Just an FYI. If you visit here and the site is DOWN, I’m in the process of moving to WordPress this week! Wish me luck. I’m going to need it on this new learning adventure. Once I’m up and running, I’m hoping to return to a more regular schedule of posts this summer.
School is almost over for Stella. It’s hard to believe she finishes Kindergarten tomorrow. We have lots of fun activities planned for the summer. One thing I know she’ll keep doing is reading. We are blessed that she loves to sit down and read to herself. I wanted to find a way to keep reading
Today is both my birthday and wedding anniversary. Here’s some insight in numbers. 12 = years of marriage 25 = age when I got married 37 = years of life (so you don’t have to do the math) 8 = months of engagement 4 = hours to travel to our wedding
Stella’s note to her daycare teacher. She’s delivering it tomorrow. If you read yesterday’s post, you know I was focused on the mom who is ending her maternity leave and heading back to work. I appreciate all of your comments on Facebook. You added such great insights and positive thinking for a mom during a
I know a lot of mommas who just recently had babies. (What was in the water!?!??!) And a couple of those mommas will be returning to work shortly. And some are brand new to mommy-hood. I’m not going to lie…going back to work is not easy…with your first child or your third. It’s
Why I haven’t posted on here in almost a week. Hopefully you’ve been following along on Instagram or Facebook. 1. Henry stopped napping. 2. The weather was really super nice this past week. As in, SHORTS weather. Stella learned how to ride her bike and we’ve spent many hours in our cul-de-sac
Did you know that Clifford turned 50 this year? Yep, the big 5-0! Here in Cincinnati, our local PBS station, CET, gave Clifford a big birthday party back in February. And, of course, we attended the FREE event. Over 200 of Clifford’s closest friends came to celebrate at the station. Even Mr. Red.
Being a parent can sometimes be scary. Like when your 7-month-old wakes up with a swollen neck and you find yourself at a hospital for over a week and then giving consent to put your baby to sleep for surgery. Not a fun memory. However, the staff at Cincinnati Children’s made our experience a positive one. And
As a woman and mommy and blogger, I took the PLEDGE to be nice online. Why? Um, you shouldn’t have to ask. Mainly because it’s the right thing to do and women just need to be nicer to one another…online, in person, at work, at play groups, etc. And this is a great online
Stella has been fortunate to have Zak Morgan as her school’s Artist in Residence for a few weeks. And I was even lucky enough to have my volunteer day in January be the same day she had a session with Zak Morgan. His program was “designed to encourage our kids to unleash their imaginations”. The
I have a love/hate relationship with Play-Doh. It definitely makes a mess. And, to me, it’s a commitment to get it out. But I love it because it will keep my kids happy for HOURS. Here are my Play-Doh guidelines/reminders: I only get it out every 6-8 weeks. I think this keeps the “excitement” of
