Friday!

Hooray Hooray for Friday!

This has been one crazy week in this house.
I'm still totally adjusting to life with two kiddos.  
I feel like in many ways I take one step forward and two steps back at times.

For instance, I'm so happy that my little Hazelnut is becoming a better napper.  I am able to simply rock her for a few minutes then lay her in her crib and she soothes herself to sleep all on her own.  This is such a biiiiiig step in the right direction!  Definitely my one step forward moment.

For my one step back however, my toddler has quickly figured out that while I'm getting Hazel down for her nap it's a great window of opportunity to get into all types of mischief.


That mess may or may not have stayed on the floor for a full hour before I got around to cleaning it.  Just sayin.





One thing I do know that is currently really working for our family is our bath time situation.

There for a while Jesse was washing Lyla in the tub and I was washing Hazel on the bathroom sink counter in her baby bath.  Bath time is one of my favorite times and it's important to me to have the girls share this time together (and go to bed around the same time).  For both sentimental and sanity reasons.

But what we were doing just was not working and was a little more of a hectic and crowded time than I wanted.

So in comes my FAVORITE bath time product:


This Angel Care bath support is the perfect solution for having the girls share a bath.

I would honestly even recommend it for families with one baby simply for how small and streamlined the product is.  And it has a little hook so you could even hang it up to dry and store!  Brilliant.


We've been using it for a few days now and I'm really digging the new routine.  
Lyla loves having her sissy in the bath with her and Hazel loves watching her sissy play in the water.


So that's my little friday favorite.
Now I'm off to some quick bath shower time for myself while they girls are both sleeping!

The Day I Quit Blogging

It's been a really long time since I've done a blog post.
And by a long time I mean nine whole months.

{creepily 9 months on the dot almost!}




There really wasn't a moment I decided to stop blogging.
In fact, I have a lot of posts saved as drafts that I just never finished.

Maybe I just got to busy.
Maybe I just kept putting it off for tomorrow.
Maybe I got discouraged thinking that my time posting was a waste.
Maybe Maybe Maybe.




If I was to be honest it was a combination of everything.


I started this blog as a way to track my pregnancy.
Did the popular copy cat formula straight from Jessica Garvin's blog.



After Lyla was born I liked writing about our little adventures and documenting Lyla's monthly updates.
I had a lot of fun writing them and I look back with great joy that I documented so much of our lives.

Jesse get's on me all the time about Lyla's barely filled out baby book and I always defend myself by saying I have everything written on my blog!



So here we are. 
A full year later.

So many adventures.
So many changes.
So many memories.


We have a toddler now.  A full blown wild child.


And we have a baby.  A precious almost three month old baby.


I cannot believe I haven't been documenting so many moments along the way!


So back to blogging I go.
Will it be amazing?  Probably not.
Will many people be reading these posts? I highly doubt it.
Will there be a bazillion grammatical errors? Oh, you can count on it.


Our own little niche of life is back in print again ;)
