A journey through the wild ride of being a first time mother

You can read every book on the shelf about being a parent and what to expect with your new baby, but the only true preparation is experiencing it first hand.

Tis the Season

I am so excited for Christmas this year! I only have a few gifts left to get and then the wrapping begins.

Kendall now has a little better understanding of what Christmas is and she keeps asking when Jesus' birthday is going to be. My sister and I did all our decorating this weekend and we put a few presents under the tree.


I found this Santa printout on Pinterest and thought it would be the perfect thing for her to be able to do every morning. All you do is glue a cotton ball on Santa's beard for each day before Christmas. Its definitely simple enough for a 2 year old to be able to do on their own (with parent supervision of course).

We are a couple days behind on it, but i figured she wont know plus she will enjoy getting to put more then one on when we get home today.

She is so excited about all the decorations. She got special lights in her room that Auntie made her and she helped Grandpa put the Christmas lights up outside. 

Yesterday she got scratched by the cat. It was a huge ordeal even though it is something that happens quite often. She is OBSESSED with the cat. Kendall is a pretty horrible sleeper. She wakes up at least once a night and gets out of bed and is usually awake by 6:30 most mornings. Last week one day at about 3:30 AM she comes into my room and says "Mom, i found Tamale (the cat), I am petting her." Then "No Tamale don't come in here! Mom, I don't want her in here." 

She was pretty upset about being scratched so Grandpa took her to get a band aid and next thing you know she is coming down the hall in a sling made out of a pillowcase with a band aid on a scratch that barely exists.


She walked around with it on for about 45 minutes until it finally fell off. She still held her arm up and could barely stand to take a bath because it would hurt her owie.


She enjoyed getting to take a few days off from school and spend time at home but at the same time it is almost too much time at home and by last night she was ready to go back to daycare and to see her friends.

Happy Monday Friends!
