Misadventures in becoming a stay-at-home Mama.
I finally realized trying to be a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, homemaker, professional marketer and creative spirit was just too much to juggle (successfully, anyways). My husband and I decided we would try to cut back, live simply and enjoy more time with our sweet baby girl. Admittedly, the first few months have been tough with our income cut in half and few freelance projects on the horizon. My plan is to document my adventures in making my dream a reality...the good, bad and funny.

Photo of the Day: Too Stinking Cute
Thanks Grannie for the new boy shirt. It looks fabulous with Lo's leggings and boots. The headband was just the girlie touch for my little tomboy.

Photo of the Day: For the Love of Books
Lo loves the library. We make weekly trips to the Killen library for playtime. They have story time every Friday at 10 a.m.

Scrub-A-Dub-Dub
I got called out on my lack of posting today, so I apologize AGAIN for my flighty post schedule.
We have our house on the market! It would be a dream come true to move closer to DaDa's work to cut his 3 hour daily commute. We are working hard to make that dream come true. Lo and I have been scrubbing the house from top to bottom to get it ready for showing. I clean and she messes mostly, but somehow we have managed to get it in tip-top shape. Our first showing is today.
LoLo is growing so fast. I am with her constantly and it still amazes me
how quickly she is becoming a little girl right before my eyes. She loves to cook, take care of her babies and play outside. Luckily the weather has kept cabin fever at bay this winter and we are super excited to see the first signs of spring. We took a trip to Funky Fairy Antiques in Killen and had a ball playing in the gardens and browsing the store. Not only do they have a store full of antiques and jewelry, they have an amazing variety of herbs and spices. Each bottle lists the uses for the herb and how to incorporate it into your diet. You can also have a specialty tea blended to your likings. Such a great Saturday activity.
For those of you that take the time to read my stuff, thank you! I never imagined that life without a corporate job would be so busy. I guess we are who we are and the work follows us wherever we go.
