Finnegan’s First Year Photo Project : Week One
So, I have another baby and as of Saturday, he’s a whole week old. We’re pretty enamored with him. He’s wonderfully chill and easy (especially compared to what a total asshole his sister was when she was a newborn). Like I did with Melanie, I’ll be doing a little photo project for his first year with monthly photos and a brief rundown of what’s happening in his little world (I’m sharing this in a format that I plan on using in a photo book featuring his first year):
7 Days in Santa Fe : The Perfect Pieces for a Versatile Honeymoon Wardrobe
One of the hardest parts about planning the honeymoon can be figuring out what the hell you’re going to pack! Often, you’ve never been to the location that you’ll be ‘mooning at and it can be tempting to over plan and over pack. Don’t do it! Save your money and save your sanity by pre-planning your wardrobe and packing a few versatile pieces (thus, saving precious space for shopping!). Here’s my tips and suggestions on packing for 7 days in Santa Fe:
The 10 People You Meet At Library Storytime
I’ve been lucky enough for the last year to be able to snag the car from my husband (we’re a one car family) once a week so I can take my daughter to storytime at our local library. Since it’s literally the only time she gets to socialize with other children during the week, I’ve worked really hard to be sure and get us there no matter what. Sure, she sucks at sitting still and listening (and frequently stand RIGHT IN FRONT of the book being read) but she’s definitely grown and gotten better at participating. I do love seeing her enjoy the new books and playing with toys but, I gotta tell ya, as a total introvert, I’m totally over being there with other parents. I KNOW! I’m an asshole. But listen, they’re all there and have all these different personalities and, for my social anxious ass, it’s super overwhelming. And they all basically fall into the same groups, or, as I like to call it – the 10 people you meet at library storytime:
Welcome To The World, James Finnegan!
We were pretty busy this past weekend. We welcomed our second child into the world at 3:23 AM on Saturday, August 13, 2016. James Finnegan (or Finn, as we’re calling him) was born at 20.5″ and 8 lbs, 6oz. He’s got ginger hair and looks just like his Daddy. We’re delighted beyond belief!
The Best Investment You Can Make As A Second Time Parent Is The Evenflo Sibby Travel System and the Ride-Along Board
I’m about to become a two-time parent and with it came a HUGE issue that I hadn’t anticipated. How am I supposed to safely wrangle and transport a newborn and a rambunctious 3 year old around San Antonio (and on future road trips and vacations)? As many of you know, my daughter is not a quiet, sit in a stroller seat kinda kid. She’s more of a let’s-see-how-fast-and-far-I-can-run-away kid. We’ve been using a leash (and 100% happy with that decision) but really did somewhere for her to relax when we went out for a long day at the rodeo or park. And it also needed to accommodate her new brother and his growing needs. Luckily, I realized that the best investment you can make as a second time parent is the Evenflo Sibby Travel System and the Ride-Along Board.
