Dining Room

April 14, 2011Glendalough0
A few weeks ago, I gave my dining room furniture (which belonged to my grandma) to my brother. It just didn’t fit in our house very well. So over the weekend, Chuck and I went looking for replacement furniture. We found some we liked and I went to buy them yesterday. Here’s what they look...

Maddie Is 8 Weeks Old

April 13, 2011Maddie0
My baby is 8 weeks old already! Time sure flies by. If you haven’t seen the newest news from me, is that I quit my job last week to stay home with Miss Madeline. I’m so excited for this new adventure! Maddie has her two month doctor’s appointment next week. She’ll get some shots. I’m...

I Quit!

April 12, 2011Randomness0
Guess what I did?! I quit my job! That’s right. Last Tuesday, I finally made the decision to stay home. I had been thinking about it since I found out I was pregnant. My neighborhood is full of stay at home moms (SAHM) so we have a great neighborhood for me to do the same....

Foil-Pack Chicken Fajita Dinner

April 11, 2011Food0
Kraft Foods makes a bunch of foil dinners. I think they are brilliant and so simple. This one was really tasty. I made 4 foil packs and had two for leftovers. I ate mine just the way it was. Just dumped it on a plate. Chuck put his in tortilla shells. We both enjoyed the...

Quick-Fix Cheeseburger Meatloaf

April 7, 2011Food0
This was another meal from Kraft Foods. It was really simple to make and very tasty. I did add a little worchestershire sauce to it. I think all beef meals need some! I made this with some mashed taters and we gobbled it up! I highly recommend giving it a try!

No Fuss Tex-Mex Roll-Ups

April 5, 2011Food0
After many weeks of sitting on the couch, eating out and zero exercise, it’s time to start eating better. I’ve always loved Kraft Foods website. But I have started to make more meals lately. They are quite simple without too many ingredients and I can usually get a meal done between feedings. This meal was...

I Know You

April 5, 2011Maddie0
This may not make any sense, but that’s ok. I sit and look at Maddie for so many hours during the day. Something about her is so familiar to me. Like I have known her little face forever. Maybe other moms or parents out there feel the same way. Or maybe I am just insane....

It’s Hard To Wake Up

April 1, 2011Maddie0
I have learned after watching the videos I have taken of Maddie that I am bad at taking videos. I’ll hopefully get better, though. 🙂 And I have to get over my dislike for hearing my voice on the recordings. I don’t think anyone likes hearing their own voice, though! 🙂

Where Does The Time Go?

March 30, 2011Maddie0
Today marks 6 weeks since we welcomed our sweet little baby to our family. I can’t believe she is 6 weeks old already. And I can’t believe its been 6 weeks since all the craziness from my delivery happened. I had my postpartum doctor’s appointment today. It went great. My doctor was so happy I...

Grandma’s Furniture

March 27, 2011Glendalough0
When my grandma died a number of years ago, I took her dining room set. In our last house, the furniture fit great! Everything had a nice spot. But in this house, I could never get it to look right. So my brother took the set! I’m glad it’s still in the family. He sent...

iPad

My fabulous hubby surprised me with a fabulous gift! He got me an iPad! He said it was sad to see me struggle with my laptop while I sit on the couch all day nursing. I was so surprised! Especially since I didn’t think we’d ever get Apple products again with Chuck working for Microsoft....

One Sleepy Baby

March 25, 2011Maddie0
I just had to mention how excited I am that Maddie slept through the night last night! I know this may be a fluke, but any parent of a new baby knows how exciting it is to get many hours of sleep in a row at night. The past few nights (or maybe a week)...

5 Weeks

March 23, 2011Maddie0
I can’t believe Maddie is 5 weeks old today! Time really does fly. I also can’t believe how quickly the days go. It’s already 2:00! How did that happen? I really thought that I would do a lot more blogging when I was home with the baby and I have definitely done WAY less. I...

One Month Old

Our baby is one month old already! I can hardly believe it. It’s been the best month ever. I can’t imagine my life without her! We learn more about what makes her happy every day! The other day we gave her a bottle for the first time. She did just fine. We waited until Maddie...

Meds

March 1, 2011Maddie0
I am on lots of meds these days after I had Maddie. The biggest one is for my blood pressure. They hope to wean me off that at my 6 week appointment at the end of March. I am hopeful the BP meds are just temporary.  Here are pictures of the pills I take.morning, afternoon...

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! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤪
