Book Rec

Since I can't figure out how to post pictures on here now, I might as well tell you about my new favorite book that I'm reading.  It's called "Confessions of a Scary Mommy, an Honest and Irreverent Look at Motherhood- The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly."  It's by Jill Smokler.

I can't put this book down.  First of all, for those who truely know me, you know I am always trying to figure this mommy thing out.  Am I playing with her enough?  Disciplining properly? Etc, Etc.  And it alway seems like everyone else has it all together and no one likes to complain about mommy issues.  I won't name any names.  ;)  But this book just keeps it real and tells it like it is.  Each chapter starts off with anonymous moms telling their confessions like:  "I confess that most days I have no idea what I'm doing."  and " I tried for 7 years to get pregnant and now I wonder if it's worth it." 

It's hard to read at times, but so true.  Motherhood is HARD.  But it's also the best thing ever.  And what's better than knowing that everyone is struggling right along with you?  :) I recommend it for all Mommies!

Swimming!

Swim Lessons!

Blogspot is not my friend recently.  Yesterday I had a whole post dedicated to Audrey's swim lessons, but it wouldn't let me post.  So I will try again today with less pictures.  Audrey is taking private lessons at her friend Madi's house with 2 other friends and it is so much fun.  Audrey has really taken to it and is a little daredevil!  She let's Ms. Kristi drop her to the bottom and she swims her way up!  She can also swim from where Ms. Kristi drops her to the step.  It's amazing and Audrey is just so proud of herself.  This is one of my favorite mommy experiences yet.  Seeing my daughter excel at something that she loves! 

Happy Mother's Day

I can't believe this is "technically" my 5th Mother's Day!  I found out I was pregnant with Auds a few days before Mother's Day five years ago.  That is crazy to me.  It's been the best experience of my life and I am so proud to be the mom of this um, spirited little girl!  :)  She really amazes me daily.  Today has been  a wonderful Mother's Day so far.  I got to sleep in, go for a run, and had a great lunch with Audrey, my mom, and Eric.  And Audrey was just so well behaved I was beaming.  Now she is actually in her room having quiet time!  But the BEST part of today was when I put her down a few minutes ago and she hugged me and said, "Mom you're my favorite person ever!"  *love*

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mommies, mommy figures, and mommies in waiting out there.  :)

Amy, Dallas, TX

I am *trying* to link up with Kelly's Korner today.  She has a wonderful blog that brings people together every Friday.  Today's link up is to make new friends.  I am in Richardson, TX and would love to meet some fellow Mommies who live in the area!  My daughter Audrey is 3.  You can read more on our blog to find out more about us.  But to sum it up, I am a single working mommy (1st grade teacher) who loves to spend my free time playing with Audrey, reading, going to church, and working out.  :)
