Playing House: August 2013

Tuesday, August 13, 2013. Stay at Home Mom-ing: A Whole New World. So in case you haven't been stalking me on Facebook (and why wouldn't you be? I am now staying at home with the baby. I loved my job very much and definitely miss it, but I'm so happy and at peace with my decision to stay at home. (Something that I was quite terrified I wouldn't be. I was fairly focused on my career the past 6 years and let me tell you - it has definitely been a change in pace, well, everything.). But I was all like:.

Playing House: "Mom Brain"
http://laurenplayinghouse.blogspot.com/2013/06/mom-brain.html
Friday, June 28, 2013. Everyone tells you about it - pregnancy brain. In fact, apparently, it's a real thing. I used the excuse during pregnancy, but I'll tell you right now, I did not really lose my brain until I had Connor. We'll call this "Mom Brain." Imagine me very annoyingly saying in a fake cheery voice, "Mom Brain! In fact, lots of mommies have mentioned this "mom brain" phenomenon to me and they all say the same thing about it, "You never get it back! Hey, crazy. Pull it together. Frisco, Texas,...

Playing House: The Real Deal Behind Pre-Natal Yoga
http://laurenplayinghouse.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-real-deal-behind-pre-natal-yoga.html
Monday, October 15, 2012. The Real Deal Behind Pre-Natal Yoga. I started a prenatal yoga class about 3 weeks ago - the main reason was simply because I wanted to stay (somewhat) active during pregnancy, but I also thought it would be a good way to relax, prepare for labor and maybe meet a preggo friend in the 'burbs. Well, fast-forward 3 weeks and I've learned a few things. 1 No giggling out loud. Sorry, now, can we back up? 2 It's allllll about "all natural.". Water birth. The instructor makes many ...

Playing House: May 2013
http://laurenplayinghouse.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 1, 2013. Well, we are 7 weeks in with our sweet Connor and wanted to be sure to capture his birth story. Not because I care if anyone reads this but because I want to be sure to remember every single detail of the happiest day of our lives. In hindsight, it wasn't such a bad thing for this control freak but little did I know there were still fun surprises. After that, my mom and stepdad came in to document. everything. in. the. room. I immediately started feeling my legs go numb and starte...

Playing House: September 2013

Monday, September 30, 2013. Making Mommy Friends: Part Deux. When the hubby and I first made the decision I would stay home, I immediately started looking at what I would do to get out of the house. Luckily, I live in an awesome community where there are tons of opportunities to meet new people, but no matter where you are, there are things for new mommies. So, let's get to it! Being an ole prenatal yogi from way back. Um, can a girl get a censor bar on those new momma nursing ta-tas? Kidding. Kind of.

Playing House: July 2013
http://laurenplayinghouse.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 15, 2013. Pretty sure I was all like:. Note: I'm not knocking putting a little girl in lace. Heck, if I have a daughter, you can bet your bidness she'll be wearing bows and ruffles. But for daycare? And how am I supposed to compete with that? A few hours later, I'm wrapping things up at work and I see the weekly newsletter from Connor's school come across my inbox, so I open it up and (throw some salt in the wound) who do I see in the newsletter? I think I've just been outmom'd.

Playing House: January 2014
http://laurenplayinghouse.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 19, 2014. The Bensons v. Plano PD. You can file this story away in the "That Bi*ch is Pissed" folder. OK, it's not as bad as it sounds. Really! But here's the lowdown. In mid-December, I received a letter in the mail stating that I owed $100 for running a red light. Boo. So I looked for the when and where. I'm talking snap-your-fingers-in-a-Z-formation mad. Mmmm, not quite. (He was kidding.). But over the past week, I've dealt with this during morning nap time. Connor's, not mine, unf...
