As I have wrote about before, one of my favorite things to do is read other people's blogs. I just love reading about everyone else's lives! Since Caroline has came along, I am mostly drawn to mama blogs and my favorites are mama blogs tied with fashion, cooking, and life with kids! I have links on Safari on my phone and I spend my lunch time and night time reading away. Here are some of my favorite blogs to share with everyone…
My number one favorite blog- read every day! Shay has a family blog and a cooking blog... (seriously-she does it all) and one of my most favorite things about her family is the recent adoption of their little girl Ashby from China. There is a part of my heart that longs for adoption and I love to read about their journey with Ashby. She is also a Christian and has such a heart for the Lord. Anyways, this blog has everything! Fashion, cooking, kids, vacations..and sooo many helpful topics to read about. Love it.
I found all of these blogs from links on Shay's blog…and Andrea is the one that I can really relate to! She (like Shay) has three kids and writes some of the greatest posts about her daily crazy life. She is super honest and transparent as it gets, and not to mention her little girl is such a doll. Andrea also is a Christian and is always lifting another mama up in prayer. I love that!
Apparently Kelly's blog has been around for years and I am still spending time reading her past posts about the most awesome things. My favorite part of her blog is "Show Us Your Life", where she posts a topic and fellow bloggers share about the topic in their blog. Kelly's daughters are so pretty and most recently one of her little girl got saved at VBS..it brought tears to my eyes! It is seriously such a good read! Kelly also had her third baby a few months after Caroline and I love that she is older than me but we are going through the same things in life right now. Through Kelly's blog I recently started reading Leslie's Blog and was thoroughly enjoying it until I found out today that Leslie had passed away yesterday and my heart aches so much for her family. She had two girls under the age of 18 months and her heart problems escalated and her heart gave up on her. Tears were flowing when I read about her passing and thinking about her husband and girls.
Erika is friends with Shay and Andrea also and has three kids as well. She seems very down to earth and I love reading her posts about her kids and their new house.
This girl is such a hoot. She does the funniest Bachelor/Bachelorette recap blogs and I have read them every week for a couple of years until this year…when I didn't really get interested in Kaitlyn or Britt as the Bachelorettes and life was busy with Caroline so I didn't watch. Sheaffer and Shay are sponsored by Nordstrom on their blogs so I love their super cute fashion posts.
and there are a lot more that I don't really have time to link to right now…but I hope that you love these! My favorites are Shay, Andrea, and Kelly's blogs. Once you start reading, you will notice that Shay, Andrea, Erika, and Sheaffer are all friends from Texas. They all inspire me to write more about my life and to honestly share what's going on in my life.
In other news, we are officially swaddling Caroline... again. We had stopped when she turned four months old and started letting her sleeping on her side. For a couple of weeks she did fine, still waking up once at night. I had weaned her from taking a bottle when she woke up and thought we were doing great... Until last week when she started flailing her arms everywhere and woke herself up 4-5 times a night. After a few awful nights and much contemplation, I went to Baby's R Us one night at 7pm to buy a large Swaddle because I just couldn't stand another sleepless night. I'm not going to post about our progress just yet because I just was telling my friend Jen about it and then got jinxed and had another bad night. So for now we will just say it's getting better.
And I just feel the need to mention that I have never been a coffee drinker, and since Caroline has been born I get a headache if I wait too long without it! We even resulted to getting out our coffee maker because we were saving more money buying a big bag of Dunkin' Doughnuts at Sams rather than spending nine dollars a week on K-Cups!

Today is my off day so I'm getting some laundry and cleaning done and then after lunch we are headed out to do some light shopping! I hope that your Tuesday is great! I'm not looking forward to working Wednesday Thursday or Friday but as always looking forward to the weekend!
XOXO- Laci
