Adventurous Mama - July 2021

My newborn is no longer a newborn. The little cries and squeaks and milk drunk days are in the rear view. What appears beyond us now is a curious and full of life 11 month old.

Being a pandemic baby has not been easy but it has taught us to value our loved ones and to enjoy every moment even more.

I started this lifestyle blog to not only highlight the many interests and real life events I have, but to also share myself as a mother. I am a new mom, and a mom to 1. Every day is a journey and like life, it teaches me something new all of the time.

My offspring has shown me an entirely other side of what life means and now we soak it all in together. Every day is a new adventure and even on the challenging days we save room for some smiles. I can't help but notice how strong and mobile she has gotten. It won't be long before she decides she want's to be her own person. I have enjoyed every blissful moment of motherhood this far, I am beyond excited to see what's in store. Watching my once newborn stand tall by herself and make sounds that to her are words.

Most days we spend together we are chatting and learning new things, we spend time outdoors often and we sing and dance daily. I love our moments deeply because you realize how fast time flies and how brief each moment really is. I want to soak in every moment of this journey as a mom because not only does she continue to teach me every day, but I get to watch her grow every day. I get to watch her love the world, smile, laugh, and be her.

This month was not only the month I turned 25, but it was also the month that my little baby decided to start exploring more. She has grown so much. Our adventures will only get better as she gets older and I am looking forward to her many laughs and smiles.

Soak it all in they said, they were right, and I will continue to do so. I love you so much Ella-Rayne.
