Back in full mom mode today! I was gone this past weekend at my best friend’s bachelorette party, which was so much fun. I knew I wanted to do something fun with the kids today on my first day back home! Side note: so thankful for grandparents and our kids aunt and uncle for rounding... Continue Reading →
Our little Payton is currently getting three teeth that I am aware of, and oh my goodness her diaper changes are not fun currently! Poor little babe has the worst rash, and sobs when I go to change her. I checked to see if we had any oatmeal bath, and even asked my mom but... Continue Reading →
I just recently discovered that you can follow hashtags on Instagram. I assume it’s been around for a while but I never really got into it! On my blog Instagram account @nextplaywithmrs.j, I recently started following #michiganmama. It’s actually been really neat! I’ve been able to connect with other moms all over the country, but...

It's hard to believe that Payton is eight weeks old! It's been a whirlwind becoming a mom of two. Each day is different, and some days are better than others of course! I've had several moms ask me what some of my favorite things are that I use for Payton, so I decided to make... Continue Reading →
It's been three weeks since our little Payton entered this crazy world! It has been quite the adjustment being a stay-at-home mom with two kids, but I think we are finally getting the hang of things. I will be totally honest, for the first couple weeks it was absolutely "survival mode." As in one day... Continue Reading →
"For this child I have prayed, and the Lord has granted the desires of my heart." 1 Samuel 1:27 The last week of my pregnancy I was pretty grouchy... just being honest!
