We love our stroller. In fact, other than the Snap ‘n Go for the infant car seat, we only own ONE stroller. A phil&teds. For us it was a really smart buy since we knew we were planning on having multiple kids back-to-back. It was an expensive purchase, but we justified it by only having one

Forget the Wife, Everyone Needs An Alice
Many of you know that I watch Big Love. For those of you clueless of the show’s premise – it’s a drama about polygamy. I can’t tell you how many actual conversations I’ve had with different moms that somehow end up with one of us saying, “If only I had a wife”. And it doesn’t matter
Kid Cup Craze & Forgive Me, For I Have Sinned
Last night while I was unloading the dishwasher, I realized just how many kid cups we have…it’s crazy. Part of this is due to our kids’ weird birthday requests. Stella asked for a Dora cup for her 3rd b-day and Charlotte asked for a Cinderella cup for her 2nd b-day – shown as Exhibits 8 &
Whatcha Might Not Know…March Madness & XU Basketball
I LOVE March Madness. Next to the Tour de France it’s my favorite sport season. Although I’ve always liked basketball, I went to Xavier for 7 years (undergrad & grad) and believe my love of the sport definitely grew during that time. I think part of it was due to the fact that I was a Resident
10K Tuesday – Motivation Is Up!
The 10K training is back in full swing. I managed to get on the treadmill most mornings at 4:30 AM…yep, still crazy! But the best thing about this past week is the fact that I took my workout OUTDOORS two days in a row over the weekend. Although blustery, I bundled up on Saturday, loaded both
Here Comes Peter Cottontail and Other Hippity-Hoppities
Spring Fever continued on the crafting side as well this weekend: A little touch of March Madness…GO XU! It’s almost flip-flop weather! Then we can all scream for ice cream… Anyone feeling crabby?
Spring Fever
Although a bit windy (ok, so it was almost Dorothy-heading-to-Oz-windy)…I couldn’t help but spend most of the day outside yesterday. The kids played on the patio while Andy & I did some spring cleaning of our flower beds. I hope you have a great Sunday, enjoy the pictures:
Lisa Leonard Jewelry – This Saturday’s Shout-Out
A long time ago I was reading a blog and came across Lisa Leonard Jewelry. Ever since then I have wanted to order something, but never did. However, I kept noticing her jewelry everywhere – blogs, magazines, etc. I decided that as soon as I decided we were done having kids, I’d pick out something and
Ten on Ten – My First Attempt
This is my first attempt at what is called “Ten on Ten”. The concept is that once a month on the 10th you take a photo an hour for ten consecutive hours. Then you post them on your blog and link them up on Ten on Ten. The purpose is “to find life and beauty among
There Are Other Professions Besides Princesses
Stella dreaming about princesses: The following is a conversation Stella and I had yesterday morning right before she left for daycare: Scene: Mudroom Stella – Mommy, hold me.(I, of course, scoop her up and snuggle tight.)Me – I need you to quit growing.Stella – Why?Me – Because I want you to stay little and always
Whatcha Might Not Know…Lent
I am Catholic. I went to church today at lunch to receive my ashes. Luckily, no one stopped me in the hall at work this afternoon to inform me of “toner” on my forehead. Yes, that really happened numerous years while living in Alabama – could be because only 3% of the state is Catholic. Actually,
