2014

    It's 2014! No, I didn't accomplish everything I wanted to in 2013 but it's ok. I'm human (imperfect)! I did begun my decluttering which I'm proud of. New year so new goals.  With one child starting to crawl/walk and another one going to start Kindergarten this August I know it's going to be an exciting year. My "babies" make my world go round. I'm not ready for these changes but I haven't created the anti-growth pill so I don't have many options here. 

I enjoy seeing the growth, maturity, & independence they both gain daily but as any parent I don't want them to grow up. It saddens me as I see this but I also have a great sense of accomplishment. Being a stay at home mom is no walk in the park as there are no sick or play hooky days. But, the bonding you create with your children are priceless and I wouldn't trade it for nothing :)

Parenting smells :)

I like to post Mommy moments or Mommy thoughts on Facebook (FB) but I think I'm going to start posting them here instead. For today it will be about smells, I know what your thinking "What?!" Well to begin my son has had an ear ach since last week and we were doing ear drops and if that didn't help I was instructed to begin an antibiotic. We started drops on Tuesday and on Thursday antibiotics began, he was still tugging on his ear and being cranky. Going on 5 days with the antibiotic it seems as he is having diarrhea which began yesterday. My little man also has acid reflux which he is also on medication for, so with all that being said, we come to smells. Today I've been thrown up on and pooped on! Which really is more like a typical day for me anyway since he's only 3 1/2 months. Any parent will know all about what I'm talking about today. Even though you may change your clothes a least twice a day it's still worth it when they look at you and smile, want you to hold them all day or laugh when you play with them. Parent hood is an everyday adventure that is unpredictable but I wouldn't change it for anything. What about you, would you rather stay at home and smell like throw up or go to work?
