It will be fall...

It will officially be fall Monday. Autumn, Fall, whatever you choose to call it, is my most favorite time of year. I don't know about you but the season definitely has an effect on my mood, and fall puts my spirits right up there. The smell, the colors, the coffee....coffee is better when there is a chill in the air. Halloween is secretly my favoirte holiday. I couldn't tell you why actually because it goes against my personality in so many ways. Pumpkins, oh how I love pumpkins, and fall wreaths, it's consuming! This will be my first fall season with a baby, a son. I am so so excited to experience this new season with him. For the last three months i haven't felt much like myself and to be honest I've had a bit of trouble getting used to the new normal. I'm 27 so I was a bit set in my ways, but now i'm adjusting. I'm not going to say i'm getting the hang of it, but I will say I'm letting go of my "everything has to be perfect" montra. I try less hard at keeping a tidy house and more at keeping my boy happy. I just love to stare at him. I keep hearing the song lyrics "I can't believe you're mine" in my head everytime I look at him. I know he's too young to do all the typical fall activities such as go on a hay ride at the pumpkin patch and go to Fallapalooza at the Library (I can't wait to go with Tucker when he gets old!!!!!!!!!!!!), I'm picturing a scene in my favorite movie You've Got Mail when they're at the little fair and then go into the book store for story time, but I can still do some fun fall activities such as get his halloween pictures taken and Hopefully get a family fall picture taken. (I'm a little obsessed with pictures I know.) Side Note: Not sure how often I will post, most likely just weekend posts or anytime I find a random moment filled with thoughts. Have a great weekend. It is my Monday so for all of you TGIF's out there, I will be giving you the stink eye ;) -B

Motherhood Right Now

I've gotten into the habit of getting up 1 hour before my husband and *fingers crossed* two hours before the kids. I'm a morning person and crave that time to sit and think and drink my coffee. I can see out of the kitchen window, where I sit to write my post, the sun is just about to come up. I'm so tired, Grant nursed a lot through the night last night, which he's been doing more frequently, but I feel good that I'm up and getting ready for the day. Motherhood has changed since Easter. Easter day Grant started to crawl forward, I say that because for weeks he would crawl or slide backward but showed no signs of going forward until Easter. He loves to explore and doesn't need to sit in my lap all day. Not that I've gotten anything done, I just love to sit and watch him and Tucker interact. Its bittersweet, my arms feel free, but I'm starting to think I"m more attached than my kids. I miss him sitting in my arms and looking at me most of the day....

If I Could

If I thought I was organized enough to keep one book full of information I might be learning the hard way, a day late and a dollar short kind of thing, I would. I would write down every nugget of information for my boys to learn from. Learn from MY mistakes rather than your own. Do I honestly think they will read it and believe it? Maybe when they're 30. Certainly not when they need to read it and learn more about the world, like age 10. I wish I had known so much more before leaving High School. I got dumped into this world naïve and ignorant and just a tad too "happy go lucky" for my own good. I thought all people were like me, happy, nice and trustworthy. I went to school in a bubble and left trying to believe everyone I met was good and honest. There are also so many financial mistakes I've made and a lot of career mistakes, mind you I wouldn't change a thing. I love where I'm at and how I got here, it makes me exactly who I am. I just wish I had known a ...

staying sane

I use the words "staying sane" loosely because really I feel like this whole new not very sane person. There are days I can't even put words in the correct order. Seriously I have my moments. But I feel like since my little boy was born (almost 4 months ago... WHAT) I have done a somewhat decent job of keeping my head a float. *disclaimer: I don't think I could have made it without literally pulling all of my hair out without my Husband! He's more wonderful than I could have ever imagined! Without him I do not want to know where I would be. Anyhow, before I had Tucker I was a latte addict, I had perfected how to make the perfect espresso in my mocha pot. I mean I had it down to a science. I knew exactly how to froth my milk and to what temperature. I had so much free time on my hands that it was ridiculous. And yes, that's how I spent some of it. lol But getting back to making lattes at home is how I stay sane. I gently pull in clips of my old life in...
