Where's 2Pac?
Where’s Waldo 2Pac?
We’re at dinner the other night and John say’s, “I’m gettin a little 2Pac from that headband.”
So what if he’s right.
The headband stays, 2Pac or no 2Pac.

And Vogue vogue vogue...
We learned how to Vogue yesterday. I turned some Madonna old school style up and we Vogued to the beat.
Get it Gurl. I knew you’d have rhythm. It’s in our blood.

PS-Thanks Maura for the socks and headband. E loves them!
Miracle Blanket- It saves lives.
Remember in this post when I mentioned my good old friend, Miracle Blanket? I cannot tell you new mama’s or mama’s-to-be how incredibly, insanely bad you need this present sent from God!
I’ve been meaning to do a review about this, but one of my tumblr friends, Connecticut Girl, just wrote this to me and I think this speaks for itself.:
“Would it make you feel a little...

This website is so freakin cool!
How many times have you thought, “Am I really doing enough with my child?” Well the cool thing about Productive Parenting is that they send you daily updates, according to your child’s age, on what activities you can do! Thank God, because I seriously have no clue sometimes and...
These photos were taken two weeks after Eliana was born, by Martha Manning Photography.
It’s amazing to see how much E has grown in just 8 weeks. I barely remember the little girl in these pictures.
Every day she grows more and more into her own person. And every day I grow more and more in love with her.

Anonymous asked: Hi - I was just wondering if you had any trouble breastfeeding at all? Or did it all just come naturally?
Mall Walkin'.
I tweeted about this the other day. Seriously y’all, my butt needs its own zip code. I’ve always had a rather large booty (ask my ballet teacher who used to yell at me for not tucking my butt in. “Um hello!!! My butt is tucked in!”)
My butt has always been one of the first things guy’s point out when describing me. I’ve had a love/hate relationship with my...

That’s right little girl, you are my lucky charm.

Chunky Monkey.
This past week has been pretty tough on our little girl. We’ve noticed a huge increase in her crying. She also stiffens her legs quite often, almost as if she’s in pain and she seems miserable all the time. I’m sure many of you mamas know where this is going…
We took her to the doctor on Wednesday and sure enough, we found out that she has acid reflux. (sniff sniff).
We...
Something MAJOR happened!!!
Last night Eliana and I were on our way home from my parents. Just as I turned onto the highway she burst into tears. I knew it would be a while before I approached the next exit and to be honest, there was a part of me that was like, Oh man, do I really want to pull over, or just let her cry it out? So I decided it was best to just reach my hand back to offer her...
I lied.
I was one of those women who said I would NEVER buy these “stupid toys”.
Yep, that was me. I would never buy the colorful grossness that has been over-produced in this country.
But, I’m happy to say that I still have not actually purchased any of these items, however if you give them to me, then it’s a sure bet that I will use it :) Hence my child LOVING this little...
These are the moments where I feel most accomplished.
Any doubt I have in the back of mind, any insecurities that I experience throughout the day, wash away.
These are the moments.
My little girl wakes up every morning with a weepy cry. I scoop her up and we lay down in the bed together. While feeding her, we both fall asleep. This is when she is most peaceful and this is when I’m most...
Confessions of a Crazy Mother- 104
I wake up several times a night frantically searching for the baby in our covers. Sometimes I’ll even grab Khloe (our dog), convinced that she’s Eliana and panic. We don’t even sleep with Eliana in the bed during the night, so I’m not sure where this panic is coming from.
A couple of nights ago I even grabbed our pillow and started rocking it and tried to breastfeed...
Doing the Deed. OUCH!
It’s official. Monday was my post partum 6 week checkup to give me the “okay” to workout but most importantly, do the deed.
I love how he even gave me some pointers for our first time. I about died!
I’ve heard from several women that it almost hurts as much as your first time— and we all remember how horrific our first time was. OUCH! I remember the anticipation...
You're so vain.
“I’ll bet you think this song is about you. Don’t you? Don’t you? Don’t you?”
From the very first week E has been obsessed with looking at herself in the mirror when we change her.
Like, she stares y’all. She’s completely infatuated with herself!
Without a doubt, if Eliana is screaming at the top of her lungs, there are three things that will fix...
Sobbing…
Seriously sobbing right now!
My dear cyber friend Kara just found out that they will be adopting a precious little boy come September!!
Kara, there are no words for how excited I am for you! Your dreams are coming true!!!

I used to drive an expensive car and wear designer clothing. I used to buy expensive make-up to match that clothing. I used to get my hair hi-lighted every 4-6 weeks. And I used to spend tons of money on dinners out and drinks with the girls.
That was before infertility.
Everything seemed to spiral out of control when infertility struck our lives and we found out that almost every penny spent...
“A drink from the tap or a swig from the bottle”
This is what my husband said right before he tried my breast milk….
(You know you’ve thought about it)
John asked ALL the time while I was pregnant. He becomes fixated on the strangest things and for some reason my entire pregnancy he was obsessed with breast milk.
Then Eliana came and the milk starting pouring in (or out...
