A guest post by Mr. Right & a giveaway winner

Y’all, I have a treat for you today – Mr. Right has written his very first guest post! I’m trying to talk him into doing a regular guest spot, so be sure to leave him lot’s of love in the comment section. Now you can see why I love him so much.

———————————————-

Texas Lovely has been asking me for a while to guest write on her blog.

I have to admit that when we first got married, I didn’t quite understand women’s blogging. The blogs that I read (uncrate.com, acontiuouslean.com, blog.imogeneandwillie.com, to name a few) talk about stuff. How it’s made. How cool it is. How much cooler I would be if I would just buy it. Who needs discussion of feelings? Who needs discussions about fears and failures? I just didn’t get it.

Then I realized just how much my wife compares her life to other women. When things are really rocking along, she wants everyone to celebrate the wins in our life. When things are crawling along, she wants sympathy. The obligatory, “that stinks” answer and NOT just a “let me fix it” answer.

Is comparison always bad? Is it always fueling inadequacy? I definitely don’t think so. Over time, reading her blog I have come to understand that she can laugh about the minor defeats, cry about the big losses, but revel in the big wins. Her honesty is a chance for me to see her view. It’s a chance for me, as a reader and her husband, to say “that’s great!” Or “that stinks.”

It’s a chance to see into her life and say, I am normal. If life is great, I’m normal. If life is hard, I’m normal. A chance to see behind closed doors and church facades. A chance to not compare but to take joy in the phrase, when one part suffers we all suffer, when one part rejoices we all rejoice.

When Bethe and I got married I asked her a simple question, “What is one thing that you want to do before you die?” It took her a while but she finally replied, “Write a book.” I want to see her live that out, and this blog is a huge part of that.

Thanks for celebrating with our family. Thanks for laughing at us and crying with us. Thanks for helping me fuel my wife’s passions.

Thanks for doing life with us.

Shop Update & 30,000 Hits!

Every time there’s a change in seasons, it’s a great excuse to do a little house cleaning, change out the wardrobe, and freshen things up. And maybe it’s because I’m finishing up one job and getting excited to start a new one, but I just felt like it was time to freshen up the shop a bit too.

I’m happy to show you a few new prints, plus a few more that are perfect for this time of year. Such an inexpensive way to update your home. Click on the image to be linked back to the item in my shop.

with thanksgiving

You know I love bunting. And scripture. And making a joyful noise (emphasis on the noise part). This print makes my heart happy and will be making its debut in my home this fall. This would make a wonderful hostess gift for that relative hosting Thanksgiving this year.

Rise and Shine

Speaking of bunting – this is one of the songs I sing to Wrenn in the mornings. I sing to her all the time because she smiles up at me and gets so excited. And so I do it all the time. This print is in her honor.

Family Tree 8x10-gray-yellow

I decided to bring back one of my best-selling custom prints ever – the family tree print. But now, the colors and SIZE are fully customizable (hooray!). I’m only offering it as a digital download, which means I can offer it at a better rate and YOU can print it to whatever size you’d like. A 5×7 and a 16×20 cost the same. Wouldn’t this be cute on the sign-in table at a wedding, or given as an anniversary present? Last year I had one customer purchase a print for every couple in her family, wrapped them and put them under her tree for Christmas morning. I wish I could have been there when they all opened it!

adventures - bicycles2

Mr. Right and I love our matching cruiser bicycles and regularly take them out on picnics along Trinity Trail. Or, that is, until we got pregnant and had Little Bit – now it’s time to invest in one of those bike trailers so that little Wrenn can hitch a ride on our little adventures. This print is available for a digital download and I can customize the wording to anything you’d like.

thankful2

And of course, don’t forget about my other fall/Thanksgiving print – it’s an old favorite that is perfect for a fall mantle.

Also, as promised – I’m doing a fun give-away next week in honor of my 30,000th hit on the blog this year. You won’t want to miss it – it involves clothes, and who doesn’t need something new and cute every once in awhile?

Happy Two Months Wrenn!

***Note: Wrenn turned two months old on September 10, but I went back to work two days later, and am just now getting around to posting this because all I want to do in the evenings if come home and snuggle my baby girl. Her photo is from the two month mark and it’s amazing how much she has changed since then! Stay tuned in a few days for her three month post!

Wrenn - two months-blog

Dear Wrenn,

Oh baby girl, I can’t tell you how much I adore you. This month, around week 5, you started smiling at me. It’s one of the greatest feelings in the whole world – I will come in to your room to wake you up at 7:00 each morning and you greet me with a big grin as if to say, “Oh hi mama – I’m so happy to see you!”

