Just found your blog and am so enjoying it.

First of all, I came your way because one of my daughter's is named Carissa. Don't find too many of you. :)

Secondly, I always love to read blogs of young mommies who aren't afraid to have a few kids close together. (I had my first 5 babies in 4 years.)

Third, my passion is to encourage and support young mama's who are looking for that "older woman" mentor ... even though I don't feel "older". (While I do have 6 young adult children, my two youngest are just 8, so I have a lot of mommy years left.)

Look forward to reading more.

your family is so so cute :) hehe

I know how you feel! Sometimes I wish I could do more too...my energy doesn't last long. Two things make my days a little bit harder: Tiago only takes one nap and I have to cook for lunch and dinner (we eat homemade food for lunch and dinner here in brazil). Most days Tiago and I eat leftovers from dinner or I cook for lunch enough to last for dinner. Plus we don't have as much frozen or "almost ready" meal options...it's all from scratch! I get REALLY tired of cooking sometimes! It makes it even harder that this is something REALLY important to Marcos...he has high expectations for dinner every night. Sometimes I fail at meeting those expectations (especially pregnant!).
Other than that, the only different thing about our days is Tiago goes to sleep at 20:30 - 21 (because Marcos is only home around 20:30) and wakes up around 8:30 - 9. AMAZINGLY, I have been able to wake up at 7 the past week...it's something I want to start getting used to doing (because of Larissa too!). BUt sometimes it's extremely difficult to not wait until Tiago wakes.
God bless you! All these little things you do are what make your home special, and therefore your family special and loved. That is your most glorious mission on earth: your family!

Ask away on questions! Although I doubt I'll have any great answers ha! :)

Seriously though, there is nothing sweeter than having two babies. And as far as the age goes... my motto has been "you just make it work" !!! Seriously! That and lots and lots of prayer :) :)

So glad to have found you!

Not sure how I stumbled upon your blog? But I did...and I love it! How far apart will your two babes be? I have to that are pretty close in age...18 months. You will LOVE having them close together :)
Just wanted to leave a comment so you knew who was reading along!

Your routine kind of sounds like mine! Don't feel bad about not waking up before your baby does. Most of the time my boys have been up causing trouble way before I get up! So far they haven't caught anything on fire, wondered off outside or landed themselves in the emergency room while I was sleeping! Ha! (knock on wood) That's a great verse!

That is one of my favorite verses.

And what in the world does your uterus have to do with your thighs? Aww, geez. We women, get pulled through the mill during preganacy. My oldest stuck his foot in my rib consistently for the last 2.5 months in utero.

Thanks for the reminder.

I loved hearing about your day!! You are doing anything but squandering your day... You are a momma!! Enjoy your "downtime" because soon you will be even more busy with two kiddos!

I love 1 samuel 12: 20-2.. I think it is a great reminder to us all. :) Happy weekend!

2010-03-05T11:02:30.367-05:00

I feel like that all the time! There is always so much to do and never enough time or energy {or will power} to get it all done! I think we just have to do what we can and live with life not being the perfect picture in our heads:)

2010-03-05T10:40:17.409-05:00

Your day sounds much like mine does! Praise the Lord for kiddos that still take two naps!

Oh my gosh! You are being way to hard on yourself!...

2010-03-05T09:41:45.800-05:00

Oh my gosh! You are being way to hard on yourself! You are a great mom!! Talk about squandering, I am sitting here reading blogs and doing nothing while my youngest is chasing the dog around the house in her underware,a hat and socks...yeah...I should probably get off...im the worst mom since I started my blog! Awful!

2010-03-05T09:38:25.086-05:00

Love it! I'm so with you on that 5:00 hour when I ask myself why I didn't throw it all in the crockpot in the morning. I SURLY wouldn't waist naptime doing it, ha!

Have a completely unscheduled, sleep in till noon weekend! :-)

2010-03-05T08:38:50.913-05:00

Thank you for mentioning me (so sweet). You are for sure not squandering your time...raising our kids and being wives is our number one ministry on this earth...don't let the enemy lie and say you aren't serving the Kingdom by changing diapers and cleaning the kitchen...because you are!!

2010-03-05T07:40:00.346-05:00

love the post. and my thighs showed BEFORE i had a baby bulge...so i don't know what my excuse would be. :0) it's all in the name of love!! i've been meaning to email you, but haven't yet...obviously! and wanted to say thanks for all your sweet comments. and that you commented on my wordless post "that's as sweet as sugar"...well i totally thought you 'got' it because of that comment but said that to not give it away to anyone else. lol. so if you wouldn't have said you didn't get it...i wouldn't have known. :0) and also if you're remotely interested in cloth diapering...let me know. it really is easy. and will save you a ton of money in the long run. especially with the two of them going to be in diapers. and now i'm rambling. so i should've emailed you.

oh. and i only have ever gotten up before my kids a handful of times...until this baby. i can't sleep with this pregnancy. it's not even being uncomfortable or anything. just wide awake. so i've been up at six all the time lately. which is nice for me to get some blogging done i guess. but i'd much rather be in bed asleep!!

I heart you my bloggy friend! You always crack me ...

2010-03-05T07:21:00.766-05:00

I heart you my bloggy friend! You always crack me up! That is a funny quirk....congrats to the winner! You are such an awesome mommy! I have Kelcee on a real similar schedule....

Girl you are sooo pretty I'm sure you thighs aren't growing at all....When I was preggo I was pregnant all over....

Have a great Friday
