Happy October! - It's baby month!!

It's been ahile since I've had time to update my blog! Thank you so much to those of you who have been following along with me on my social platforms! It means the world to me. Today is October 1st, which means it's baby month!! I cannot believe it! I feel like I have been pregnant FOREVER! At the same time, I can't believe baby Chloe will be here in 3 short weeks!I have been doing everything I can to prepare, yet I still feel so scared of the unkown. I'm going to be honest with you, I have never even changed a diaper before! So my experience with babies is little to none. But I know God puts that natural mother instinct into us women to care for our babies. So I just keep reminding myself of that. We had a beautiful unicorn themed baby shower back in July and Tyler and I did our maternity photos with Morgan Maria last month. The nursey is ready to go and hospital bags are packed! Now I am just trying to enjoy the last couple weeks of it just being Tyler and I - the way it's been for 7 years! I'm also trying to take in the fact that I can do whatever I want! - Nap, shop, bake, sleep in .... whatever! Because I know for a fact that is all about to change! So many things have happended in our family since CoCo has been in my belly (that's her nicname Tyler and I call her) We had to put our dog, Mosey down in August which was one of the worst things I've ever had to do. That same month my Grandpa Gary's health took a turn for the worst and he ended up passing on 9/11. A couple weeks ago my sister, Jamie's daughter Ashley tragically died in her sleep. It's been a roller coaster of emotions to say the least. Oh! and throw covid on top of all that, It's been a crazy year! But having Chloe LaVonne in my belly through it all has brought us so much hope and peace. She is going to bring such joy to our family I already know it. It's been a journey, but I am excited to meet our baby girl, Chloe LaVonne Burton this month! She's due on 10-20-20 but I had a dream last week that she was showing me her face and popping her arms and legs through my belly saying, "I'm coming on the 15th!" and I was pushing her back in saying, "No! You have to wait until the 20th!" LOL so we'll see when she comes! Here are some photos I wanted to share! Thanks so much for reading and following my journey! The best is yet to come!

How to roll with the change

Although I've still been going into my office Tuesday-Friday at church, I'm starting to feel a little trapped on my weekends at home... And I just got word that I will be working from home staring tomorrow. These past couple weekends I've found some tips and tricks for me to not feel so stuck during this time. I hope some of this helps you as well! Note: this is all based off my personal experience and opinion.  1. Get dressed!  I know this sounds so simple! I found on the days I actually get ready (not full glam) but a normal outfit (for me leggings/joggers and a sweatshirt) I found I feel more motivated to get things done! The days I stay in my pajamas I end up just wanting to watch Keeping Up With The Kardashians on the couch all day long! Not saying there is anything wrong with that! But I also NEED to get some stuff done around the house and I just found that getting dressed helps me to do it! 2. Adjust your focus. When I start focusing on the...

DIY Jewlery Presents

This year I wanted to make some homemade, DIY Christmas gifts for my family! In July I had injured my lower back really bad and couldn't even get from the couch to my bed without being in pain! So I started making jewelry again, which I hadn't in years!! I forgot how much fun it is to create something for yourself or someone you love! So for the Christmas gifts I'm making I already had all the beads, tools, and string I needed to make something special for my mom, my grandma, and my niece! I hope when they open it on Christmas they will know how much time, effort, and love I put into the jewelry! 😊💝 These beads are from Hobby Lobby and so is the bead organizer! - which is a MUST!!! This Jewelry making kit is from Target and it's AMAZING!! It came with cute letter beads, pliers, jump rings, chains, and clasps! All for around $15/$20 Of course I had to be festive and make the Christmas jewelry presents next to our Christmas tree while watching al...

Well the big secret is out! Tyler and I are going to have a baby this October!! While this was a pretty huge surprise for us we are so excited! I was saying before we found out that we're pregnant how I want to get more prepared before we start having kids by paying off our credit cards, getting better about managing our money, to get physically strong and fit....but I'm now realizing we have the rest of our lives to do those things! Goals are great don't get me wrong, but God's timing is perfect and I think I was just using those things as an excuse because deep down I was unsure if I was really ready to become a mom! Ever since finding out that I'm pregnant I'm really seeing God's hand on all of it. I've always wanted to be pregnant in the summer time and I used to always think about how October is a great month to have a birthday! (Everyone is back from summer vacation and it's before the holidays) to find out I am due Oct. 20th and I'll be ...
