Reflections and planning
I went to that sale at Sobey's yesterday morning (50% off the entire store because they're closing) but the place was pretty empty. It was so creepy seeing a store that empty. It felt like shoppi...
...and then the cops showed up
I forgot to mention it here but one day last week at around 5:30pm all 4 of us were on the couch when Miles grabbed my phone (which I swear was locked) and pressed a button that dialed 911. I was...
African Lion Safari
When you're old like me (lol) and a mom you get excited about weird things. Like this morning I am excited to go to a Sobey's nearby that is closing because everything in the store is 50% off. Si...
Off to a fun day!
6 weeks today until I am back to work. I am trying to enjoy the time I have left and ignore the countdown in the back of my head but it's hard. The boys' birthdays are coming up (July 23 and Au...
Planning for Florida
Even though we don't have a lot of money left over after all the bills are paid, we are saving to go to Florida in February since my parents will be there and we are dying to go to some theme par...
Summer = happiness :)
One thing I love about the spring and summer is how cheap and available fruits are. I have been loading my fridge with fruit lately and eating a bowl of mixed fruit and a hard boiled egg for brea...
Baby party
I saw 164 on the scale this morning. It has been a LONG time since I've seen that number. I've been stuck in the upper 160's for the last few months because my willpower has been up and down. Can...
A surprising development
Thanks for all the advice and kind words on my last entry about me watching the kids while working nights. I am most likely going to put them in daycare for 2 half days during which I will sleep ...
Maternity leave is coming to an end :(
I have to go back to work in 54 days and I'm starting to panic. We can't afford daycare and I prefer to raise my kids myself so I have to work nights and watch the kids all day by myself. I will ...
Tube surgery
Miles woke me up this morning at 6:45 and I got out of bed quickly because I knew we had to leave for Cody's ear tube surgery at 7:30. My plan was to feed Miles right away before Cody woke up so ...
Surgery tomorrow!
So Cody's surgery is tomorrow morning. I know getting ear tubes is a minor procedure but I am still nervous about it. Just the thought that someone will need to take him away from me before he ge...
My crazy life
So last Saturday we went bowling and to dinner with friends and their family. We took the kids and we were out of the house for 6 hours. I was sort of dreading it because nothing is easy with lit...
Just another day
Yesterday morning the kids were driving me crazy and I was tired and out of coffee so I was like let's get the hell out of this house lol. I know they both are happy once we start walking so why ...
Surgery is scheduled :/
So we went to the ear, nose and throat doctor today and Cody definitely needs tubes in both of his ears. One of them is particularly bad. The doctor said that his hearing is like how you hear und...
Speech assessment
I just wanted to start off by saying I. Am. Awesome! Lol. I wanted to get Miles to stop waking up at 9:30/10pm to nurse and I did it :) The first few nights I went in when he cried at that time a...
Cutting out night nursing
Well, it's thrilling that spring is here but with spring comes lots of rain. So, we've only been out a couple days this week. Which sucks. Today is supposed to be nice but I have grocery shopping...
Ah, the sweet smell of spring!
So somehow I haven't written in here in 2 weeks! Wow. Ok so the boys and I visited my parents again and had a blast as usual. We took them for walks, went to the park and even just had fun playin...
Victories and annoyances
After my last entry Miles was a screaming mess for the rest of the day. Tons of fun for me lol. Don't see any new teeth though. Tuesday morning I looked at the weather forecast and was a tad bit ...
Grumpy child
Miles can be so incredibly grumpy when he's not feeling the greatest. Meaning he wants to be held almost all the time, he will cry at almost anything and sometimes he will even cry in my arms as ...
Better days are here
A few days after my last entry, Miles finally got better. No more having a nose so full he could barely nurse or one that needs to be constantly wiped. Yay! And then he started to have times in t...
Hoping things will get easier soon :)
I finally took Miles to the doctor last night and they said he just has a bad combination of a bad cold and teething, so he just needs time to get over what he has. In the past few days his nose ...
Never ending sickness
Miles just turned 8 months the other day and the poor little guy has been sick with a cold for almost a month now. A month! That's just insane to me. Most of the time he's just been congested and...
Back on track, trying to be motivated
After way too many days of not caring and eating whatever I wanted (probably 8 days) I am back on track as of today. I am kinda tired today because we stayed up playing a euchre-like game with ou...
Feeling kinda blah
I took the boys to visit my parents this past weekend since they have been enjoying themselves escaping the horrible weather in Florida for the last 3 months. We had a great time but it wasn't to...
Some people!
Omg can I just say I absolutely hate it when someone has tunnel vision? Ugh!! Let me explain...ok so I have a facebook group consisting of 90 women who all had babies born the same month Miles wa...
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.
