Back when I was first pregnant with Nate (like 8 or 9 weeks along), I was scrolling through Pinterest and discovered a few posts about indoor play tents and play tee-pees. I thought they looked pretty cute and since I don’t know any kid who don’t love building forts; I thought to myself how cool… Continue reading Play Tent Item Review
I wish I could say that I never have uttered the phrase “When I have kids I’ll never…” but unfortunately, I have said this more times than I could probably count. It’s one of those phrases that I think all non parents say to either make themselves feel superior to those who have kids or… Continue reading I’ll Never…
About a week and a half ago as Nate and I were playing and fooling around on the floor, he crawled over to me and bite down on my forearm super hard. Usually it doesn’t bother me since he still has zero teeth but this time I actually jumped because it was so forceful and… Continue reading More Heart Breaking but Exciting Milestones!
I’ve survived ten months as a first time mom and I feel like I’ve learned so much more than I ever thought was possible. These past ten months have been filled with so much love and happiness but they’ve also been filled with anxiety, frustration, fear, and an overwhelming feeling that I’m screwing everything up.… Continue reading Tips for First Time Parents
Today is August 20th 2015. In six days my baby will be 10 months old and I am in complete shock by it. Ten whole months have just flown by! Some nights when I look at him sleeping peacefully in his crib; I think to myself, yes he is still our little baby boy. But… Continue reading Nate at 10 Months

Stella is our oldest and our only female. She is a grey and white Maine Coon cat. She is actually… Continue reading Babies and Cats

A few months ago I decided I would start trying to make my own baby food. Nate was at the age where it’s recommend you start introducing solids into an infant’s diet so I thought to myself “Why don’t I just make my own food? It’s probably faster and cheaper than buying jarred food.” Well,… Continue reading Homemade Baby Food Update!
This has got to be the best summer I’ve had in a long time! Since I work two part time nursing jobs, I usually end up working every single weekend which sucks considering Kurt only works Monday-Friday. So for the past 2-3 years, it’s felt like I haven’t really gotten to enjoy any quality time… Continue reading Ah, The Summer So Far!
Well, baby Nate had his nine month check up today (whelp!) and I’m proud to say he’s doing awesome! He’s roughly 20 lbs now; putting him in the 50th percentile for weight (which is where he’s been all along) and he’s 28.5 inches long. He dropped slightly in the height percentile but honestly, looking at… Continue reading Nine Month Check Up!
