**This post contains affiliate links** 25 weeks. 6 months. The size of a melon. I cannot believe I am already this far along. With Dylan, I documented each week with a bump photo and growth update. This time around, well I have really done nothing. I mean, how are you suppose to keep up with a kid, work, run a household, and take care of a new horse, while documenting all of these things?! I can only have 1 cup of coffee a day people, and 0 tequila! I was at about 18 weeks when[...]
Well, that went fast. Our last Friday before school starts, and my little is officially in Pre-K. We headed to his open house last week to learn more about the program and what was to be expected. He is staying at the same daycare we moved to earlier this year, so it isn’t too much of a change. Dylan is actually going to miss his first day of VPK. I know, mother of the year, but tickets were much cheaper flying home on Monday instead of Sunday. We are currently on our last vacation of the[...]
Summer is here! Well, almost for us. I have been working A LOT lately, and I've decided it is more important for me to live in the moment with the little guy. My schedule is going to have to be switched around a little, and I might have to work some early mornings or late nights, but I know it will be totally worth it. I am taking Dylan out of daycare for 6 weeks. His last day will be next Friday until he starts VPK in August. EEK! - V.P.K. I'm having a hard time accepting that he will be on m[...]
Dylan: Mommy, you are my mommy now because I am little, but when I grow up to the sky and turn into a T-Rex you aren't my mom anymore. Me: I will always be your mommy, no matter how big you are. Dylan: Even when I grow to the sky like T-Rex? Me: Of course, no matter what, I will always be your mommy! Dylan: Wow, thats cool.
Dylan is one of those kids that has to have a toy with him everywhere he goes! Daycare is no exception. Usually, he brings a toy into school, as I take it once he goes into the classroom. This one day it was a little hectic as a little girl was throwing up all over the class, I took Dylan back out, and another teacher came out and took Dylan into another classroom, without realizing he had taken his toy dinosaur. I totally forgot the dinosaur when I went to pick him up, so we get in the car[...]
October is here! I love October, it is the start of the holidays and the time I say "Oh shit, the year is almost over!". I have been working really hard this year to meet my goals. I have done a lot to make sure that for the start of 2018 I am where I want to be both personally and professionally. Ultimately, I think at the beginning of the year I made a lot of goals without a plan on how to actually achieve them. I have been working throughout the year to really focus on what I want and how I[...]
Follow my blog with Bloglovin Being a mom is great, and there are so many memories that I never want to forget. You know, the first Christmas, first sports game, school activities... the list goes on. But then there are the other moments, the ones that melt your heart or make you shake your head and wonder how your child is still alive. This could be something they say or do. These are the moments I want to cherish. They may be messy, uncomfortable, and blush worthy - but who cares, this is wha[...]
This year for Dylan's birthday party we decided to do something a little different, and a little unconventional. We didn't exactly have a party, but instead went to Gatorland and invited our friends and family that wanted to join. We didn't go with the party package which included things that Dylan is just to young for. I am not going to lie, I was having intense anxiety over this birthday celebration. I kept thinking, "will people think we are cheap?" "will there be to much chaos with a larg[...]
Dylan, Three years old already! I told your daddy yesterday morning it feels like this means you are no longer a baby. You are so full of life! I love EVERYTHING about you! This year has been filled with learning experiences for us all. You talk in sentences, have conversations, play soccer at daycare, and have started going "pee pee on the potty!". You amaze me every day. I don't think that I will ever really get over the fact that God blessed me so much by letting me be your mommy. For t[...]
