let's stop the judgement!

I want to start this off by saying that I am in no way perfect 

and am definitely at fault for doing this myself. 

I just think we need to confront it head on... 
We as women need to listen to each other 
and actually hear what the other women are saying.

We as women need to be so much more supportive to each other than we are. 

In everything... 

In motherhood {& everything that comes with it}... 

In body image... 

In relationships...

Let's just support each other! 

Stop judging each other and love each other for who we are. 

We are all different but yet we're all the same. 

We all come from different places 

and have different relationships 

and lives, but we all have feelings 

and we all have to be willing not only to see the difference{s} but understand them.

I love just like you do. 

I see faults in myself every.single.time I look in the mirror just like you. 

I have rough days and amazing days just like you. 

I have special qualities just like you. 

I work so hard to be happy just like you. 

I feel just like you. 

I don't want to care that you breastfed your kid when I didn't...

I don't want to care that you feed your kids all organic when I feed my kids whatever...

I don't want to care that you are in perfect shape and I am so far from it it's not even funny...

I don't want to care that you have a best friend but I don't...

I just want to see you 

and know you 

and love you for who you are.

In all your beautiful, amazing, funny, charming, sweet glory!

So why can't we just support each other and say I understand... 

I'm here for you no matter what.

So this is what I propose that we stop judging 

and start supporting each other no matter 

our differences or our similarities!

Our Love Story

I am linking up with Becky from Mrs. to Mama for her What's your love story linky party. I thought it would be fun to share with you our little journey to where we are today! :)

1. How long have you and your significant other been together?


It will be 5 years in April.

2. How did you meet? {What's your "love" story?}


Our friends introduced us at his hockey game. He was getting ready to go play and we only said hi to each other but he asked my friends boyfriend if we could all go to dinner after the game and we did and then we have been together ever since that!


3. If married, how long have you been married? If not, is this the guy you hope to marry? {do tell}


We will have been married for 4 years in June.

4. If you are married, where did you get married at? Big or small wedding? If not, where would you like to get married? And will it be big or small? 


We got married at the The Old Church downtown Portland, OR and then our reception was in West Linn, OR at the Oregon Golf Club. It was a big wedding with about 250 guests. 


5. Do you have any nick-names that you call one another? Do share!


I call him honey and that's about it. He stopped calling me baby after we got married. :(


6. Name 3 things you love most about your honey.


He is strong, caring and willing to do anything it takes to take care of us. He works so hard so that I can have the chance to stay home with our son. Oh and he's the best daddy in the world!


7. Tell us how he proposed? Or your ideal proposal?


We got engaged in Disneyland. We went on vacation there about 4 months after we met and started dating. It wasn't a huge surprise because I had a suspicions about it because we were talking about it for awhile. The actual proposal took place at the Blue Bayou restaurant {in the Pirate's of the Caribbean ride} it was after we had eaten dinner and he said, "can I ask you something without you getting mad or upset with me?" and it totally threw me off! Then he said, "Libby Wilson, will you marry me?" And then I got really excited and happy {I did not cry which was a huge shock to us both because I cry over EVERYTHING!} and then a lady at a table next to us started yelling 'kiss her, kiss her' and so he did. It was quite funny actually.

8. Is he a flowers and teddy bear kind of guy for v-day, or strawberries, champagne, and rose petals? 


I think I'd have to say flowers and teddy bear kind of guy. He's romantic but not extravagant kind of romantic.


9. Are you a sunset dinner on the beach kind of girl, or pop a movie in and relax on the couch?


It totally depends on my mood. I love the romantic dinners and spending time with my honey but I also love a good relaxing night on the couch with him.


10. Tell us one thing you'd like to do with your significant one day. If you could do anything? Go anywhere?


I want to go to Italy, Greece, Austria, France, Germany, and Australia someday!


11. Tell us what you plan on doing this Valentine's Day.


Ha ha well on Vday this year we are not doing anything. But we are going to celebrate on the 17th because it's his day off and when we could get a grandma to watch our little man for us.


