Growing like a weed!

So my little Harrison has done so many things within the last week:

~He got his first little tooth
~He is full blown crawling! And is in to everything!
~He pulls himself up on his feet. Holds on to furniture. Every time I get him up from his nap, there he is standing and waiting!
~He has always "talked", but lately he is a motor mouth. My personal favorite is "mamamama". I'd like to think that he is calling me mama!

California!

This past week we took quick trip to California for Brian's brother's wedding. It was so much fun. The weather was beautiful and things couldn't have been better. Okay, they could have. If only I wasn't miserable with a head cold. But other than that, it was all fabulous. The wedding was wonderful. I absolutely love weddings. They always remind me of my own wedding day and all of the moments I shared with Brian. I just love him so much.
To make the trip even better, Brian's mom took us all to Disneyland for a day. Harrison loved it. There was so much for him to take in! His favorite ride was Pirates of the Caribbean!
Here are just a few pictures you might enjoy!

Back to school

So I am heading back to school this semester. I am a little worried because it has been a while, but it's something I have to do. I am too far along to quit. So wish me luck!

Merry Christmas!

I have been loving this holiday season!! Here are just a few pictures that I hope you enjoy!

Sigh....

So writing is therapeutic, right? Well, here we go because I need therapy! I am struggling. I feel like I have post post post-partum depression or something! Let me know if any other stay at home moms have felt this way: You went from working at a job you were really good at, being praised and talking to a lot of different people to being at home all day- alone. You don't get acknowledged, you don't feel like you are doing anything right and you start to feel like you have no talents. Am I the only one who has struggled with this?

Don't get me wrong, I love being a mom. I really do. Harrison lights up my life. When he smiles, I just melt. And it's not everyday that I struggle, it comes and goes. I just feel like I need to know that this is normal, that others have been in the same boat. Please leave me a comment if you've ever felt this way!

Thanksgiving

Happy Late Thanksgiving!!

Domestic Diva

Lately I have been a little down on myself. I feel like I don't really have all that many talents and skills- other than being an excellent driver :). And I've always wanted to become a domestic diva- that woman who does it all- sews, cooks, cleans, makes her home a haven for her fabulous family all while being a total babe. I think we all know someone like that. And I got to thinking, she didn't get to be that way over night. She had to start somewhere, right? And if she could do it, I can do it! Thus begins my journey on becoming a domestic diva!

Stay tuned for posts on my adventures in discovering my inner potential and talents! I am going to try new things and find my niche!

Wish me luck!
