I really cannot believe it’s the last day of November. Shep is almost 6 months old and this year is almost over. It’s wild! As much as I want the infant stage to speed up, I also want the holiday time to go slowly and have us be intentional about cherishing it. It really is the best time of the year!

The Last…
It’s starting to feel like it’s really fall time now, especially now that September is over and tomorrow starts October. Here are my ‘lasts’ of September… Happy fall! What are your lasts?
Current Catchphrase
I know some of us have a word for the year. Something that calls to us or something to focus our intentions on. You can read about my word for the year here. While I like having that specific word, after having Shep, I’ve also been drawn to a specific phrase: Just try Baby didn’t …
Four Weeks With Shep
Shepherd James Bell, SJB, has been with us now for four weeks! To say it’s been a whirlwind would be an understatement. Lots of days have been trying and have resulted in lost patience or frustration or overwhelming anxiety. I’ve had my share of sob sessions. Some for good reasons, some probably for no reason …

We’ve evaluated our lives and then reevaluated them. Tried to figure out what the eff is happening. Who we are and what was going on. It truly was a year unlike any other I’ve seen (and hopefully ever see again).

It’s been too long since I’ve done one of these. My apologies! Here’s to the last few days of October! Happy Halloween weekend! What are your lasts?

It’s gonna be May (in my NSYNC voice)…so here’s my ‘lasts’ of April. What are your lasts?

It’s the last day of the month, of the year, of the decade and here is my last post! Happy almost 2020! What are your lasts?
Goodbye 2019
My word of 2019 was discovery and I wrote a post about it that you can find here. When I started the year and wrote that post I was focused on discovering a new world of being a mom and balancing it all.

Yes, I discovered things but not in the way I had wanted.
