Crazy stuff always happens to me. Especially if it is embarressing. Yep…. So, because I can think of nothing to really blog about, I thought I’d tell a funny story of something that recently happened. Setting, Minden, Lousiana. Wal-Mart Parking lot. One sunny day, I drove to Wal-Mart, without my tiny tot, to pick upContinueContinue reading “Oops!”

I am so gosh darn sick of people telling me that Isabela being home with me all day is NOT healthy.Really? Really? Especially people in my own family. Not that they are people who I admire as parents, but thats a whole other story. Just in case anyone has forgotten, Isabela turns 2 in April.ContinueContinue reading “Vent, extra long”

And today, it must be a record high of around 60 degrees.I tell you. No one can truly appreciate the sunContinueContinue reading “Here comes the sun”

First, let me say thank you. To everyone who emailed me, facebooked me, texted me, called me, prayed for me, cried with me – thank you! I don’t think I ever really realized how many people love and care for me until just recently. I am genuinely overwhelmed with love. I am so grateful. IContinueContinue reading “Gratitude”

When we found out we were pregnant with Isabela, well, it was simply amazing. After months of trying and negative tests, I finally saw 2 pink lines! The joy I felt was indescribable. For the rest of the 9 months, every day I would devote myself to reading and learning about this growing miracle insideContinueContinue reading “Angel Baby”

Isabela is napping, and I’m sitting down to blog. All these thoughts are going through my head, like: I should be picking up this mess of a house Isabela created, I should be starting dinner, I should be folding laundry, I should be catching up on phone calls/emails…..etc.Looking around, I see almost all my kitchenContinueContinue reading “New Baby love”
