Monday Confessions.. On Tuesday.

So I wrote this blog yesterday and never got to posting it. So In celebration of my new life as a mother, please enjoy my Monday blog... on Tuesday! ;)

I'm currently enjoying a delectable salad made by my amazing husband, listening to my baby snore and finally getting a chance to sit down and write a quick blog. Yay! :) I'm hoping to start a habit of writing a blog on Mondays that is all about being raw & honest even if its something people dont necessarily agree with.. hence my title "Monday Confessions." I follow a blogger who does Saturday Confessions. Monday is more my day to dish. you can find her blog here.

Quick update on the Parker home first. baby boy is almost 4 weeks old. Unbelievable how time flies!
Had to do a photo with daddy's glasses!

We are loving his little personality that is JUST starting to come out. We have been trying to find a way to help him with his belly issues. He is pretty colicky and tends to have alot of gas. Poor baby. We just got some infant probiotics and are starting those today. As for Caleb & I, we are doing well. Nothing too note worthy to mention.
So, now for my Monday Confession..  

I am a Sleep deprived mother.. and I am ok with that.

My sink is full of dishes.
I am so behind on laundry.
My cat looks like a lion 
& could desperately use a shave.

So for today, this sleep deprived Mom will take it one moment at time, one dish at a time & one hairball at time.

Hope you are all doing Well.
Love & Blessings.

    a crazy adventure motherhood, right?! I feel constantly "behind" and have had to stop myself from making the "list" in my head thinking...when I lay her down I will.......do this and do that....and I just tell myself to be ok with just holding her as people are always reminding new mothers of how quickly time goes....seeing everyone's "back to school" pics today on FB I'm reminded again....I'm choosing to nap with her, to keep holding her, to focus on her new faces, to be present with her...the rest of the stuff will always be there!

      Amen! it is so crazy! And you are so right. i try and always remind myself to embrace every moment with him.. even the difficult ones and remember that each stage he is in is a gift from God. That I blessed just to have him & time will go way to fast! You are a great mom Sarah! your blog (and your little girl) are beautiful! thank you for sharing!

So we are getting closer and closer to being settled at the new place, but lets be real.. we have so far to go. My main goal is to try and do dishes, laundry & keep us fed. Unpacking will come in due time. I have a handful of things i want to share with you so lets get to it! 1. I finally got Axels Cloth diapers! I bought them here.  They are bamboo flats & I am using bummis covers as of now! They are working pretty well. the flat is very basic. literally just a large piece of organic cotton/bamboo. I have tried 3 different ways to fold and not quite sure which i like best yet.  Trifold - Newspaper fold- Origami fold. I think I'm going to stick with Newspaper for now. If you're interested in this there are plenty of youtube videos to check out! Cloth diapering is a huge money saver! We have already spent more on disposables in the first 2 months than we did on our cloth diaper supply! On top of that, disposables create so much waste! It is estimated that in the Uni...

I'm Still Learning..

Image
In case you are wondering.. I am still learning.  When we make a choice to do something, to love someone, to take on a new adventure, to commit to a new job or to become a parent, we are learning . It seems nearly impossible to live life's experiences and not be absorbing something at some point.  Moving to Costa Rica has not looked like I thought it would. Not at all really. In some ways that's good and in some ways its been hard. It seems that in every circumstance I am confronted with, God reminds me that this is a learning experience , an opportunity to grow.  I have a lot of thoughts running through my head and not a lot of words being typed out. All in all I am thankful that although sometimes my plans don't look like Gods plans, I am happy knowing I am in good hands.  This is short but i wanted to just share a few thoughts and a few photos.  Lots of Love, Briana
