This past weekend 25 of us went on a little getaway in the mountains. We had the BEST time!

Bringing Up Bébé
Bringing Up Bébé: One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting
When American journalist Pamela Druckerman has a baby in Paris, she doesn't aspire to become a "French parent." French parenting isn't a known thing, like French fashion or French cheese. Even French parents themselves insist they aren't doing anything special.
Yet, the French children Druckerman knows sleep through the night at two or three months old while those of her American friends take a year or more. French kids eat well-rounded meals that are more likely to include braised leeks than chicken nuggets. And while her American friends spend their visits resolving spats between their kids, her French friends sip coffee while the kids play.
I heard about this book from Mint and then a friend sent me a message with the same blog link. I was killing time in a book store and I thought I would give it a read. I am more than half way through the book and I am loving it!
I am not planning on reading any more baby books at the moment because there is so much overwhelming info in all of them and a lot of it is stuff that will make me worry. I already have anxiety and the last thing I need is to read something that will stress me out.
I am however, looking for some good mommy blogs. If you know of any please let me know. Thanks!

Baby on the way
(Photo by Ric Omphroy)
I am having a baby! The Mr. and I are so excited!
It is a little early to be telling everyone (11 weeks,) but I am not good at keep secrets this big. I look a lot bigger in this photo than I am. Also, I think a lot of it is gas (sorry but it's true).

April Goals
This month I want to focus on creating something everyday. It can be taking more photos to knitting a sweater. Over the past few months I have been really lazy with my creative side. I once was art journaling every night and then one day I just stopped and haven't art journals since. I have been quite in all area of my life lately because so much is changing and I am trying to take it all in.
In April I choose....
to start quilting
to work on Project Life
to take more photo of my everyday
to bake a few times this month
to work on my one little word binder (photos coming soon)
What kind of project are you working on this month?
