3 Things

Three things is a fun little series where I share three things that are on my mind. Things that could make me happy. Things that I simply need help with. A little this and that.

Just three things.

You can find all past 3 things posts here!

I am so glad the girls at She Reads Truth have started a podcast! I not only love their material, but I love how they use the whole podcast to simply discuss what they read each week. No nonsense. No promoting books or other products. No ads popping in and out. Simply truth. Be sure to check it out!

I am planning a trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and I will be taking Liam. Do you have any suggestions for baby-friendly restaurants and exhibits? We will be staying in a cabin (with Uncle T!), and we are close to all the main Gatlinburg attractions. We will be going to Pigeon Forge and Dollywood too. I’d love to have any and all recommendations. I have been there multiple times, but I haven’t been since 2001. (Show choir at its finest! We saw Dolly!) I cannot believe it has been so long. I think my first visit was around 1988. I know a lot has changed and new stuff has been added. What are your thoughts on Parrot Mountain? Or the Penguins? Suggestions for a road trip with baby? I need your help, folks!

Becoming a mom at any time can be overwhelming, but lately I have no energy. Liam is a busy little fella. He wants to go Go GO nonstop if he can. I need to learn balance. When do we decide to go out and do things? When should we just stay home? It’s a constant push and pull. Do you have any recommendations of things to do for one year olds? Before you comment, here are a few things to note: We have no community park or playground equipment, we live in a very rural area (hello 500 acres of farmland!), no active library program within 30 minutes, we go to church every week, and there are no babies his age that stay home with their moms (I do have a couple sweet friends who are SAHMs, but their kids are a little older than Liam and can do more activities. One friend is pregnant, so YAY babies!) I’d love for some recommendations for fun Mommy and Me outings!
