The only thing better than the weekend is a holiday weekend! I love getting an extra day off to run around the city, shop or relax. This weekend, I had a lot to do and pretty much hit the ground running once I left work. On Friday, I saw Dreamgirls at Dallas Center Theater and…

Oh the Places You’ll Go
Over a decade ago, my senior year English teacher gave each of us a copy of Dr. Seuss’ Oh the Places You’ll Go. It’s such a sweet story about entering a new chapter, stepping out on your own and experiencing everything that life has to offer. I loved the story so much that I sent…
Do You Know What Today Is?
It’s my anniversary and I can truthfully say the last year has flown by. One year ago, the torrential rain ruined my plans for a beautiful outdoor wedding, but couldn’t detract from the beauty of the day itself. Ironically, today also started off with a downpour so if rain on your wedding day is good…

Never Grow Up
“Oh darling don’t you ever grow up, don’t you ever grow up Just stay this little Oh darling don’t you ever grow up, don’t you ever grow up It could stay this simple” – Taylor Swift “Never Grow Up” Prior to Monday, I had never heard this song until my BFF played it while stopping…
My Baby Must Haves
During their first months of life, babies require a lot of your time, so I’ve slept and bathed less than normal and generally not cared about my own appearance at all. I can tell you it’s totally worth it! It’s so amazing to see Journey grow and become more active with time. In my short…
One Month of Parenthood
It’s been exactly one month since labor pains and an emergency C-section propelled James and I into parenthood. There are times when I look back and it feels like it all happened yesterday. If you’ve been following my pregnancy, you know that I had a relatively easy pregnancy, but when I unknowingly went into labor…
Nesting
With less than a week until my due date, I’m filled with so many emotions. It’s been a while since I have sat down to collect my thoughts, probably because they are all over the place. Excitement, anxiety and total fear are all present as I prepare mentally for Journey’s arrival. Having a child is…
Showered with Love
The last few days have been extremely eventful! Thursday was my 30th birthday, Friday was my baby shower at work and Saturday was my outside of work baby shower. These events offered the boost of energy I needed to propel me into the last month or so of pregnancy. Never in a million years did…
#TBT
Today I’m in a reflective mood which is fitting since today is Thursday, a perfect day for throwbacks from the past. I’m listening to Lauryn Hill’s “To Zion” about her pregnancy experience with her son and I think about my own experience so far…A nervous excitement. I remember the week I found out I might…
The Name Game
When you find out you’re pregnant, you can pretty much run down the list of questions people pose: When are you due? What are you having? Have you guys picked out names yet? So after our gender reveal last month, it’s time to answer the next question! It may or may not be surprising to…
Pregnancy is Weird
Image from http://www.thecolor.com I hate to write about mundane things that happen in my life, but last week I went to the dentist and I came to the realization that pregnancy is so weird! Everyone knows where babies come from and how they get here, but there are a lot of things that occur in…
