Sea Glass

Lifestyle April 3, 2016

I feel pretty lucky that David works from home because sometimes when Atticus is napping I sneak off and meet up with friends or take Rosie out on the town. He takes 3-4 hour naps (sometimes almost 5 hour naps haha! sleep hard play hard I guess) so its quite a bit of time! That day I took Rosie and we met up with friends for lunch and to see the new sea glass carousel which is absolutely beautiful! It is down at The Battery - and is SO pretty!! You have to go if you are in town visiting. I always love days when I get to hang out with these awesome ladies - they are gems. When I got home Atticus was just waking up and it was time for Rosie's nap so I put Rosie girl down and took Atticus to the park to again meet up with friends! He climbed all the fences of the park trying to get onto the grass to chase the squirrels haha. He is seriously so close to ACTUALLY climbing over the fence but since he is kind of afraid of heights I dont think he would ever actually go for it.. or maybe he would, who knows. After the park we got a cookie to reward him for being so sweet that entire week and for doing so good in his gym class. He has really been learning a lot from it and its so cute to watch. He picked out this giant m&m cookie and was grinning SO big the entire way home as he held it ... but he didn't take a single bite hahah! Just held onto it for dear life and was so happy about it. That picture with Rosie and the spit up is literally story of my life! Atticus has spit up once or twice his entire life so I was NOT used to the amount of spit up a baby can produce! Rosie has acid reflux pretty bad and so I constantly have bibs on her now because it is like a fountain ha. I would be lying if I said SO many of my clothes didn't smell like spit up because if I washed a shirt or jeans every time they got a little on them, I would have no clothes to wear/I am lazy. The other day for date night with a group of friends I put on this dress and it had a little spit up mark on it from the previous week when I had it on for maybe an hour. I asked David, "do you think anyone will notice?" and he said "yes but she is gonna spit up on it again in a few minutes so just pretend it just happened" hahah and I wore it. (she came with us) But man those spit ups are so unpredictable! But luckily it doesn't phase me in the slightest now. I think "the days are long and the years are short" is the most true saying I have ever heard when it comes to kids! Some days fly by and I feel like I am flouting on cloud nine and other days feel super long. Often when I put the kids to bed I sit down and dont want to move because I feel like I ran marathons all day ha. If children supplied cities with power, Atticus would have enough energy to keep New York City going all day every day! I absolutely love it more than anything and his energy is 100% contagious and he inspires me in a lot of ways but sometimes it really is exhausting! This last week I started to get a little burnt out and felt like I wasn't doing as good of a job as I could be so me and David had a little pow wow and figured out things we can do better. We started a new bedtime routine for him that is better for all of us and made some new family rules to make sure we are keeping up with him. It felt nice to have this weekend somewhat off social media and just be lazy and play all day and not worry about work! However I am excited for my spin class tomorrow and for all the things we have planned :) xo

    Little baby hammocks are great for babies with acid reflux! It keeps their heads elevated, plus when they get fidgety they rock themselves back to sleep 🙂

    My little girl spits up a lot too. And especially on the go there is no place or time to change your clothes or hers. I use Kirkland baby wipes from Costco and it gets everything out even if it’s been there a little while. Even the smell too! I use it for everything. P.s your kids are too adorable ????

    My little babe is 6 months old and she used to spit up a ton. We always had to have bibs around :0. But it got so much better. I remember just going around in the city and saying oh my sorry I think this is spit up. Oh goodness, but it’s all precious at the same time.

    Where is Rosie romper from :).

    So beautiful as always, but I am so curious where you get Rosie’s clothes. I adore her little sweaters and hats, and her rompers are super cute too. I’ve been trying to check around on previous posts about where you get her clothes. I’m interested for my 9 month old!

    Hahahaha the spit up picture really got me. I have 5 nieces and nephews and I just stopped wearing nice clothes around them because I end either covered in spit up, some kind of food, or dirt. But I love it! So that picture totally spoke to me haha. You guys are just the cutest and Atticus’ smile with that cookie is priceless! Plus, you are totally rocking that red hat 😉 Keep it up mama, you guys are doing such an amazing job with these kiddos!

    Love everything about this post. You are so beautiful inside and out.
    I relate so closely to your post. I have a 1.5 year old daughter who is a great big ball of energy who never stops running and also a 4 month baby girl with horrible reflux. Like you I am always covered in spit up. Most days I’m only wearing sweats because what’s the point of getting spit up on nice clothes. Thank you for inspiring me to get dressed put a pretty lip stick on and just feel beautiful again. It’s so worth the effort. Xoxo!!

    Oh goodness mine would spit up like that too! Checkout Tommee Tippee bibs! They have a ribbed neck so they keep the spit from running down her neck, etc. I had so many cute bibs, but a friend gifted us those simply because they were her favorite and WE could totally see why!

    You look beautiful as always. Just one question: Are you really wearing the Stila Liquid Lipstick in Carina? Because it says that the color Carina is supposed to be a ‘vibrant coral’ color, while your lips look very red matte to me..? Please advise, would love to order the right color, so def. the one you’re wearing in the pics.. 😉 Best wishes from Germany

    I just have my 3rd, who happens to be my first girl and she has reflux as well. I did not experience this with my first two, so boy was I shocked at the amount of vomit a reflux baby produces. To speak as mom to mom, I do the exact same thing with my spit covered clothes. You’d kill yourself trying to wash just to keep up. So know you’re not alone 😉

    Oh Amber, don’t worry we all have our ups and downs. Being a mummy and trying to combine it with anything else is hard work as much as we love our little ones. I have days when I am so worn out too. I recently had my 3 little ones for the first week of the Easter break at home in our flat in London and it was exhausting to keep them all happy, entertained, healthily fed etc I am enjoying having my husband with us this week;) However I wouldn’t change anything I have got. I know you feel the same and it’s about focusing on all those tiny little things which are special in our everyday life with the kiddies. It’s nice also to have a supportive hubby and it seems like David is wonderful and having a nice few girlfriends too which you seem to have. I hope Rosie’s reflux improves. No matter what, I love your honesty! Keep your posts coming. Love from England. Julie

    This place looks awesome and I love your red hat! I couldn’t agree more that the days are long but the years are short. My little girl is 2 and I am due with my little boy in 6 weeks and I have no idea where the time has gone. You and David seem to be doing an awesome job though and you have the cutest kiddos! 🙂

    Hey Amber! Thanks for keeping it real when it comes to mama burn out. I really like that about you and your blog/instagram. Because you look like you always have it so together… Makes me feel good to know your kids wipe you out too lol. And you do a really great job of acknowledging tough stuff while staying positive and being thankful. The days really are long and the years are short. It is so true. Xo

    that red hat is absolutely stunning! Atticus and Rosie are so precious! being covered in spit up seems like an occupational hazard of being a mommy!

But you are doing a wonderful job with them! ????

    Glad your finding some balance! Can you do a daily routine/schedule post? I would love to see what you’re average day looks like and how you keep up with work, social media, babies and self. I was just talking to my hubs last night about this exact same thing, trying to balance out everything we have going on. Life can get chaotic and sometimes I have to really talk to myself, calm down and distress. Just last night my toddler was saying “Mommy, come play playdoh, get up mommy” but I was to busy working on the computer…I felt so guilty afterwards 🙁
