue reading Weekend Recap: Sickness, Runs and Football
People always told me "your heart just grows" when talking about having another baby.

That being said, I love my children so much I cannot explain … Continue reading Walker’s Five Month Recap
Dear My Sweet Preschool Boy, Wow, sending you off to preschool is a lot harder than I could ever imagine.

We welcomed Walker William into the world 6 weeks … Continue reading Motherhood Lessons: First 6 Weeks Postpartum
"Are you going to try for a girl?" is the question that I have been asked more than anything over the course of my second pregnancy with my son. At first, I laughed it off and thought nothing of the comments. However after weeks of hearing the same question, I started to question having another … Continue reading Motherhood Lessons: Becoming a Boy Mom
Warning: this is an extremely personal post. While I sit here writing this post, I am on the verge of being an emotional basket case!
