Birth Story: Take 2

Image
By
I wrote a birth story a week or so after Isis was born, but I was deep in the middle of the baby blues & maybe you can’t tell when you read it, but I really can. I was still pretty much in shock by the new direction my life had taken & the hormones just doing their own thing in my body. Now that I can look back on that time with some perspective & still remember the details, I wanted to share it again.
 
I decided to share it over at Unexpectant because I really like what she's doing on her blog - sharing birth stories &  the journeys of motherhood. Please go check out my post!

Also, get ready for my week of guest bloggers sharing their birth stories August 2-6!! The following lovely ladies are going to be sharing that week:

Vanessa, my oldest, was 6 months old and I was still in shock that I was a mom. And still scared that I was a mom. We all go through it in our own way. But, look at me now, I've got 4!

AWWW! I love birth stories... Iw as out for coffee with some of my friends the other night and we got talking...made the poor guy at the next table so uncomfortable he went outside...in the 90 degree heat! Whoops! I wonder though if when I'll get tired of sharing...my kids are 6 and 7 and I feel like I'll still be loving sharing when I'm sending them off to college...hasn't gotten old yet!

10 on Tuesday: 10 Favorite 6 Month Pics

By
This is completely gratuitous, just me posting pictures of Isis, but my friend Hannah took some pictures of our family yesterday! She is such a great photographer & she is also going to be watching Isis for me in the fall when I start my student teaching. I feel so blessed to have her as a friend on top of the fact that she takes gorgeous pictures of Isis!! I also realized that I didn't put any of the ones where she is smiling in this post. This just means I'll have to post more another time! Get excited! (And this is not a great comment-grabbing post , but who cares? This is for the digital baby book!)

This is technically a 10 on Tuesday , but the idea is from Mama Kat's Writer's Workshop ! 10 of My Worst Pet Peeves 1. People who don't wash their hands - especially after going to the bathroom.

When people sing the harmony part with a song on the radio 7. People who are trying to turn in a non-turn lane - or people who wait until the last second to get in the turn lane 8. People who speak excessively loud in normal conversation 9. Picky eaters 10. Drivers who change lanes every 4 seconds What are your 10 Pet Peeves? Read more of my 10 on Tuesdays

Stitch Fix: July 2015

By
This was probably my absolute favorite Stitch Fix box so far!! Unfortunately, when I scheduled it, I didn't anticipate the amount of money I would have to spend on back to school stuff for Isis. I took her shopping for new Kindergarten clothes & that kinda blew my budget in terms of purchasing clothes for myself. So I had to get super specific about what I wanted to keep & what I didn't....which STUNK SO BAD because this was the first time I wanted to keep all 5 items!!!!! Such a bummer. Oh well, here's the breakdown... First of all, I had asked specifically for work pants that I could wear as a teacher that weren't jeans, but were super comfortable. I also asked for a cardigan & a jacket that I could wear into the fall. My stylist, Amy, clearly checked out my Pinterest board & read my requests because she picked things that looked exactly like me. I absolutely loved this jacket. I had asked for a jacket & here was a perfect, slightly boho k...
