I'm now a mommy of 2!

Hi there! It feels like forever since I last wrote a post. It was more than 4 months ago because my new little one is here and just turned 4 months old 2 weeks ago! Let me tell you, being a mommy to 2 kids is definitely different than being a mommy of just 1! Things can be tough at times but I wouldn't have it any other way! And I love having my 2 kids so close in age, my oldest turned 2 in June! I'm so excited to see them grow up together and (hopefully) love and play with each other!!

Right around the time my second little one was born, I got into essential oils and bought my starter kit from Young Living. I went to an oil party that one of my friends had and I instantly fell in love with the oils! I'm all about using things that are better for me, my family, and our budget so I'm greatful to have found out about Young Living. Because I'm still new to the oils and have to watch what kinds of things I write and say, I'm a little nervous to blog about it but I'm going to do my research and make sure I stay compliant while sharing the goodness of oils with you, my readers! I'm not a doctor or medical professional so I can't say that any oils will cure or heal you from any illnesses. So here and there you will read a post about oils I love and how I use them in my daily life. One thing I suggest is that if you are interested in learning more about Young Living and essential oils, cheek out this episode of The Essential Oil Revolution podcast. "Seed to Seal" is not just a slogan, it's Young Living's process and it's what sets them apart from other essential oil companies.

Starting now I hope I can share a new post with my readers a few times a week. I'm even hoping I can start doing reviews and giveaways like I did on my old blog. So until next time, have a great day and Happy Halloween!

Welcome

    Welcome to my brand new blog!! I've blogged in the past and decided to create a new blog and come back to the blogging world!! It may take me a little bit to get into a regular blogging schedule because I'm currently due with my husband and I'm second child!! I have a c-section scheduled for May 31st and it can't get here soon enough!!
    Even though this is my second pregnancy,  I've never been this pregnant. My first was born at 32 weeks due to me having Vasa previa, which is when the placenta is low and there are blood vessels in the way of the cervix. I was put on hospitalized bed rest at 32 weeks and then 2 days later my daughter decided it was time to be born. Her heart rate was decelerating so they decided to get her out of there. She did very well with only 16 days in the NICU and in about a month she will turn 2!! You can't even tell she was a premie!!!
    I am more uncomfortable this time around than I was with my daughter so I'm ready to go!! But I know it's best for my little guy (yes, it's a boy!!) to stay in there as long as possible. So we've got 19 days and counting! !!
    Now, what can you expect from this blog? Lots of things: life of a stay at home mom with 2 kids, recipes I love, TV shows I watch, books I read, and just about anything else I find interesting!! So stay tuned and I hope you enjoy my blog!!
