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…
I bet you didn’t know that August was Happiness Happens Month. So every day I found something that made me happy: Day #1 – Popcorn & Diet Coke Day #2 – Put Stevie on the swings for the first time Day #3 – Seeing Stevie watch Elmo so contently Day #4 – Having NOTHING on…
Baby: The most notable thing from this month is the amount of babbling he’s doing. He’s blowing raspberries and saying “beh, bah, byah”. He likes to feel new tooth #2 (bottom middle) with his tongue. He is laughing more and thinks its hilarious when I’m surprised at his coughs or loud noises. We are not…
All I can say is “Holy Crap.” My new girl crush for sure. I saw her back in 2009, and of course she was great. But this time, she was even more polished and just plain ol’ fabulous. She canceled her show back in June, so when I saw that she was rescheduled for the…
