Someone has stolen my child and given me a monkey in her place

Right now Brooklyn is at my least favorite “kid age”. Now, I’m sure this least favorite age will change once my children hit the preteens – or (shudder) the teenage years. But for now, I am very confident in saying that I’m not real fond of 13 month olds. Wyatt went through it too, now it’s Brooke’s [...]

Unconditional

I had my first doctor’s appointment last week. This first appointment is always the scariest for me. I never really BELIEVE that I am pregnant until I can see/hear it for myself. No, no. The 12 positive tests don’t do it for me. I want more proof. So of course I go in and I [...]

All grown up. Kindof.

Next Tuesday, my little baby Brooklyn turns ONE!!! It’s hard to believe how fast this year has gone.  I must say, girls and boys are definitely different. Or maybe it’s just my two kids, but boy are they different. Up to this point, Brooklyn…. STILL prefers I hold her bottle, she can do it, she [...]

Oops, We did it Again.

Well, since I THINK I have told all the appropriate people now, I guess it’s time to announce, yes, I’m pregnant. Again.  That is , of course, unless my boss read this. Then, well, SURPRISE! In reality, I haven’t told my boss yet, simply because I don’t want to stir the pot until after my [...]

The Story About the Ring

The other night, I was bathing both kids in the tub, one of our favorite times of the night.  A favorite time for me, because it means bedtime is nearing, and a favorite time for the kids because they love playing in the tub. Wyatt loves dumping every toy imaginable in the water, and Brooklyn [...]

My girly girl?

So.  When I had a baby girl almost ONE YEAR AGO, I was soooooo excited to have a sweet little girl to cuddle with, play dress up  and dolls with, sugar plums and spice and all that jazz.  Um….is this ever going to happen?  Does having an older brother who constantly wants to play guns [...]

No Christmas cards this Year

I think I may have to come to the realization that I’m just not going to get Christmas cards out this year. I can’t believe it – it will be the first year since we’ve been married I didn’t get out cards/letters. Is there such thing as Valentine’s cards? Maybe that’ll be the ticket.

T Boy is FOUR!

Well, well. The holidays have pretty much come and gone and I feel like my head is still spinning.  I haven’t even sent out a Christmas card yet this year. It may be a New Years card. Or, there may be no card this year. Life goes on, I guess. But let’s rewind a bit.  [...]

A Present from Santa

This year, Christmas is a HUGE deal.  I wish I was a bit more with it this holiday season. I feel like it is slipping away from me…it’s only two weeks away. Normally, I have my shopping done BEFORE Thanksgiving, my Christmas houses up by November 1st, baking done by at least this time.. and [...]

I got a little lost for a while

So, I know, I know….I’ve been a little absent from the blog for a while. See, I kinda got obsessed with making bows. Yep, that’s right. Making bows.  I signed up for two local craft shows in December and was STRESSED to the max that I would not have enough product.  Well, turns out, I [...]
