Mother's Day

I absolutely loved celebrating my first Mother's Day. On Saturday Sammy declared it my day so we could do whatever I wanted to do. He went to the pharmacy to grab something for Aaron and came back with a cute card for me and some cherry truffles. He'd been sick the whole week and when he was handing me the bag of truffles, I thought they were cough drops and was like, thanks for the cough drops? We got a good laugh out of that. 

We went for a long walk in the morning as a family. Then, after Aaron's nap we went to Mod Pizza for the first time. It was SO GOOD! You can put absolutely anything on your pizza, and they even drizzled ranch right onto my pizza in a spiral. I can't wait to go back there. 

After the pizza we went and got crumbl cookie. There was a long line but I didn't care, I was getting my cookies. They were so worth it.

That afternoon we finally had our family pictures taken. I'd been so excited to do it and was a little worried about how Aaron was going to behave since it was close to bed time. When I was doing my makeup, Sammy was dealing with some car troubles so I was all on my own to entertain Aaron and get ready. I put him in the sink to watch me and he had a blast.
I got everything done and was putting my makeup away when Aaron grabbed my blush and threw it on the floor. Good bye makeup. He then figured out how to turn on the sink seconds later and completely soaked himself. When I was cleaning him up he just kept saying dada over and over again. I asked if he could say mama for mothers day, but he just said dada again :)
He was amazing. He was so good in the beginning and we got a lot of great photos. When he let us know that he was done, he sat in his strolled swaddled up in a blanket with his pacifier watching Sammy and I take some couple photos. I'm so glad that we got to spend the day together as a family. 
He's yelling dada in that picture haha!

On Sunday we went to church with my parents and Aaron sat next to his grandma. Then we went over to Sammy's parents for a Mother's Day lunch. They were so sweet and got me flowers, a balloon, and a card. I came out of the bathroom and found them like this. 
I made Sammy take a ton of photos of Aaron and I in the backyard. I kept reminding him that it was Mother's Day so he had to take pictures of us. I had him wear his onesie that says my mom's hugs are the best in Spanish. 

After that lunch we went back to my parents and had our own version of Snooze breakfast tacos. They were SO good! 

It was a lovely day spent with our moms :)

Sammy even wrote a Facebook post about me, something he never does haha!

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Christmas Lights

It’s funny having a baby and then trying to do things. I’ve noticed over the last year that I’ve gotten an I Can’t do that sort of attitude. We can’t do that because Aaron will cry and we’ll get cranky and so on. I’m really trying to work on that.  My anxiety out in public is much worse too. Now I have two people to protect not just myself. The library definitely changed how I look at places and I wish it hadn’t.  Sammy really wanted to go to a Christmas village downtown but I was too overwhelmed by all the logistics. So we compromised and went to one near us. It was so much fun! It was cold out but not too too bad. Aaron loves looking at the Christmas lights at our apartments, and he really loved these ones. It was so much more fun trying to look at these things through his eyes.  He was also fascinated by the mini Santa and Mrs. Clause at grandma’s house.  I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go next year when he’s walking:)
