Five things I discovered after having bigSIS and lilBRO… 1. Getting back to your pre-pregnancy weight does not also mean your pre-pregnancy pants will fit. Things shift. If you’re lucky, they’ll shift back within 9 months or so. 2. At about 12 weeks postpartum, your hair may start falling out. Like, a lot. 3. The [...]

Steppin’ Out with My Babies
Posted in girlLIVES, tagged motherhood, working mother on January 29, 2012 | 8 Comments »
This is the week I go back to work. I’m sad. I’m anxious. Actually, I feel exactly like I did last time. But this time, even though I’m going through the same emotions, something is different. I’ve been around this block before. Will there be tears? Of course. Will we be fine? No. We’ll be better [...]
Chalkboard Paint Makeover
Posted in girlLIVES, tagged DIY, Krylon Chalkboard Paint on January 11, 2012 | 8 Comments »
Today I have a fun {easy} project to share – chalkboard painted wine glasses! I first saw this idea on Pinterest. Where else, right? I knew it would make the perfect Christmas gift, so I went right to Michael’s and {using my 50% off coupon} bought Krylon Chalkboard Spray Paint. This was seriously so simple! [...]
Have a Happy 2012 {Goal Planning Printable}
Posted in girlLIVES, tagged goals, New Year on December 29, 2011 | 5 Comments »
So, here’s the deal. This week I planned to write all about setting goals and making plans to reach those goals. The trouble is, I’ve been too busy enjoying my family {a two-year old who is discovering rock ‘n roll and a seven-week old sweetie who needs someone to watch him smile and coo!} to [...]
It’s Potty Time!
Posted in girlLIVES on December 8, 2011 | 1 Comment »
My life has been all about the potty lately. Mostly about ”putting our pee pee in the potty.” Oh, and getting sprayed by rogue baby pee. Fun times. If you find yourself in the same boat as me, here’s a treat for you. (And if you don’t, lucky you!) A fancy, schmancy {designed-in-a-jiffy} potty chart. We like to add [...]
Why I Write it Down
Posted in girlLIVES, tagged journal, motherhood on November 29, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
One of the reasons I journal {and write this blog} is to revisit recent history to remember how things happened. Today I did just that. And you know what I discovered? This happened the last time I had a baby, too. I don’t know about you, but I can’t remember what I had for dinner last [...]
This Girl is Grateful
Posted in Girl is Grateful, girlLIVES, tagged Thanksgiving on November 24, 2011 | 1 Comment »
It’s Thanksgiving once again! To celebrate, here’s a list of what I’m most thankful for this year… It’s the small things in life, like… Post pregnancy nails (yes, they’re healthier when I’m not pregnant!) Glitter nail polish (what? Yeah, I admit it. And look at what I found.) Diet Coke (Enough said.) Holiday scents like [...]
Happy October 31st

I’ve never been big on Halloween, but this year theBABY dressed up like a cupcake – a costume she picked out herself in all her I’m-not-even-two-and-I-already-have-an-opinion-about-most-things glory. We took her trick-or-treating on Saturday, and I spotted this pumpkin. Too cute. Had to share! Happy Halloween. I’m still pregnant and hoping the baby comes soon…just not [...]
