-Last night was the first night I can remember in 1.5 years that I slept through the night. Even when Emerson sleeps well, I usually wake up and go to the bathroom, but I slept 10:30 to 6:30 without a toss or turn. It felt like a time warp!! -I’m am thrilled to have a weekend at home with virtually no plans. Since Matt has started traveling again, I feel like our household is chaotic and we are in desperate…

It was back to work this week and last! For some reason, this transition almost felt more difficult than going back after maternity leave. I can’t pull ‘the new mom card’ anymore, and Emerson is go-go-go all the time now. She seemed very excited to be back in daycare. So excited, that she didn’t nap at all, and came home sleepy and cranky. With Matt being back on client work, and two evening events at work this week, I felt…
I bought a baseball hat at Bald Head and now I have no motivation to wash my hair. We had a wonderful time celebrating Matt’s birthday with Dallas friends at a brewery last weekend. I wish I had the energy to entertain more often. I’m on the way to Hawaii today and I’m equally excited and scared. That’s 9 hours of flying time plus layover/travel time. #whatwerewethinking After this trip, summer is coming to a close. I feel like I…
Hello, hello, So many fun things have happened…where do I begin? My mom was in town last week, and we had a blast playing with Emerson and shopping for summer clothes. My mom couldn’t believe how much personality Em has and how much she has grown up since March. It was nice to have some additional help for a few days, and I slept until 8:00! Matt and I also celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary! My mom was kind…
And just like that another school year is complete! I’ve been so busy lately, I haven’t even had time to think about summer. But now it’s here and I have 10 weeks off with my sweet girl! Matt’s parents were visiting last weekend and we did a lot of eating around town. We finally made it to Pecan Lodge after living in Dallas for 4 years! The meat lived up to the hype. Although, we skipped the main line by…
On days I stay at home, I want to be a working mom, and on days I’m at work, I want to be a stay at home mom. I let Emerson chew on my hair and then hide the crusty ends in a bun for work. She cries when I sing Disney songs. I gave up on making baby food after 2 days. Listening to Em scream cry it out is ten times harder than I imagined. I took her…
Hello from a rainy day on the couch. No school for Easter! Our little family had a fabulous weekend after a really tough week. I got some kind of food poisoning/stomach bug and ended up on the floor of the CVS minute clinic with a trash bag. Then it took a long time for me to recover. I think being sick while taking care of a baby is the hardest thing I’ve had to do since becoming a mom. Don’t’…
Hello! We’re back from our spring break trip to MD and FL. Despite a few low points, we had a great time. Airplane travel went great with Emerson, but all three of us got a cold during the first half of the trip. Needless to say, sleep was difficult. We had a blast visiting Matt’s parents though, and enjoyed being able to relax at their house and catch up. My family even drove up for one night, so we had…
Hello! How about a day in the life post? My non-work days look a lot different than they used to…but I love it. It’s funny how I remember playing house and playing with dolls when I was little, and this is always how I imagined my adult life. Emerson pretty consistently cries or wakes up around 5:30 or 6, but if I feed her or bring her in bed with me, I can usually get her to sleep until about…
