This past week we were closer than ever as a family….physically. We spent a week in a hotel room; not one of those fancy suites but a standard room, queen bed, with a travel crib placed at the foot of it. It was tight, and very, very smelly at times and I'm not solely blaming... Continue Reading →

There are so many firsts, first time he crawls, walks, eats food, smiles, says mama, first birthday and first day at daycare. But this past weekend so many of us had our first mother's day. Mine was perfect. Not only did Lincoln sleep until 8am (!!!!) but when we went downstairs Zack had prepared an... Continue Reading →

so… what do you do all day? Obviously I look like this: just joking. I have a bunch of friends who are newly pregnant- which is wonderful news- and I'm sure you're all going to be way more 'with it' than I am. But it had me thinking, I wonder if people know the real... Continue Reading →

Update- I found a bathing suit! last week so many people gave me great ideas & options and I wanted to share my findings. There were some cute, simple ones at Joe Fresh that I really liked but again the full piece suits were too short on my torso and the bikinis still weren't panning... Continue Reading →

so we made the jump. we put the little rascal into his crib about 2 weeks ago. our progression looked something like this: bassinet in the nursery room so we would get comfortable with him sleeping in another room and using the monitor. bassinet directly in the crib as he wasn't totally loving the crib...

this was by far one of the most project productive weekends. there are always those lingering tasks that you keep on your to do list that don't get done. They get crossed off, added to the next day, added to the phone list, put in the agenda and still just seem to miss the beat... Continue Reading →
