Mom Life

It’s a little peek behind the scenes at Pink Oatmeal this week!  It was Big C’s third birthday this month!  It was his first party with his friends!  When I asked him what kind of party he would like, the answer was planes, then trains, then trucks, then cards.  So the decision was for a […]

Little man was one month old on Monday!  That month went by so fast, and at the same time seemed so long.  Those first few weeks with a newborn is always an adjustment. I plan on still trying to do the monthly pictures and update.  With Big guy, I used a chalkboard and wrote updates on

This weekend I got my Christmas cards done, had Santa pictures, and finished our baby announcement.  So many  pictures and today is my attempt at one month pictures! With everything going on this time of year I debated on doing a baby announcement since we were sending out Christmas cards anyway.  In the end, I opted to

I have been on a crazy organizing spree the last few days.  Our closets and a few of our cupboards are absolutely driving me nuts.  I can’t find anything and it looks like something exploded.    So, I finally took it upon myself to do something about it.  I started with our closets which were

Maybe it’s the start of the school year, my sweet tooth or being pregnant but I seem to be always craving something sweet.  I try not to go crazy, but every once in a while I can’t help but make a sweet treat.  It’s just the not eating it all in one sitting thing that

We’ve finally completed C’s transition to his new bedroom and new bed.  The last project I wanted to complete was a book shelf.  Initially, I had his books in a drawer, which was completely impractical since he couldn’t see the books to access the books.  Next, I put them out on top of the drawers

With baby number 2 on it’s way in just a couple short months I have started to get things in order again.  I’m going to be completely honest.  The thing that was the worst and most shocking for me initially with baby number one was breastfeeding.  It was down right terrible at first.  In the

I didn’t write a birth plan.  I’m not encouraging anyone to go this route, it’s just something I didn’t do.  I’m not saying that it’s a good or bad thing either way.  I think it’s each individuals choice whether or not a birth plan is needed for them and what they put on their birth plan.  The

We are quickly approaching a 2nd birthday around here.  I’d love to say that we are throwing a big party, but we aren’t.  We are going to have a family birthday party.  I’ll be honest, I’m tired and a big bash didn’t seem like something that I wanted to get into.  Summer has been so

Since moving C into his big bed, we’ve been making changes to his big boy room.  I recently started to figure out what to put up on the walls.  I didn’t want to spend a lot of money since I figured I’d probably be changing it again in a few years knowing myself!  We had

Now that summer is here and I have some time off I have my usual list of things that I want to get done.  Since we just moved the little man to his new bed, one of my tasks was covering the ugly box spring up.  I shopped around looking for something that I could

We just transitioned C into his new twin bed.  Actually, he transitioned himself. We were having a bit of a struggle with the crib.  He would constantly throw a fit when we would try put him to bed in his crib. We bought the mattress and talked about his new bed.  He informed us that
