Pre-Mommy I thought that Starbucks was great! Awesome atmosphere, awesome coffee, good friends...
Present-Mommy, I think that Starbucks is amaaaaaaaaazing. Go thru the drive thru to get an amazing cup of coffee that saves me from pulling my hair out. I may be crazy but that cup literally stops all time. I get to focus on something else besides the adorable, screaming baby. I love her but I need a reality check ever so often, and Starbucks does that for me.
Every Wednesday or Friday morning, I load the munchkin up, and make our way to Starbucks. I get my Cafe Mocha or a Soy Carmel Machiatto and we drive around while Mommy drinks her coffee.
It's a good arrangement..... Mommy gets coffee and Bekah gets a nap. Mommy gets to listen to music and see other people and know that she's not alone in the world... and Bekah gets to listen to music... and take a nap.
I like our arrangement.

Give me a "C"!
Communication.
It is an easy word to learn.
A harder concept to follow.....
Communication is where alot of newly married couples fail... And I won't let my husband and I fall into that category. I'm constantly praying about how I can be a better wife to him, to show him how much God loves him. Or even how I can do things that I'm not doing.
Communication isn't just words, it's actions, tone, posture... And I'm trying to improve every aspect of how I communicate to him in a Godly manner.

It's Almost Mother's Day
It’s almost Mother’s Day. Only a few short days away….
And this year… I finally understand what it’s like to be a mother.
All those years of getting flowers for mom, or chocolate, or even jewelry….. When all she really wanted was to spend time with her daughter.
Being a mother is about “love.” That’s the only way I can describe it. Moms = Love. As a mother, when we first feel life stirring inside of us, something clicks. We now understand that not only are we having a baby, but that baby also holds a piece of us. Every smile our child gives us, every laugh, even every cry is precious to us. Being a mother means not only giving birth to a baby, but it means giving a piece of your soul away when you give birth. That baby now holds a piece of your soul and heart.
I almost lost my daughter… I even almost lost myself. But I didn’t, thank God. My daughter now holds many pieces of my heart and soul.
In my opinion, on Mother’s Day, we should celebrate the life of our children. Because it is our children who make us who we are as mothers. Without them, where would we be? Without them, would we be able to feel as deeply as we do now… love as deeply?
Sorry, but it’s my daughter who taught me to love, and it’s my daughter who taught me how to feel. I knew nothing of these things until I felt her kicking in my womb.
It’s almost Mother’s Day, and I’m going to celebrate it with my daughter. Celebrate her life.
Just Born. Almost 6 weeks early.
Now. 8 Months Old.
