Introducing Our New Little Addition!

My husband just about fell over when I told him on Father's Day that even though we thought we were done, we are in fact, adding one more to the family. Let's just say he may have been a little a hell of a lot relieved when he found out THIS was the new addition!

The kids are THRILLED with the new "baby".  His name is Charles Barkley (husband totally named him) and he has a successful Instagram account HERE that you can see many more adorable photos. Trust me, if you want to smile, follow his account!

He's actually a pretty successful dog model and is the face of several companies already... I mean how can you not!!!??

He is just the sweetest little pup in the world and even though I MUST be outta my MIND to think I can handle one more thing.... I did it anyway.

Motherhood is Tough + a Luxury Watch Giveaway!

No one could ever have prepared me for how tough it is being a mother.  For the sleepless nights of worrying, the anxiety of every decision, the heartbreak of watching your baby sick with a fever. The amount of research that goes into every decision from which toy or bike to get them to what school or daycare would be best for them.  The antics of a boy (no matter the age) that give you gray hair every other minute of the day.  Or the emotional cycles of a 3 and 4 year old girl that I can only assume is a learning experiment for puberty or their first heartbreak.

And you know what else no one could have prepared me for?  The love.  The absolute heart wrenching, hurricane force love that you feel for them.  The feeling of being wrapped so tightly in their arms for that good morning greeting, the laughter of playing hide and seek, the giggles of giving them a bath and jumping on the bed naked afterward, the sleepy murmurs of love spoken as they finally drift off to sleep.

Time is something that we never seem to have enough of.
The days are long but the years are short. 
That quote sure meant a whole lot more the day I became a mother!
