Let’s just call it like it is— you’re 7 months, going on 18 years old darling…
This month I’ve turned into a ball of, ohmygodyouaregrowingupwaytofastI’mnotreadyforthis!!!!!
I’ve found myself literally in tears worried because I feel like somehow I have pushed you too hard to be the little independent girl that you are and grow up too fast. From day...
Oh no you did not just take TWO STEPS ALL BY YOURSELF! No you did not!
OK, yes you did. STINKY!!!! I’m so proud of you! We were playing on the floor like we always do in our bedroom, I decided to let go of your hands and step 1 then a quick step 2, and you did it all by yourself!!!!!
The day after your first Christmas, just a few days shy of turning 7 months old.
I’m so proud...
More pictures to come, but this is how I spent most of my Christmas…
The kid in me STILL LIVES!

Randomness.
A couple of things running through this noggin of mine, while Christmas quickly approaches and I have a TON OF STUFF to do!
1- Decided against Metformin. I googled, I asked via twitter, the blog, friends, doctors, but something just didn’t feel right. I’m not saying that if you’re taking it that you should question it, but for some reason I feel like I can go at least six...
Another Great Day in North Carolina.
Your FIRST, first Christmas.
This past weekend we spent your FIRST first Christmas in Little Washington, NC, with your MeMe, Grandpa and Aunt Jayne.
The night before we hit up a local spot downtown to have an amazing “Christmas Eve” feast. You really enjoyed the pieces of chicken I gave you— big girls don’t ONLY eat purees.
“Christmas Day” you got all gussied up and were ready to...
Via Ukraine: Sometimes I cry at weird moments →
viaukraine:
Like when the boys visited Santa today. I just about lost it. We were at Macy’s in Chicago, it was snowing, my kids (my kids) were sitting on Santa’s lap asking for presents in English and I started to tear up.
And now I’m crying again.
I could tell a lot of parents were in a bad mood, and felt…
This!!!! Everything about this. If you aren’t following viaukraine DO...
Anonymous donation of $20!
This just keeps getting better!!
Yesterday I decided to pay it forward and do a give away for a $20 gift card to Target, and this morning someone anonymously donated $20 MORE to this giveaway!!!
Instead of giving $40 to the winner, I’ve decided to split it in two and send a gift card to two separate winners!!!
I plan to draw the winners tomorow, late afternoon, so there’s still time...
For you! (No strings attached)
(For US readers only!)
Tis the season to give back…
I wanted to find a way to pay it forward this holiday season. Many of you have sent me words of encouragement when I needed it most, a pat on the back that I’m doing a decent job as a new mom, thoughtful emails telling me that I’ve inspired you in some way, and some have been so kind to send me gifts for Eliana.
So nice...
Any PCOS mamas out there that breastfed while on Metformin?
I’m on my second pill and really starting to feel BLAH!
I was wondering if you noticed any differences in your child’s behavior or your milk supply? Or any other symptoms for that matter?
Thanks!

For those of you who celebrate Christmas and have children old enough to understand the whole “Naughty” or “Nice” concept, YOU MUST DO THIS!!
A dear friend of ours just created this for their daughter and told her that Santa sent her a video. She literally freaked out and has watched it over and over again.
You can personalize it to say your child’s name, location,...
Duggar Miscarriage Stirs Insensitivity Towards... →
I couldn’t agree more with this article.
A miscarriage, is a miscarriage, is a miscarriage.
Whether people agree with their choice to continue to conceive or not, she still lost a child.
My heart breaks for them.

Just wanted to share a few more pictures from Eliana’s six month shoot and give you an update on sleep!
This weekend John left for a 4-wheelin trip so because I’m such an amazing wife I decided this would be the best weekend to start sleep training— who wants to deal with a bitchy sleep-deprived mama anyways?
Step one was to trade out her regular bumper and purchase a mesh...
