The new "normal"


Pause Vector Icon, Pause, Music, Stop PNG and Vector with ...

The new "normal" looks quite different to all of us now huh? Some of us still heading out to work equipped with soap, hand sanitizer, maybe some with gloves,  all while making sure to keep our distance as best as we can. Others working from home for the first time ever trying to set up their day in an unfamiliar spot than their normal office work space. Parents trying their best to home school their kids, while juggling working from home OR just juggling every day life. Teachers scrambling to get work on-line for their students. Some simply finding themselves on pause with their jobs, faced with financial uncertainty.

We can no longer go to restaurants or the movies, we can't see our loved ones that don't live under our roof. Face-time has become something we do more often now  than ever for play dates, holidays and just to see our loved ones faces.

It's an intense time in all of our lives. The worry is heavy. The stats are high, the answers are low. We have to plug along as if things are okay. Will they be okay? How will we ever know?

It's a time in our lives that we will never forget. It's a time in our lives where we can make a difference by simply staying home.

It feels unreal and scary. But I have hope that not only will this get better but we will be better from it. I pray every night for my friends and family. I pray every night that the next sunrise brings an end to this....

Please be safe out there. Let's go down in history, doing the correct thing.

Lipstick messages

Yesterday was my birthday. Nothing fabulous. At this point of my age, it's just another year older. Nothing monumental, not a new decade, nothing to go crazy about.... But it got me thinking about when my sisters and I were younger, (and anyone else who may have lived here from time to time) my mom would write lipstick messages on our bathroom mirror. Most of the times it would say "Happy Birthday" to us. And if I was having a terrible week , it would be something encouraging like "I love you, have a great day." Well, I definitely miss my lipstick messages. I wish when they were written, we had Facebook or Instagram. What a cool thing to have captured. Here is a picture of what one may have looked like, not ours, but similar.

A room fit for a beatiful baby boy....

I wrote this post about a week before I had our son. I never posted it to my blog but wanted to share. It's almost been a month since baby B's arrival. Things are still a bit upside down over here, but boy are we in love !!!   It took a bit but it has all finally come together, I have some more final touches but not too much to go.  This is the most modern room in our home, even with it's vintage touches.  It took me a while to figure exactly which direction I wanted to go with in regards to decorating. Bedding was hard because I literally hated everything. I thought I found something on ETSY but once we found out it was a boy, I wanted something a little more boyish. The one thing that I can say always remained constant regardless of the sex of the baby or style of the room,  was the Jenny Lind crib. It's my favorite. Once I figured out what colorings I wanted for the room, I knew the black was the right choice. So here is the breakdown of some things. As I me

My pregnancy and birth story

  As I mentioned in my last post my pregnancy was very long. 10 months to be exact ! But in all seriousness it was the hardest thing, by far, that I've done. I was never comfortable, I was never over the moon excited because I was scared. Scared straight.   Mr. B & I were very lucky, we only tried for three months before we got pregnant. We knew that we wanted to try in the new year of 2012. I was finished with school and ready for the next chapter in our lives. I was actually over ready. I couldn't wait to be pregnant, be a mom, and see Mr. B be a dad. My pregnancy started out just like everyone elses I assume, calm? I tested five days before I was due to get my period. I remember I had gotten the stomach bug that was going around last year and the Monday I tested, I was still off from work because of it. I texted my sister asking if she thought it was too early to test, she said no... so off I went to test. It came up with a faint line of a yes and I immediately t
