Superheroes


Here we go...the second month of the new year. 

I know...I roll my eyes at myself over how much I lament on the passing of time, but somehow I never get over the fact that time moves ever so quickly. I feel like all I do is stay sane enough to "keep up." Do you ever feel like that?

I got quiet on the blogging front when the family came down with the case of the cold. One by one, we were all taken out. The last of us to catch it was baby B. As a new mom, this was my first time dealing with an ill baby. And it wasn't even bad! A slight cough. Runny nose. Cranky attitude. Overall, it was nothing compared to how I hear it could be. BUT, the caveat was that I was also sick. And...welllll...that's a whole new ball game. The days of just lying in bed, watching Netflix and sleeping whenever I want are simply memories now. Like the commercial says, "moms don't take sick days." Now, I have to hatch a new battle plan for sick days. 

All this "down time" in the house left me pondering on many thoughts. On the blog. On my views on parenting. On my life as a whole. Even though I'm more than halfway through baby B's first year of life, I'm only just getting the mother title down. It took all of my energy to roll out of the house, throw on this blanket scarf and feel put together...let alone look it. I trust that I'll get to a balancing act that will work for me. Hopefully sooner than later. But, until then please bare with me.

Looking at some blogging moms, I feel like they're heroes. They seem to "do it all." 
{some of my faves: Oh Joy, Love Taza, The Daybook, A Cup of Jo}
Oh yes, I realize the moments posted are moments filtered. But, it's still admirable.

And the moms who I know personally who care for more than one baby, who work and take care of their babies and those who have to do it on their own...well they're my superheroes.

Simply put, you all rock. If I'm half of what I see in all of you then I'm on the right track.

  1. I've dealt with a LOT of sick babies and kids--having four of them. Currently, my baby and my 10 year old have Influenza A. It's the worst. It is so heart wrenching watching them suffer and not being able to immediately fix them. :-(

  4. You rock too, Nancy! You should know that as well. You are balancing it all and sharing such a graceful, honest, and admirable approach to it all. I think you look very put together. Had you not decided to share, I never would have known the cold plague had hit your house.

  12. I can't even imagine how you muster up the strength to power through the cold to take care of the baby...but I guess being a mom gives you super human strength!

    It really is crazy how quickly time flies (and I say that all of the time too)...but how is it February?!

    Loving the cozy scarf!

  16. Love this outfit. All of it.
    And your thought on the passage of time? I do a monthly recap on the blog, and it always takes on such a somber tone. It's a time for me to reflect on how time moves too damn quickly for all the things I have to and want to do.
    I'm not a mom yet-- don't know if I'll ever be. But I can only imagine how incredibly trying and rewarding it can be. You look fabulous while doing it. Good for you!
