Summer is trickling by way too fast
Ahhhh I feel so well rested today since I didn't work last night. Feels so much better than yesterday morning when I had to wake up after 3 hours of sleep. For some reason, now that Miles is slee...
Miles at 12 months
Babies are so cute right at the 12 month mark! I am really enjoying this age. I love the little curls Miles has in front. Cody didn't have those so I wonder if he's eventually going to have curly...
This and that
The kids and I didn't do much today after our busy weekend in the falls. Cody was soooo cranky for 3/4 of the day probably because he didn't nap well on the weekend and it was seriously driving m...
Baby meetups and Niagara falls
So my mom and I went to a big baby meetup on Friday. Basically I have had a facebook group with these ladies in it since we all first got pregnant. So all of their babies are also 1 or about to t...
Happy birthday to Miles :)
My little baby is 1 today! It seems crazy to think that a year ago today I went into the hospital for my scheduled c section and in no time he was here. I can remember it all quite clearly. How s...
Potties and preschool
My mom came to visit today :) She's staying until Friday. She decided to come to help me out with the boys for a couple of mornings since she knows I'm just getting used to working again. She cam...
Awesome husband day!
So I survived my first night back at work last night. It was rough though. The last hour was tough. I was so wanting to put my head down for a bit but I knew that would be bad news lol. My last h...
So...damn....tired
I'm back at work. After a year off it seems so weird to have to come here again. And totally, completely sucks. I would love to be a stay at home mom sooooooooo much!! But we can't afford it :( L...
More birthday stuff
Sometimes during the week when the kids are driving me crazy or Miles won't stop crying or wanting to be held I throw them in the van and we go out to run errands. They're almost always good when...
Fitbit
I got my fitbit flex yesterday afternoon! It's so fun :) I started using it in the afternoon with the goal of 10,000 steps by bed time. I took the kids on a long walk to a far away park which hel...
Frustrations
Even though I lost all my baby weight I seriously hate how my stomach looks right now. I don't get how it is still so big! When I had Miles I was 227lbs (omg right?) and now I am 165lbs and yet m...
Summer colds suck
This cold I have is so annoying. I sneezed like 100 times yesterday and went through a box and a half of kleenex. Ugh. Stupid nose is dripping like a faucet. Plus I am constantly running around w...
Birthday meltdowns
Wow that was a quick 2 days! We are headed home from my parents now. I love how Mike prefers to drive when we go out as a family because I much prefer to be a passenger on a long trip and read a ...
Trapped
Been stuck in the car with Mike and the kids for the last 3 hrs. Ugh. We are on the way to see my parents for the weekend but everyone else is headed up north too apparently because we keep endin...
Construction and birthdays
The condo where my parents are going to be living next fall is being built behind our townhouse right now. The noise is kind of annoying but the kids sleep through it no problem so it doesn't bot...
Cody is 3!
So somehow my sweet little boy is 3 today. He really is sweet too. He loves cuddling with me still and I treasure those times. He cuddles with Mike much less but Mike loves it when he does, mostl...

Miles
Miles is going to be one in a few weeks! Crazy! It's been a pretty difficult year for sure with him screaming most of the time while nursing for his first 5 months, his extreme clingyness, how he...
Brilliant!
It's hard not to believe in fate sometimes. Like today. I'm sitting here thinking what the heck are we going to get Cody for his birthday? He has so many toys they flood the family room and we ha...
Feeling very fortunate
We were figuring out how much we will need to save for our trip to Florida in February and on top of my parents offering to pay for half the cost of the flight and all of our hotel bill my MIL ju...
Cody's speech therapy
Cody has had 5 sessions with his speech therapist so far and he probably knows about 35 words by now. When he started going a couple months ago he knew 10. So I do think it is helping even though...
Mini vacation away from home
Miles just started army crawling on Monday and he has been using up so much energy getting around that he is no longer waking up at 6:30am. It's 8am right now and he is still sleeping! Now if onl...
Sweet summer days
The kids were wonderful at Wonderland the other day thank goodness. Cody had so much fun running from ride to ride in kiddy land and dragging each of us on them over and over. I love seeing him t...
Nursing troubles
So my difficult child is still not nursing. Wtf eh? It's been 8 days now. He screams when I even take my boob out to attempt to feed him which is not really the reaction you want from anyone when...
Nursing strike :(
On Wednesday I was nursing Miles and his really sharp 8th tooth coming in was really hurting me whenever I nursed him. It's a top tooth. I jumped while nursing him because the tooth sunk into my ...
Book Description
My name is Sarah. I’ve been married since Sept 2010. I have 2 boys and a girl :) Cody was born July 23, 2011, Miles on August 8, 2013 and Summer on April 13, 2016. I am off on maternity leave until my 3rd is a year old. It’s a busy life but having children has always been my dream. Pretty sure we’re done at 3 kids cuz it is a LOT of work and money to have this many kids but I would love to just keep having kids Duggar style because I love babies and children so much! And as much as they can drive me craaaaaazy there’s nothing I love more than staying home with them. I wish I didn’t have to ever go back to work but my husband doesn’t make enough for me to do that unfortunately. Otherwise I’d gladly be that wife who cleans her house and has snacks and a yummy dinner for my family when they get home at the end of the day.
There are many things I love including all things Harry Potter, theme parks, Florida, knitting, reading a variety of types of books like young adult fiction, biographies of interesting people, regular fiction and some self help books. I also enjoy baking, watching movies and most of all chocolate!!
I’m often losing weight because I’m one of those people who go up and down on the scale a bit despite my best efforts. I’m updating this as of Aug 16/16 and right now I’m trying to lose my baby weight from my current baby who is 4 months old.
