Maternity Leave

By Andrea | May 25, 2017 |

It’s almost June, which means that my maternity leave is quickly coming to a end.  I’m not sure how I feel about that yet.  I am looking forward to getting back to a more regular schedule, and being able to talk to adults about things that aren’t my tiny human.    During my leave, I…

Book It! – Birthday Books

By Andrea | April 24, 2017 |

My birthday is in April, so it’s usually a great month for books.  After all, what better excuse for a reader to pick up some new and beautiful books than her birthday?  I actually wasn’t given any books for my birthday this year- probably due to my lack of shelf space right now. But I…

Mildred turned 1 month old on Monday. It seems like we were just in the hospital with her a week ago, but that might just be because I’ve probably only gotten a week’s worth of sleep in the last month. I should probably just be glad that I’m not Milli. She’s been having tummy troubles…

By Andrea | March 21, 2017 |

What do you read to relax? I normally read Nancy Drew or Hardy Boys as a relaxing read before bed, but I’m running out of books I haven’t read for a while.  And with a brand new baby in the house, I am exhausted. But that doesn’t mean that I’m getting much sleep.  So, I’m…

Welcome Spot!

By Andrea | March 16, 2017 |

Today was supposed to be a post about my 37th week of pregnancy, however baby Turner, henceforth known as Mildred Jane, decided to show up early. My water broke about 8:45 on Thursday night, and Mildred was born on Friday morning.  And because everyone always wants to know, the official statistics were as follows: Mildred…
