10 Months Old

December 16, 2011Maddie(0)
Can it be? My little baby is 10 months old already! I think she is growing up too fast! She really seems to be getting more independent each day and it cracks me up to see all the funny things she has been doing! Maddie (or Maddy.I can’t decide) has gotten 4 more teeth this...

Maddie vs. Maddy

December 12, 2011Maddie(2)
Ok.I have had this on my mind for a while. I can’t decide which way I want to spell Ms. Madeline’s nick-name. She really doesn’t care. And it IS just her nick-name so it shouldn’t matter at all. Currently, I have been using “Maddie”. That is what is on all your Christmas cards that went...

Wine Bottles To Vases

November 19, 2011Randomness(0)
I have been spending lots of time on Pinterest. (If you haven’t been there yetbe prepared to be addicted.) I saw wine bottles that were spray painted and then used as vases on there. So I knew I had to give it a try. I got a couple bottles from my neighbors and sprayed the...

New Entryway Table

November 18, 2011Randomness(0)
I have been wanting a new table in the entryway for a while. So I did some looking around and was surprised tables were so expensive. After some more looking, I realized I could get a bookshelf that would serve the same purpose and was cheaper than a table for some reason. I think it...

I’m Thankful For…

November 3, 2011Randomness(0)
There are a ton of fun things you can do for November/Thanksgiving to show what you are thankful for. I decided to do this: I just wrote on a piece of paper and stuck it to a vase. Then I cut up some colored card stock, placed a pen next to it and voila! I...

Rawr….I’m A Monster

November 1, 2011Maddie(1)
Maddie was a monster for Halloween. I figured I only have this year and maybe next to pick what she is without her telling me what she wants to be. So I found this blue monster costume (which matches her eyes perfectly!) and added a pink bow to one of the horns. My mom babysat...

Pumpkin Carving…Kind Of

November 1, 2011Maddie(0)
I didn’t think Maddie was going to be much into carving pumpkins, but after a visit to my mom’s house and Maddie’s fascination with her pumpkins, I thought I should cut one open and see what Maddie thought of them. Here is Maddie enjoying my mom’s pumpkins that my brother and his friend carved. (WARNING.There...

Eos

October 19, 2011Products & Places(0)
A friend of mine introduced me to a wonderful line of products. Eos makes chapstick, lotion shaving cream I have a number of the lip balms. I love the little sphere shape. It is so unique. I have found these (and other Eos products) at Target, Walmart, Walgreen’s and CVS. The stores seem to sell...

Sweet & Spicy Chicken

October 18, 2011Food(0)
I am a little behind in the food times, but I just recently learned the joy of sweet & spicy chicken. I first learned of this from the sweet & spicy wings from Applebee’s. After having these (and making “mmm” noises the whole time I ate them), I decided to find a recipe and try...

8 Months Old

October 16, 2011Maddie(0)
Time hasn’t halted. It is still flying by. Which means that my little peanut is 8 months old already! She is such a sweet little girl. We are so lucky to have such a happy, social, fun baby! She started saying “mamamama”. She was saying only this consonant for a long time. She says it...

A Great Decade

October 15, 2011Randomness(0)
One of our best friends moved to Seattle at the end of September. I put together a photo album for her and kept crying looking through pictures from the last 10 years. Kelly moved to Minnesota from Georgia and worked with Chuck at the U for many years. Then she started working at Microsoft with...

A Schminke Visit

October 14, 2011Maddie(0)
Last weekend, Chuck’s cousin got married. We traveled an hour and a half to celebrate with them and introduce Maddie to some family members she hasn’t met yet. The most excited of which were Chuck’s grandma and grandpaMaddie’s great-grandparents. Side noteAll four of Chuck’s grandparents are still living. I am so envious of this since...

Hanging With a Future Hubby

October 6, 2011Maddie(0)
Yes, I am already arranging marriages for Maddie. She has been promised to a number of little boys. This may pose a problem when she gets older. We might have to have an auction for her hand or something.   We went to one of my best friend’s houses for dinner last week and she...

Play Dates

October 5, 2011Maddie(0)
We have had a couple play dates with Trisha and Chelsea lately. A few weeks ago, they came over and played. Both girls were really into eating puff cereal. Trisha took out a container of them, and both girls went over to her and looked at her like they were little puppies begging for food....

Tree Fort

All other ways of cookingwell, they just don’t rule! I have rediscovered the joy of the crock pot. I am not sure why I didn’t use this every night when I was working. It’s the most wonderful thing. It is so nice to put something in the crock pot while Maddie napsand I have a...

My hubby and I watched this show (Silo). I didnโ€™ My hubby and I watched this show (Silo). I didnโ€™t know until it was over that it was a bookโ€ฆand a trilogy at that. I will say, I think I liked the show better. I know, I know, thatโ€™s the opposite of what an avid reader usually says, but I just couldnโ€™t get into the book. Maybe because I knew what was going to happen, but the events werenโ€™t nearly as compelling or dramatic as they seemed in the show. It was good, but just not as exciting as I was hoping. Iโ€™ll sure Iโ€™ll read the other books at some point, but Iโ€™m not in a huge hurry.

I squeezed myself into my wetsuit and helped chuck I squeezed myself into my wetsuit and helped chuck move our big lift out deeper. The water is so low and in the hopes of not getting the boat stuck on the lift and maybe getting a couple more rides, we managed to get it out a little farther. Thankfully we had a dock section we could move so we could make the lift deeper and still get into the boat.
