Burnt Out & Lazy…Time To Start Fresh

April 17, 2013Randomness(0)
I’m struggling to find balance. I need to find my happy place and regroup. I need to stop stressing about things I can’t control (or don’t need to control), not get frustrated with my toddler (she’s just a toddler… and such a wonderful one 99.9% of the time) and take more time to be patient,...

Easter

We had wonderful and fairly laid back Easter celebration. My mom, stepdad, brothers and sister-in-law came over. We colored eggs, had a yummy meal, peeps for second breakfast, searched for eggs, enjoyed our Easter baskets and took some pictures. It was a wonderful day full of fun and laughter! Maddie loved finding the plastic eggs...

Cousin Love

We try to get together with Chuck’s sister once a week or so. We went to their house for dinner the other night and I got some cute pictures of all the girls! Amira is walking now, so she has become a lot more fun to Maddie. They play together so well! I can’t wait...

5 Months

April 15, 2013Dannie(0)
Dannie turned 5 months old over the weekend. I’m a couple days behind getting this posted. She still loves her hands and has been getting more coordinated with her toys. She can grab them and hold on to them and seems to enjoy playing with them more. We started putting her in her jumper toy...

April 11, 2013Books(2)

A Speaker & An Update On Our Eating

April 4, 2013Food(0)
Today at my MOMS Club meeting, we had a speaker come to talk to us about nutrition and snacks for kids. A couple months ago, all of this would have been new information to me. But after a couple months of eating well, I was proud and happy that I knew a lot of the...

Beyond Belief

April 2, 2013Books(0)
My book club read Beyond Belief: My Secret Life Inside Scientology and My Harrowing Escape by Jenna Miscavige Hill for our March book. This book was interesting to say the least. There were times I was horrified, aggravated, relieved, hopeful, disappointed.so many feelings went through me during this book. If you have ever been curious...

First, Happy Easter! I will do another Easter post with pictures from our day soon! Chuck’s mom is still in Florida, so she sent the girls an Easter card. Maddie had a great time with all the stickers inside! She stuck most of them to me and the rest went on her picnic table. The...

Everything goes in Dannie’s mouth these days. She is getting much better with her hands. She will hold things, grab at them and most of all, put them all in her mouth. Blankets.. Toys.. Toys.. More toys.. Hands.. And even her sister’s fingers when she gets them too close! And Maddie finds Dannie chewing on...

Real Food

March 21, 2013Food(0)
Almost two months ago, Chuck and I had a discussion about the food we eat. After a long talk, (and some persuading on his part) we have done an overhaul of the food we eat. We knew this wouldn’t happen overnight, but we knew we could make some immediate changes. First, I watched Food, Inc....

Merry-Go-Round

March 20, 2013Maddie(0)
Most weekends lately, we have spent time at the MOA walking around and getting out of the house. Last weekend when we were there, Maddie got to ride the merry-go-round. It’s the only ride she has gone on there and she seems to enjoy it! During this visit, she rode a pig! 🙂

4 Months Old

March 13, 2013Dannie(0)
Our baby girl is 4 months old today. She is a joy to be around and is the happiest baby. She hardly cries and smiles at everyone. I am sure with such good little babies, their teenage years will send us to the insane asylum. But I’ll enjoy how good they are now. 🙂 Dannie...

On The Island

March 2, 2013Books(0)
For February, my book club read On the Island. I heard about it through the Twin Cities Live Book Club. We were a little skeptical to read it at first (given the description), but everyone loved it. It was a fast read and it was really hard to put down! Here’s a description. Anna Emerson...

Happy March. We’re getting closer to spring! I can hardly wait! We recently got new phones which means I’ve been obsessed with Instagram. (I’ll add a link to my Instagram pics on my sidebar soon.) I’m going to try keeping up with a photo-a-day thing this month. I didn’t do very well in February, but...
