Fall, fun & Finding myself

Hello friends!

I just wanted to update you on the how I’m doing and what is up side of my life. I hope this finds you well and thriving!

Fall is upon us! Baby’s birthday & mine have passed, here are some family photos from the occasion

Savannah loved it when I lifted her up like this and plopped her down!
My mother in law gifted me with one of those crazy huge birthday signs and Savannah loved playing in it!
She’s so smiley!

It made quite the impression! A few of the neighbors even wished me a happy birthday!

I did a whole vlog on Savannah’s birthday!

Lately, for fun, I’ve been starting to get back into crafting- since fall and Christmas-themed crafts are my favorite ones to do! I started it off simple with a little bulletin board to get the ball rolling!

This is not the final place where this is going to live, but I am testing the string to make sure it will hold before I put it up high on a wall somewhere.

Next, I plan to make a Christmas wreath!

Fall is in full swing! Savannah is having the time of her life!

Grandma & Grandpa took the day off to take the baby to Jones Orchard

On a personal note, I’ve been spending a lot of time working on myself. I’m still working hard in therapy, and I recently started physical therapy for my neck and upper back & shoulders. Just working on a lot of stuff- still dealing with stuff about my dad, my grandma passed away in early September and of course, I continue to work on my anxiety. Recently, I’ve been having some trouble sleeping. Even with all that- I think my mental health is in a better place than it ever has been before and my anxiety levels are lower than usual. I am very proud of all the progress I’ve made this year. It’s a lot. I plan to talk about it more in the future, but that’s all I’ve got for now.

I hope you are having a wonderful day and look forward to hearing from you in the comments or on Twitter 🙂

Hello Spring

So excited for the great weather coming! The baby loves to walk outside, and I am enjoying seeing her become more and more independent.

Springtime means springtime crafts- it’s a hobby I rediscovered during quarantine. When I was a little girl, I used to love making little crafts, but never really did any DIYs as an adult. It turns out, I still really enjoy being creative and working with my hands. Here are a couple of things I’ve made so far this Spring.

Mostly greenery from Michaels, vase filler from Dollar Tree and the tiny bath tub is from Michaels too
Doesn’t look like it but this basket is a plastic one from Dollar Tree, I wrapped it in twine several times, then put basic cotton fabric from Walmart inside and over the sides, it is glued in place. Then I hot glued the twine with the little leafs on the edges to hide the fact that they’re not finished. Then, I used a tool to punch holes and fit grommets in the fabric and add the little “towels” label. Then I added the hand towels which are from Walmart. It’s actually in my bathroom, but I took a pic in the living room.
This is what I started with for the “Towels” basket- plus the fabric, not pictured
The bin is from Hobby Lobby, as well as the bunny. I used wooden letters from Dollar Tree that I painted pink. The greenery is a combination of Michaels, Dollar Tree and I think even some from Hobby Lobby.
Tiny watering can from Dollar Tree. I have a purple one too that I plan to something similar to. Mostly Michaels greenery.
This isn’t a craft. It’s just hot chocolate with bunny-shaped marshmallows I got from Target.

So, life is moving forward. I am getting ready to move. I will seriously miss my house, but we need more room, and the new neighborhood will be nice. I will share more once we close on the new house. I have even been thinking of making a comeback to YouTube 😯 just to share our new house/ adventures in mommy-hood.

She Has Arrived!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Princess Savannah has arrived!

I am so happy to announce the birth of my baby girl, Savannah! She was 7 pounds 3 ounces and 19 inches in height.

There will be so many pictures of her on here.

It was love at first sight, and even though pregnancy was no piece of cake, as soon as I saw her, I knew it was all worth it. She is a total sweetheart and is very well-tempered. She does keep us up at night, but she is still very young and is never colicky- she always knows what she wants. It’s just a matter of us knowing what she wants, but it’s usually one of two things, lol.

She doesn’t do much yet, she doesn’t even smile or make eye contact yet, but she reacts to our voices and she stops crying when we pick her up. She also has normal baby reflexes, like lifting her arms up randomly while she sleeps. My husband has dubbed this “The Bernie Sanders,” and thinks it’s adorable. My favorite thing that she does is the face she makes when she is trying to latch. It’s the most aggressive/ active thing that she does so I think it’s cute.

The grandparents are in love with her too, and they visit often. They also bring food, which is more than welcome. I recently celebrated my birthday and they’re taking her for the night tomorrow. My husband and I are looking forward to our date night!

That’s what I’ve got for now! Lots more picture to come 🙂

Thanks for reading!
