http://www.nataliessentiments.com/2014/10/tomorrow-is-halloween-insta-friday-60.html
Thursday, October 30, 2014. Last weekend Shane realized Elise has never experienced his shaped pancakes! He rectified that immediately. Took her on her first hayride as well. First corn maze. We got lost. Didn't tell the kids. And first attack of leaves from big brother. So far, a pretty eventful October. Oh yea, I also cut 7 inches off my hair. I like it.). Can't wait for tomorrow! Follow me on instagram @natssentiments. Wow, look at Collins long legs in that tractor picture. how did THAT happen? A plac...

natalie's sentiments: Hi there.
http://www.nataliessentiments.com/2015/03/hi-there.html
Sunday, March 8, 2015. You guys are sweet. Thanks for checking on me through email and Instagram. This has been my longest hiatuses from blogging in the last eight years. But thanks to Pinterest, my page views never went down, ha! Take that people who say we should not slack. So, why gone so long? So in ways, Shane's travel was a blessing. I started new hobbies, stayed well read and made new friends in the blogging world. And it doesn't help that I have three children. It's a lot more than two. Dear Shan...

natalie's sentiments: Thanksgiving Dress Rehersal.
http://www.nataliessentiments.com/2014/11/thanksgiving-dress-rehersal.html
Sunday, November 9, 2014. We are hosting Thanksgiving this year and I've asked Shane to handle the turkey. So naturally, he wanted to do a test run. We found a recipe from Sur la table. That looked promising. Something about starting with the breast-side down and herb butter under the skin sounded intriguing. It was the best turkey I have ever had. He followed the directions exactly and it was perfectly moist and unbelievably flavorful. The drippings made scrumptious gravy. Classic Herb Roasted Turkey.

natalie's sentiments: D-MER - Breastfeeding's Darker Side
http://www.nataliessentiments.com/2015/08/d-mer-breastfeedings-darker-side.html
Saturday, August 1, 2015. D-MER - Breastfeeding's Darker Side. I haven't blogged in a while, but as it's World Breast Feeding week, I decided I wanted to write a post I've been thinking about for, well years. But for some women, breast feeding takes on a very unexpected, and terrifying aspect. Do you feel like you want to hurt your baby? No, of course not. When it happens I'm too overcome to even really notice that she is there.". Do you feel resentful to your baby about your loss of freedom? I have a ne...

natalie's sentiments: Insta-Friday #61 - Christmas time is here!
http://www.nataliessentiments.com/2014/12/insta-friday-61-christmas-time-is-here.html
Friday, December 19, 2014. Insta-Friday #61 - Christmas time is here! My baby is sleeping and my kids are playing nicely in the living room. I think I have about 20 minutes of prime time free time. Prime time free time is any free time that happens before bedtime. It's exorbitantly rare for me. Am I the only one? But right now I have 20 minutes. Well, about 18 now. Hold up. Kids bumped heads. Cry-Cry-Cry, mom kisses heads, "go play.". Okay Here's what we've been up to. I LOVE our "Merry and Bright" theme.

natalie's sentiments: What I've learned in a Decade of Marriage
http://www.nataliessentiments.com/2012/05/what-ive-learned-in-decade-of-marriage.html
Wednesday, May 16, 2012. What I've learned in a Decade of Marriage. This week Shane and I celebrated our 11th year of marriage. 11 years. Totally crazy. 11th isn't a very exciting anniversary. We spent our 10th anniversary at our honeymoon bed and breakfast. And celebrated it "officially" in Hawaii. This year we went to Joe's crab shack and to the movies. Still, it was great! Marrying your best (and sexiest) friend makes life fun. Weren't we cute at 23? Ah, so young. 1 Show gratitude constantly. That doe...

natalie's sentiments: Pee-Pees and Wee-Wees
http://www.nataliessentiments.com/2010/03/pee-pees-and-wee-wees.html
Wednesday, March 3, 2010. This is random, but I need to decide what we are going to call "boy parts". There are a lot of options out there and I want to pick the right term. Now, I could just go with "penis" and make things simple. I'm not opposed to that, but again, I want to weigh all my options. We went with the term "pp place". So tell me. What do you call the "private parts" with your children? And while we are discussing things, any interesting "potty" names? March 3, 2010 at 12:07 AM. Believe it o...

natalie's sentiments: My fifty year old self
http://www.nataliessentiments.com/2011/06/my-fifty-year-old-self.html
Friday, June 24, 2011. My fifty year old self. So fifty year old Natalie and I have a deal. I promise her that I will wear SPF everyday and never step foot in a tanning bed. I will keep my teeth in good shape. I will keep the romance going so that 50 year old Shane is still around. I will watch my salt intake and keep the cholesterol low. She has no opinion on my drinking Diet Coke. I'm grateful to my fifty year old self. She reminds me why it's my goal to have A Passionate Joy in the Present. What a lov...
