It’s not often I blog about what’s really going on in my personal life. Yes I blog about my kids and the fun and the happiness, but it’s very rare that I use this space for any negativity. When I first started my blog I wanted to say whatever came over me. I was in a bit of a dark place and needed an outlet, but once I started getting more involved with other…
My baby boy is turning 5 months tomorrow! His first tooth is coming in now. Where has the time gone? Pic by me
SocialMoms and Kraft Homestyle Macaroni and Cheese have teamed up and have asked moms to share their Dos and Don’ts of dinner table etiquette. I know so many families these days who’s kids have no manners, but worse yet, whose family as a whole never sit down at the dinner table together. I actually know someone who’s family NEVER eats at home or sits at a table and hasn’t almost their entire lives. It’s pretty…
2010 has been a year of up’s and down’s for me. It started with my 2010 New Years resolution to get organized. By January I had done just that. After 6 long years of struggling with immigration my husband received his 10 year green card. I was able to go to a specialist for the first time after more than 15 years of not having health insurance and discover I had a Vitamin D deficiency…
Well, I broke my promise to blog every day until Christmas. I found myself overwhelmed at the last minute. I had bought a webcam earlier in the week and set it up so that my husband could see his parents all the way in Norway. I think they were all happy about that. At least I hope so! I know they were thrilled to see the kids. Thing is they called about an hour early…
With so much left to do I figured we would get started on our cookies for Santa early. Vincent did a really good job listening to instructions UNTIL the next morning when I awoke to find all the bottles of sprinkles open and piles of them on the kitchen floor. I nicely discovered someone left our broom outside (I won’t name names) so I’m still debating how to pick them all up *cry* Who needs…
Sooo.. even though Vincent is only 2 1/2 years old I have found that he is very observant. Just this morning he spotted the box of chocolate covered cherries I hid on top of my desk last night. “What’s that mommy, up here, who eat that? you eat that? why?”. Then he noticed the juice I drank. “Who drink that mommy? You drink that? Why?”. The “whys” are driving me crazy! Last night it was…
Why didn’t anyone tell me that building a gingerbread house was hard work! I don’t know why but I had no clue that I would have to wait until some of it dried before being able to put it completely together. Try telling a 2 yr old “We’ll come back and do more in a little while” HA HA. Right. Now please realize I was only using a kit and I didn’t have the real…
I have really been neglecting my blog as far as personal posts go and well I decided that starting right now I’m going to post every day until Christmas. Not too much, just a few pictures each day to show you how we’re celebrating here at our house. An added bonus is I’ll get in a little practice with my new camera 🙂 This year is extra exciting for me because Vincent is now almost…
I took a few days off from my blog. My 2 yr old has got the sniffles, mommy has a raging toothache & back pain and the baby has been eating like he’s having a growth spurt. Since Dad was home for a few extra days we had to make the most of it (and sleep in!) So this is a few days late but I wanted to say I hope everyone had a…
