Baby Smash

April 27, 2012Maddie(0)
Chuck found a game that Maddie can’t get enough of! It’s called Baby Smash. Basically, the kids play with a keyboard and the program says letter names and shapes and colors depending on what button the press. Seriously, it’s like toddler crack! Maddie just can’t get enough. We downloaded it on an old laptop for...

This is the most recent book we picked for book club! We are meeting tonight to discuss it. I came across this book as a book I could get for free through Amazon Prime. They have a lending library where, if you have a Prime account, you can borrow one eligible book a month for...

Friends!

April 25, 2012Maddie(0)
Yesterday Maddie and I went to the Mall of America with our friends Trisha and Chelsea! The girls were having a great time handing toys back and forth between the strollers and laughing at each other while they ate their McDonald’s lunch! They are going to be great friends! Trisha took this picture of the...

Porch Furniture

April 23, 2012Glendalough(1)
We finally found some porch furniture that we liked. A couple weekends ago, Chuck took multiple trip to the store to pick the pieces up and then put them all together. I couldn’t be happier with how it looks! We got a loveseat, two chairs, a chaise lounge, end table and eating table. I got...

A couple weeks ago, Maddie and I went to the zoo then lunch at the mall with Trisha and her daughter Chelsea. (The girls had a great time at the zoo. Maddie showed Chelsea the ropes as she followed Maddie around!) After lunch and walking around the mall a little more, Maddie took out all...

Lumia

Chuck got me an early Mother’s Day gift. I have been eying the new Nokia Lumia 900 phone. It’s the new Windows Phone. I thought it was adorable (plus, I’ll admit, I’m a sucker for new shiny things ). When I learned that this Windows Phone had visual voicemail, I wanted needed it! That is...

Daughter

April 19, 2012Maddie(0)
In one of the videos yesterday, Maddie was dancing to “Daughter” by Loudon Wainwright III. I guess it was in the soundtrack for the movie Knocked Up. Huh. Guess I don’t pay very close attention. Chuck had me listen to the lyrics. What a sweet song. If you have a little girl, you will appreciate...

Dancing Maddie

April 18, 2012Maddie(0)
First, I am sure there are a few of you out there who are saddened by my laziness and lack of posts about Maddie. Well, cheer up! Here are some videos! So the other night, Maddie insisted on wearing a fleece jacket around the house. I thought I would just take her pants off so...

10 Years

April 17, 2012Randomness(0)
The other day, Chuck figured (after looking through emails) that we had known each other for 10 years. He got me the funniest card I have ever seen and a second card that was so very sweet! He also brought these beautiful flowers for me. Then for a while now, he has told me he...

A Communicating Toddler

April 4, 2012Maddie(0)
Maddie has started to communicate with us a lot more. She knows a few animal noises, says a few words and even signs a couple words. I got a few videos of her doing some things on command! The only things I forgot were asking her to give me a hug and a kiss. Which...

Fun With Noodles

March 29, 2012Food,Maddie(0)
During lunch yesterday, Maddie was having some of my rigatoni noodles. I would cut them into smaller rings for her to eat and she kept putting them on her finger to eat. It was really cute. Maddie also learned her own version of signing “more” yesterday, too. So she would finish the noodles then “more,...

Another Zoo Trip

March 28, 2012Maddie(0)
I took Maddie to the zoo another day (actually, I have been going about once a week with her) and I took a few more pictures of some animals that were very active during this visit. There were some very friendly birds! And some very playful swimming bears! A pacing leopard. It must have been...

My Year With Eleanor

March 26, 2012Books(0)
I just finished reading this book for book club. Here is a quick synopsis I found about the book. After losing her high-octane job as an entertainment blogger, Noelle Hancock was lost. About to turn twenty-nine, she’d spent her career writing about celebrities’ lives and had forgotten how to live her own. Unemployed and full...
