Seven.

Meet the family!

My daughter Harper is my purpose for life. She inspires me to be a better person than I could have ever imagined. I’ve dreamed about having a daughter since I was a little girl, and she’s absolutely perfect. Whiney, but super sweet! 😉 She turned one in January. Her favorite thing is being outside. She would sit out there all day, every day, rain or shine, if I’d let her. She loves reading, her TV shows, dancing, and bath time.

My husband is my rock and best friend. I couldn’t imagine a better father for my children and I’m so lucky he chose me to be his wife! We got married 9-10-11 and have since enjoyed typical newlywed adventures such as buying a home and starting a family. His biggest hobby is running/working out, and he loves watching movies. Trying to get him into being a Mr. Fix-it, because I’m ready to start some big house projects around here!.. Our honey-do list remains stagnant for now… We have a lot of fun just relaxing at home and spending time with Harper and the pets..and that seems to take up all of our time.

Here are the kitties, Maxi and Harlow. Sisters – and they are good (BIG) cats. They have a great life of eating, sleeping, and playing.

Our newest member of the family:

Hudson
Cooper
Bentley
Achilles
Simba
Vandy
Winston

Shadow! The Golden Retriever.

Although I loved all of the names we picked out, he couldn’t have them all. It was very hard to decide, and for everyone to agree on one. Little guy follows me around everywhere, and plays with his shadow, so it just seemed to fit! He is a dream come true, I’ve been bugging Kyle for months to get a puppy. It’s his first inside dog, and we didn’t know how the cats would react. Luckily, they don’t mind him at all. He’s our first Golden and I’ve only heard great things about them. I am SO excited to have little Shadow and know Harper and he will become best buds.

And finally… there’s me. Hannah, the mom and wife of this family. That’s only 6….but guess what!! We’re expecting!!  This is an answered prayer, for Harper to have a sibling. We are thrilled!! Baby #2 is due September 23. I haven’t told all of the family yet, waiting for our first ultrasound and OB appointment this Wednesday. So, this blog won’t be published until at least then, but it’s a good outlet for me. This will be my third attempt at a blog, since I’ve gotten married, so I hope to keep it up! The last two times lasted a mere week, but I just want this one to focus on family and my personal affairs involving such. I love to write, and attempt to be crafty. Not so good at cooking healthy [delicious] meals, but learning as we go. I’m a stay-at-home-mom; not always an easy job, but it has a lot of perks! I have this little side project Etsy shop going on called Love and Lullabies. So far, it’s mostly just for “fun,” to give myself an opportunity to be creative and starting to make a little income for my family. It’s a lot of work; just started a couple months ago.. but feels great to be able to contribute somewhat financially. Hope to get more organized and more products, so it can grow bigger! I do have my hands full, regardless.

If you’ve gotten this far, thank you! It’s always nice to know someone else is reading, other than me!  Sevenly Bliss is my journey: through a second pregnancy, raising a one year old, taking care of our pets and the house, and being a wife. There’s so much more to it, but trying to keep this simple and to the point. Welcome!
