Burnt Out & Lazy…Time To Start Fresh

April 17, 2013Randomness0
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

April 17, 2013Dannie, Maddie0
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

April 16, 2013Dannie, Maddie1
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, 2013Dannie0
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...

Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children

April 11, 2013Books2
I was browsing the books on the library’s website and I came across this bookMiss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. I couldn’t help myself and had to download it. Who cares that I am in the middle of 5 other books at the moment including one for book club. I wouldn’t consider...

A Speaker & An Update On Our Eating

April 4, 2013Food0
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, 2013Books0
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, 2013Food0
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, 2013Maddie0
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! 🙂

High Chair Fun

March 19, 2013Dannie0
We are still waiting a couple months before we give Dannie food, but the other day I let her sit in the high chair while I had my lunch. I couldn’t stop taking pictures of her! She was so cute. So I apologize for the abundance of adorable Dannie pictures!

4 Months Old

March 13, 2013Dannie0
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...

Pictures By Adam

On The Island

March 2, 2013Books0
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...

March

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...

What a beautiful book. There are so many different What a beautiful book. There are so many different topics that could be discussed with this book. It would make a great book club read. I bet each person would have their own takeaway from this one.

I think it was so well written and the characters were so unique. The way they took different paths and then come back to each other was so well done. She has a magical writing style and I can’t wait to read more by her!

We watch The One and Only Ivan movie the other nig We watch The One and Only Ivan movie the other night. The movie was really cute as a stand-alone movie. But my kids were disappointed after reading the books. Some scenes were different, some parts weren’t included and they were kind of bummed it didn’t follow the book perfectly. The book is always better I told them. 😁

Any movies you have seen that didn’t quite live up to the book?

True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting o True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting on the boat recently, watching the kids play and listening to the house be built, I panicked. Crap! We should have put our house the other way. Left side on the right, right side on the left. That tree will be in our way! WHAT HAVE WE DONE?! 
.
So I immediately text Chuck who is working and tell him about how I am worried almost to tears about this. That we messed up.
.
It isn’t something we can do anything about even if we maybe should have done it the other way, which is probably nonsense. But we love this tree. And it’s going to add to our amazing view. And I want to plant another one on the other side one day anyway. And that big open spot will have a deck and porch behind the main floor garage. And what...I may have to turn my head slightly to see the lake better?🙄
.
Yep. I’m a nutcase. I don’t worry about the things right in front of me. Or even things I should worry about. Nope. Just things that can’t be changed...now that’s where my worry shines! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤪
