The familiar faces ring has been a project that I have been putting off! Lately, C has really been interested in pictures . He seems to prefer his books that have “real” babies instead of illustrations. I thought now would be a good time to finally get it done! I used Pic Monkey to …
At 11 months old I can finally say C has 2 teeth! Took him long enough! However, getting this two teeth in was no picnic. C experienced the whole gamut of things that come with teething. He had a cold, runny nose, cough, pain, swelling, tears, and food strike. Did I miss anything? The good news …

We recently embarked on a 10 hour road trip to South Dakota with “C.” In the past, we’ve been on 5 hour trips without much trouble but now we were doubling the time. The great news is it went very well! We did more planning and were more prepared now than we were pre-baby. That being said, …

C is pulling to stand on everything lately! His favorite place to pull to stand seems to be on our sliding glass door . Then he proceeds to pound on it! I’m sure he loves the feedback from the sound and all the things he can see outside. It made me think of one of my …
Finally a new recipe on the blog! This one was just too good not to pass along. I have to credit my aunt for telling me about this chocolatey, gooey, crunchy deliciousness. If you are looking for a healthy recipe, this isn’t for you. If you are looking for a tasty treat and a cool …
Almost everyone I know has Facebook. It’s a great way to find out what’s going on with people. My friends and I joke that we really don’t need class reunions anymore since we know when someone got married, had a baby, changed jobs or moved into a new house. Not only is it a great …

When I’d hear people talking about Twitter I used to roll my eyes. I just didn’t get what any hype was about “tweeting” hashtags, and Twitter handles. It all seemed silly to me. When I started my blog I thought I’d better get Twitter since everyone else seemed to have it. What I quickly …

We are approaching the end of the first year this summer! It’s hard to believe how fast time has flown by and how different my baby is! It’s amazing how much changes in the a baby’s first year. It’s crazy to think about how I had a little tiny baby that would eat/sleep/poop all day …
