Growing Pains

I feel like every post I write should be named this, lately. Bea is going through a  rough patch at the moment. I’m sure this is due entirely to that fact that Sean and I were discussing, just last week, how sweet, compliant, and happy she has been recently. We even went so far as [...]

7 Quick Takes

Joining Grace this week, since Jen has her hands full with her sweet baby boy (who is finally home from the hospital!). 1. What’s that, you say? You don’t want to hear about the crap-tastic weather we are having here in Central Illinois? I take it the weather where you are is equally as rainy/cold/not [...]

Five Favorites

Linking up with the always lovely Hallie for the first time! As I was writing this post in my head this morning (you do that don’t you?), I suddenly realized that my first three ‘favorites’ were all subscription boxes. It turns out, I may have a leeeetle bit of a problem/addiction to these. Subscription boxes [...]

Linking up with Camp Patton today! Happy Easter to you and your beautiful families! I’m having a hard time thinking of words to accompany these pictures, since I am shaking from consuming too much chocolate/cookies/bunny graham crackers/you name it, I ate it. In other words, it was a good day. I broke two of my [...]

Joining Jen and the Quick Takers once again. 1. Life has been pretty quiet around here. Like half the country, we’re waiting for winter to be over and it appears to be taking it’s sweet time. There’s been a lot of snowman building and cocoa drinking happening in our neck of the woods. It’s nice [...]

Flu Days

The past few weeks have been a blur of fevers, cranky toddlers, coughing fits and elderberry syrup. The flu epidemic of 2012/2013 hit our house just before the New Year and has only just left us. We came through relatively unscathed, although I would advise you to never google, “my 5-month-old has the flu,” at [...]

We had a lovely Thanksgiving ’round here.  To my husband’s delight, I had a long list of chores for him to do, most of which him/we got done.  We feasted on not one, but two Thanksgiving dinners.  We watched not one, but two football games (my absolute limit).  And we gave Bea not one, but [...]

Since the birth of my sweet, new baby (who can no longer be considered a newborn, even though my abs of butter are still acting two-days-postpartum), I’ve been avoiding all cameras like the plague.  However, when Grace at Camp Patton proposed a What I wore to Thanksgiving Dinner link-up, I decided to join in.  I’d [...]

The Doggies (and their towel)

Some children grow attached to a stuffed animal.  Others devote themselves to a blankie, or even a well-loved pacifier.  Bea, however, likes to do things a little differently. She has decided to cleave, body and soul, to three small, plastic dogs and a little green towel.  They are collectively known as “The Doggies and their [...]

I’m still sifting through everything, most of it is junk, but a few gems have been discovered. Take this for instance, A birthday card in honor of my 16th year from my younger brother.  He was eight-years-old [...]

Today was a nice, quiet Wednesday in our house. We started with the very best intentions of leaving the house and running a million errands. But then we became immersed in a thrilling game of “dress the animals.” And boy did we dress those animals. Not a patch of skin showing on any of them. [...]

Wrong Place, Wrong Time

Yesterday, I decided to venture out of the house, avec les peanuts, to a place other than the Starbucks drive-thru.  I settled on the park because I thought it would be a soft landing, and my sous chef considers the swings to be a sort of mobile Garden of Eden.  It was about  four in [...]

…is not even close to our family motto at the moment. We’re embracing more of a “Just Say No” philosophy these days. The movement is being led by my sous chef, of course.

And yet, I’ve gone way over the “recommended weight gain” for my height/age/bmi. [...]
