Creating A Pretty & Simple Life
It’s crazy how time flies. Scarlett will be a month old on Thursday. I feel like it was just yesterday when I was sitting in the hospital with her in my arms. But the reality is, the days of holding a tiny 6-pounder are quickly passing. And so are the days of her only needing a few ounces of breastmilk. This girl can EAT and I’m doing
Literally, as I sit here trying to type this post about a solution for a Work At Home Parent who is caring for a newborn, my 3-week old daughter is crying for me to hold her.

I can’t believe there are only four days left till Baby Girl Finch arrives! With that being said, my mind is a little preoccupied these days with all things BABY! That’s why tonight’s How To Get Away With Crafting project is baby-themed. This project is about creating a special way to preserve the sweetest of baby memories – his or her first 10 days. (Note:

I can’t believe it! Baby Girl Finch will be here in 13.5 days. That means in less than 2 weeks I’m going to have two under two. I totally see how that will be awesome, but right now that idea scares me more than it thrills me. Seriously, there are 101 reasons why I’m a little nervous. Right now my biggest worry is about going out with both
I am so excited for the spring and summer. With the local weather improving each day, I am eager to get Westley and Baby Girl Finch outside.

This week I had the chance to collaborate with Gina Karas of CaliforniaScrappin’.com on her pocket scrapbooking series. The last part of her 3 part series is about how you can maintain a pocket scrapbook for a year-long project. Gina asked me to give my perspective on how to do this as a WAHM. 5 Tips On Pocket Scrapbooking For Busy Parents I have to
So I’m in the homestretch of this pregnancy. At the end of March, my son, Westley will have his “B.” That’s his nickname for my belly/little sister, Baby Girl Finch. I’m so excited. I’m also reflecting on lessons learned from my first pregnancy. After thinking about several things to do differently in my last 30 days of pregnancy, I thought I’d share them with other mamas-to-be
So I’m a Work At Home Mom. I’m a part-time designer and marketer for a child enrichment center (NEST Chestnut Hill).
