Everybody. Be. Cool.
Sometimes it still feels crazy to think I have a son. I’m a Mama. I helped make and grow this tiny human. Whoa.
I love him so much. And I’m so thankful that I get to be his Mama. I look at him all the time, and tell him how thankful I am that he’s the baby we get to have.
Love him BIG.
I’ve always been a fan of Nordsrtom’s. I mean, they always have awesome stuff and the stores are beautiful. Not to mention their customer service is awesome. You pay the price for all those wonderful things, but I always love my experiences in their stores.
As a new Mama they’ve now moved even higher up on my list, thanks to this:
Hello, beautiful. Seriously, this lounge in the bathroom is fancier than my living room.
They know how to make a Mama swoon. Comfy chairs. Large changing table. And a little nook away from the frightening automatic flushing toilets. Merfbaby is not a fan of how loud those things are.
I even met another Mama and her 3.5 month old baby while we were there.
So today I’m thankful for stores that provide a little oasis amidst the public chaos to Mamas.
It’s Veteran’s Day in America. I don’t have the day off from work – but I’m focusing on remembering the importance that this day represents. I have several Veterans in my family, and I have many friends that are currently serving. In our daily lives if we aren’t directly connected to someone in active service we can forget just how much they sacrifice to protect us. They miss birthdays, anniversaries and the births of their children.
All to keep us safe and free from so many of the horrors that are playing out daily around the world.
I’m so very thankful for everyone that once served, and is currently serving in our military. Regardless of what “side” your politics place you on, I believe Veterans are heroes and deserve the highest level of respect and gratitude.
If you are a Veteran, or the spouse/child/parent of someone serving – THANK YOU.
