It's half past midnight & here I am, wide awake creating a new blog.  I've always been quite horrible at blogging but I'm going to take a whack at it & start fresh.  Here we go, keep your fingers & toes crossed that I complete what I set out to do.

I felt the need to start a new blog while laying in bed with my sweet Anelia tonight.  My husband, Sage, currently works the grave shift so I put Ane (that's what we call her for short) to sleep every night.  Any mother knows that bedtime is not an easy task BUT tonight, Ane went to sleep easily. No fussing, no fits, no head butting... This is pretty unheard of honestly.  She laid next to me, cuddled with me & out of nowhere she begin to grace my arm, from my shoulder to my elbow, back & forth.  I do this every night to her, on her back to soothe her to sleep but tonight, my little baby (technically a toddler but I'm still having a hard time facing that.) was trying to soothe me.  Right there.  In that brief moment, I thought... "My baby is no longer a baby, she's growing quickly & she's going to bed without a fuss?!" I then thought to myself about all that she's done just in the 16 months that she's been apart of our lives & how I have done a very poor job in keeping record.  ALTHOUGH, I am an avid picture taker & do post quite a few pictures of Ane almost daily on my Instagram.

She's growing & I have nothing to look back on but pictures with short captions.  My goal with this blog is not post long, extravagant blogs but just simple recaps of our day. The things we did, big or small.  I know I won't do this daily but I have set a reminder in my calendar EVERY night at 9pm to remind me, maybe that'll help?  Hopefully.

So, here we go...

Today is technically Anelia's 2nd St. Patty's Day.  I'm not really into this holiday but when Ane grows to understand, I want to view this holiday as a day to recognize how "lucky" we are to have everything we do.  Anyways, Ane didn't wear anything festive, no cute green shirt or fancy leprechaun hat.  I what to work today & when I asked Sage if Ane was wearing any green he replied, "Yes, on her diaper." Touché Hun, touché.  Our day wasn't eventful but I did get Ane to give me 3 kisses!  She doesn't give them out too much, which we'll probably like that she's so stingy with her kisses she's a teen ;) BUT today, she gave me 3 wonderful kisses & I appreciated each one very much.

Well, that's all for my first blog of our new blog :)

With Love,