You are definitely a morning person. You have fallen into a routine of going to bed between 7:30 and 8:00 and waking up at 7:00 each morning. Most nights you only wake up once, which has been a treat for your mama. You still love to be swaddled and it’s the only way you’ll sleep in your crib, but it works like a charm.

You’re such a talker already. It makes sense, seeing as both your daddy and me are quite gabby. You talk and coo and have long conversations with me, smiling and singing. You have the sweetest little high-pitched voice. Sometimes I’ll repeat your coos back at you, and you smile like you think it’s so funny. I love our little conversations.

We took you on two road trips during your second month – the first to a family lake house – just the three of us – in Oklahoma, and the second to Midland to celebrate the birthdays of cousins Ella and Jack. You are a good traveler, sleeping most of the way. But packing for a baby – oh my goodness, you require a LOT of luggage! Your daddy and I love to travel and we can’t wait to show you the world.

You still have colic, which made for some tough moments this month, mostly because as your mama I hate to watch you suffer. Toward the end of the month things improved a little, and in the meantime we continue to give you Mommy’s Bliss Gripe Water after every feeding and try our best to console you as you cry. I can’t wait for you to feel better.

Your favorite color is red. You get so excited when you see something red from across the room and get a big smile on your face and stare intently. I’ll admit sometimes I wear a red shirt just because I know you’ll like it. You love to sit up like a big girl – with our help, of course – and can hold your head up for long periods of time. You don’t like to be cuddled up to our shoulder – no, you like to see what’s going on around you. I have a feeling you’re going to be quite social as you grow up.

You’re becoming more observant. You love to lie on the floor under this toy/play-thing and kick at the toys dangling above you. You don’t yet know what to do with your hands, but those little feet of yours have great aim. You are a wiggly little thing.

You’re still long and lean. You started the month in preemie clothes and finally got too long for those and graduated to newborn clothes. Even though you’re a skinny little thing, you’re a great eater and the doctor says you’re quite healthy, which we are so thankful for. And you have the biggest eyes I’ve ever seen on a baby – everybody who meets you comments on how beautiful they are, and how alert you are. I could stare at them for hours.

I got to stay home with you again this month and went back to work just a few days after your two month birthday. This second month was so much easier – we seemed to know each other better, I was able to anticipate your needs better, and I just loved getting to play with you, cuddle you, and tote you around. You are such a fun addition to our little family. Sometimes your daddy and I look at each other and wonder how God could have chosen us to be parents of someone so wonderful.

Baby girl, you are a delight and an answer to my prayers. It is an honor to be your mama. I love you, Wrenn Olivia!

-Mommy

Wrenn - one month

Time for a new adventure

I don’t ever talk about work on here – it’s just better for me to keep some things private. However, I also want to be as honest as possible about life and what’s new with our family. And so, I will tell you in very general terms that after ten years, I have a new job.

TEN WHOLE YEARS. That’s pretty crazy for a gal my age, huh? I kind of feel like a kid moving to a new school – I’m going to desperately miss my friends, but I’m also excited about the new possibilities this new job will bring.

The new gig will allow me to have more time at home with my baby girl and Mr. Right, but I’m still going to get to do a lot of the things I love. I’ll be the marketing director for a national  non-profit. This particular place has won awards for being such a great place to work, and I’m so excited to be joining their team. I’m going to get to do some of my work from home, with little Wrenn snoozing in the pack-and-play next to my desk. And, I’m going to get to wear jeans to work. Every day. Well, every day that I’m in the office – let’s be real, I’ll be wearing yoga pants on days I work from home.

I’m just a little bit excited to get to work in jeans. And yoga pants. Especially the yoga pants.

I have literally grown up at this job. I originally started here as a 21-year-old college intern, with two work shirts and one pair of slacks to my name, and not much else. I came back a year after I graduated to be their marketing director at the ripe old age of 23. Since then, I got a masters degree, built a house, got married, and had a baby. I have spent almost a third of my life in this place, working on this same hallway. Some of these people were in my wedding.

My dad gave me some good advice the last time I changed jobs – you know, a decade ago (how am I that old? really?). He told me that they may not remember the way you came, but they’ll always remember the way you leave. And so I will work hard until I turn off the lights and lock my office door for the very last time. I am so thankful for the opportunities this job has afforded me, the people I met here, and the things I have learned. Working at a hospital is so different from anywhere else – it’s like a small city. No matter what time you come to work (and trust me, I worked some odd hours), there is always someone there. I was always comforted by that reality.

