Happy New Year

This year has been a whirlwind. Here is a list of a few random things I’ve learned, experienced, and captured in the book of 2011 that will be placed on the shelf of my memory. Happy New Year, Everyone!


-Blonde hair , short hair, Long Hair, Brown hair- My hair styles in one year alone could be a Dr. Seuss book.

-Sometimes the best things in life come in big packages…like 9 lb 10 oz packages.

-Going to the beach while pregnant really is the best way to go. You can eat as much as you want because your maternity bathing suit and baby are your ticket to not having to suck anything in.

-Good things come to those who wait. ..especially when the wait is long and painful.

-Season changes with weather often leave me with wardrobe variety and allergies. Season changes in life leave me with new friends, new beginnings, and spiritual growth.


-Only the cuteness of your child can overcome the trifecta of being peed, pooped, and puked on in a matter of hours.

-The Epidural- Best. Invention. Ever.

-Every parent of an infant needs a ceiling fan. If you have had an infant, you know why.

-A husband that will get up during midnight feedings with you is a keeper. One that cracks jokes and makes fun of you while you’re working the breast pump at 2 AM…even better.

-Peeling potatoes, spreading homemade pizza dough, and cleaning a lasagna pan that that did not get sprayed with oil- The 3 most annoying kitchen related activities known to man.

-I should NEVER watch shows about UFO sightings or hear ghost stories right before my husband goes on a business trip.

-Yelling at a computer printer doesn’t help it unjam.

-Sugar Feet, Princess, and Kiddo- The three favorite names I’ve been called by grocery store cashiers

-Never underestimate the value of a delivered meal to a family with a newborn.

-A few toothless smiles cover a multitude of sleepless nights

-Pintrest is dangerous thing for my “Can you make me this” list for my super creative husband

-Time flies when you are having fun so try your best to savor the moments while you’re in them!
