I couldn’t help but notice in my email this morning that Plum District (A daily deal site) has an offer of $15 for $30 worth of flowers at Teleflora. You can use this for Mother’s Day which is just around the corner (next weekend!). It’s an absolutely awesome deal so I wanted to make sure my readers knew about it. I know most of us are hoping for our own flowers on Mother’s Day but…
That special day is just around the corner. Yep, it’s almost time for Mother’s Day. Mark your calendars for May 13th so you don’t forget. I’ve personally been a mother for 4 years now & I have to be honest when I say that even if we don’t tell the people in our lives that we want flowers, we do! (You hear me guy’s?) Who doesn’t want flowers? They’re beautiful and they smell wonderful. Some…
Another year passed for me on Monday, so on Sunday while my son’s father was still at home we had a bit of cake and I got to open my presents from my boys. My 3 year old made sure to remind his father every time he seen him in the 2 weeks prior that they had to make a cake for my birthday “It’s going to be a great surprise. A beautiful cake” he…
Aidan will be 17 months next week. I can’t believe how much he’s grown. He was almost exclusively breastfed, except for a small amount of time where I got really wore out and took bad advice… we quickly went back to nursing and he finally weaned at 16 months!. As you can see by the last picture he has grown just as well as his big brother, who weaned at 6 months & was/is also…
Every year, just like most of you, I make a New Years resolution. Sometimes it works out and sometimes I give up before I’ve even started. This year I’ve contemplated A LOT about what I really want to accomplish this year. I have had a lot of drama in my life lately. 2011 was not a good year to say the least. I kept taking in the positive though and moving forward. I actually…
Little girl. She was confirmed by Amnio just last month. Yes, I’ve been hiding this for quite some time. I surprised even myself. I’m already 19 weeks. Because Aidan, my 16 month old son was born with the cord around his neck, a true knot (which only happens in 1% of pregnancies), merconium…. and especially because I’m now past the age of 35 I decided to get Amnio and wait until the results…
Have I told you yet that I’m a secret foodie? Of course I did. Well tonight I’m going to share one of my favorite recipes with you. Rosa Marina Soup. It’s a delicious tomato basil soup that can be cooked like a soup or a pasta dish to make it easier for small kids to eat. (Let’s just be truthful, pasta = less messy than soup!) It’s also very cheap to make. Just…
Thanks to Plum Organics for sponsoring my post about tips for baby feeding magic. What if you let baby choose what’s for dinner? Check out their cute “Quest for Yum!” video and see what happens! With 2 kids under my belt I like to think I’m an old pro at getting babies to eat. Now toddlers on the other hand, oh man, don’t get me started. The thing is, babies and toddlers alike…
If there’s one thing I’m familiar with, it’s a squirmy baby. When my now 3 year old was born, he was a big boy, 10lbs. I swear he came out kicking. Only 2 weeks later he was rolling over. By 5 months he was sitting up like a pro, and by 6 he had mastered crawling. The boy has never sat still. Before he started crawling I was at least able to change…
Some of you remember my dog Bailey that you seen a picture of not too long ago. Unfortunately Wednesday I had to have him put down. It was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make. In fact I had preparations to do it for a while now but I just couldn’t go through with it. After 13 yrs my poor boy was going senile. It was getting progressively…
