Birthdays. Such joyous events. Such political nightmares. What? One of the fun things for me about being a mommy and having kids is being able to celebrate birthdays. Not that Andy and I didn’t celebrate birthdays before having kids, but it’s just different now. Celebrating a child’s birthday let’s you be a kid again yourself. I’m
We’ve all been suffering sinus yuck at our house this week and I’m posting this late, and then backdating! I’m linking up with Emily again for Embrace the Camera. It really has me focusing more on getting in the picture instead of always behind the camera. And if you need some new music to add to
Anyone remember that episode of Friends about Monica’s secret closet? Chandler discovers that there is one closet in their apartment that has never been opened. Monica claims that there’s nothing important inside, only “feminine stuff”. Later, Chandler finally opens the closet and finds out that Monica has her own “chaotic space”, as all obsessive-compulsive people
I posted this picture a few days ago when I shared with ya’ll how much I love my stroller. It’s been so nice to take my exercise routine outdoors lately and get out of the dungeon-like basement and off of the treadmill. It’s also nice to catch up with neighbors that I haven’t seen since
Last week a friend sent me this LINK and I just had to make the hair bow holder above – because I needed another craft project, right? But seriously, the girls so desperately needed a spot for all of their hair bows to be displayed instead of crammed into a bin inside their dresser drawer. The instructions
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
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
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 &
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
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
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?
