A New Challange

Having time on my hands is not something that I have been used to over the years.  Growing up as a competitive figure skater, then working in the media followed by moving to a new city and starting my forever with the love of my life made free time almost non existent. 

Anyone who knows Adam and I knows that we don't do anything unless we do it big. So, last year we decieded once we returned home from our trip to Italy we would start to build our own home. Who would have thought that less than one month into the process we would find out we were pregnant!But again, we welcomed this challange and looked forward to the arrival of our little one.

Now, Fast forward to today- wow how much has changed!


Giving birth to my daughter on January 20th 2012 changed my life from unscheduled and fast paced to whatever pace Madilyn wants and very scheduled. With this being said I would not change my new reality for the world. 

Having all this time on my hands I have had to be creative in my ways to keep myself busy. With no work responsibilities, a babies unpredictability and very little stress, my world has become unpredictable but fun!  I have been lucky to share this time with a great friend who is also on maternity leave, together we have shared ways to keep busy and sane all while watching our little angels nap or play.

Going forward I hope to use my blog as a tool to remember all the things in life I am grateful for, time line Madilyn's accomplishments and firsts within the early years of her life,  and document how my life has changed and will continue to change over the next year. What a better way to look back at the highs and lows of motherhood... I hope you all chose to share this time with "Me, Myself and Madilyn!"

Enjoy
