Baby Babble.

I’ve found it really challenging to juggle both Dear Baby and my blogging at Babble these past few months. I do the large bulk of my writing and photo editing in the late hours after my children have gone to bed and it’s become increasingly challenging to do write and edit for both. The thing I hate most about not being able to get it all done is that I WANT to, so badly. I love writing for Babble and feel so honored to have the opportunity. I’m bound and determined to find a way to make it work. I’ve still got a lot to share this month, but I wanted to invite you to stop on over and check out some of my recent posts on Arlo’s First Year. Here’s what I’ve been babbling about:

1. I’m going to write in depth about this hear on DB, but we got some pretty spectacular news at Arlo’s last opthamology appointment.

2. My 8 month old has never slept more than 4 hours at a time. Most nights, I’m up with him every few hours. Anyone else have a similar experience? The details on my sleep deprivation are here

3. Baby Led Weaning FAIL! Arlo hated it and it stressed Brent and I out. Sometimes you just have to accept that certain methods aren’t going to work for your family needs. The good news: we have found a happy medium at meal time for our guy.

4. I thought losing my hair post pregnancy was bad - but THIS is worse!

5. I shared my favorite dealing-with-a-sick-baby tip from one of my mama mentors, Quyen! Check it out.

Thanks for reading and supporting me in all of my online ventures. My dream is to be able to take on a more active role in the blogging and social media world without it creeping into my dedicated family and career time. Is it possible? Who knows! but I’m sure gonna give it a try

Love,

M

Hello. I'm Melissa.

Wife to a rock n roll, super dad named Brent.

We're the adventuring type. Go. do. See.
We hit the jackpot when we had our daughter, Everly Veda in January 2010.
She has my eyes, his lips and a San Francisco heart.

In May 2011, we welcomed Arlo Redding, the most magical little dude ever into our family. His presence has made our good thing, even better.

We like old stuff and keeping it simple.
We believe in love, family and a good pair of cowboy boots.

Brent sings songs.
I write words.
And these sweet babies make our world go round.

Welcome.
