My toe...broken.
On a stupid baby gate???!!! Yes, it can happen. Sheesh, this is embarrassing. Now I'll have this ugly, sore, purple thing wrapped up with tape for a month or more. Yay, me!

Hideously annoying injuries!
So in the span of one day, I closed my one-year-old's finger in our bathroom door, and stubbed my toe on our wooden baby gate.
Both of these injuries are incredibly annoying (there's not a cool story behind them), yet surprisingly painful (much crying and ice-pack holding occurred).
Closing Bubba's finger in the door was, of course, more traumatizing for me than him. As soon as I did it I freaked out but definitely went into action mode. After the creepy blue, squished swelling went down (after a good 20+ minutes of forcing an ice pack onto a very uncooperative baby), I could tell Bubba's little pinky wasn't broken and therefore the worst was behind us.
As for my toe, which was brutally attacked by the baby gate just a mere two hours ago.....is status-yet-to-be-determined. There are no odd colors, lumpiness or crazy swelling happening....but I can do longer put my full weight on my stinkin' foot!
Why, oh, why can such silly injuries be so debilitating??? Tell me your silliest injuries, or just giggle at mine. Either way, leave some love<3

why I'm starting my own blog!
After my Bubba was born last September, I slowly discovered that there are TONS of moms on YouTube and blog sites chatting it up and discussing their lives from the day-to-day SAHM stuff to fashion and beauty. These moms inspire me!
At the time I was having a difficult go at the stay-at-home-mommy lifestyle. Having always worked part time and been a full-time student, I was not used to the new pace of things! Taking care of a newborn was waayyy harder than I ever imagined. I didn't fall into a good groove of things until my Bubba was almost a year! Which was just this month:-O That was just my pace.... slow and steady. A lot of women take on the new role as mommy quickly and seamlessly, and that just wasn't me.
Mooooving on! I realized these other mommies love their lives, even though things are much, much different for them now that they are parents. They make lemonade out of their lemons, and make jokes out of the silliness that ensues! "Why can't I be like that?", I thought.
Well, this is me finally stepping up and deciding to be like that! I'm (finally) embracing my new life as a mommy and I'm loving it!
Similar stories?? I want to hear them! I want to also shout out to two mommies who have made my life grand! Marie and Louise!!!! Please check out their blogs! And if Louise and Marie are reading this now, You have helped make me a happier person!:)

want!
Want this for my Bubba! It's the Pottery Barn Kids Anywhere Chair. I need a place to corral him into a seated position. This one looks soft and snuggly. Opinions?:)

omg...life!
well, I pretty much love my life:) I'm 23, have been married to my BEST FRIEND for just over 2 years now, and have a just-turned-one-year-old bubba boy. But these things are not why I LOVE MY LIFE! I am ecstatic that I am at a point in my life where I feel like I have accepted my place in the world and feel truly content. That doesn't mean things are perfect! By no means. But I can accept what hits me, and that makes me truly happy. I am discovering what living really means. Anyone else out there who can relate? I want to hear about your life!
p.s.
I have never really used this blog, truly. But I intend to start now! I want to write about daily happenings and big life changes, and I want to meet people along the way! Hit me up with your comments, and I would love to subscribe to your blogs!
