I am sure you have noticed no new posts for a few weeks.

I’ve been trying to get a massive Skincare routine post out, but it’s taking longer than I expected.

Add to that Lexi’s first cold 2 weeks ago, then roseola virus she caught as soon as she recovered from the cold, then crazy number of guests (My Daily Mom girls and their babies were visiting), then trying to recover from that and finally nearing the end of the 50 Days of Giveaways has left me little time for this blog of mine.

So I figured I’d take the month of May off to regroup, finish off a few things and get caught up on some posts. I’ll be scheduling a ton of posts for June while  I am away from the blog to get a bit ahead.

I will post two posts before I “leave”: the skincare post and the Clek review, because I know some readers have been waiting on those.

Otherwise, we are all doing great, working hard, having fun, taking lots of pics and developing, learning and loving. (with an occasional break down here and there on my part from lack or time and too much to do… haha oh life!)

I had a low day today.

Our Vine videos from the beginning. It’s a bit slow in the beginning, but gets much cuter half way through.

Here is the best of the best from December I hadn’t gotten around to posting.

{I am not sure how I missed Decemeber so completely, so I am going back to that. I also have both January and February scheduled to post, so I don’t miss them this time}

DECEMBER {age reference: 10 months}

Daily Mom is live!

We did it!

P.S. On a TAOMAB note, I finally got my laptop back and the normal posting will resume on here next week. I will be spending the weekend catching up on some posts I’ve been dying to write.

I am so happy right now! Love you all!

The time has come for you guys to learn about what it is I have been working on so hard for the last 6 months. FEBRUARY 28th!

DAILY MOM

I’ve mentioned this name in passing a few times, but I doubt many of you noticed or paid attention. However it is now a huge part of my life that I am incredibly excited about. It took a lot of work and it’s almost here and you, guys, get to be the first ones to see it. A new portal that will hopefully stand out in the sea of mommy-oriented websites. I first came upon the idea for the website when I was sick of wading through hundreds of useless posts that sucked me in and wasted my time on big corporate website ( you know the ones I am talking about, those with scandalous news and celebrity gossip).  One post that has the potential of helping me as a mom and a woman among 10 posts of useless (but admittedly entertaining content). I wondered if there was a place for a website that doesn’t try to entertain, but tries to help. I instantly thought of Pinterest and how awesome of a service that is. My next thought was “I wish there was a blog like Pinterest, where all that awesomeness was delivered to me daily in a blog format into my email or RSS feed.”

DING DING DING

(that was the lightbulb over my head) Now over a year later after the initial idea and 6 months of grueling work along with my kick ass team of moms, Daily Mom is here.

So what is Daily Mom?

This is how we define it!

I feel like I need to update you guys on what’s going on and why I am sort of MIA.

Alexis’ first birthday was an awesome celebration and I cannot wait to post gazillion pictures of it.

So I was thinking….

I love living in Florida with eternal sunshine so much that I feel bad for those of you that have to get through winters. That is if you don’t enjoy winters, of course. If you do, disregard that first sentence, I don’t feel sorry for you- you have fun in the winter!

But for those who are like me, who shiver at the very thought of temperatures below 60F, I want to do something nice! I want to run a giveaway of super duper awesome-balls baby winterwear by 7AM ENFANT!

The issue is I know nothing about WINTER BABY GEAR! So it is up to you to tell me what you want and I’ll run a giveaway for that item!

I am not sure if every mother feels the same way, but while the traditional milestones are so much fun and cheered on and anticipated, there are other types of milestones that are so much more special to me.

First meaningful kiss for mommy, first snuggles, first look of adoration, first baby sign, first bouncy dance to music….

This month we have hit one of the most adorable milestones I can think of that I can actually share with the world. Alexis can now sing!

She sings with me, after me, on her own. Using her high voice and her low voice, carrying the melody and dancing with her hands. She sings in her high chair when she’s had a good meal. She sings while playing with toys.

I am honestly in awe of this person growing up in front of me. She is SO much more than anything I ever imagined. It’s truly a miracle watching her grow, and I am not a sentimental person.

She’s always been very expressive from the very beginning (refer to the talking video at 3 weeks), but this is just “too much”!

See for yourself!
