Buddha & Belly

27 Jun

I have a prego-bucket list that is set to expire in 13 weeks, give or take a little. There’s still a lot to accomplish, but yesterday I was able to cross off prenatal yoga. I haven’t been to the gym since I hit the 6-month mark because of a combination of cramping and bleeding that [...]

The farmer’s market may not be a staple in our community yet, but Vegas is heading in the right direction. On Saturday morning, local vendors set up shop under the shade of Floyd Lamb Park’s Cottonwood trees and prepared to greet the masses.

Turtle Power

20 Jun

I had to repost this ridiculously cute video from the Bad Moms’ Club about a little girl and her tortoise companion. My hubby’s aunt has two dessert tortoises and we’ve been tossing around the idea of getting our own. I think this video sealed the deal for us. Enjoy!

Anticipating Lizzy's Arrival

17 Jun

The Bump has the cutest tickers to countdown your little one’s arrival. My favorite is the Size ticker. Since the very beginning I’ve been informing my husband of Lizzy’s size in relation to random fruit. I miss saying, “This week she’s a large raspberry.” However, her squash resemblance means she’s even closer to being welcomed [...]

Jessica's "Daily Affirmation"

15 Jun

I saw the funniest video on TV a couple weeks ago and then searched everywhere to find it again with no luck. I knew it was pulled from YouTube so I started entering search phrases like “girl who loves everything” and “child motivational speaker.” Instead of what I wanted I got crapola. Then as luck [...]
