Dollar Store Easter Door Hanger

3.27.2018

Dollar Store Easter Door HangerApparently having babies means you have zero free time to blog. Not that I would know of course, I mean, I’ve blogged twice now since Sawyer was born. It’s this weird thing where you literally have zero going on in your life but zero free time at the same time. It’s tricky.

But alas, here I am. I’m back for your viewing pleasure. Or more like I’m bringing Sawyer back for your viewing pleasure, because, let’s face it. She’s the real beauty here.

So now that I’m a mama, I have almost no time to craft. I know, I know…find time for yourself they say. It’s all a balance they say. Try to relax they say. Don’t worry. On the good days I get in a three minute shower.

In all of my holiday decorations, the one thing I really don’t have is an Easter door hanger. So I strapped Sawyer on and off we went in search of something easy we could DIY. Since the Dollar Tree is my favorite store, you can guess where we stopped first.

I picked up this little fringy looking bunny and some cute ribbon. The bunny already had a bow, but it was kind of lame and plastic, need I say more? So I just spruced up the old bunny with a little color. Tied a bow around the neck and voila! New and improved bunny. To be honest, you can’t even call this a DIY. Unless your a new mom. Then this is the DIY of the century.

And as promised, for your viewing pleasure: Sawyer posing with the new bunny. In the midst of a sneeze. Which is just about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.

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.

We can’t always wait around for someone else to We can’t always wait around for someone else to take the videos we want of us with our babies. Set up the camera and take it yourself, you won’t regret it for a second.

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.
