Momma's Home Intro

 


Being a stay at home mom has it's struggles, but it also has it's beautiful moments. Here will be my daily (or at least every couple days) journal full of complaints about my husband, the daily never-ending chores, and anything else I can think of that pushes my buttons. Also, it will be full of small moments that I enjoyed throughout the day too, it's important to see the silver lining of every single day.

As of right now, our little bundle of joy isn't here yet, but that doesn't mean there are no struggles of being stuck at home while growing him. I mean just imagine being the size of a whale, stuck at home in a third floor, one bedroom apartment with no alcohol. It's honestly a nightmare. Not to mention our fur babies that each have their own personality as well. 

There's Nova-Jean, who goes by many different nicknames that my fiance and I have bestowed upon her, some of them being: Nova-bean, Jennison and Jeanie. She is a pit bull/chocolate lab mix and is one of the most beautiful dogs in the world. Don't let the adorable face fool you though, she can be quite naughty when she feels like it. 

Next in line would be the notorious Dexter, named after a childhood cartoon character because he is always up to no good. His nicknames include Dexy, Nermal and Tokyo Drift. As you can tell from his nicknames he has quite the personality. This small grey cat may be adorable, but he is smarter than he looks, and is very fast. Skrt. Skrt.

Last but not least we have Prince and does he ever live up to his name. He is a long haired and very large cat. Both Josh (my fiance) and I think he is part Maine Coon, we have no way of knowing for sure. Prince is sassy, fluffy and very vocal. Those memes you see about the death stare in cats? That's Prince's specialty. He loves to be cuddled but don't make eye contact and don't touch him where he does not want to be touched or you may see death in the near future. 

Now that you've met the gang, it should be a little easier to follow along with my many complaints during the day. It's a small family, my fiance and I with our fur babies and our soon to be newborn, but it's everything I've ever asked for. So although this section of the blog will mostly be about the struggles of being stuck at home, I really couldn't ask for a more peaceful and fulfilling life.

Day 2 - Crochet Collection

Image
After some well needed rest, it's time to pick up that crochet hook and try again. I've pulled out what I did yesterday and now I can start clean again. Now that I've done this over and over again, I don't think I'll be needing the instructional video quite as much as I did before.  Okay, after about 20 minutes, I realized I went wrong somewhere again. This time instead of pulling the whole thing apart, I pulled until it looked like it was a normal square again then worked on from there. I think I'm getting the swing of things now. Crochet is repetitive and follows a nice pattern, I'm beginning to be able to catch when I make a mistake and fix it immediately instead of continuing on without noticing something until it looks like a giant pile of knots again. And we have a partial victory everyone! After completing the video tutorial, I have decided to indeed make a blanket instead of a sweater. This blanket is still far more complex that anything else I'v...

Day 1 - Crochet Collection

Image
Today marks Day 1 of attempting to crochet. Although I have picked up the crochet hook before and attempted to make a blanket, this is first whole hearted attempt to make something slightly more advanced.  Now since I have a hook and some yarn already, and I don't have the money for more supplies at the moment I think I'll start by doing some research about what I can make with the sizes I have now. I'm no expert by any means but I know that the size of the hook and yarn matters depending on what you are making. Okay, so, one google search later and I'm realizing this may be more difficult than I thought. There are so many different types of stitches. This is insane. The only thing I think I've done before is the single stitch, and I'm not even 100% sure if that's actually what I was doing.  I found something called a Granny Square sweater, it's supposed to be an oversize sweater with some sort of pattern (probably squares). Upon further inspection, it l...

Knocked Up

  As you can probably tell from the title, this movie is not for children or young adults. There is nudity, inappropriate language, drug use and sex just to name a few reasons. However, it is on my list because it stars Seth Rogen. It also stars Katherine Heigl, you may know her from the hit drama Grey's Anatomy. A few other recognizable faces show up throughout the movie as well such as Paul Rudd, Jonah Hill, Ken Jeong, Craig Robinson, Steve Carrell, B.J Novak, Adam Scott and so many more awesome actors. (Those are the just the ones I recognize). I really enjoyed this movie because the story line is mostly accurate and believable. Other than the fact that if you call your one night stand and tell them you're pregnant, they probably aren't going to react the same way Seth Rogen's character (Ben Stone) did. The arguments, the hormones, the pregnancy, they're all just about to a T. At least it was for me, personally. Moving on from the reality of the movie, it's j...
