1. I wanted to pop in yesterday for a What I Ate Wednesday post (I even photographed all my meals Tuesday—except for dinner), but since I got home late Tuesday (visiting my mom in the hospital after her surgery) and yesterday (Baby M’s 9-month well check), I just didn’t feel like staring at the computer again. So…

Thinking Out Loud: Mommy Guilt
Let’s have some real talk today. As Baby M approaches his 9 month birthday this Saturday, I’ve been reflecting on my new life as “mommy.” Motherhood is more rewarding and fulfilling than I ever imagined. On days where I’m exhausted from late nights or stressed from a busy week at work, nothing makes me feel…
Thoughts on Self Image
The other day I was scrolling through the hundreds of photos on my phone of Baby M, and I thought to myself, “Gosh, this baby is beautiful. He is absolute perfection.” I know I’m not the only mother in the world who’s thought that. In fact, I hope every mother feels that way about her…
How I know I’m a mother…
Some days, it still doesn’t seem real that Baby M is my child—whom I created (well, with a little help from my husband), nurtured for 9 months, and birthed. Other times, I can’t imagine my life before he came into the world. Motherhood is unpredictable, wild, and frustrating at times, but it’s an absolutely exhilarating…
Thursday Thoughts – 12.04.14
Hey there! The baby is chilling in his swing while I’m finishing up breakfast, so I thought I’d pop in for some Thinking Out Loud this fine Thursday. 1. How is it already December? Everybody says it every year, but come on! This year is flying by. My pregnancy flew by, and now Baby M…
Thinking Out Loud + Thankful Thursday
Happy Thursday, friends! What is it about a short week that makes me anticipate the weekend even more than usual? Whatever it is, I’m excited to have a short Thursday (well, I’m working just half a day, but I have a busy schedule after: lunch with Mark, tour of the maternity ward, 34 week doctor’s…
Thinking Out Loud 08.07.14
Hi, friends! Today I’m linking up with Amanda at Running With Spoons for some Thinking Out Loud. 1. I had big plans for a blog post yesterday—and they fell through (story of my life). You know how seemingly every day is a food holiday? Well, yesterday was National Root Beer Float Day, and I was…
Thinking Out Loud 05.15.14
Happy Thinking Out Loud Thursday! No attempts at witty lead-ins today, I’m just getting right down to the randomness… 1. I’m being crazy ambitious today and posting twice. Well, if you want to get technical, then this morning’s recipe post was actually posted last night and scheduled for today, but you know what I mean……
Thinking Out Loud 03.27.14
Hello, there! Today I’m popping in for a quick “hello” via the lovely Spoons’ Thinking Out Loud link-up. 1. Can spring just stay around for a while? One week it’s gloriously warm and sunny, the next, it’s snowing a few hours north. I live in Alabama, and when I have to scrape ice off my…
Thinking Out Loud #9
1. I’ve lied yet again. I promised a return to blogging, and I haven’t exactly delivered. At least I’m joining the lovely Amanda’s link-up today, right? Seriously, though, blogging is often incredibly therapeutic for me, and other times, it’s a fun challenge. But the last few weeks, it’s just been the last thing on my…