12. Are you asking for anything this Valentine's Day?


Yes, the Breaking Dawn movie and a Dressing on the Side t-shirt.


13. Give us one piece of advice for keeping a relationship strong and full of love. 


Talk out your problems. Don't just let them stew because that just makes things 10x worse! Communication is the key to a good relationship and it's not just a cliche... it really is the key to being in a happy relationship.


14. Show us a picture of what love means to you. 

Happy Day Project

I've been reading about this Happy Day Project for the last couple weeks now on other peoples blogs. 

And I decided that I definitely want to be a part of it. 

It's such an amazing thing to do for people to maybe brighten it up just a little bit. 

If you want to know more about this project, click here and read on!

I will be starting in next week since it's now Tuesday but it will give me some time to get everything together and ready to deliver on starting on Monday. 

Why don't you join in too?

Stop Worrying

Lonely

Have you ever felt lonely? 

My eyes are ever on the LORD, 

for only he will release my feet from the snare.

Turn to me and be gracious to me, 

for I am lonely and afflicted. 

Relieve the troubles of my heart and 

free me from my anguish.

Psalms 25:15-17

Well I do right now. 

I feel abandoned and lonely! 

Ever since my son was born I have seen less and less of my friends. 

I know it's not because they don't still love me, it's because we are in different parts of our lives now. 

It really, totally sucks.

I don't have many friends who actually have kids that I can get together with and have play dates. 

I started blogging around the time I stopped seeing most of my friends regularly. 

I think it was a way for me to try to find friends in my area. 

People who have kids and would enjoy hanging out with Zane & me and not just want to see me without him. 

But I still haven't found anyone really. 

I have started following people who live close to me but we haven't connected or even really spoken through e-mail or anything. 

I have tried but no one has really been that responsive at all. 

Which is fine I don't expect people to jump at the 

chance to be my friend.

I'd just love to have someone to talk to or go out with. 

Even have a girls night with once & awhile.

I am just so fucking lonely! 

I need someone to share my mommy stresses with, 

someone who will understand and not just blow it off like it's not important. 

I feel like having a child has made me a leper. 

I am not at all saying that I would EVER change my life!!

I love every single second I have with my son. 

I just need an adult friend who understands the trials & tribulations of being a mommy.

I know, I know I sound like a whiney bitch, 

but come on don't I deserve to have people in this world who want to hang out with me, 

talk to me, 

love me, 

understand me, 

and all that comes along with a friendship?

Source

I think I do! 

Actually I know I do. 

I am just very unlucky in finding it.

Maybe someday someone will come into my life and finally be there for me forever as my friend.

A girl can hope right?

Wordless Wednesday

mommy - baby snuggle time... i love every single second
(very rare in this house. he's WAY too busy to want to snuggle with mommy!)

Royal Wedding

So my morning was consumed with watching all things Royal Wedding. I recorded the wedding so that I cold watch it when I woke up because there is no way I could have gotten up to watch it when I have to watch the boy all day by myself with no help since daddy is still gone. He will be home tonight but still I would have been exhausted if I got up to watch it so I just chose to record and watch this morning when the boy and I got up.

I have to say that this wedding to me was absolutely amazing. I cried... I don't know them but I cried because it is such an amazingly sweet moment between two people and you can tell that they love each other so very much and the fact that they let the entire world into their wedding was amazing. I was also born in the same year as both of them so to me I feel a small connection with them because of that. I love her dress it was absolutely stunning. Everything about it was just perfect and I know there will be many, many knock offs all over the world for future brides to wear.

I also feel for Prince William and not having his mother there. I can't imagine how he was feeling because I know how close he was to her and how much he misses her. But to have his new bride wear her ring is amazing. It is such an awesome tribute to his mom.

Overall I have to say it was absolutely beautiful! I loved every minute of it. It was SOOO romantic and made me go back in my mind to my wedding day and think about how happy & excited I was to marry my best friend and to see that happen to two very special people on national television was truly amazing. So thank you Prince William & Princess Kate for letting us in on your special day! I will never forget it.

So my one word to sum it all up: STUNNING
