Facing a Storm and Reaching Another Milestone
I can’t believe it. I am actually planning my little baby boy’s 1st birthday party! Aidan is 11 months old today. I’ve heard so many parents tell me, “Enjoy every minute, because it goes by so fast!” It sounds like a cliche, but it really is so very true. It is sometimes a little bit…

Under the Weather: A quick update
Wow, I’ve really been neglecting my blog. I’m feeling bloggy guilty. When I don’t post, I always feel guilty. This time, there is a really good reason, I promise.

It’s Time for a Change
This is going to be one of the most difficult posts I’ve written. A post about something I have struggled with for many MANY years. I know I am not alone in this struggle, though at times I have felt alone. Very alone and very ashamed. The struggle I am talking about is my weight.…

Aidan’s First Christmas
My heart is so full, I think it might just explode. This Christmas was my first one as a Mommy. It is so hard for me to put into words how much having this baby boy has changed me. I’ve said it so many times I know, but having him is the single greatest thing…

A Weekend Getaway with my Hubby
Last month, my husband and I took a weekend road trip to Riverstone Resort & Spa in Tennessee. Our baby had just turned 6 months old and alone time has been hard to come by. Those of you with little kiddos know what I mean. I had never been away from my baby before. We’ve never spent more than…
