One thing that’s becoming clear as I sink further into motherhood is that an alternative career path as a children’s librarian would be very fulfilling. There are few topics that hold my attention more than the endless discovery of books. Children’s literature is supreme, in a way, because you can consume so many books in … Continue reading Sweet Fall Board Books
In Florida we have to make our own hygge. In the fall and winter, I crave cozying up by the fire with a soft blanket, even better if the snow is falling outside the window! Instead, it's 80 degrees half the days in December. So we have to get creative. This year I discovered book … Continue reading Cozy Seasonal Woodland Books for Children
Baby Daphne is here!! I had a feeling she would come earlier than her brother, and my suspicion was that she would come the weekend between 40 and 41 weeks - and she did (40 weeks + 3 days)! I had really wanted to get everything done on my pre-baby list AND have a couple … Continue reading Daphne’s Birth Story
Here is part 2 of my pregnancy update! I'm writing this at 27.5 weeks, about 3 months left to go! CRAVINGS The biggest clue that I was having a girl is the ravenous hunger I felt in the first trimester (fortunately it has quelled in the second trimester!) and odd, strong cravings. With Arthur, I … Continue reading Baby Girl Update 2!
I am currently 27 weeks pregnant with our second child, a baby girl due in December! Blogging has gone to the wayside, but I still loving reading blogs, so wanted to share an update how this pregnancy is going. I loved doing journal-style entries to document Arthur's pregnancy, so be prepared for longer, story-style answers! … Continue reading Baby Girl Update!
Arthur just turned 15 months and we already have 5 (!) roundtrip flights under our belt, so I thought I would share a few things we've learned about traveling with a baby. First off, I will say that it does seem like there's a sweet spot for traveling with an infant who doesn't need to … Continue reading Traveling with a Baby/Toddler
Wow, it feels like such a long time has passed since the last update! The third trimester has been so interesting, as I expected. The first two are pretty straightforward - the first trimester was nausea and fatigue and lying low, the second was fairly normal energy and lots of dreaming about what's to come, … Continue reading Pregnancy Update – 3rd Trimester
21 weeks - my favorite picture of the little-but-visible bump! 28 weeks on the beach in St. Augustine Note: I started writing this when I was 22 weeks, and then proceeded to spend all my spare time & energy working on the baby registry for the next 2-ish months (it's like a part-time job!), so … Continue reading Pregnancy Update – 2nd Trimester
Oh man, the first trimester was rough! I felt so horrible almost every day until I hit 14 weeks. Now, the cramps are mostly gone and I have a lot of my energy back! Praises!! I read through some posts like these and took a few recommendations from other people to try to make it … Continue reading First Trimester Favorites
Yep, we're on to the next adventure! I don't really like doing things the easy way, so I figured why not add a pregnancy to this year that has already been filled with the challenges of a global pandemic, moving to a new state, buying a house, and starting new jobs?! We always have to … Continue reading Baby J: The First Trimester
