I filled up this humming bird feeder a few weeks ago and it didn’t take them very long to find it. I took this picture 2 weeks ago and now it is empty! And I stalked these little buggars like crazy to get this picture, lemme tell ya! I just love that I can see…
A Giveaway – Darling Children’s Books!
We love books around here, especially books for babies and children (at least at this phase in our lives!). Tim is from a family of avid readers, book sellers, and his mother recently retired from her career as a children’ librarian. We’ve been lucky to be able to borrow many books from her and been…
Boys ‘N Belly
I’ve had the idea for a while that I wanted some professional ‘belly pics’ during this pregnancy. I’ve never had any done before and this time I wanted to do it, if possible. I had my photographer picked out (because she’s awesome and she’s photographed our family twice in the past) until……We moved. Once we…
Gettin’ Ready – PSF
Above the crib it says “Every child is a story yet to be told” The other day The B Man helped me unpack packages of pink and purple and flowered onesies and hooded towels and sleepers and tiny socks. All the while telling me how much of a help he is going to be when…
ANOTHER First Day
Forget the fact that I forgot to take Little G’s picture until AFTER his first day of school was over. Ok, the actual day wasn’t over but his ‘first day’ was. And it technically wasn’t even a day since they started with just a half day and he only went until noon (normal schedule will…
WW – Cousins Rock!
Grace, B Man, Catherine, Daniel, Little G If someone had told me 20 years ago that my brother Larry and I would have kids close in age that would play together like crazy and enjoy each others company immensely while eating all the forbidden foods that Grandma serves up and make a cute set on…
Let’s Get Real
My life as a mother is not perfect. Quite far from it actually. As I type this my toddler is having a full on meltdown and at this point, is headed to bed over an hour early. Along with his older brother. I don’t claim to be the perfect parent and I don’t ever think…
My Left Side is Tired of Me Sleeping on My Left Side & Other Random Thoughts
Can someone please tell me why it’s SO hard to sleep the month or so before baby is born? Isn’t this when I should be getting some of my best sleep, BEFORE baby gets here? YEESH! Get a load of my “cankles!!” (no, they are NOT usually this big…) I mean WOAH. I miss my…
And the Milestones Just Keep on Comin’
I’ve been sort of agonizing over what kind of bed to get for Little G. Until yesterday. I made what we call in our family “an executive decision,” and bought one in the morning and it was delivered before lunch time was over. Done. I love it when I finally make up my mind. Although…
WW – To The Baby Girl Inside
There was a time when I thought you would never be. But someone else had a different plan. I’d gotten used to the idea of our family being me, Daddy and your brothers. I’d embraced the fact that this was our little family and I was happy. Then one day everything changed. Daddy and I…
