Last week I went with my mother-in-law to a baby swap meet. Before your eyes glaze over and you wonder what there is possibly to say about a baby swap, I have a confession. I’m a swapaholic. No really, I am. I dragged two people I love out of bed at the wee hours of […]
100th Post!
Welcome to the 100th post, and the first post for a whole new look! This blog started as a way to remind me how to write a coherent sentence after having children, and as an experiment to see how much I would enjoy it. Yes, I could READ blogs, especially food blogs, all the livelong […]
When did Trouble get so big?
Someone should tell this guy that he can’t get into everything until he can walk for real. Maybe someone should also stop letting his dad dress him :) Or are polo onesies and athletic shorts an acceptable combo? Poor Gemma…wherever she goes, there he is a moment later, wanting what she has, whacking at her […]
Anniversary Gotaway
We just got back yesterday from a fabulous little belated 5th anniversary getaway…now that it’s in the past I’m presuming it’s no longer a getaway, but a gotaway? A minor technicality. My parents were kind enough to stay with the kidlets while Carl and I zoomed off to Whistler for a couple nights, and it […]
Milestones
About a week ago K-fer reached what is, in my mind, a pretty big milestone. I know crawling, walking and talking are some of the biggest, but I’d say this ranks in the top 5 along with those. He mastered fork skills! I’m a proud mama, and he’s a proud, adorable boy. Now, I know […]
A day at the beach
I love White Rock, even if it is named after a giant, imported, painted rock. I am a fan of kitsch. Since it’s not the shortest jaunt from our house we don’t make the trip too often, so I take any opportunity/excuse to go there, which just so happened to happen twice in one week! […]
It’s not even Thursday
Thursday is my go-to procrastination day. I wake up on Thursday’s KNOWING nothing will get done, and even if I think of a million things to do that day, I just don’t do any of them. Why not? To me, house cleaning is one of those things that should be done thoroughly once a week, […]
The circle of life
Quite the week…I got a brand new baby niece, and lost my Grandpa. Thanks be to God for making both the entry and the exit smooth, and for letting Grandpa live long enough to know Him and die in peace.
The Wheaties Box Story
One time Carl was on a Wheaties box. I think this is hilarious. Look at that cereal box. Breakfast of champions, that’s what I’m talkin’ about. Good story, right? It gets better. He didn’t KNOW he was on a Wheaties box. You’d think they need permission for this type of thing, but nope. If you’re […]
Picnic!
Gemma loves to eat outside (as long as no bugs are in sight), but so far this year it’s been mostly too cold or too hot so a breezy warm day was just what we needed! There’s something about the excitement of being outside that means she will eat pretty much anything I put […]
