A huge reason I dislike social media is due to mom-shaming and the competitive discussions between mothers. I have had to get out of a lot of mom Facebook groups and unfriend people due to that. Death threats due to cloth diapers and circumcision? That is awful and not something I want to be a part of.

SO, maybe I fell short and snapped back to a mom being forth coming about something to do with Brynn. I know that I would never put Brynn in danger and that I was not doing anything wrong. This mother jumped to conclusions before knowing the facts. ALL because of a photo posted on Facebook. Like, give me a break.

Bottom line, as mothers we should be here to lift each other up and encourage each other. Days get hard. Really hard. Mothers are the ones who know just where we are and how we feel. I have no earthly idea why it needs to be a competition of who's baby is bigger or did things first. Every baby is different and every parenting style is different.

I pray this mother community would start to build each other up and not tear each other down.

European Christmas Markets of 2014

I feel like it's only right to make a post reminiscing on all the gorgeous Christmas markets we went to this year. Wishing America had more markets with all the tasty food, drinks, different souvenir type gifts, and tons of activities. We indulged in tons of it this year and I couldn't be any happier about that. We are sad to see them go and can not wait until next years!

Luxembourg City

Trier, Germany 

Paris, France

We also saw the markets in Brussels and Bruges, but I was silly and cold so didn't take pictures. There was lots of waffles and fun in around those markets as well!

All of you need to get your booties to a European Christmas Market ASAP!

A little throwback to Prague, Czech Republic. It was one of my favorites from back in 2012. So, I would start there.


Well, I'm off to go scoop up my mom from the airport for a 10 day visit! Excuse me while I become MIA and soak up every minute. Have a great weekend lovies.
