Excited to finally have a chance to link up with my friend Hallie who is one of my favorite reads.
1. Fashion or Fret? Debating whether or not to attend fashion week this fall. I have a few things I am trying to cram into a quick 48 hour trip. I keep hemming and hawing over leaving a new baby for a few days (with Gabe). Is this crazy ? You tell me. Breastfeeding would require me to pump through the trip…any experience with this? I just don’t think bringing him is wise in the busy city of NYC.
2. #VerilyMoment. I received my first issue of Verily Magazine in the mail yesterday. I read it cover to cover….laughed, teared up, was encouraged, and challenged in good ways. Friends, you need to get yourself a copy ASAP. The girls behind this magazine are truest gems in every sense of the word.
3. When in doubt, ask social media. I have been struggling with finding out what has been making Max so uncomfortable. Poor baby just wants to be snuggled close to mama at all times. I am perfectly okay with this:) I do need to do simple things that require two hands sometimes however… We realized it had to be reflux of some sort. So I turned to the great world of social media to ask what their best solutions were for reflux. (“I just want to send this cosmic question into the void…”) The answers came pouring in and now I feel as if I see a light at the end of the sleep deprivation;) If you need some good solutions yourself, just read this comment thread. So thank you cosmic void friends of social media….you come through once again.
4. The fiction world of pinterest. Sometimes due to the fact that I am usually over tired (see #3) with an overflowing inbox, I avoid reality by diving into the fiction world of pinterest, and dream about my someday fiction house with fiction closet and the fiction food I will never make in my kitchen. Okay maybe I will attempt a fraction. Just a quick look at my boards will show you the amount of time I waste as a result of late night attempts to escape anxiety. Feel free to feed my vice and send me more ideas to pin!…
