What kind of Mom loses a baby book?

Saturday, May 18, 2013


I am that Type A parent that writes in her kids baby books, and records every moment of their lives in her heart defining notebook.

 I~ apparently am the type of mom that losses so called heart defining book. I have cried for days. No really~ sobbed until tears stopped coming out. 

As many of you know, my family travels the country for my job which means we frequently move. Our last move a box got left behind somewhere. In that box was one of the most important material things I own......my journal. 

I have written down my contractions from labor, their first words, first steps, and all of their medical information like illnesses and surgeries. All for 4 children! It was my 5 yr olds, progress through speech therapy and the time he first said "Mama" at 24 months. I remember my heart melting to the ground, as the tears flowed from the overwhelming joy. 

More importantly, I wrote in the journal EVERY SINGLE DAY for 3 months as my daughter fought for her life in the NICU. It was the record of her struggles and triumphs. It was the feelings I had when I first saw her beautiful mouth without a ventilator tube. It was the anger and hopelessness I had when she stopped breathing. It was a list of all her cardiology appointments and therapy sessions. It was her growth. It is gone. Just gone.

I have called, and back traced. It is gone. All I can imagine now is my box rotting away with maggots in some landfill. OH THE AGONY!! 

I simply can not remember it all- hence why I wrote it all down. I can't remember the first time the fourth baby sat alone or said her first word. 

WHO DOES THAT????? 


Any experience or words of encouragement here?


Disney Planes is flying high!! #DisneyPlanes

Friday, May 17, 2013

When I first heard about the new Disney Planes movie, I honestly thought it was one of those mini clips they do. I mean, REALLY how could anything compare to the awesomeness of Cars?? I have been to Cars Land(behind scenes) in California and personally raced through Route 66 on the Radiator Springs Racer ride so my personal connection with the movie is strong :)

disney, movie,

I am clearly more excited than the children to see the new Disney movie Planes which will be flying high on August 9th! Count me in~ it gets even better with a voice cast of Cedric and Dane Cook! Hello awesomeness!! Stay tuned for more information on the new movie!

HGF was not paid for this post. We have an ongoing relationship with Disney.
