Happy With a Miserable Baby
Good morning, friends! We’re over halfway through our week and things are looking bright! Avery has had the sniffles + teething for what feels like months! It’s been exhausting for the two of us. When my babies are sick or teething, they don’t sleep or feed well. The extra congestion bothers her and she hasn’t been very happy about it. And the thing about being a mother is we feel their pain. If they’re miserable, we’re miserable. It’s easy to mirror their emotions and it always takes a toll on me until I realize View Post
Family Date Night Out! (GIVEAWAY)
Good morning, friends! It’s another drizzly day here in Dallas. Last year, Aaron got mountain bikes for us to go biking at a trail a few minutes from our old house (one of the best trails in Dallas!) but we couldn’t seem to make it out during the spring season because it rained SO much! The dirt trail needs 1-2 days to dry out after a rainstorm and that never seemed to happen. Grateful for the lessening chance of drought, but hot dang, this mama misses being outside!
Well, I’ve got a fun mid-week post to share with y’all! It’s a couple of our FAVORITE restaurants to take our family to just north of Dallas. View Post
Sleep Training: Q & A
Good morning, babes!! I’m so excited to start this series of Sleep Training posts right here on the blog. Leave your BABY SLEEP QUESTIONS on this post or on my Instagram post and you might just find it answered on my next post! If you haven’t read my first blog post chatting all things baby schedule related: Getting Your Babycakes Sleeping 8 Hours By 8 Weeks then pop on over first! It’s a good one and is such a great place to start reading when you’re in the beginning or in the middle of trying to help your little one sleep. I wrote that post when Avery was 2 months old. I was exhausted. Just so, so tired. View Post

Best Moving Tips for This Mama Llama
Good morning, babes! Hope your New Year is off to a great start! Today, my oldest went back to Kindergarten after spending the nice and long Christmas break at home. She’s always been so helpful with our baby Avery which means this mama sure misses her already.

Savannah’s Birth Story
Today, this beautiful baby turned 6 years old. I wrote her birth story on our old family blog right after she was born. I’d love to share this with y’all over here with a quick copy & paste. I don’t know about you but I love a good birth story. I always read through Savannah’s birth story as I anticipated the arrival of each new babe. For me, those first few hours are nothing short of a miracle. A heavenly experience to hold in your arms the life you created. To finally put a face to a name. Meeting her for the very first time feels like yesterday since it was such a powerful moment for me. I’m grateful for this memory. The sound of her cry, the way her toes curled in, and my surprise at her long dark hair. Heavy sighs.. and tears. I love this sweet girl that made me a mom.
