(As I proofread this story, I feel like there is so much I am leaving out. I may have to do an update as things come back to mind.)
Birth is very personal and intimate for mothers. It is the entrance to a voyage that will forever impress upon our hearts, souls, and the innermost being of who we are. Birth is sometimes scary, but it is also very empowering. It can thwart a mother into herMegan|BishopPlaceHandmadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03038713089596336476noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5525023592071596632.post-28495550761071746052016-06-01T21:37:00.001-05:002016-06-01T22:08:38.261-05:00Isabelle's Birth Story | Part 1

No, Isabelle has not been born, but her birth story actually starts a little over four years ago.
I have had so many people ask me "Why?" regarding my plan for natural birth. I have met people who don't understand and have blatantly disagreed with me for choosing the VBAC path.

When Madison was an infant, I was accused of "hoarding" my child. I was told that I was possessive and that I was going to spoil her, especially since I was breastfeeding. She would supposedly want no one but me and her father.
I stand strong to tell you that I was a baby hoarder.
Hi. I'm Megan, and I'm a baby hoarder.
I stayed home with my child as much as possible.

Random treats on my phone that make my day.
Sometimes I open my phone to find some of the darnedest photos. My hubby and my little girl surprised me with some darling photos on my phone. What a treat! Granted, they aren't the highest quality, and Madison isn't even smiling. In fact, she's crying because she wanted the phone all the while her daddy is trying to make her smile.

Never!
I mean, I have tantrums sometimes.
I get mad, say things I don't mean, and do things I regret.
Shoot, sometimes I throw stuff.
Or wanna hit stuff.
It's a natural reaction to our emotion.
How do we address this with our children?
My child is what I like to call passionate.
She knows what she wants, and she knows when she wants it.
If she doesn't get it, she is mad.
Hopefully, this will Megan|BishopPlaceHandmadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03038713089596336476noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5525023592071596632.post-23219014288492245652013-08-25T21:29:00.002-05:002013-08-25T21:29:11.605-05:00Mommy Moments Linky Party!

I love all things Vintage!! I went to a local flea market recently and picked up this authentic vintage fabric. I bought it from a girl who said it came out of her Granny's sewing room. She had made lap blankets for all of her friends in the nursing home, but never got around to using this particular fabric!
Isn't it precious?? I wish you could have smelled it before I washed it.

My child doesn’t like me.
She doesn’t know that I’m her mother, and I don’t know what
to do.
Is this just a phase?

she doesn’t run to me or get excited about me. I feel l only catch her
attention when I have food or something she wants. She has never really called
me mama. When I was nursing, youMegan|BishopPlaceHandmadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03038713089596336476noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5525023592071596632.post-57368899527356591322013-07-21T18:06:00.000-05:002013-07-21T18:06:05.854-05:00Mommy Moments Linky Party

As I sit here and reflect on a few things I have had a simple revelation. Maybe a revelation that many women have had in the past, but one that is rather new to me. Women are emotional. No, no, that's not the revelation. The revelation is that we were created that way. Deep down in our core, we are emotional. We are often controlled by what we feel and how we feel.

I fall more and more in love with her everyday. I know that all moms love their children, but for me to say I'm falling in love with her more and more triggers something deeper. Something more gratifying. There was once a time when I didn't know if I loved her. I didn't know if I even really liked her.

Life is happening.
I'm not really inspired to blog.
It's not really a priority, but it did bring me joy.
I did enjoy it when I had time for it.
I'm trying to balance life and enjoy it.
I'd love to say "SO much is going on"
And I'm "too busy."
But I'm not... I just don't want to right now.
So for now, an update in pictures.

Gatlinburg, TN.
A place that is near and dear to our heart. We honeymooned there, and the area has a lot of sentimental value to each of our families. We visited the great smokies for Memorial Day weekend and got to reminisce of a simpler time.
We hiked up to Laurell Falls. Terrible idea- for me at least. I wore Madison on the way up and down in her Moby.

I was lucky to have a little bit of a crafting outlet this past week. It was fun to be "back in the saddle" for a bit and make these cuties for a little guy and his big sister.
