Giggling

June 14, 2013Dannie(0)
Because I posted so many pictures yesterday of Dannie for her 7 month post, I thought I would wait until today to post another video of her. I was playing on the ground with her and she thought it was funny when I made a kissing/smacking noise and touched her nose. I hope this makes...

7 Months Old

June 13, 2013Dannie(0)
Time has been flying by and I am way behind on my blog. But I couldn’t let myself miss out on Miss Danielle turning 7 months old. Time sure flies. The even harder thing to believe is what a grown up little person Maddie has become. But that is for many other blog posts! Sweet...

Be Happy

May 21, 2013Randomness(0)
I came across this recently and I was thankful to have the reminder about keeping happy. I thought I would share. ——- 22 Things Happy People Do Differently There are two types of people in the world: those who choose to be happy, and those who choose to be unhappy. Contrary to popular belief, happiness...

Lessons

May 20, 2013Lessons(0)
I decided to start a new little spot to write about little lessons I have learned about various things. From lessons I have learned from being a parent, lessons about kids, life lessons and anything else that is something worth learning from. I also believe that we learn something (if not many) new things every...

Twilight

May 19, 2013Books(0)
I can’t believe I did it, but I read Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1). I’m a little disappointed in myself for reading this at all and I’m kicking myself for reading it after the movie came out. Why? Because I can’t stand Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. I think I would have liked the...

Dove Ad

May 18, 2013Randomness(0)
This ad was going around Facebook and I wanted to share it here. It’s something I want to remember to show to my girls when they get older. It’s a video of an artist drawing a woman the way she describes herself and then drawing that same woman based on how others describe her. It’s...

Taste of Love Bakery

May 17, 2013Food,Products & Places(2)
The other day, Maddie, Dannie and I took a little trip to a new bakery called Taste of Love. I heard that they had a play area for kids and their pictures of food from their Facebook Page looked so delicious. The bakery was very cute and the staff was very nice. Maddie picked out...

Gone Girl

May 16, 2013Books(0)
A friend in book club bought Gone Girl so we could pass it around. A number of people I knew had read it and had great reviews. Here’s what it’s about: Marriage can be a real killer. One of the most critically acclaimed suspense writers of our time, New York Times bestseller Gillian Flynn takes...

6 Months Old

May 14, 2013Dannie(0)
Our little Dannie is half a year old! She is getting so big! We had her 6 month check up yesterday and she was 15 pounds, 2 ounces. She is growing perfectly on her growth chart. She was healthy and happy the whole time we were there. She only cried for a few seconds after...

Happy Mother’s Day!

Good Times Park

May 1, 2013Maddie,Products & Places(0)
Today we checked out a new park that opened in Eagan. It’s called Good Times Park. It’s an indoor playground/gym/picnic place/art station/bouncy pillow/soccer field. It wasn’t too crowded and the kids (ages almost 2-almost 4) had a great time! Some pros: It wasn’t real crowded. (Probably because the opened last week and not many people...

Kompressor

April 26, 2013Products & Places(0)
Our Dyson vacuum was recently having issues. This gave us an excuse to get a new one. Our Dyson was ok, but we weren’t overly impressed enough to get another one. So we were on the hunt for a new one. I couldn’t decide what I wanted. Upright? Canister? Roomba? (Ok, the last one wasn’t...

Children’s Museum

April 25, 2013Maddie,Products & Places(0)
We love the Children’s Museum! It’s not too far away and Chuck works in the connecting skyway, so we can go meet him for lunch. They have two floors full of various rooms for the kids. I can stay on just one floor for hours with Maddie and she doesn’t get bored. It’s wonderful! (Maddie...

Careful Eater

April 24, 2013Maddie(0)
It’s no secret that Maddie is very clean when she eats. She doesn’t like her hands dirty and hardly gets food on her. We went to our neighbors’ son’s 3rd birthday party last weekend and Maddie displayed her cleanliness while she ate her cake. And the other day, Chuck snapped a picture of her licking...

Tea

April 23, 2013Food,Products & Places(0)
I’ve been really into tea lately. I get herbal and rooibos tea because they don’t have caffeine in them. I add some rock sugar and a little honey to my tea. Mostly, I love having a hot drink that isn’t filled with tons of calories and junk like hot chocolate. Don’t get me wrong.I do...

Zoo

April 22, 2013Maddie(0)
We go to the zoo quite often. It only takes us about 10 minutes to get there and we have a membership so I like to go frequently to make good use of it. My brother was in the process of switching jobs (he starts his new job today!), so we went to the zoo...

The Time Keeper

April 21, 2013Books(0)
I flew through the book The Time Keeper by Mitch Albom. I had just finished another book and thought I would give this a try. My dad really likes this author. His books are Christian based and have a lesson or message. I couldn’t have read this book at a more perfect time. After talking...

Wild

April 20, 2013Books(0)
For April, my book club read Wild (From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail). I have mixed feelings about this and I think my friends in book club do, too (from the few tidbits I have heard from them, at least). First, here’s the summary: At twenty-two, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost...

IGM Gymnastics

April 19, 2013Maddie,Products & Places(0)
Yesterday I told you about Gleason’s Gymnastics. Today, I’ll tell you about IGM Gymnastics. This is another local gymnastics studio that lets the kids just run around. There were some things I liked better about this place than Gleason’s and some things I liked less. First, this place has a HUGE bouncy house and slide!...

Gleason’s Gymnastics

April 18, 2013Maddie,Products & Places(0)
There’s a couple gymnastics studios around where kids can just run around and use the equipment. We have been going to Gleason’s and Maddie loves it. The first time she was there she was a bit skeptical, but she warmed up to it. By the next time we went, she was taking off her shoes...
