I just returned from a week long vacation at the beach. Sun, sand, ocean……ahhh. We had perfect weather. I’m ready to go back already and I have only been home for 36 hours!
You might remember this post I wrote last year about my relaxing obx vacation and the top 5 things to do in Corolla, NC. We returned this year with family and friends, plus we brought along our smallest furry baby, Willy – he enjoyed some fun in the sun too. A photo collection (thanks Instagram) from our trip…
We saw some beautiful sunrises and sunsets!
And remember my post last week about the Pulsera Project? I was sporting one of my bracelets all week on vacation, I love it!

This week my facebook page has been full of my friend’s kids heading off to school. I love all the first day of school photos full of bright smiles, wide eyes and excitement to head off to school!
This morning I came across this video of an amazing teacher. Comments from the students were: “i never fell asleep in his class”, “he really cares about me”, “he teaches me stuff I can take into the world”, and my favorite “when I am 75 years old, this is the teacher I will still remember”. How amazing huh? Wouldn’t it be great if we could all send our kids (or future kids) to teachers like this?
Moral of my day – do good… in all the ways you can… and just for you guys – a free download – click to get the 8×10 version.

Preparing for your child’s birthing day can be a challenging task, especially if you lean towards having a controlling personality (like myself). I have found that when it comes to the organizing and logistics of running a household, I am more at ease the better prepared I am. I also feel like the more responsibility that falls on a mothers shoulders, the harder it can be for her to relax and focus on herself. I started searching Pinterest for different charts that I could download to help me prepare but I found that there were VERY few available. So, I decided to make my own and I have also made it available for you all to download and fill out yourselves!
Over the next couple weeks I will be making several downloads available that pertain to family and in particular labor preparations (sorry, it’s just what I know about life at the moment!). Here are two different call log sheets:
I would recommend filling these out and emailing/printing them for anyone who might need to be notified and to have on hand in your hospital bag (I’ll have a download for that as well soon)!
This next list is essentially the same thing, but it allows your spouse/partner/birthing companion to make just a few calls and then everyone else does the rest!
You can download the first Call Log HERE and the tiered Call Log HERE!
(The second link allows you to download both files in excel bu there will not be a preview available. The tiered call log is on the second tab, located at the bottom of the page.)
Please let us know if you have any trouble accessing and downloading these as this is my first time using this setup!
xoxo,
