Green Bay Packers Wreath DIY

It’s been three weeks and one day. Can it be? I fell into a dark hole and couldn’t find my way out. Well…a deep dark hole on the beach in Isla Mujeres, Mexico. Where it was actually bright and sunny. And 80 degrees. Can I go back now? More about Mexico later. You didn’t think I’d take a dreamy vacation and not blog about it did you? Of course not. Bragging rights.

Starting back to work after over two weeks of vacation is not fun. I mean, it could be much worse (like if my iTunes shut down and didn’t let me listen to Taylor Swift’s 1989 on repeat), but I think most people would rather be on vacation. I’m actively playing the lottery in order to be permanently on vacation. I’d appreciate your well wishes that I win.

When I drudged into the office on Monday morning, our little Christmas wreath was still on the door (see above left). I was about to throw it away when a light bulb went off in my head. Gold and white wreath…I’m only missing one color. Green. As in The Green Bay Packers. I had to represent.

Our (as in the city of Green Bay…which I so graciously call mine) team is well on it’s way to the NFC Championship game. If we can beat Dallas this weekend, it’s on for Seattle.  Their twelfth man has nothing on our fans.

I took my old Christmas wreath, tied some green ribbon into it, and hung my football ornament from the middle. Easy peesy. Then I subjected my office-mates to having it hung on the door. Hey, if your team is out, mine is in. I mean, it’s only fair.

When I became a stay at home mom, I thought it wou When I became a stay at home mom, I thought it would only be for a year at most. But as it turned out, I was lucky to be able to make it last as long as it has. What no one ever tells you though about becoming a SAHM, is that your whole identity can get wrapped up in being a mom. And for some women, that’s not a good thing. But for me, it’s a phenomenal thing. It’s an incredible time in my life that I wouldn’t trade for anything. That doesn’t mean I’m not exhausted or irritated at all, it just means I’ll take all of the negatives because the positive completely outweighs it for me. 

This should go without saying, that if you AREN’T satisfied with just being a mom, that’s okay too. For some women, having something else that is THEIRS makes them a better mom. And more power to you!

Back when I was growing up (wayyyyyyy back then), Back when I was growing up (wayyyyyyy back then), it seemed like most people grew up around their extended families. By the time I was in my twenties, it just seemed more likely that you’d be living away from your home towns, starting your own life. But what we didn’t realize was what that meant down the road, when we would start our own families. That our village wouldn’t be made of our family, but instead close friends. The only problem with that, is that most other young parents are working to support themselves, thus aren’t always available to be your village. It can be hard to ask a friend for help when you know she’s simultaneously drowning in her own house. 

So if it “takes a village,” but you’re doing it on your own, I see you. It’s HARD, and it is exhausting. But one day we will be on the other side of these days, telling our babies that it takes a village. And hopefully, we will be right down the road to help them. 🩵

After having my first daughter, I felt like I knew After having my first daughter, I felt like I knew a lot about parenting. I had it down, we had a routine and a schedule and she was pretty easy to handle. Then we had a second. And I realized that everything I THOUGHT I knew about parenting was a lie. I wasn’t a pro at “parenting,” I was a pro at parenting HER. Now I do everything I can not to laugh when a mom of only one child talks like I did. I get it, we’ve been there too, and I’m not judging. But the more kids you add in, the more experience you get as a parent. Because every personality is SO different, that the way you parent one isn’t always the same as the way you parent the others. 

Thoughts?
When I heard this audio, I instantly loved it. It’s such a crazy thing to see in nature, that God is showing us just how stressful and depleting being a new mama can be. 

So if you’re in the thick of it mama, just know you’ll get your pink back soon.

I don’t think we talk enough about how great it I don’t think we talk enough about how great it feels when your child feels safe with someone else. It may be a family member or a best friend, but it’s such a good feeling to know they have another rock in their life.
