so, i've been slacking.  i haven't been blogging regularly and i'm surprisingly ok with this.  i spend my days playing with ellie and either taking naps or cleaning house when she's napping.  we also like to hang out with friends.  i feel so much more productive, but i also really kind of miss blogging/reading blogs. this new little person in our lives makes priorities a little (ok a LOT) different.  i'll learn how to balance it all eventually.  or at least make some more "me" time in the evenings when she goes to sleep and not fall asleep at 8 pm. ;)

in other news... we almost have a 6 month old baby, WHAT? she's doing the whole rocking on her hands and knees so it's just a matter of time before she learns how to move forward and not just backwards.  and i actually used my sewing machine.  i made a little heart pillow (inspired by rubyellen's) for little sophia curry that will be here any day now.  now that i know how to use it maybe i'll do it more.

have a lovely tuesday and thanks for reading and coming back to see what's going on with my family. <3

  1. I think it's wonderful that you're blogging less in order to spend time with your little one. That means you're a good momma and you're taking in life's precious moments. Sometimes you gotta do that, and we will still be here for the moments you get time to blog! Blessings on you and your family. xo

  2. I understand prioritizing... Now that I work I only want to be with Olivia when I get home. Ellie is getting so big! I love that little pillow by the way :)

  3. I've been slacking in the blog world too! I've always said it's the last of my last on my priority list.

    I love that little heart pillow. I have a sewing machine my husband got me 2 years ago for Christmas and I need to find time to use it more. I don't think I have in almost a year.

  5. I feel this exactly! Since baby came along, my online life is both less important to me (because I'm spending time with my little family) and more so (because I want to record it all somehow so I never forget how it felt). It's hard finding the right balance!
