Day 10: Today’s mom focus: joy. It’s Saturday, Logan went back to sleep after eating at 7am (that was a 1st), Doug was home and cooked pancakes for breakfast, the kids were good, and Carolina pulled out a win…it was easy to be joyful today. Some days aren’t so easy, but… “This is the day… Continue reading 30 Day Mom Challenge: Day 10

Day 6: Bake, make, or buy them their favorite food. When I asked Macy and Steven what they wanted to eat this is what they said: Macy – ice cream (probably because she already knew she was getting some after school. When I asked her the day before it was peaches. I think her favorite thing… Continue reading 30 Day Mom Challenge: Days 6-9

Day 5: Tell yourself, “He’s only __ years old. He’s still a child.” Then, treat him that way. This is one that I’ve been trying to focus on since day 1 mostly for Macy. I think I expect her to act older than she is because she’s the oldest…what I fail to remember is that… Continue reading 30 Day Mom Challenge: Day 5

As many of you know, I (Doug)  rarely post anything on the “Mom” blog, but I would like to take some time to share a little “find” that I had this morning while cleaning out my file cabinet. While throwing away some old manuals, I stumbled upon an old piece of paper with my Mom’s… Continue reading A page from a blog(Before there were PC's)

Day 4: Kiss your child while they are sleeping Well, Macy and Steven sleep in cribs…I’m not that tall or bendy, so kissing them while they’re sleeping isn’t going to happen at this point in their lives. Logan, however, is a sleeping kiss waiting to happen. How could you resist kissing this sweet sleeping baby??

Macy and Steven hated our original swing. I’d hear other mom’s go on and on about how their babies would sleep hours in their swings…never happened in our house. My mom borrowed a cradle swing (one that can swing side to side or front to back) while we were in MS last summer and once… Continue reading Logan's Swing

Day 1: Ask “What is one thing we can do together this month?” Honestly I’m still trying to figure this one out.  There are a lot of things that (in a perfect world) I’d love for us to do as a family, but figuring out something that’s actually possible for us to do this month… Continue reading 30 Day Mom Challenge: Days 1-3

All of the Adam kids were excited about the kickoff of Carolina football! Macy is ironically the hardest of the 3 to photograph…the girl is QUICK!!  Thankfully I was able to get one decent picture of her cuteness…because the girl is cute in her garnet and black… Then there’s Steven who is nothing but one… Continue reading My Little Gamecocks

Yep, a couple of weeks late, but better late than never. 😉 Height: 21 1/4in. (17th percentile) Weight: 7lbs. 14oz. (4th percentile) Head: 37cm. He had his Synagis (RSV shot) evaluation a week and a half after his 1 month appointment and he had already gained another pound! He’s growing like a weed!! We won’t… Continue reading Logan's 1 month stats

I saw this on my friend Conner’s blog and thought I’d try it.  I say “try it” not because I think I’ll purposely not accomplish the daily challenges, but there’s a good chance my sleep deprived brain will completely forget that I’m supposed to be meeting a goal every day or that there is even… Continue reading 30 Day Mom Challenge
