Oh hey!

Just figured I'd pop back on here quick... it's been N-I-N-E, yes 9, weeks! Like seriously, how does time pass that quickly?

Keeping it real?! THAT is real... it's been 9 weeks since I have been able to sit down and reflect on anything. This little girl sure does keep us busy! She turned 5 months yesterday and we cannot believe how much she has grown and changed already! 

That feeling behind struggle is real... I really wanted to keep up on this blog. Actually, there's a lot of things I wanted to keep up on... those photo bins? Yeah I'm on month 2 maybe?! Her baby book? HAH that's funny... keeping her clothes organized and packed away as soon as she's outgrown them? ok I've done decent at that! Working out? I wish!! Being a Mama is time consuming and exhausting! All the things I thought can get thrown out the window. But you know what? That's ok because I'm spending time with my baby girl and THAT is what's important.

I finally got to go enjoy an evening of golf for league, which was refreshing even though it was windy and cold. We chatted about a lot of random things, but we got on the topic of birthdays and I'm someone who likes to make people feel special and seen... I'm the one who wishes everyone on Facebook a Happy Birthday no matter what every single year, and family and close friends I do special posts for and probably a special gift too! I've missed SO many birthdays this year, and I feel SO guilty. But why? I'm sorry, but those things aren't important. There are a ton of people who don't do that. So why do we put so much pressure on ourselves to be everything to everyone? If I've missed your birthday this year, I truly apologize and it was not intentional. It seems like something so silly, yet weighs on me so heavy. (Well, that and a million other things.)

Anyway, I'm glad I'm back... and just to keep it real, I'm not sure when the next time I write will be - but I hope I keep getting inspired and if you have a topic you want me to cover let me know! I talk to a lot more Moms these days and man when we get going on a topic it can get pretty deep! I'm so thankful for good friends through this journey! If this seemed all over the place and spacey - bare with me, it's been an overwhelming few days!
