Perfectly Imperfect Mom

I am so incredibly shocked at the growth my little blog has made the past couple of months. Because of this I would first like to say Welcome to all my new followers. I am extremely grateful you decided to follow my blog.
I also would like to give you a little look back on the past couple of years to catch you up to now.
2 years ago, before baby!

I first began blogging when my husband, Branden, and I were trying to get pregnant with our first baby. We had suffered a miscarriage and struggling to get pregnant on our own. I had found comfort in others who blogged about similar issues. I decided to start blogging and it became quite therapeutic for me. I never thought my blog would have turned into what it is today.


After a couple of months of blogging and over a year of TTC we got pregnant with our son, Ace! To say we were thrilled is an understatement. All our dreams were coming true. I chronicled my pregnancy and began to really connect with my readers. I received so much love and support throughout my pregnancy. I remember waiting to find out if we were having a boy or girl and getting so many wonderful comments when I posted about our Gender Reveal Party. I then gave birth to my son and found this blog helped me stay on top of his milestones and growth through monthly posts. I can look back on his first year and see when he first sat up or crawled. I can see sweet pictures of my son sleeping with his Daddy and his first trip to Disney.

Once I started noticing more followers were interested in my blog I decided to have guest posters come and blog here for the day. I picked women I admired and knew my followers would also enjoy reading about. I can't thank these women enough for doing this.


Now here I am with a beautiful little boy, a blog I love and a shop I enjoy stocking full of Mommy and Baby items! I hope you all stick around because I have much more to come.

From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! Don't forget to enter the two giveaways I am hosting and co-hosting. Black, White and Red all Over & The Great October Giveaway!

How Baby-Lagged Are You?
‘Baby lag’ is the term used to describe the tiredness that new parents feel after seemingly endless sleepless nights. The physical and emotional effects are said to be similar to those caused by taking several transatlantic flights, leaving parents with impaired memory and slow reflexes.
Johnson’s Baby has devised an easy, fun test to check how baby-lagged you are – you can take the  baby lag test at the Johnson’s Baby website. If your score does come out high however, there’s no need to despair. The website is also full of great tips for improving your baby’s sleep routine and helping everyone in the family on their way to a peaceful night’s rest.
The Johnson’s three step sleep routine has been clinically proven to help babies fall asleep and stay asleep for longer during the night, and it’s so simple to implement that you can start tonight. The three easy steps include a relaxing bathtime followed by a gentle baby massage and, finally, some quiet time shared before bed.
The Johnson’s Baby Bedtime range, with its naturally relaxing scent, can be a great aid to a bedtime routine. Choose bedtime bath or bedtime wash for bathtime, and bedtime lotion, cream or oil to massage baby with. All of these products use patented NaturalCalm aromas to lull baby into a relaxed state.
A simple baby sleep routine can make a world of difference when it comes to the quality of the sleep achieved by all in your household. Why not try a simple 1,2,3 bedtime routine tonight and see if you can wave goodbye to the effects of baby lag for good.
