Doing some haircuts lately sure has made me miss my salon life! 🥰 The adult interaction is an extra added bonus around here! My little assistant was down for a nap so my client and I got to enjoy some one on one time with zero interruptions!

I want to take this time and wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas, I hope you get to spend the holidays with all of your favorite people!

It’s been a minute!

You would think becoming a SAHM I would have more time to keep up with my socials, but I feel like I’m more busy now than when I was working! 😅🤪

I am so excited it’s December! Blakelee is going to be so much fun this year! We started our Advent calendar and today, the Elves 🧝 brought us all some Christmas pj’s to wear and Blake some stuffed animals 🙏😍

All these years I’ve waited to have children, I’ve heard moms of older kids and even Grandma’s and Grandpa’s say, “Enjoy the chaos, one day you will miss it so much it will make you wish you were still in those moments.”

Yes. Some days are overwhelming. The mess and the clutter gets to me, but then I stop and think about all the men and women who have said how much I am going to miss this. And in just the one short year of Blakelee’s life, I already am missing things, but also so excited for the next things she will do!

I just wanted to take a minute tonight to put a little smile on someone’s face who can look at this photo, see the chaos in their own precious memories of years past when they were in this season of parenting. I already know it’s going to go way too fast!

Our breastfeeding journey came to an end Thursday night 🥹 as I held my sweet girl and nursed for our very last time I was overcome by so many emotions. I couldn’t even stop the tears.

If you don’t know, Blakelee was taken by plane to KC just hours after an emergency C-Section and I had to stay behind. I was so scared I wasn’t going to be able to get her to nurse once I had her back in my arms. I pumped every 2 hours that night and quickly got to KC. I am so thankful for donor milk (if you’re able to donate, it is always greatly appreciated!)

Thankfully, with a ni**le shield (which I so naïvely thought I was going to have to use forever 😂) she latched back onto me! I refused to give her a bottle after this. I did a couple times so Tyler and my mom could feed her but that was it.

10.5 months of sweet bliss with my girl. I will forever cherish the late nights, the noises she made, the way she looked at me, and the caressing of her head and how she would caress me in return. I am so proud of us baby girl! 🤍

Life lately 🤍

I’m learning it’s ok. I’m learning my husband has embraced it far more easily than I 😅

I am told all the time how much I am going to miss this someday, as long as that little tornado that follows me around daily is happy and healthy, the tidy house can wait 🤍

I cleaned all day today.
Literally. All day.

I folded laundry and washed dishes and picked up mismatched socks and stray Legos. I swept up eggs from breakfast and chicken nuggets from lunch.

I helped my daughter tidy her room and fold and put away her laundry and my sons organize the stacks of papers they brought home from school.

I barely sat down, and I'm pretty sure the afternoon cup of coffee I was looking forward to is still sitting on the Keurig tray.

But despite my efforts and the efforts of my kids (yes, I do require them to help), my house still looks like this.

No, this is not a "before" photo. It is a right now photo after the hours I spent cleaning—and I just wanna say this about it:

If you walk into a home that looks like this, don't assume someone hasn't been working her (or his) tail off to keep the place inhabitable.

Don't assume a cleaning schedule needs to be put in place, or that better habits need to be maintained.

Don't assume no one cares.

Instead, you can safely assume someone probably feels defeated and a bit like she's failing.

You can assume she's overwhelmed. Frustrated. Hopeless to the point where she's considered burning the place down and starting over somewhere new.

You can assume she's tired. Soooo dang tired.

You can assume she has a ton on her plate. That between her marriage, children, friendships, kid activities, career, and house, something will inevitably be neglected—and she's not going to let that something be her family.

You can assume she's trying really, really hard, but the force of life is more powerful than she is right now.

When you walk into a house that looks like this, comment on the sweetly drawn artwork hanging on the refrigerator. Tell her you love how her house feels full of life. Tell her you're grateful she welcomed you into her home. Then offer to watch her kids for a day so she can clean without tornadoes following closely behind (Kidding... Sort of.).

Mostly, just tell her she's doing a good job.

Because truthfully? The fact is she's probably been cleaning all day.

Thankful I get to soak in these snuggles as she naps 🥰

I get asked ALL THE TIME if I put her down while she naps, and why I don’t. Some people look at me like I’m crazy, some people give me the “she’s going to be spoiled” spiel, and others smile and say, “Good for you!” This mom life is something else! 🤪

I honestly love the diversity of us. I really do! I think we would be bored if we all did the same things! I love learning hacks, trials and errors, bedtime routine/no routine, co sleeping/no co sleeping.

Obviously, I’m new here 💁🏼‍♀️ our sweets is only 6 months old (and it’s already going too fast)

Do I know if what I am doing is good for my baby? Nope 😏 I tell people all the time, “We’re just winging it!” about everything I do with her. 😎😂

I’m doing what I feel my baby needs from me. She gets upset when I lay her by herself. I’m not the one to just let her “cry it out” (I’m not hating on the parents that do either) I’m just doing what I feel is best for our child.

Here comes the big one! WE COSLEEP! 🫣👀 as long as you and your spouse agree on this one, I see no problem here. We bring up this topic from time to time, just to re-evaluate our feelings on it.

We tried the method to get her to sleep in her crib. We only made it 25 minutes and we had to check out ✌️I was told it was going to be hard to listen to her cry, and boy was it! Kudos to you parents who could power through! It wasn’t for this family! Tyler tapped out before I did. 😅 but I was also in the kitchen crying and deep cleaning to get my mind off of what we were trying to do 😭

If you made it this far in my story without judging me too bad 😏 let’s be friends!

I promise to only have time to write out these long posts while she is napping, that is if I’m not taking the time to make out a grocery list, plan our meals for the week, or right now I have been all over Pinterest brainstorming what I am going to do to the outside of our home this spring!

Let’s share easy, healthy meals, bargain finds of our interests, or mom hacks! When I was told what sippy cup to buy that was spill/leak proof 😍 ummm THANKS GIRL!
