Happy Mother's Day (tomorrow!)

Happy Mother's Day to all those wonderful moms out there! I'm so so excited since it will be my first time celebrating it as a mother myself.

I'm expecting fireworks, balloons, a parade with a marching band, a field of flowers spelled out in mom...or if for some reason that's not possible, a card is good too. haha

But really, as excited as I am, I think simple is always better. I had gotten a birthday gift from Jordan last year that I absolutely looove! It would be a really thoughtful and easy gift idea for Mother's Day or even a birthday. 

He had given me a delicate gold necklace with a circle pendant on it. It was engraved with the letter 'A' and had Avairy's birthday on the back of it. I think this is such a beautiful and adorable gift. Then as you have more kids, you can add more pendants! 

You can find a bunch of these on etsy.com. Some engrave it for you or you can go to a personalizing store and get it done there.

In other news, I've been DYING without a normal computer! Aside from missing home, I miss designing graphics and editing pictures for the blog. I am surprised how much I am able to do from an iPad though!

Have a fun and cheery Mother's Day everyone!

  1. Happy mothers day! I actually came across your blog through your Instagram! I follow your sister and saw some of your pics and had to instantly follow you so I could gawk at pictures of your adorable baby girl!!! Love it all :) I'm also a new mom, still trying to figure it all out! I have a question for you.Do you have Avairy on a schedule or routine or do you follow her lead?My baby girl is 3 months and a week and I'm trying to figure out what works for us and feeling very lost! It'd be great to get the input of another mom out there!

    1. Thank you & congrats on the baby girl!

      When avairy was younger I fed her and put her down for naps when she needed it. Once she got older (probably around your daughter's age) I started to develop more of a routine. I started to feed her and put her to sleep around the same time everyday.
      Don't stress out too much if you miss a nap or late with a feeding

      Avairy is such an amazing sleeper now. She is so extremely easy to put down for a nap/bedtime and this is probably the biggest advice that I can give you that has proved to work for me: it's never too early to start a bedtime routine!

      and stick to it no matter where you are. even if its changing her into pjs or giving her a bath.

      now she knows when its dark out and shes in her pjs, its bedtime.

      I had wrote a blog post about this before, but decided to delete it for some reason. but i think im gonna post one again because i would love to help you out some more and get into full detail!
