Saint of the Day



Twenty-seven...




Since it is my 27th birthday today, I decided to look back on all the blessings I have to be thankful for:

  • My incredible parents who have sacrificed so much for me

  • My wonderful and loving younger three sisters
  • My entire extended family

  • My friends, near and far

  • My good health

  • My faith and upbringing in the Church

  • My education

  • My talents

  • My travels, including Mexico, Scotland and Ireland

  • My caring and handsome husband

  • My beautiful baby girl, Angelica Rose

  • My freedom

  • My life...

I am so fortunate to have all these blessing over the past twenty-seven years and I hope there are many more to come...

Baby socks...

We spent most of the day putting Angelica's missing socks back on and back on...what a fun cycle!! Maybe I am missing something...any tricks to keep baby socks on baby feet?

Migraines...

Today I have struggled with a migraine that will not go away and makes me queasy. I have only been taking Tylenol as I know that is safe while breastfeeding. Any other tips for remedies?

Pretty Girl...

Sleeping like a baby...?

Last night between midnight and two am, I had some time to think while I was trying to get a teething baby to go to sleep. As I sat there rocking her, these tiny little fingers were pinching the skin of my neck and these big blue eyes were staring at me intently. As much as my body would have loved to be sleeping under my covers, I realized how much I will miss this when she is too big to hold and rock. I am her world right now and no matter the hour of the night, love to hold her and make her feel safe. Although, as I listen to my snoring husband down the hall I begin to think that the person who started the phrase, "sleeping like a baby" had it all wrong. Lately in our little home, it has been "sleeping like my husband." He is missing all the midnight fun!
