Newborns are a bundle of joy –there is no doubt about that. But they come with a lot of other emotions too. Although everybody around you like to prepare you for what’s coming, but no one can ever put into words what it like is to be a parent to an infant for the first time. I am a father to a baby girl. She is now six months old. We are pretty used to her now – I and my wife. But the first six months were a roller coaster for sure. I know each parent is different and so is every baby but if we are to summarize general emotions or feelings of being a new parent than following mentioned aspects will fall into the universal category. There is no parent on planet earth who hasn’t felt the following ride of sensations during their early days of parenthood. Here we go; Sleep deprivation – no baby bedding can make your child sleep We have heard so many stories about sleep that during the baby preparations and shopping, our major focus was to create a perfect sleeping environment fo...

Thank-you Little Green Pouch for sending me your product to conduct my review.  I was not paid for this review and all opinions are 100% mine. The Story behind Little Green Pouch :  "With Maggie’s first son, Kelley, trips to the grocery store were definitely on her “dread” list. When she had her second son, Finnegan, aka the Finn-A-Monster, it moved to the top of that list. But then Maggie’s grocery store began stocking those food pouches you've probably seen. On one particular visit, after substantial clamoring, Maggie caved and popped the tops of two pouches. A miracle ensued - she watched in amazement as her boys sat quietly in the cart, working out ounces of healthy fruits and veggies, which they wouldn’t dare eat out of a bowl. Never missing an opportunity, she sped through the remaining grocery store aisles in relative peace. By the time the shriveled pouches moved along the conveyor belt to checkout (yes, she paid for them) Maggie realized that sh...

It seems like every few weeks I get that baby urge.  You know the big desire to have another baby.  I am getting closer to 29 but I still have several good years left to have a baby.  I just think about the sweet baby smiles, the many first in that first year of life.  I think about pregnancy and I have been blessed with two pretty good ones.   My husband thinks we are done since we have our boy and girl.  He came from a family of 2, but I came from a family of 3 so its hard!  I know kids are expensive and I know we would love to have an empty nest when we are young still.  :)  We hope that our kids will get married and have children when we are younger too!  :)  I also do not want another c-section!  I had a normal vaginal birth with my daughter but with my son it was c-section.  IT WAS THE WORST EVER!!  Even with those memories I still think about the love from everyone during that time, food brought over, frie...

It is so sad that it is almost near that 1st birthday time.  Titus is growing so quickly and he is such a big blessing to our family.  :) He is a fast crawler and has even morphed into a bear crawl sometimes which has created many giggles in the family.  He still has the 2 bottom teeth but I think he is working on some for the top.  We are still breast feeding but have introduced a little bit of whole milk too.  He loves it!  We are still having issues with sleeping, he seems to wake up too often at night and mommy is exhausted but praying it through and I know this to shall pass!  It is only a short season when our babies are babies.   Enjoy the photos, he is quick so it is very difficult to get a good picture.  Our 11 month sign is made out of a paper plate and is suppose to be a hat.  I will share another post later and share more of these hats!  :) 

My little monkey boy is 10 months old today!  Tear...he is growing up too fast.  I am so sad and excited at the same time to start planning his 1st birthday.  This photo shoot was the hardest one to date since he was such a mover.  He got really excited because I had balloons out but ultimately I think I need a new camera.     Yes, he is standing up on everything...and even climbing.   He is still my little peanut but to me he is growing fast!  I am ready ready for him to start sleeping through the night!!  He is a good eater but is already tired of baby food since he wants what ever mom, dad, or sister is eating.  He had his first big and bad diaper rash last week but it is almost all cleared up-Praise GOD!  

My husband is a youth pastor so we hang out with a lot of teens and they took this picture and made fun of little man.  I have to admit it is kinda funny! 

First time Selah sat on the potty...this was taken a couple years ago already!!!  Time sure flies!  She was a pro...did #1 and #2 first time she sat on it!  

1MONTH OLD!!!  Time sure went FAST! Titus was not to happy at the moment.    Still showing a grumpy face.  

Last night my hubby and I were talking about the difference in changing a girls diaper and a boys diaper.  My husband thinks we should buy the pee pee teepee!!  I had to giggle at him because I just see getting peed on as a right to motherhood!  LOL  Have any of you mama's used the pee pee teepee?  

Payless currently has the BOGO Sale going until Valentines Day.
