About us!

Hello all and welcome to my mommy blog! I'm really excited to begin documenting my journey as a mother. My name is Belinda. I am 27 years old, married to my high school sweetheart Jeff for 5-yrs this December and we have a beautiful two-year old girl named Chloe.
This is us!
Mommy-hood has come as quite a shocker to the both of us. Having a child completely changed our dynamic but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love being a mother and most recently a stay-at-home mother. I lost my job this past March and it was actually the best thing that could have happened to me. When my husband and I were working we had to alternate between both our mothers to care for Chloe. My poor baby was quite nomadic, with no consistent babysitter because both our mothers are disabled and have numerous appointments.When I lost my job I was given the opportunity to being able to stay home with Chloe and give her consistent care and discipline. I've been able to instruct her and teach her new words, colors, shapes, etc. I've seen her grow and learn so quickly. It has been wonderful! I definitely do not want to go back to work! So I'm trying not to.

In this blog I plan to discuss life with Chloe and how that effects me and my husband. Life as a housewife and a small home business owner (I started as a distributor with It Works! Global, more about that later!). And of course the many hijinks and learning experiences with the little diva who calls herself "Yowee". lol.

How am I supposed to breathe with no air?

Having a toddler is one of the most difficult jobs I've undertaken to date. It is very time and energy consuming. Today was one of those days where I felt completely drained and overtaken by a three-foot tall terrorist. Today Chloe was extra needy, extra clingy, extra whiney and extra getting on my last nerve. Today she barely took a nap so I didn't get much time to myself in the afternoon. All I was able to do was eat some lunch. I tried to entertain her by taking her to the park and try to get out some extra energy, but I think it was counterproductive because she apparently became overly tired when we got home. From 5:45pm to about 9:30pm, she was all whines and cries, for no apparent reason at all. Well, I do know why. She was tired and didn't know how to relax and wind down. She barely napped and just couldn't find a way to keep calm. I tried to give her dinner first so she could be well fed and then I would eat when her father got home. She ate a small amo...

The "Big Bed"

Image
I put Chloe to bed last night a little before 10pm for the night. She went down with no problems. I told her a quick bed time story, sang twinkle twinkle little star, said "I Love you" and closed the door behind me. My husband and I stayed up late so we can do whatever we didn't get to do while she was awake and spend some time together talking and watching TV. Around 2am, we were getting ready to get to bed when we heard Chloe wake up with a cry. We turned off everything and went in to the room to soothe her and get ourselves to sleep as well. Upon entry into the room, a little someone was sitting up in her bed, wide eyed and bushy tailed. "Oh no," I thought to myself. I was tired and really didn't want to have to stay up any longer to get her sleepy again. I picked her up to soothe her. She had awoken from a nightmare. She said she dreamt with monsters and wanted to sleep in the "big bed". I put her between my husband and I. Selfishly I gues...

My little drama queen

Image
I don't think I've met a toddler with more sass and personality then my own daughter. She is the queen of dramatics and overacting. I might have to find a toddler acting class because I'm sure she can be a star. Why do I say this? Well miss thing has learned to roll her eyes but not only that she has also learned to faint on command. Now...I'm not an actress and don't have too much time for dramatic behavior so I have NO IDEA how this child learned these things. I watch the same shows she does...they don't faint! Yesterday she was in her father's arms. They were playing together. One thing leads to another, she doesn't like something he said to her...then she "fainted" in his arms. Literally let herself go limp, closed her eyes and opened her mouth a little. My husband shook her a little and she didn't move. We asked what was wrong and she didn't answer. We called out her name and she said "I can't hear you." (Still w...
