What I've learned being a mom.

I realized that I am a lot different now, being a mom than I was before. I have learned a lot so far. Becoming a mom has made me a better person!

I have learned what patience really is. I thought I was a pretty patient person before but after having Averie, my patience have really been tested. Breastfeeding was the number one factor for me. So now I know just how patient I am. 

I have excelled in the art of multitasking. I have learned to hold a baby, do the dishes and eat, all at the same time. One arm is stronger than the other.

Who needs sleep anyways? Pshh.
This is probably not the healthiest but I have  learned to function off of 3 hours of sleep. Sometimes sleep just isn't an option. When baby is awake and wants to play, you play!

I have ninja like reflexes.
This is an awesome thing to learn. Averie just started sitting up by herself so shes still kind of wobbley. She'll start to tip over and out of no where I'll catcher her with one hand. Pretty cool huh?

I can kick it into turbo speed.
When you have a screaming hungry baby you learn to make a six ounce bottle in less than 45 seconds.  I also learned how to fall asleep real fast when she takes her naps. I don't waste any time when I get a chance at more sleep. 

A few minutes of alone time.
I've learned to really appreciate the few minutes I get to myself, in the bathroom before my kid notices I'm not right beside her and starts to freak out.

Is this really worth it?
I've learned to pick and choose battles between other people and I, especially my hubby.  My daughter doesn't need to be around any kind of tension. She really can sense it!

Best wife award goes to me.  Haha
Believe it or not, becoming a mom has made me a better wife to my husband.  Since having Averie, the time that him and I spend together is very limited.  He works all day,  I take care of Averie all day and at the end of the day,  we're both just exhausted but if you don't find a way to make time for your spouce, you could lose that spark between you two.  I find time every night for my husband even if it's something simple like cooking him dinner or having a 30 minute conversation with him. 

The most important thing...
Having Averie has taught me a special kind of love.  An unconditional love. A love that will never change. It's amazing how much you could love another human being as much as you love your child. 

Becoming a mom has definitely changed me. Best thing that's ever happened to me.

Married To A Mechanic: 8 things to expect. 🔧

Since I've started blogging, I've only blogged about my husband personally like once or twice, so this is dedicated to my mechanic husband. Erich has been working on cars since he was about 14 years old, so 20 years. He does it for a living but on diesels. He does it in hi spare time as well so basically, all the freaking time. Here's what to expect if you date a mechanic. Car Talk Mechanics talk about cars like 24/7; Parts, make and model, they even try to explain to you how certain parts work. If you tell them you don't understand, they will explain again, in depth with more detail, which is even more confusing. Either go on Google and learn a little bit or pretend you understand what they are talking about. Oil & Grease White anything is against any mechanics beliefs. I have to clean the walls, counters, appliances, PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING at minimum of 3 times a week. They are usually covered from head to toe in oil and grease. Honestly, I thin...

Spring Time Means Allergies!

Sprint time is the worst season for me. I hate this season honestly. My allergies are horrible during spring, like when I say horrible, I mean face swollen, constant nose blowing. The whole awful nine yards. Just the other day, I swear I sneezed about a million and one times and then lost my voice. We just moved into a house that had ben vacant for two months before we moved in, so there was two months of dust accumulated on the floors and walls. Needless to say, my first day in our new house consisted of a lot of sneezing and wheezing. Since spring is just around the corner and that means so are allergies, I made a list of home remedies for allergy relief that has really helped me and hopefully will help you too. Honey Local raw honey, it builds your immune system up to what's around you. You can get this at places like Whole Foods. Make sure it is local honey though.
