You find out your pregnant, and you spend your time learning all you can about becoming a mother and preparing for your child but what about postpartum preparation? Why are we not told about the things to come after having a baby? We are basically told to “just heal.” According to huffpost.com, “The consequences of […]
Right out of college in 2010, the economy was terrible. Our professors were telling us basically to just stay in school because the likeliness of getting a job were slim. Like what?! I just went to college for 4 years, worked my tail off, made good grades and for what nothing?! Ok… maybe not for […]
What mom doesn’t stress over their kid’s birthday party? I had other moms pressuring me all the time about Sutton’s first birthday party… “What is the theme?” “Have you bought anything yet?” “Have you set the date?” “What are you getting him?” “Where will it be?” I’m sitting here like HE IS ONE people calm […]
Today, you are 1! I want you to know that you were no mistake or “oops, I’m pregnant.” You were so wanted and prayed for my child. I prayed the verse Psalm 113:9. “He settles the childless woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the LORD.” God’s timing was perfect to […]

Today, I decided it was time to dust off the ole keyboard and update my readers on life in the Copeland household. I know it has been awhile since I have written a post but honestly I have not felt compelled to write this offseason (what baseball families call fall/winter). It was our first offseason […]
Life has been crazy as one can imagine going from Seoul back to America to find out we are pregnant to S leaving for Buffalo to trying to organize my life with all the craziness in between. With that being said, the first couple of weeks I was sick and tired all the time so really had […]
To catch you up to date, remember we started the year with the Blue Jays, and S reported to AAA in Buffalo then we got our contract purchased from the LG Twins and ended up in Seoul, South Korea pretty quickly. Of all the baseball experiences we have encountered, this was the craziest. We were […]
OMG y’all, I can’t believe it is already the end of June. We arrived in Seoul around April 11th and it is almost July. It is so crazy how fast our time here has flown by. S and I have adjusted so well that we tell each other that we are “so Korean” hence the […]
