August is the month of birthdays for our family. There’s my nephew, my brother-in-law. my daughters, and mine. There has been much cake eating. We had what was possibly the happiest birthday party ever to celebrate M’s third birthday. What’s happier than a rainbow party? Everything was bright and colorful and made you want to […]
It’s hard to believe it’s already been a month since our sweet baby Rose joined our family. What a joy. Our snuggly little “squeaker box” is a perfect teeny little addition. We all love her to pieces.
Planning for my daughter’s birthday party put me in the mood for something sweet. Cake, cookies, candy. Just a little something sweet. We don’t typically keep sweet things in the house. Occasionally a bar of dark chocolate or ice cream. I have too much of a sweet tooth and very little will power when it […]
My husband discovered he really enjoys gardening, so the size of our produce garden quadrupled. Watermelon, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, eggplant, bell peppers, tomatoes, cantaloupe, swiss chard, kale, pumpkin, zucchini, leeks, celery, bok choy and a variety of herbs. My garden is insane and full to the brim with zucchini. Virtually all of our plants are […]
August first marked the start of the new school year for us, and I will confess I did a little happy dance that day. B was ready to go back to school. And while 7:15 comes entirely too soon for me, I love getting back into a routine. I love that little downtime between dropping […]
Just over three weeks ago, my sweet baby Rose decided to make her grand appearance. While I had a gut feeling she’d be an early arrival, I’d had hoped to make it a little further along than 35 weeks. Que sera, sera. I have three healthy babies to snuggle with. Adjusting to life with three […]
It’s become a nonstop whirlwind in my corner of the world. Vacation, work, parties, doctor appointments and major cleaning/painting projects have ruled my life over the past week, and I’m ready for a breather. A brief recap of my week: The kid’s rooms have been switched over. B’s room is painted and decorated, minus his […]
Not even ten am, and my day is already in full swing. Amazing how children change your life. Six years ago, my husband and I welcomed our six pound bundle into our lives. The days of sleeping in on off days and doing as we pleased when we pleased were put on hold, if not […]
Today marks the first day of summer vacation. Yesterday, B said farewell to kindergarten. I’m looking forward to having him home with us throughout the weekdays for a bit. I have a feeling the next two months are, unfortunately, going to pass by in the blink of an eye. Between our mini vacation next week, […]
Three things I just don’t have enough of. There aren’t enough hours in the day. I have a limited supply of energy. There is never enough cash to tackle everything. The last few months have flown by and have been jammed packed. Most of my family’s activities are connected to this sweet little thing… She’s […]
