Paralized - LoverlyBlonde
http://www.brittrayburn.com/blog/paralized
Today I found myself weeping. Weeping in the beauty of true rest. As a mom and a wife, I find now more than ever my title is "Cheif Do-er". Let me tell you, I'm not great at doing. I'm a dreamer, I love to create, and to serve. Serving and doing, are very different to me. Serving is done with joy, doing is done out of lists and obligation. I started to live inside my head, my world became too small, it was all too much, and I was doing too little. I decided to handle my SAHM status like I used to handle ...

Shop Showcase – The Resplendent
http://theresplendent.com/category/shop-showcase
Category Archives: Shop Showcase. SHOP SHOWCASE: Swanky Snaps. June 25, 2015. Since becoming a mom, the percentage of my wardrobe that gets worn has significantly decreased. I no longer wear any of my business attire, my fancy heels, or my dry-clean only dresses. Instead, my new boss has no problem with me wearing the same outfit 5 days in a row, wearing yoga pants or jeans with holes in them, or even wearing my pajamas to work (and I take advantage often). The concept of SwankySnaps all started this pas...

Traveling with a five month old - LoverlyBlonde
http://www.brittrayburn.com/blog/traveling-with-a-five-month-old
Traveling with a five month old. I don't want to deal with pumping along with everything else we need to bring on this trip.". Famous last words. Instead I found myself asking where I could feed my daughter, wearing a cover, only to be shown the bathroom multiple times. I was out of our normal. Normal routine, normal setting, normal serene nursery and boppy pillow.frantic to feed my little one who luck would have it was going through a growth spurt on our first trip. Private room it was. Fortunately that...

Love is in the little things - LoverlyBlonde
http://www.brittrayburn.com/blog/love-is-in-the-little-things
Love is in the little things. My body forever carries a scar. A reminder of the anticipation of meeting you, a reminder of the anxiety of will I be enough? Then you arrive and it is everything and nothing like I expected. It is SO MUCH HARDER and SO MUCH MORE LOVELY than I could have ever dreamed. I prepared for your arrival, I scanned registry ideas, took a survey of what I should register for. Organized and decorated. I naturally nested, the hubbs bent over backwards to make my nursery design. Joking a...

Less Kardashians More Gaines - LoverlyBlonde
http://www.brittrayburn.com/blog/less-kardashians-more-gaines
Less Kardashians More Gaines. And I don't even like that saying. Last week my husband said, "why do we still watch this? This week I said, "Let's stop." Done and done. That family is a walking contradiction to everything I hope for in life. Now Fixer Upper (Chip and Joanna Gaines) is GOLD I tell ya. I love the way they portray their marriage. I love the clean humor and loving banter, I love the fact that they sell Hymnal Cards. As decoration, that they don't need to preach their values, it radiates.

Life with a 3 month old - LoverlyBlonde
http://www.brittrayburn.com/blog/life-with-a-3-month-old
Life with a 3 month old. Oddest moment thus far, having a woman I DIDN'T KNOW reach out to touch her head, whilst I was babywearing/grocery shopping. I recoiled. I tried to be as sweet as possible when I said, "please don't touch my baby! Call me odd, but if someone reached out and tried to touch my husbands head I'd have the same reaction, however I wouldn't be able to wear my husband. maybe I should go eat something, this is taking a strange path. Miss Nora has started swim class at Hubbard. Dependent ...

Life with a 2 month old - LoverlyBlonde
http://www.brittrayburn.com/blog/life-with-a-2-month-old
Life with a 2 month old. Oh my, "things get better" - they weren't lying! That first month is ROUGH, like. who is going to come pickup their baby, there must have been a mistake, why isn't there a college course/test on parenting required before procreation? Her blood boiling cries turn to smiling coo's, her disgruntled demeanor to contentment. Our fear of every waking moment turned to looking forward to getting her in the morning to be greeted with stretches, smiles and giggles. Boy does it get better.
