The last few days have been a little rough in the Vale household. Addilyn got her first cold which has turned into some very restless nights and fussy days. I'm hoping it is the cold and not just a new stage. Combine that with some stress from Chris' work and continuing new mom hormones, and I have had an emotional few days.
In the past one of the things that has helped me relieve some stress was working out. I would feel so much better going for a run or doing a kick boxing video. Now that seems like an option way down on the list of things that would help relieve some stress. Taking a nap or calling my sister definitely beat it out.
Unfortunately the thing that I tend to choose lately is to eat whatever dessert we have in the house. Which today is this banana cake. You see I can't take a nap with a crying baby, or have a good conversation on the phone. I definitely can't work out with a crying baby. But eating a cake right out of the pan. That I've managed to do. And yes. It does help a little bit.

The other day at school I was so stressed and overwhelmed I went and got a Dairy Queen blizzard for lunch! I go to sweets when I'm stressed for sure! Haha! I love the way you knotted your maxi skirt! Such a relaxed look but still so stylish! :) I hope baby girl feels better! Lots of kiddo's at my school are catching colds too. Boo...
love you my friend.
You deserve a little cake in your life my friend! Praying for a better week for you next week. :)
I love our phone calls. I am so sorry the last few days have been tough. So call me and eat some cake. You will make it through this!
I am a FIRM believer in cake as over-the-counter antidepressant!! And I love the look of the knotted maxi... I need to try that next time I wear one. Kicks it up a notch!
I hope Addilyn feels better! Get some rest momma!
Girlfriend, we are going through so many of the same things at the same time!!! Kendall got sick and was very fussy and had some restless nights and I was very scared that the child I thought I had was gone and was replaced with a crier. But I'm here to tell you that my girl is back to her old self again. It took a little while, but she is doing much better. And eat that cake, you so deserve it. PS love the necklace!!!
Praying sweet baby girl is feeling better soon. And, sometimes ya just gotta eat the cake!!!
Aw, I hope she's feeling better! And I totally support eating cake out of the pan!

Yes...cake always helps. ALWAYS! I hope sweet baby girl feels better. Restless nights/days are so hard.
I hope Addilyn gets better soon!! I TOTALLY know what you mean. We've had some fussy nights recently and it is TOUGH. Praying for you, mama!
Love the simple but put together outfit. All I want to do is eat cookie dough bites right now. Hope addi feels better soon.

Hope things get better! I remember when my little brother had pneumonia as 2 month-old. It was so scary, but they're definitely stronger than they look. Addilyn will be back to smiling soon! You can keep eating cake until then ;)

Ah, yes...eating cake does make it better sometimes. Soon you'll have a system that fits in the things you enjoy. I think it took me about six months to get back into working out after my oldest was born. It wasn't until she was napping consistently that I knew I had enough time to get in a workout while she slept. This is not unique to you. Hang in there! :)
Love the knotted maxi skirt look! & banana cake...drool!!

Keep lots of banana cake around. Before you know it you will have time to get in a good workout. But for now, just eat that cake. :)
Eating cake definitely helps! I hope Addilyn gets over the cold soon and you can get some sleep!

Well it seems to be cold season..which means lots of ordering pizza in the Bracco household.. hope baby girl feels better. And love the way you knotted your maxi!! You did this for me....didn't you? haha ;)
Dessert can be a pretty great stress reliever. Said by me, giant sugar addict. But seriously, do what you need to do to get through the tougher times! I hope sweet Addilyn is feeling better, and I hope you start to feel better emotionally! You look absolutely beautiful!
I hope your princess gets better and hopefully next week won't be too stressful! Also, lovely comfortable outfit.
