A blog about navigating mommyhood with a daughter and one on the way!
I hope everyone had a magical Halloween! This was Natalie's 2nd Halloween but it was almost as if it were her first because last year she was only 6 months. I knew I wanted to dress her as Harry Potter and we practiced saying his names about 100 times. She actually wore her glasses for …
We went to New Hampshire this past weekend and had an amazing time! Natalie slept almost the whole way there (YAY) and was so excited when we finally got to our family home. She was excited just to run around the yard and get out all her energy. The foliage was absolutely beautiful up there …
Natalie's been in daycare since she was three months old but almost everyday I struggle with dropping her off and going to work. She absolutely loves daycare but I wish she didn't have to go everyday. I'm not so secretly jealous of those who get to stay home or at least be home a few …
This weekend we visited a local farm where we went apple and pumpkin picking! Natalie loves apple picking and I think a lot of it has to do with her love of eating apples. She was so excited to venture in the pumpkin patch and kept yelling "pupins pupins" . I can't wait until we …
Some toddlers are great eaters! Natalie is not one of them... I feel like at times I have to chase her around the room with dinner, begging her just to have one bite. After her 5th refusal, I end up making her a peanut butter sandwich or a bowl of cereal just so I know …
I can't believe my baby is a year and a half! Everyday time hop will remind me how little she was and how grown up she looks now! Her hair is now long enough to put in a bun or pony tail and I swear she goes from a year and a half to 5 …
It is now officially Fall! Although temperatures here in the 70s and 80s, we are still enjoying some of our fall favorites. This past weekend, we went apple picking, made chili, and caramel apple pie which was amazing (see recipe below!). Natalie had so much fun picking apples and running around the orchard. After we …
When Natalie was 6 months old, we decided to enroll her in swim lessons at our local Y. The session was 6 weeks and she loved every single minute. Fast forward a year and we decided we should enroll her in swim lessons again. Sunday was our first swim lesson and she was NOT a …
It's a GIRL! Baby number 2 is a girl! We are so excited for Natalie to have a baby sister. I always wanted a sister growing up and I'm happy that she will get that experience. I kind of had a feeling it was a girl from the morning all day sickness I had for …
At the end of July, Andrew and I were so happy to find out we were pregnant with baby #2! Once the blood test confirmed it, I surprised him by getting cupcakes from a local bakery and having them write out "We are Pregnant!". I couldn't wait for our first appointment to find out the …
