It has been whirlwind of a fall, winter and spring. From constant sickness to the holidays to......a third baby (What!?), we have been quite busy the last six months. As I was preparing for the combined birthday party for the kiddos (3 and 1) in January, I was also binge eating and feeling exhausted. Thinking that I was having trouble getting off the holiday food fest, I started a sugar detox to try to get back on track. I failed miserably. Then one day while my daughter, the three year old, was feeling icky and watching Sofia the First, I started crying as Sofia was trying to make it up the bell tower to make the flying derby team. Go Sofia Go! It was then that I knew.

September is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Awareness month. This topic is very personal for me because I have PCOS. My hope is that awareness can continue past just this month.
We have just completed week of challenging each other, my husband and I, to only drinking water. We have both been trying to do better with our caffeinated and sugary beverage drinks, but we needed to amp it up a bit. Focusing on doing it together, being accountable to each other I think is what got us through. Although, we each have had two drinks, once on Wednesday and once this weekend.
Faith is something I believe we all have, it's just a matter of what you have faith IN. For me, I have faith in God and that He is in control of all things, despite what I may think at times. My faith has been tested and strengthened in so many ways over the last few years. Most recently, I am discovering a whole new level of faith.
It has been a week of almost exclusively pumping and I have very mixed emotions. I have shared some about the ongoing food sensitivity saga with Little Man. The transition to SAHM-hood has had some challenges on its own, but to add in a significant diet change and now almost exclusively pumping, I can honestly say some days I feel totally crazy. I am on day 31 of dairy, egg and gluten free with 5 cheats, two of those times only being 1-2 bites of the offending food.
It's hard to believe that my baby is 5 1/2 months ALREADY!! It has gone by so fast that I can barely remember these past few months, it's just blurry. I am trying to slow things down and take more time for "the little things". I do not believe in holding them back from milestones and if they are ready, then they are ready.
I feel like I have had a ton of mommy moments lately. And I'm REALLY hoping I'm not the only one that has been locked out of the house before. At least it wasn't as bad as that episode on "Up All Night" where Christina Applegate's character has to crawl in through a window......thank goodness!
Laundry has always been difficult to manage for me, especially when I was working. I would get "caught up", just to have it piled high a few days to a week later. In talking with other moms, I am glad that I am not alone in that laundry is a never ending battle and everyone has their own system. I thought I would share my system (including cloth diaper laundering) today that I have been doing for the past few weeks.
