On this beautiful and sunny Monday morning, I am sitting at my dinner table with my “Mama Bear” coffee mug in hand. I have already drunk half of my delicious coffee with caramel creamer (my favorite), and I have so many thoughts running through my mind. It is 8:00am currently, and I know I have […]
I absolutely cannot believe a year has passed since we welcomed little Javier David (JJ) into the world. This past year has been the fastest yet slowest year of my life. There have been wonderful ups, and there have been very emotional lows as well during this year, but the most important thing is that […]
This past Sunday (the 19th), my little JJ turned 9 months old! There have been so many changes from 8 months to 9 months. It is just so insane how fast babies grow. I swear I just had a newborn, and now I am chasing a soon to be toddler around the house. He seriously […]
I can’t believe that we just said goodbye to 2019 and hello to 2020! This year has been full of triumphs, trials, sickness, health, and much more. Last night I enjoyed having a friend over to visit for a while. She loves playing with JJ. We used to be coworkers, and after 2 years of […]
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 […]
As a first time mother, I’m realizing that so many people try to tell you the “best” way to take care of your child. There’s family, friends, coworkers, and even people you don’t even know that know exactly what your baby needs. Not! Only YOU know YOUR baby. Most people just want to help, but […]
I really had a great day today! Since Sunday is the first day of the week, it felt like a have a fresh start today. Last week had a few very rough moments for our little family, but I feel like this week will be so much better for us! This morning we slept in, […]
Before I had my son, I was really against having a baby sleep in the same bed as my boyfriend and me. When I was pregnant, people would always tell me, “Oh just wait! That baby will end up in your bed!” I always just protested jokingly. I did not want him in our bed […]
Breastfeeding is a very touchy subject for many people. Everyone has an opinion on it. Some people act like you’re a bad mother if you do not breastfeed your baby. That’s so NOT true. I think as long as your baby is fed and happy, you are doing a fabulous job mama! The mom shaming […]
Yesterday my little sweetie turned 4 months old! It’s kinda funny because every time a month passes, my boyfriend and I will say, “Wow! It’s amazing that we kept a tiny human alive this long!” Hes been doing a few new things lately. He’s been rolling over, and grabbing his feet. He’s just really growing […]
