I love to read. I read everything from memoirs to literary fiction to parenting books. I've been known to finish an entire book in 48 hours, despite the fact that I have three little people running around my house. And I've been this way ever since I was a child. So naturally, one of my biggest fears as a mother is that my children won't like to read. (Isn't that just like a mom to worry about ... View the Post
Building Little Libraries
I love to read. I read everything from memoirs to literary fiction to parenting books. I've been known to finish an entire book in 48 hours, despite the fact that I have three little people running around my house. And I've been this way ever since I was a child. So naturally, one of my biggest fears as a mother is that my children won't like to read. (Isn't that just like a mom to worry about something that their children aren't even capable of doing yet.) A few months ago, I watched Kelly ... View the Post
Happy (Almost) July!
July is my second favorite month of the year. If you know me, and my obsession with Christmas, I’m sure you guessed that December is the first. But July is almost as magical. It’s my birthday month, my husband’s birthday month and marks the beginning of the second half of the year. In July, I look back at the first half of the year, and the goals that I set for myself in January, and figure out whether I need to get started (hi, fitness goals), get back on track (hi, organization goals) or if I ...

Book Club // Becoming
I've been trying to write my review of Michelle Obama's incredible memoir, Becoming, for weeks, but I felt I wasn't doing the book justice. I read this back in November and finished all 400+ pages in less than a week. I read before bed, I read during naps, I even read at the dinner table while my kids were eating their dinner. I could not put it down! I was a little nervous before I started reading Becoming because many of the "celebrity" memoirs I've read were just ok. They often have great ... View the Post
Baby #3 Bumpdate // 36 Weeks
We made it! I’ve been on baby watch (and bed rest) for eight long weeks, but I finally made it to my goal. My OB and MFM both wanted baby girl to keep cooking until 36 weeks and we’re finally here. And because babies come when they want and, more importantly, because God had a plan to keep her safe the entire time, she’s nestled quite comfortably in there and it doesn’t look like she’s coming out any time soon. Of course! I had a prenatal appointment yesterday and I’m only dilated 1cm. My cervix ... View the Post
Adventures in Potty Training
I hate to be the one to tell you this, but potty training is not for the faint of heart. I've heard those stories about toddlers waking up one day, refusing diapers and completing the entire process in three days. Unfortunately, that is not our story. Our potty training journey has been more of a marathon than a sprint. Harper started showing interest in the potty in January of last year, but we were in the process of moving so I put it off. Then we got to Orlando and I was focused on settling ... View the Post
Baby Book Club // She Persisted
My aunt, who is also Avery's godmother, always sends books along with the kids' birthday and Christmas gifts. This year, she sent a whole stack of amazing books and I have loved reading them to my girls every night. It's a personal mission of mine to instill a love of reading in my children and I pray that they devour books the way I do when they get older. I plan to review most of the wonderful books they got for Christmas, but I wanted to start with She Persisted: 13 American Women Who Changed ... View the Post
