I love those surprises that you are completely unaware of before they happen. That is what happened this morning. My sweet husband took Josh to a 6 am (yes, butt crack of dawn) soccer game so I could sleep in. (Gosh I love that man!) He came home and surprised me with these… My early Valentines Day present! Happy early Valentines Day to all of you! May your lives be filled with love… … [Read more...]

by 3 Comments
Our family has been cooped up for what seems like forever. Yesterday the sun was shining and singing to us “come outside”… so we started brainstorming. Our local Play Place isn’t the best for little ones and we were sure it would be swamped. We were on snow day #3… enough said. I had been out the day previously to grab some groceries. The roads weren’t perfect, but considering we just suffered went through a blizzard they were pretty good! We … [Read more...]

Goodbye to the Binky
by 6 Comments
Ethan has always been a binky baby. We have slowly weaned him to nighttime only use, but up until lately he has not been open to the idea of giving up his binky. A little piece of me has not been ready to give it up either. This is the last little bit of babyhood that Ethan has been holding on to. He has grown up so much already! He has potty trained (this was his idea), is talking up a storm and plays independently in his room with Emma … [Read more...]
One of those days… already!
by 1 Comment
It’s been one of those days… already. Actually, it’s been one of those weeks! Emma & Ethan have hit a phase. Everything Emma does… she does to irritate Ethan, to make him mad, basically to make him cry or get him in trouble (and then she stands there and grins) . And boy does he cry! This morning was no exception. Emma screams “NO! Ethan!” Ethan cries… and cries… and cries…. and cries. The crying finally stops, and then they start to play … [Read more...]

It’s so hard to believe… but our Emma is 4 today! Where did the time go? I miss snuggling in bed and napping with her *sigh* She got this baby and blanket for her 2nd birthday from her Great Grandma. You’ve seen her playing the “crying ladybug”… here she is before the meltdown… She promised me last night that she will always be my little princess. Striking a pose. My princess having a seat on “The Princess & the … [Read more...]
My Little Dirt & Bug Monster…
by 2 Comments
I was going through my memory card getting my photos for an upcoming review and ran across these. They were taken a couple of weeks back, but I just had to share… Ethan is my little dirt guy… if he’s allowed, he will dig. Oh, and he is not afraid of bugs!!! Hence, he is my dirt monster… So here’s the story… Ethan was playing in the backyard and I heard a little crunchy in his hands and asked him what he had. He grinned a big smile and opened up … [Read more...]
Homemade Toys: Indoor Sandbox Bean Sensory Bin
Homemade Toys: Indoor Sandbox Bean Sensory Bin Have you ever noticed that sometimes your children love to play with just about everything but their toys? I am (slowly) learning that my two youngest prefer simple. Ocassionally they like that big flashy toy, but for the most part... most of their favorite toys have been either household items (pots & pans on the kitchen floor, our old cell phones w/battery removed etc) or homemade … [Read more...]
