We All Need Somebody to Lean On

My big girl Noelle loves to help with baby Lucy.  She say excitedly, “Oh no!  Our baby is crying!”  Then she’ll say things like, “It’s okay baby Lucy.  We are here.  It’s going to be all right.”

Happy Anniversary!

This month, my parents celebrated their 39th wedding anniversary.  Their love has been a wonderful example to me through the years.  We actually gave them a cruise for their anniversary…a 90 minute cruise on the SEAL tour! 

It was very grandparent-esque.  The SEAL boat is a “Hydra-Terra” that acts as a bus on land and a boat [...]

The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift

For Mother’s Day, how would you like to look in a full length mirror and see yourself at your pre-pregnancy weight?  No more maternity clothes, elastic waists, or sizes that once were too big for you.  Wouldn’t it be wonderful to slip into your skinny jeans without having to use a crowbar to get into [...]

Help! I Can’t Zip Up My Pants!

My belly is growing with my little growing baby at 13 weeks and I’m extremely grateful.  After having 2 miscarriages, having a healthy baby at this point is something I don’t take for granted.  And I suppose that should help me feel better when I walk into my closet – a source of great frustration [...]
