My Life

This will be my 17-month-old daughter Ava's second Christmas. Last year, Ava was 5-months-old, so she had no clue what was going on. I 'helped' her open her presents and like most parents dressed her up to look cute as possible! …

My 15-month old daughter, Ava had her first tooth pop up at 11 months and didn't really seem to make a difference in her baby world. We barely experienced any crying and no fevers, she just had a harder time falling asleep. So, after…

Over the past decade folks have started  to recognize that stay-at-home mom's are workers too! Once the glue of the family was deemed as jobless and lazy, but that is a thing of the past. Today's stay-at-home mom is empowered and is…

Free time basically went out the window after having my four-month-old daughter, Ava. Not only am I  a stay-at-home mom, but a professional blogger. I love my daughter, but I also have to have time do work.   Balancing being a…

Last week, Ava turned three-months-old!  Time certainly does fly! I was looking at pictures of her at birth and she doesn't even look like the same baby! It's incredible how fast babies progress and change. I'd like to say the third month…

Time really does fly by! Ava turned two months old last week.  At birth she weighed 5 pounds 13 ounces and now she is 9 pounds 4 ounces. I love that she is bigger because it was a real challenge to find clothes that would fit her in…

My little Ava is three-weeks-old! Life certainly changes after you have a baby! The emotions I feel getting to know and take of her are indescribable.  It's everything I dreamed of and more.  I love learning how to take care of her and…