In the meantime, since it feels like the first day of school, I guess it’s time to start planning my first day of work outfit. I can promise you one thing… I will be wearing JEANS.

I’m ready for a new adventure.

Back at work… And the winner is…

44701_10151622250736120_1198715178_n

Reflections on my first week back at work…

1. I miss my baby girl. That goes without saying. However, I survived my first week away from her. We both made it, and each day it got a little easier. I mean, sort of.

2. Man alive, packing for a newborn and a nursing mom each morning is like packing to go to Europe. I’ve got a check list for both of us, and I think between the two of us, there are at least five bags a day, plus a bouncy seat and car seat that travels with her. Each day has gotten easier – the first night it took me an hour to pack, and now it takes us about 10 minutes.

3. Pumping at work is a bit of an adventure. It’s like having one of those “if they only knew what was going on behind this closed door” moments. Frankly, it’s strange. But I’ve started to get my system down… thanks to a hands-free pump I don’t miss a beat with work, other than a very elaborate set up-tear down if you know what I mean. The strangest place I’ve had to pump so far was in a patient room in the ER after an event.

4. Speaking of pumping (man, this is turning into a women’s only blog, huh?), I’ve been trying to go to the gym on my way home from work (Mr. Right picks up Wrenn so I have a window of time before they get home), but it’s been blazing hot in Texas and I’ve been afraid to leave that precious milk in my car, even if it is in a cooler. And so, every night I carry my little cooler with me into the gym and leave it next to whatever machine I’m doing cardio on. Again, it’s one of those “if they only knew what was in this bag” moments.

bag

I guess motherhood is full of secret “if they only knew” moments. Like, “If they only knew there’s dried spit-up on this shirt” or “If they only knew that I was covered in poop 30 minutes ago” or “If they only knew that I haven’t washed my hair in three days” or “If they only knew I’ve been awake since 3:30 this morning.” On second thought… I bet they do know. Whoever they is.

5. I really missed my coworkers. It was so fun to get to see them after 10 weeks. I work with some really great people.

office

6. I had 4,500 emails waiting for me when I returned. A week later and I’m down to just 2,000. In my defense, I didn’t have access to emails the first two days I was back, so technically I’ve plowed through 2,500 in just four days. I’m a machine.

7. Mr. Right called me Friday afternoon to tell me that he had bought me a 90-minute deep tissue massage for that evening. Like seriously, he’s the best husband ever. What a perfect way to end your first “week” (as in, two days) back at work.

8. While I was getting my massage, my masseuse told me, “I wish there were more people like your husband in this world. I agree, Ms. Masseuse. I agree. He’s obviously a client of hers too – he’s actually won over everyone who works there. I’m a proud wife.

9. I’m thankful for family who have watched Baby Girl while I worked. My sister, my mother-in-law, and Mr. Right have each take turns keeping her. And they send me pictures like this, which make it easier to make it through the day… (Wrenn with her cousin, who adores her. And do you recognize the quilt I made him? That vintage reproduction fabric is some of my favorite I’ve ever worked with.)

photo-236

For the record: cute babies + my quilts = me very, very happy.

9. Yeah… not sleeping so much. Wrenn had a growth spurt that coincided with my first two days back and woke up several times during the night, and then this week I’ve had two mornings where I woke up at 3:30 and 4:00 a.m. and never went back to sleep. That makes for a long day. As I wrote on Facebook the other day, I’m making it thanks to a little bit of coffee and a lot of denial. I can’t complain when she only wakes up once a night, I just need to learn how to go back to sleep even when I only have 45 minutes before my alarm goes off for the day.

10. The best feeling in the whole world is when I wake Wrenn up in the morning, and she looks up at me with this big smile, like she’s saying “Oh hi mama – I’m so glad to see you!” I get the same smile when I see her after work. Oh my goodness, how it makes me melt.

1237543_10151615815351120_930546799_n

One week down and we’ve all survived. I think we’re going to make it.

By the way – thanks to everyone who left the sweet comments on my last post. I realize I’m not the first – or last – girl to be a working mama, and it helps to have friends who have walked that road before me, and stay-at-home friends who have offered to fill in whenever we get in a bind. I am truly a very blessed girl – thank you.

I’m so excited to announce the winner of the Be Still print give-away.

be still - winner

The Latest, The End of Maternity Leave, & A Give-Away

photo-228

Sometimes I worry that all folks pull from this blog is that motherhood is hard, that baby has colic, that life is hectic, and I’m overwhelmed.

