Daily Reids VlogBlog 1: Random Family Life Update
Hey, guysss! It’s Q4 already. The final quarter or 2019. I hate to say it, but I’ve found myself in a dry patch where blog posts are concerned. I am at a loss with topics and though I try not to ‘post just to post’, that’s exactly what I’m doing right now and I have [...]
Siobhàn Is TWO!
2 Years Old On October 13, 2018, my angel turned two years old. Can you believe it? How we got here so fast, I will never know. It's a wonder I didn't bawl like I did when she turned one. My beautiful, sweet, happy, smart child. I am so proud of her. I walk around [...]
Baby Reid No.2?
These last few weeks, watching Siobhán grow like a weed and immersing myself completely in the experience of being her mom, I've been hit with an unexpected conundrum, baby fever.

Lessons in Motherhood
If motherhood has taught me nothing else, it is the true meaning of the phrase "beautiful mess" and the preciousness in appreciating every day and not letting life pass you by. This whirlwind of a journey has been indescribable from the start, but more importantly, I now understand the true preciousness of time and living in the [...]
Jamaica’s Perception of Discipline

Becoming Mother: 6 Months Update
I had my daughter 6 months go today. WOW! Just... wow! Already I have found myself several times over looking at pics from the day (night) she was born. She changed, grown so much. Will it always be this fast? My heart might not be able to take this. I love this kid so much! It's [...]
Becoming Mother: 3 Months Update
So much has happened in the land of new motherhood since my last blog post, it's very hard to believe its only been 14 weeks (or 101 days). My life before giving birth has actually started to blur already. (Whadya know?) Siobhán's hit a few milestones already and has me feeling like I'll blink and she'll be [...]
Pregnancy to Becoming Mother
Now that First Pregnancy Series is over, I am taking on the next chapter, Becoming Mother. I stare at her a lot. Cuddle her, kiss her, sniff her. I'm so proud. The little voice that squeals "I made her inside me!" has not yet gone away. Production at Shan's Uterus R Us is up and live! [...]
