trader joes

it seems like no matter what i buy, i always spend the same amount.  wine, fruit, veggies, frozen lunches. which is great for my budget but still kinda odd. and can i say that i hate those little kid shopping carts. whoever thought those were a good idea should be forced to actually push one…

coffee vs wine

as a stay at home mom, the line between my morning coffee and an afternoon glass of wine are really blurry. I am sure there is some magical formula, maybe like (toddlers wake up time + the number of tantrums) x hours until nap or bedtime / hours of sleep i got = when i…

a typical monday

sometimes as a stay at home mom, i tend to feel under appreciated. a toddler is not going to say thank you for all the things you do all day. she is more likely to throw a tantrum. my working husband doesn’t always realize all the things i do on a daily basis to make…

aryssa’s first dentist visit

so that was fun.  apparently aryssa hates doctors. as soon as we walked into the office and checked in, she started crying and saying “no go no go”. she sat in my lap during her exam and teeth cleaning but she cried the entire time. she finally stopped when the hygienist asked her if she…

to start with, the little princess just turned two!!!! i know, wtf. time has flown by so fast. we moved to out of state for a little bit to help out with my husband’s family. after his dad passed away unexpectedly, we made the move back home (atlanta). a few months ago we finally moved into…

attack of the boobies

no one prepared me for the giant inflation of my boobs. yes everyone said the would get bigger but i truly wasn’t expecting this. before i got pregnant, i wore a size 34C. i bought a few sports bras after delivery to accommodate my growing boobs. i wanted to get a real bra but i…

explosive poo

so the last few days the little princess has had a little gas. today she finally got it all out with a gigantic explosive shart that sent poo all up her back. it was gross. i was meeting a friend out for lunch and heard the little girl pooting and tooting in the backseat. when…

baby noises

i honestly cannot believe the noises that come out of this little princess!!! her burps are quite manly and her farts put my husband to shame. if you are holding her, she vibrates your whole hand. and they are loud and usually wet sounding. its gross. i am not looking forward to the day that…

spit up

lets just start this off by saying warm wet baby spit up running down your cleavage is an absolutely disgusting feeling. at first the little princess was spitting up about an hour after feeding and had horrible gas that would make her scream. the spit up was gross, smelled, and looked like curdled milk. i…

crying (and guilt)

i was going to talk about spit up today but changed my mind. crying. i know that this is the only way that a baby communicates their needs but sometimes it gets frustrating, just not for me. princess can cry and as soon as i pick her up she is fine. but poor husband, i…
