My Goofball

I have so many funny pictures of Jellybean being the silly little boy he is meant to be. I love his sweet, affectionate, determined, GOOFY personality. He really is turning into his dad's mini me.

My Six Month Old Baby

Where has the time gone?  SIX MONTHS? Are you kidding me? It's been a half a year already? Is it sad that I'm already bummed that I have  17.5 years left until he's out of the house and on his own? Matt says I spend too much time focusing on the future and not enough time in the now- that's pretty accurate. Even though time seems to have flown by, I have a difficult time imagining a life without him. Motherhood fills a hole I didn't know I had, fulfills a dream I wasn't aware of, and brings a joy my heart had no idea ever existed.  Every month we take a picture next to this bear from Brittany. The hat she found on Etsy to go with my vintage aviator theme. I found these monthly stickers on Amazon- thanks again to Pinterest for the idea!  At six months Jellybean in an excellent....tummy timer. He can sit up on his own just fine, but this kid of mine HATES it. He will lean back, lay down, and roll over. If there's something providing back support, h...

Career or Stay at Home?

Finding the Balance I'll be the first to admit that I have a shopping addiction. I like *things* and nice things to be exact. My favorite stores are Nordstrom and J.Crew, and yes, I'm a brand snob. I don't know how I got that way because by no means did I grow up privileged. But, I worked hard, got a full ride scholarship through the military, graduated with a Bachelor's and a commission, and continue to work to build a comfortable life for myself and now my family. The point in all this? I, like many out there, need money! But now that Jellybean is in the picture, I struggle with finding the balance between working to maintain our lifestyle and spending good quality time with my son.  The Air Force gives you 6 weeks of  maternity leave and you're free to add your own leave on top of that. Since I delivered Jellybean so close to my moving date, I basically didn't work between April and mid June. During that time, it was just the two of us all day every day...

A Vintage Airplane Baby Shower

Friends From All Over   I grew up in Washington State. My first assignment was in Arizona, followed by Texas, and now I'm in Virginia. During that time, I've travelled to many places, met many people, and as a result, have friends all over the country. When it came time for my baby shower, I realized just how blessed I was when I took a moment to consider where my sweet girlfriends were flying/driving in from. Washington, Arizona, Florida, Alabama, New Mexico, and my girls living with me in Texas. They came just for a weekend, to celebrate our first baby. Yes I say OUR. These girls are my sisters, and as the first of my closest friends to have a baby, we're sharing this experience of many firsts together!  Trudi and I have known each other since 7th grade. She is definitely one of my oldest friends!  Ingrid (left),  I first met in college, even though she went to FSU and I went to UW. Amanda (middle) went to UW with me. Christina (right) I actually ju...
