Well I got one more project under my belt this week. I honestly don’t know what’s come over me! But this one was super cute, cheap and easy. I have these really old IKEA frames that I keep re-purposing, and an old Scrabble game (that has now been replaced with the much cooler Scrabble Deluxe)…
Most days are good. I want to preface this by saying that. But knowing that my itty-bitty baby is having open heart surgery in just a couple of weeks is very anxiety inducing for me. I’ve had a few rough days this month. Where I just can’t stop crying and I’m scared. My emotions are…
Baby: One of my favorite noises he makes is a little howl, just like a hound dog. So I couldn’t resist getting him this – It has been a fun month with him. We had a lot less doctor’s appointments and that was a nice little break before his upcoming surgery. He is finally sitting…
I have this one wall. It’s hosted a bookshelf and a painting or two. But I never quite knew what to do with it. So after Pinterestingaround, I realized immediately that I should do the gallery wall that I’ve often thought of. I knew it didn’t want it too matchy. And I knew I did…
On Saturday, I went to one of my oldest friend’s baby shower. Not old as in she is old, but old as in I’ve known her since the 7th Grade. It was awesome to see her all glowing with pregnancy. We participated in an array of activities, like guessing the belly size, taking a quiz…
Those were my favorite things from our weekend getaway. We took a quick trip to Palm Springs. We reserved our hotel at the last minute and decided to just GO! It was the only weekend we had available before Stephen’s big surgery in October, so we had to jump on it. Palm Springs is hot.…
Of course we all remember where we were and what we were doing 10 years ago today. The past 2 weeks I have been watching tons of shows recalling the events of 9/11 and talking about heroes and victims of the day. After so many years, it still takes my breath away seeing the second…
So I’ve been doing a little experiment. As everyone knows (because I always complain about it) Stephen isn’t the greatest sleeper. He’s been getting a LOT better as he gets bigger, but we still have a little ways to go. In order to rule out that this might be my fault because of something in…
Has anyone ever tried taking a baby to a movie and it was successful? I came so close today. SO CLOSE! I had it timed perfectly. The movie started at 2:50pm. Stevie would go down for his longer nap at about 3. That would give me just enough time to enjoy The Help, right? I…
After several years (and I’m not exaggerating about this) of pleading with my husband to get bikes, I just finally just went and got one. This encouraged my husband to get one also. So now we have bikes. Just like that. Sometimes mama needs to take matters into her own hands. I, of course, had…
