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, …

A Dreary but Delightful D Week

This week we learned about all things D. It was kind of a dreary week, cool and rainy more days than not. Nevertheless we were able to have a great week and Aadie definitely  learned that D says /d/ for "Daddy and duck!" so I think overall it was a win. hah! Dinosaurs were big …

Mama Needs a ‘Time Out’.

I have found that one of the most challenging parts of staying home with the kids is that they are on completely different schedules. Of course this will get easier as they grow, but some days (like today) it sucks the life out of me. Hubs got home this afternoon, took one look at me …

‘C’ You Later!

We are just getting ready to say 'c' you later! to C week.  We had another great LoW week!  Aadie also decided that she would potty train herself this week (yay right?) so we ended up spending a lot of time inside and didn't venture too far from home.  She's doing awesome though! I'm so …

If I could freeze this moment in time… a letter to my son.

My sweet boy,  You just woke up after only 2 hours of sleep tonight. I climbed the stairs as you screamed for me and when I walked into the room you stopped. Without seeing me you knew that it was Mama. You knew that you would soon be safely wrapped up in my arms. You …

Here’s to YOU! Super nice lady who works at Trader Joe’s.

I recently visited our local Trader Joe's to scout out some vegan ingredients and stock up on healthier snack options for my family.  It's about a 25 minute ride, so not terrible for toddler and baby, but I don't go very often because I have tons of other options that are much closer.  I go …

Yea, apparently sometimes I’m ‘that’ Mom…

Now that it's been about a month that I have been a sahm I am realizing the challenges that come along with it.  Not that I thought everything would be sunshine and rainbows all the time but until I was elbows deep in this new life of mine I didn't fully know what to expect. …

Things I Love About Nursing My Baby

First and foremost I want to say that I am in 100% FULL agreement that fed-is-best when it comes to the whole bottle vs breast debate. Whether or not you breast or bottle feed, I think we can all agree that at the end of the day a full belly and a happy baby is …

PSA: We’ve been doing it all wrong!

Just a quick PSA to let you know we've been doing it all wrong! Yes, you heard me... We've been carrying the carseat wrong all this time!!! HOLD THE PHONE PEOPLE.... please tell me I am not the only one who didn't know that this was the wrong way to carry a carseat?! My friend, …

Appreciation Post … to the woman who took care of my babies.

  It was not an easy thing for me to leave my helpless infant with a stranger. Somehow, you made it bearable. It was never expected that you be more than a daycare provider. However, you are always there when I need you. I never anticipated that I would spend time with you outside of work. …
