New Year. New Name.

There will be several changes that take place in our life this year (post about that coming soon). But among those changes…I also wanted to start this New Year with a change in my blog name. I wanted a name that wouldn’t disclose too much personal information (you know…like a first and last name would. Who would ever do something like that?!). :) So, I started playing around with different titles/names and quickly realized that I also wanted something that was much more light and fun! A name that would bring me joy (I’m all about finding the joy in life anymore!). And a name that I could grow with, literally. “All Because of You” implied that my blog was all about one child (and we do plan on extending our family). So…I simply started to think of all the things that were common in my house and that made me…smile. And one thing kept coming to my mind: BEDHEAD!

For some reason, the sight of bed head on a child just makes me smile and brings me the greatest joy. And if you’re a child of mine…you’re destined for some crazy bed head with all of those curls.

The spirit of a room created by children’s laughter and happiness (especially one filled with children who have utter bed head)…is absolutely wonderful. If you’re fully engaged in the moment, the air begins to feel lighter and all your worries and frustrations start to fade away. Trust me…even if it only lasts for a short while…being in “that moment” is magical. Every night, shortly after we all get home from work and daycare, Rylie has already stripped herself down to one piece of clothing and she has already pulled the rubber bands from her hair…leaving her with the biggest case of bed head ever! And we…laugh! That’s what we do. Our evenings are usually spent de-stressing from the work day. Relaxing. Enjoying time together as a family. And laughing as our bed-headed child runs freely through our home. And it’s magical!

I love me some bedheaded babies!!!
