Hello, Beautiful!

Let's get started! My name is Brooke Segler and I am a Senior at Troy University. I love to eat, cook, be outdoors, hang out with friends, and spend time with family. I am starting this blog for one of my classes, but I am also terrible about updating about the beautiful mess I call life. I currently live with my sister and her daughter. My sister and I had our ten year plans change DRASTICALLY! I have learned to lean on her in more ways than ever! Since I am a Senior in college my rooming situation is VERY different than the average college student. I am writing this blog to give a bit of an insight on my life living with a two year old. I want to help educate others on parenthood. I also want this blog to be fun and light hearted. I am in no way trying to tell you how to raise your child! I am just simply giving some advice just in case you might be in the situation that I am currently in! I hope you enjoy!

-Brooke

The Benefits of Being Outside

Image
A two-year-old playing outside is COMPLETELY different from anything else. It is a bunch of running and make believe for sure. It is very tiresome physically and mentally. This weekend was more exhausting because we were able to celebrate our Lord and Savior and hunt Easter eggs in the yard. The list are some benefits to playing outside and ideas to keep a toddler entertained outside! 1. Increase Social Skills Anna Claire loves to be outside. She loves to run around and play with all of us. It has helped her in her social skills a lot . She has learned to ask for someone to come play with her in her playhouse. She has learned to interact with not only children her own age, but with adults too. 2. Vitamin D We live in a technology world where everything is at the tip of our finger tips. It is an awesome world we live in, but it does not beat being outside in the sunshine. This weekend Anna Claire got a great big dose of Vitamin D straight from the sunshine. It is a lot easier to p

Meet the Roomies!

Hi again! My roomies are literally the best. Yes, I may be a little biased! Our situation is not normal to everyone else, but to us it is pretty normal. I honestly would not have it any other way! Our home is filled with love, laughter, and chaos! I would not trade it for the world. A home is not complete without a pet, obviously, so we have a thirteen-year-old shih-poo that is basically deaf and almost blind, named Charlie. He is the sweetest dog too! We also have a couple of hermit crabs and their names are "Hot" and "Ew"! My sister name is Valerie and she is 29 years old! She is a little bit taller than me (she always lets me know) and she has deep red hair. She is a nurse practitioner and a mother! She has a bubbly personality, a kind heart, and she is incredibly smart! We are very close with one another. Even though she is my sister, I still consider her as one of my best friends. We do get on each other nerves, but that is life. At the end of the day, we

Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day is so much more fun when you are a kid. I say this because it was a lot of fun preparing for this day for Anna Claire. I love to give gifts. I love giving a gift to someone and to see the look on their face when the gift is given. Anna Claire got gifts this morning for Valentine's Day, and she was super excited. Valerie shopped really hard to find her little toys and candy.  I am pretty sure that if she could give her the world, she definitely would! Valerie and I went to Walmart over the weekend to prepare for this morning. Valerie got her little box of chocolate candies, poppy, which is her favorite troll, gummies and a cute little stuff frog as well. Anna Claire has a Valentine's Day party for her daycare. The moms are supposed to bring a snack that their own kid likes, so that every kid will have at least one thing that they like at the party. Valerie decided to take apple, mandarin oranges, and grapes because that is Anna Claire's favorite. Th
