Hello friends!
You may have noticed that I disappeared from this site and Writing posts for a bit. Writing, testing and sharing recipes, and DIY projects has taken a bit of a back seat for the last year. Why? Growing a human is hard work!
That’s right – if you don’t follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you may not already know – my husband and I are just a short (but long) 64 days away from expecting our little lady Love, Olivia Rose. For me, this has been a long awaited dream. I have wanted to be a mom since I was a teenager for reasons I’ve never really been able to put into words. I have a Question-A-Day style journal and for the last 4 years when I get to the question “What do you want to do?”, I’ve written that I want to be a mom. That’s it. That’s what I’m supposed to be!
Flash forward to just shy of 4 years after our wedding and 2 months after finally moving into our new home, we decided that it was time to grow our tribe.
So for the last 201 days I have been hard at work Growing this little person that has already sent my heart overflowing with love. Every little wiggle and kick – every pair of pants outgrown and sore body part – every bit of this pregnancy has been an absolute joy. I plan to use this platform to explore motherhood as baby girl and I navigate those waters together. Hopefully I can insert some of my husband’s experiences too because he’s just as new to this baby thing! I’m almost as excited to watch him become a daddy as I am to become a mama myself. Be on the lookout for what we’re up to, if that’s the kind of thing you’re into. I can’t WAIT to get started!
Love Samantha and Olivia
