Life Lessons: From my sleepy brain

share our button

So, partly because I adore Rach from Life with Baby Donut and partly because it seems like fun, I decided to try out the Life Lessons link up this week. Welcome to my brain.

1. I like chocolate. A lot.

2. Especially when the baby isn't sleeping.

3. You know what else is good for that? Twitter.

4. Also coffee.

5. For the first six months of Baby Girl's life, I thought caffeine was off limits during breastfeeding.

6. Those months are a little fuzzy.

7. Do you know what else is off limits? Wine. I haven't had any since before I got pregnant.

8. I lied. I had half a glass on my thirtieth birthday because my mother in law bought it for me.

9. People? I turned thirty this year. And celebrated with half a glass of wine with my mother in law.

10. That's sad.

11. I mean,it's not my-baby-hasn't-slept-in-a-week sad.

12. Just makes me feel kinda pathetic.

13. Do you know what's good for that?

14. Chocolate.

  1. I feel like chocolate is pretty much a cure all!! Wine is too, but it's hard to say that without people directing you to a local church basement for a meeting :-)

    Thanks for linking up!!

  3. Chocolate is great for lifting the mood, isn't it? It's not sad that you celebrated your bday with your MIL. At least I hope she's a nice person!

    I'm so glad you linked up. This is a great list!!

  6. what a sweet blog! Totally loving it over here! It's 4:30 in the morning or I'd stay longer, you've got me hooked :) The humbling one had me nodding my head along with you -- how true!! And when you have more kids? Oh lord. Go easy on yourself. My advice? (b/c you so want it!) Don't sleep train, just relax and encourage. Sign when you can -- it's SO amazing & it truly cuts down on tantrums (all 3 of mine signed, but my 1st signed so much people thought she was deaf!). You can clean when she's in school. She sounds adorable. And tell your husband blogging isn't silly :) It's a creative outlet that stretches your mind, keeps you sane, connects you to other writers and keeps you current with the events of the world. And it just might bring you a some money!

  7. Chocolate, Twitter and Coffee are all things I probably wouldn't be able to give up right now.

  8. Chocolate rocks and listen, 30 is nothing. I turned 40 a year ago. Worse. Coffee rules!
