Guest Post on Teaching Sam & Scout



I am so grateful for the opportunity to participate in E's series, 31 Days of Making It Work As a Working Mom. Go on over there to check out how I, and many other women, balance working outside the home and having kids.

For those who might be clicking over from there, Welcome! Here is a little about me:

My husband and I met (and were married in less than a year!) in New Orleans, January 2011

In August 2011 we moved to Denver and that is where we had our first son, Canon, September 2012





In August 2013 we moved to Alexandria, VA - my hometown! Aaron is a middle school teacher at a small classical Christian school and I work part-time for both a church and a campus ministry at George Mason University

We are expecting boy #2 in December! You can read about our Gender Reveal here!

Even though I said I'd "never move back home", I'm having a blast discovering this city as a wife and mom and I am so glad to be close to friends and family! I blog mostly about my child, sometimes recipes, and our adventures around the east coast!

I titled this little blog "we'll be in touch" because when Aaron and I were at the beginning of dating, he never quite committed to the next date (he was a little unsure) so would just say to me "well, we'll be in touch". I never knew exactly what that meant, but lucky for me it worked out!

So glad you stopped by! Leave a comment, follow me on bloglovin' (I'll follow you back!) and I'd love to be in touch with you too!

Well...there is not really any other way to say this but... Aaron and I are having a BABY! Yep, Baby Schultz should be arriving this Labor Day. We could not be more thrilled about the news! Once we got through the 12-week ultrasound, which is what this picture is from, we were ready to spread the news! I know there are still lots of people who should have gotten phone calls, and for that I apologize that you are finding out now, but I was just ready to get it out there! And now I will answer the questions that typically follow up this kind of announcement. 1. Were you trying? Well....not exactly. From the beginning I have felt pretty strongly that we were not in control of this whole baby-making situation. I have known many women who got pregnant on birth control, or when they didn't even know they could, and those who "planned" it and then it has taken longer than hoped. I've just always been pretty sure that when the Lord determined we were ready, He'd ...

Baby Boy #3!

We are expecting baby boy #3 and since I documented a good amount of my pregnancies with the older two, I want to at least start off giving this one the same treatment! I am due May 25th, though he'll probably come around the 18th by c-section. We found out in my 18 week appointment that we were having a boy and I can honestly say I've been super excited since. With two older brothers already ruining, I mean running, the house, I'm happy to bring another boy into our crazy. This pregnancy will always be remembered by having to have my gall bladder removed at week 11. As soon as I hit 6 weeks I started having intense gall bladder pain. I've dealt with gall stones since Canon was born, but they were always singular events that would pass in about 4 hours, and this pain was consistent and all day/night long. The doctors I saw encouraged me to manage it with diet and hope to get to 16 weeks before discussing surgery. I tried everything, which pretty much meant eating noth...

what's going on

We're starting to try some rice cereal. I've been pretty sporadic about it, but after his 6 month appointment (which is NEXT WEEK!) I'll start putting "solids" into our every day routine.      Canon has found his feet! Now every diaper change is just the most fun, trying to get those toes into his mouth!   Canon is officially rolling over, both sides! This particular picture happened when I had gone into my bedroom for a hot second and came out to find him on his tummy! He can do it regularly now, though he doesn't love being on his tummy and rolls back over quickly.  Other things going on: Canon is officially sleeping unswaddled!! I guess around 2 weeks ago, we started again with the one arm out and went from there. He now sleeps in a fleece sleep sack with arms. I'm not going to lie, the process wasn't quite as daunting as I had originally thought, but I think that is because we waited until he was really ready.  ...
