There is a list of things in Motherhood that most of us wish we could just skip past. You know the times I'm talking about....times where you have to watch your child experience some type of hurt. I'm sure each Mommy has a completely different list, but most lists would likely i…
You know the feeling you get when you first lay eyes on your little one in the hospital knowing that a few days later you will blissfully whisk them away to their new home where they will take their first bath, learn to crawl and fill the rooms with giggles, love and immense joy? Yeah, t…
1. For Levi to always know, without a shadow of a doubt, how deeply he is loved. 2. To live my life so that when Levi sees me, he sees Christ. 3. To reflect a picture of an ever growing, healthy, fun and exciting marriage relationship, so that Levi will always have that security and grow …
(DISCLAIMER! This post is to encourage the "Sandy Moms". It is not intended for any other reason but to be honest about what I feel about Mothering (you ask for honesty, you get it). It should not be taken any other way than to encourage those Moms who are made to feel "…
Levi is almost 4 months old (if you want to discuss how fast he's growing up, you can find me in a corner somewhere bawling). About a week ago, we decided to give him some rice cereal and see what happened. We mixed it up with his formula, put it in a bowl, broke out the baby spoons …
You may remember my post when Levi was merely 7 weeks old on The Great Diaper Debate . Each diaper, Pampers, Huggies and Luvs had it's pro's and con's to me, whether it be smell, feel, consistency, etc. Since then, I mainly used Luvs. They smelled the best by far, were easy …
Last week, you turned three months old. I feel like each morning when I wake up and look at your sweet, peaceful little face, you have grown another inch during the night. You are literally growing right before our very eyes, and as I look at pictures of just a few weeks ago, I am astoun…
Pacifiers. We all have our opinions on them, and at our house, we are a pacifier family. No seriously, I stick one in Husby's mouth when I need him to hush. ;) I kid, I kid. (Love you, Honey. Sugar Bear. Apple of My Eye.) When Levi was a newborn (OH MY GOODNESS HE IS NO LONGER A …
Once upon a time, there was a Little Boy who had a delightfully fun and stylish car seat. He loved it and often begged to go for a ride, just so he could sit on his throne. His amateur parents lovingly referred to the seat as his "tranquilizer", since every time they strapped …
So, last night I'm not sure what got into the little fella, but he would not go to sleep. He had only 2 short naps all day, so I figured he would be exhausted, but that was certainly not the case. He was up and ready to play. It made for a long night for me...probably the most chal…
Well, I've had my first panic attack as a Mommy. I unstrapped little Levi from his carseat and as I held him he felt hot. Really hot. I grabbed my trusty take-with-me-everywhere-I-go-thermometer and took his temperature and it read 100.4. That is when I dropped everything, grasped…
My Little Love Lamb is ten weeks old now. That seems so short, yet so long all at the same time. I feel like my Weebs has always been with us, and I just can't imagine life without him. Husby and I often ask ourselves, "what was our life like before him"? And we always re…
It's funny how my prayer life changes with each season of life. Growing up, the majority of my prayers focused on me. Please help ME do this, please show ME what to do, please keep ME safe, please provide this for ME, etc. Of course, I always covered my family in prayer and needs o…
Levi wakes up between 3 or 4 am every morning for his first "middle of the night" feeding. It is during this very early morning time period that I find myself sitting up in bed, rubbing my eyes and trying not to fall asleep while I feed little Weebie. It is also during this ve…
So. Levi is now 7 weeks old and we are still testing out diapers to find what works best. We have three different kinds that we switch between and I just can't decide what I like best. First off, we have Pampers. I like Pampers because of the "thin factor". They are thin a…
Today I was totally off my game. I spilled formula all over Levi. Twice. I poured my Diet Coke into my ice too fast and it overflowed. I ran into a wall. I left the refrigerator door open on accident. For like 5 minutes. I left a little bit of the wrapper on the portion of the stick of…
At supper tonight, Husby asked me, "do your days run together since you are home taking care of Levi all the time?" I sat there and thought for a minute and realized that I couldn't immediately think of what day it was, let alone the date! I smiled and responded, "Yes, …
Saturday afternoon I got caught up on all of my glamlifehousewife@gmail.com e-mails. I had actually forgotten that I hadn't checked it since a few days before I had Levi, so I had a lot of correspondence to get caught up on. It was so much fun - I just love getting e-mails full of q…
Night Night time at our house has taken on a whole new meaning now that we have the little bebe. There are four essentials to my little boy's bed time routine that I simply can not live without. All four things that I am about to show you have made this transition into parenthood mu…
