Social Silence

This week I decided to take a social media break. I also gave up Netflix and Hulu too. I'll tell you...it was hard and frustrating at times, but now on the other side, it was great!

This week I managed to read 3 books, cook dinner every night, spend more time with my son, get better sleep, and actually wake up feeling rested. I was truly amazed! I highly recommend taking a social media break every once in a while. You'll be amazed how much you can actually accomplish when your eyes aren't trained on a phone!

Quiet Me Moment

A rare moment of calm and quiet. It's so important to take those moments when you can. You're kids are your everything but to give them a better you it's important to take care of yourself. Today I had an amazing morning playing with my husband and son. And now, while he's down for his nap (and on a side note, I have family who lives close and can babysit even on a Saturday when my husband is at work!) I'm have a Starbucks and a hair cut.

Mini Me

Today I realized that my son in my mini me! From the moment he was born he looked just like my husband. No I think my husband is very cute and so I was happy that he looked liked him. I mean you couldn't tell who's baby picture was who's! But deep down I wanted him to look a little like me. 

This morning my mom gave me a picture from my first birthday party, and when I looked at it, I saw my son's face! It made my day. He his an absolute blend of us both with a dash of all his own.

Pictures to come!

Birthdays

Today was my baby boys 1st birthday party. My moment came at 10:30. The party started at 11 and I felt an avalanche of emotion hit me. I felt that I had at least an hours worth of things left to do and I still had to run home and pick up my husband and the birthday boy. As I ran in the house my husband stopped me. He gave me a hug and said, "I love you, and no matter way, today will be wonderful. It doesn't have to be perfect to be a perfect day. "

In that moment I realized, one, how amazing my husband was, and two, how true those words were. I was able to take a breath and go hug my son. And you know what...it was a perfect day!

Happy birthday to my amazing little boy. I can't wait to experience all of life's moments with you!

Moments as a Mama

Every Mama has those moments. These are mine. Here's a little bit about me. I'm 30 years old. I just celebrated by 3rd anniversary with my hubby Ken and about a year ago we welcomed our son. I am also a full time, work outside the house, Mama. I have been though a lot this year learning how to be a wife, Mama, and myself. It's not easy, but I'm stumbling through it. These are my moments, the good, the bad, and the crazy!
