New Mom Need Coffee

I have been seeing the positive lately in just about everything. This time of life with two littles under 2 can be both exhausting and the most enriching. I love to watch my two boys learn and grow, I think this time around with my 3 month old I am hyper aware of how fast he is growing and learning. I didn't have much to compare with my oldest and now that I do it's absolutely incredible how my little Grant is growing by leaps and bounds. He is already rolling on his side! Tucker is developing a stronger personality everyday! He is a full blow toddler with his own attitude and flair. He can repeat almost anything, and he definitely chooses his words wisely, he only repeats what he wants and ignores everything else. He is strong willed and knows exactly what he wants. That is refreshing yet challenging. Sometimes he will try to communicate what he wants and I don't quite understand which frustrates him, but I can see the comedy in it because one day he won't be dep

Challenges make me stronger. I learn from what has challenged me. I think everyone does, whether they know it or not.

Challenges will

I've heard a lot of people say lately that Fall is their favorite time of year. I am no different, I look forward to fall like I look forward to a long hot shower. The summer drains me, especially when pregnant and especially with a new baby. I like the cook crisp air of fall and I like the leaves when they crunch, I like all of the cliché things too such as boots, sweaters, and the good ol' pumpkin spice latte. (which I have recently tried to recreate at home and have failed miserably) Something I would like to start doing this fall on the blog is reviews. I am currently in the market for a nespresso and when I do get it I would like to review it here on the blog. I am a huge coffee/espresso lover and any time I find something that changes the game I'm going to share it. I would also like to do baby/toddler reviews, I just signed up to receive Highlights, the childrens magazine that I used to read when I was little. Well they have a new baby/toddler version where the pag
