It may take a village to raise a child but what about that child’s mother? The transition from childless and carefree to mama isn’t an easy one. For me, it was even tougher because I didn’t have many friends nearby who had been down this road. I wasn’t quite sure my friends understood the changes […] Read more…

The Drama of Being Mama
Now that I’m back to work I’m feeling all the pangs of being a working mom. Of course, I’m missing my babies. I am convinced there is never enough time in the day to do all that needs to be done. It’s almost as if a choice had to be made to either spend time […] Read more…
Putting on Listening Ears
My little guy continues to amaze me. He is so smart. I swear I wasn’t so smart at his age. I’m sure, scratch that, I know, everyone says that about their baby. Our struggle with him right now is getting him to listen. He wants to do his own thing and gets so carried away […] Read more…
My Favorite Day in November…
Thanksgiving may be over but I am still in that grateful space. We had a busy Thanksgiving long weekend over here. My husband has decided it was the shortest, long weekend ever! I agree!

De-Nile…It ain’t just an Egyptian River
I have been at home since May. That’s the month my bed rest began before my little princess was born in July. Now that she’s here, I’m having those feelings all over again. The same feelings I had when my son was born. I don’t want to leave her. I am more than getting used […] Read more…
Things Kids Say…
Our son wakes up at least a half hour before us every morning. He plops down in the bed with us until it’s time to get up and get moving. It’s pretty much my favorite time of the day. I love the little bonding we do even that early in the morning. One morning while […] Read more…
She’s Here! Dates + Deets
On May 11th, I was put on partial bed rest. My world came to a screeching halt in an instant. To go from my usual routine to just about being dormant was a real eye opener. I was still working from home and so thought if this was “bed rest”, perhaps I could get through […] Read more…
Guest Post: Work/ Life: Seeking Balance
Today, I’d like to welcome Patrice Washington to Bibs & Baubles! She’s a mom, career woman, and style maven! Her story of how having kids changed her is something I can totally relate too. You’re probably reading the title of this post and saying to yourself, “Here we go again. Some woman trying to tell […] Read more…