But our life is so much more than that. And let me tell you, Month Two with my baby girl has been So. Much. Fun. It’s like we woke up around Week 5 and everybody understood each other (I think the fact that we also started sleeping more has a lot to do with it). We have found a routine. She smiles and coos and is so cute I can barely stand it. She only wakes up once a night (PRAISE THE LORD, HALLELUJAH). And we’ve found some ways to help soothe the colicky spells – not totally eliminate them, but GREATLY reduce their frequency and duration.

But more about little Wrenn in her Two Month post, which will be soon. This post is just a hodge podge of what we’ve been up to.

photo-234

I’m back at the gym and loving it. Because my pregnancy was so darn difficult I hadn’t worked out a bit in 10 months, which meant that those first few workouts were humbling. Like, the first time I tried to do crunches and push-ups I could barely do five (those poor stomach muscles had been stretched to the max). But it’s amazing how quickly your body gets strong – each day I feel more and more like my old self.

I’ve never been one to love working out, but now going to the gym has become my “me time” and something I actually enjoy. I still haven’t figured out how I’m going to fit it in after I return to work, but we’ll take it one week at a time.

photo-231

In addition to working out, I’m also trying to eat healthier to drop the last 15 pounds of baby weight that I’m still holding onto. Mr. Right, his parents and I are doing the My Fitness Pal app on our phones, which tracks your fitness and food intake. I’m a fan because I get an extra 500 calories a day from nursing – which certainly helps when I feel like a little splurge.

photo-230

We took another roadtrip last week, this time to Midland to celebrate our niece and nephew’s birthdays (she’s four, he’s one). This time we felt like pros, knowing what to pack (and packing lighter), and Wrenn did great in the car. The only bad part was when she puked ALL OVER me (dripped down my shirt and gathered into a pool in my pocket) and Mr. Right was gone with the car and hotel key and I had to wear my vomit-soaked clothes for three hours. Yep, rookie mom mistake. I’m learning.

AggieBaby

Mr. Right and I have managed to have several fun date nights without Wrenn. As much as I love my baby, let’s face it – mama loves her date nights. I think Mr. Right kind of enjoys them too! Now that they’re less frequent, they seem to be “bigger” – we’ve done dinner at Reata (my fave) and Texas de Brazil (his favorite), as well as a night at a movie tavern (I think dinner WHILE watching a movie was invented for nursing moms who live in three-hour chunks of time).

photo-232

Speaking of nursing… (boys close your ears)… I’m now taking a few supplements because Little Miss has suddenly become a VERY good eater and frankly I’m having trouble keeping up. One of my vitamins makes you smell like maple syrup. All. The. Time. It’s like the International House of Pancakes over here in our home. But I guess there are worse things to smell like then my favorite kind of breakfast. (If you’re wondering, I’m taking Fenugreek and Mother’s Milk tea, along with chugging gallons of water.)

stll1

I’m headed back to work tomorrow. I’m a little sad to leave Wrenn (a lot sad, actually), but also excited to see my work friends. I’m not really sure how the morning routine is going to go, and I’m pretty sure it’ll take me an hour to pack both of our bags tonight, but we’ll figure it out. I know it will get easier… but in the meantime you won’t waste a prayer on me this week. I’m determined not to cry!

be still

In honor of another transition, I’m holding a give-away for a free “Be Still” print in my shop. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post – it can be encouragement about going back to work, a motherhood tip, or just a random “hi” – whatever it is, just leave it and I’ll hold a drawing on Sunday.

PS–Mr. Right has added a few of his own creations to the shop – leather goods! Go check it out – I’ve used one like this one for almost two years now and LOVE it.

This time, the quilt is for me

I’ve been quilting for five years and have never made a quilt for myself.

Until now.

Meet my Sentimental Log Cabin Quilt.

photo-216

It’s sentimental because I used scraps from past quilts that mean a lot to me. The blue polka dot on the center of each square, along with the zebra print, are from Wrenn’s first quilt. The green and blue striped squares, along with the blue backing, are fabrics that Mr. Right brought me home from his trip to India. The red polka dot stripe on the back is from my nephew Jack’s quilt. And the gray binding is from my mom’s quilt.

