Stop judging me. I may be the pot calling the kettle black here, because it is human nature to make judgements, but in regards to this situation, I’d like you to stop or at least make silent judgements, like me the rest of the world does. Last Thursday was a particularly hectic morning. Riley protested…… Continue reading Dear Starbucks Lady…
With Thanksgiving two days away, most people’s mouths are watering at the thought of a perfectly cooked, golden brown, turkey with all the fixings. There are commercials galore telling you how to keep your bird moist.. cook it upside down… put butter under the skin… blah blah blah. Honestly, I don’t care. First of all,…… Continue reading Dreaming of anything but turkey…
Technically, this Sunday will be my second Mother’s Day as a mom (if you don’t count being a mom to my fur-babies that is). Riley was born a few weeks before Mother’s Day last year, but the whole experience was so brand spanking new that I was too overwhelmed to really enjoy it. This year…… Continue reading Thank you, Mom

After that,…… Continue reading Now boarding those with OCD and small children…

I guess that is a failure in itself…failing to follow-through before I even start. The ultimate fail. Well done, Jenna, well done.…… Continue reading New Year’s Resolutions
I’m back! I know it has been a while since my last post, but I was busy baking my little bun in the oven, followed by pushing her out into this wonderful, yet scary world. Riley Grace Stewart was born on April 17, 2013 at 1:53pm. She weighed 6.6 lbs and was 19.5 inches long.…… Continue reading New Mom Problems
So, I just entered my third trimester and it is really starting to sink in that in just a few short months Pat and I are going to be parents! Eeek! If that wasn’t scary enough… there are so many things that we still need to do! When I first got pregnant, I felt like…… Continue reading Joys of Impending Motherhood…
For anyone who does not already know, I’m pregnant! Pat and I are expecting a baby girl in April and couldn’t be more thrilled. As someone who suffers from extreme anxiety and OCD, being pregnant has brought about a whole new world of neurosis! I was told that my anxiety may get better or worse…… Continue reading If “what ifs” could kill…
I talk too much. So I thought I’d compile a bunch of photos that explain the way I’ve been feeling! I totally agree. Shopping makes me happy. Don’t you want me to be happy? If only it were that simple. Trying to remember this when my OCD is flaring and trying…… Continue reading Words to live by…
