The warmer months are when a lot of mama's give birth, and my Instagram feed fills up with birth announcements and the tiniest of toes sprawled out on milestone blankets. It warms my heart to see a fresh face and a new mother's love for her sweet little baby. All those sweet cheeks and tiny toes make me want to pull out baby photos of the boys - back when they were sweet and didn't have such an attitude over the color of cup we give them at dinner time or how long they need to brush their teeth before bed. I can picture their sweet milk drunk faces pressed against my chest as they snored away peacefully with my arms wrapped around their bum and my hand stroking their soft and fluffy hair. Pretty soon, I hope, we'll have one more baby on the way that we can snuggle with like that! Incredibundles To ...
Life Update: May 2018
Hello friends! The House Of Burghardt has been busy, busy, busy! I started sharing my life updates with you, and then stopped once life seemed to take over. But that's usually what happens when you have children - they just need you! So I had to take a step back from this 'life update' series to tend to my little boys. But I'm bringing it back to share with you everything we've been handling lately and what we're planning. We're Still TTC That's right, we are still trying to conceive our 3rd little one. We're still early on in our journey, and we only started a few months ago. I usually wouldn't share this information with my readers until we knew for sure we were pregnant and past the 1st trimester - but I found that there are hundreds of women that read my blog that are going through the same journey. And while misery loves company, so does support. And in the spirit of sharing my life with my readers, I'm doing my best to be honest and raw. Chris and I have both been taking ...
I’m Strong Like My Mom This Mother’s Day
*Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Hefty®, however all opinions are my own, as always. This Mother's Day, my husband and I were discussing what we were like as young kids and how our mothers parented us (and how things have changed in the last few decades). I remember when I was younger, we used to live in Iwakuni, Japan when my dad was stationed there in the early 1990's. He was in the U.S. Marines, and my mother stayed at home with my sister and I. We weren't the easiest little girls to raise. My favorite thing to do as a toddler, apparently, was put on one of my sister's dresses and run out through the neighborhood while my mom was busy. The neighbors would call my mother and tell her, "Corinne's out running around, again..." I would scoot on home solemnly with my hand clutched in the neighbor's hand, the back collar of my dress still undone and my knees scuffed with dirt. When I stare at my morning cup of cold coffee that's somehow not already anchored to the ...