photo-217

This was my first log cabin quilt. I loved it. I took a jelly roll and cut each strip of fabric long-ways and then just started piecing. I did the log cabin squares while about 11 months pregnant, and then pieced the rest of the quilt and finished it after Baby Girl was born. Quilting has changed now that I have a sleeping baby in a bouncy seat sitting next to my machine.
As an aside – I read that babies grow used to certain sounds in the womb and those same sounds don’t bother them once they’re born. I’m starting to think it must be true because Wrenn sleeps right through the sound of my sewing machine, which is pretty loud. She also sleeps through the dog barking, but certain, less familiar sounds will wake her up with a jerk. It’s so fascinating.

photo-218

Back to the quilt… I quilted it on the diagonal, and I love the way it turned out. I didn’t draw out my lines before quilting, which means that there are a lot of imperfections and crooked lines, but lesson learned. Besides, I tend to think that small imperfections are what make homemade quilts so special. If I wanted perfect, I’d just buy a mass-produced one at the store. But that’s boring.

photo-219

I pieced the back because I didn’t have enough blue fabric to cover the whole back, and I love the way it turned out. I’m starting to love pieced backs more than plain ones these days. Again, each one of those fabrics holds special meaning to me.

I haven’t measured it yet, mostly because I have a squirmy 8-week-old baby who is sitting in my lap as I type this, and I just don’t want to put her squishy little self down. It’s the size of a large throw – I’ll be using it to snuggle under while I watch TV on the couch. Mr. Right already has one I made for him, so now everybody in this house has their own, just in time for the cold fall weather to hit.

photo-220

And that’s my Sentimental Log Cabin Quilt! Now that I’ve made myself one, I’m getting greedy and thinking about another one I want to make for our new bed. Oh, I didn’t mention our new bed? Stay tuned to find out why God wanted me to have a king-size bed. It’s a good story.

Also, coming next week, another give-away. Who doesn’t love some free stuff?

Throwback Thursday

I’m starting a new feature on the blog – Throwback Thursday. I’ve been blogging since 2005 – that’s 56 years in blogging years. I started as a 24-year-old girl, a year into her new job (the same one I have eight years later), recovering from a recent break-up, renting a house with two girls and trying to figure out what life as an adult was all about.

It’s fun to look back and see how much I have changed – and how many things haven’t. Enjoy this post from August 25, 2005. (PS–The day before I had blogged about babysitting a screaming baby… a sign of what was to come, maybe?)

 ——————-Originally posted here—————————-

I think I have a babysitting hangover.  I woke up this morning and had to drag myself out of bed–I had lost all motivation for my day.  All day I have felt stressed, grumpy and on edge, after enduring all that screaming last night.  How do moms do it?  I can’t imagine repeating that night after night after night.  I don’t think I have it in me–I’m a babysitting whimp!

My dog is great though–he’s a bit on edge after sharing a house with the screaming baby last night, so I’ve had to show him extra attention.  I think we’re both going to go to bed early and by the time we wake up, things will be easier, more relaxed.  Dogs are so much easier than babies.

I have found one of the toughest things in life might be finding nude-colored open toed high heels at the end of August.  I’m wearing a navy cocktail dress to my work event on Saturday night and have no shoes to go with it.  I’ve looked in several stores, and there’s nothing in nude except the orthopedic grandma shoes.  I wonder if anyone would notice?

Saturday will be my first black tie event to attend dateless since I took this job.  At first I was excited at the opportunity to be a social butterfly, floating from table to table talking to community friends without worrying about entertaining my date.  Now I’m thinking about how I will have to drive by myself to and from the event, walk up by myself… I’m not going to think about it.  I’m a strong single woman and have no problem playing bingo in a dazzling navy dress by myself.  This time if I win big I won’t have to split my prizes with anyone!

So me and my nude orthopedic shoes will have a fabulous time.  Who needs men anyway?

Happy

New in the shop – Ruffle Butt Onesies & a New Print

I’ll admit it – I’m a sucker for a baby with a ruffle butt. I just can’t help myself (also – that smile! makes a mama melt)…

ruffle butt

Which is why I’ve decided to make a few ruffle butt onesies for the shop. These particular onesies are size 0-3 months made of organic cotton and perfect for a baby gift for that next shower. I added a few yo-yo’s to the front because besides chevron and ruffles, well, yo-yo’s are one of my favorite things.

turquoise

(link to listing in the shop)

yellow gray

(link to listing in the shop)

Everything on the onesie has finished edges, which means no fraying. If these sell quickly, I’ll be adding some more, but they’ll be slightly more expensive.

Also, if you’re in the market for a baby gift, don’t forget this print, which is available for instant download (which means no waiting for shipping):

Quiver Full2

Now excuse me while I go kiss on my baby model some more…
