This past week has been kind of rough for us. JJ has had eczema on his left cheek ever since he was 4 months old (that makes 3 months now). Before it got cold outside, over the counter creams like Cetaphil and Aveeno Eczema Treatment kept it under control, but when the weather turned cold, […]
Lately my boyfriend and I have been talking about traveling and finding fun activities to do as a family. Talking about fun places to go reminded me of when we went to Virginia last year (when I was nine weeks pregnant) with some friends to go biking on the Virginia Creeper Trail. That was the […]
Do you remember when you were in grade school and you had that one person (or group of friends) that you did everything with? I remember going out to the mall, watching movie/show marathons, and pulling all nighters with my best friends. Those were the days! When you become an adult, friendships like that tend […]
As a stay at home mom, if you don’t have a hobby, you could go a little crazy. My personal hobbies include blogging, journaling, and knitting scarves. Knitting is very therapeutic to me, and I have been knitting ever since middle school. My sister taught me how to knit when she was in a knitting […]
Last month (October 19, 2019), JJ turned six months old, and for the past few weeks, I have been kept on my toes! If JJ is not sleeping, he is on the move! From rolling, to crawling (only backwards), sitting up, and just getting into everything, he is a handful. I have absolutely loved watching […]
I cannot believe that this month will be my sixth month of blogging! I have loved documenting my life as a new mother and sharing my experiences with you guys. Within the past six months I have had my share of triumphs, trials, laughs, and even tears. I have loved documenting my sweet baby boy’s […]
Since my little man just turned 6 months old, I’ve been thinking about how much he’s grown in such a short period of time. I’ve thought about my delivery and hospital stay. Then I started thinking about the first week we brought little man home. It honestly feels like a lifetime ago, but it’s only […]
This past Saturday my little man just turned 6 months old! This morning we had to get his shots. Shot days are always a pain. I don’t mind the extra cuddles from JJ, but the doctor visit and the tears puts a little damper on the day. So instead of writing something doom and gloom, […]
Most of the pictures are him just playing in his crib. We do not leave pillows and blankets in the crib while he sleeps. This past week has been tiring. Ever since last Sunday night, we have been trying to transition our son from co-sleeping in our bed to sleeping in his crib in the […]
Since today was the first day that it actually felt like Fall in North Carolina, my boyfriend and I wanted to do something fun and Fall themed with JJ! We had never gone to Hawk’s Pumpkin Patch before, but I found it on Google, and I loved the look of it! The reviews were great […]
