Taking a Blogging Break

Hi blog friends. I just wanted to let you know that I have decided to take a little break from blogging.  Recently, I began to feel more of an obligation to blog rather than enjoyment from it, so for now I am going to step back from writing.  I truly appreciate all of the support …

Hold Your Horses… it’s H Week!

Two weeks ago was technically H week but we ended up traveling to see hubs' family so I decided to take an extra week and cover H this past week as well. Aadie wasn't really into learning about a new letter because there was so much excitement around her (I can't blame her). Since doing …

Self Care & Accountability is NOT “Being Selfish”.

Recently I have been doing a lot of thinking about self care and the accountability that goes along with it.  Being a SAHM it would be just too easy to put myself on the back burner, forget all of my goals and passions in life and fade away into the shadows. Luckily for me, that …

2 months in… we are *mostly* vegan, and I’m OK with that.

Teaching pronouns to children can be really difficult if they don't just pick it up by themselves at a young age.  Think about it... I am I, but to you I am you or your, sometimes, depending on the situation I am also me or my.  You are you or your to me, but to …

How I Grocery Shop With an Infant and a Toddler… (in 27 easy to follow steps)

Ohhh grocery shopping. It is one of those necessary evils in life. I feel like I need a disclaimer here that this is SUCH a "mom post". Anyway... No matter what time of day or day of the week I plan to go, or how prepared I feel I am with my meal plans, list …

Flips, Finger Paint & Fishies… it’s F week.

Last week we learned all about the letter F.  My parents were still here for some of it and Aadie was very excited that they got to watch her/ take part in some of the activities! We took full advantage of having family together and had some family portraits done of my parents, brother, myself, …

Eggstra Exciting “E” Week

A couple weeks ago was E week on our letter of the week journey.  It was a light week, project wise, BUT it was exciting because Daddy was on vacation AND Nainy and Grampy came to visit! Aadie had a great time telling them the letter we were learning about and all of the other …

Oh, potty training…

Potty training, or more specifically, toots. What would be a better topic for a mama to get back into writing about? We are most of the way there when it comes to potty training. She's got the concept and most of the time she does a great job. Lately we've been having some "false alarms" …
