Parker has been showing some interest in colors the past few months. I thought a good way to talk more about this would be to introduce a little art time to the daily routine. I picked up a few supplies at the local dollar store, and laid out some paper towels with a few sheets [...]

New Camera and the Easter Weekend

**Disclosure- I wrote this last week, then got a horrible virus, and felt like death, and now I’m just getting around to posting this… A few weeks ago I got a new camera. I’m no pro, but I do appreciate good photography, or at least good pictures. We found a great used cannon EOS 20D [...]

Last Friday night, Dan and I had a great date night at All Fired Up. We wanted to paint ceramic pieces for baby Mason, which is the same as what we did for Parker. Look at how much fun we had! Dan did a blue piggie bank for Parker, and so he’s doing a brown [...]

Someone told me about THIS website where you can put in tidbits of a blog entry into the site to see who you write like. After putting in my post below “Breast Pump RIP” this is what I got: Who do you write like?

Last week I posted here about wanting one of these wallets for my diaper bag. So… I put in my order to the baker at Cake and she made me a custom wallet that I simply adore. It is complete with a iphone pocket and a cute little owl that sets it apart from the rest. Thanks Lindsey! [...]

We took our Breastfeeding Couples class today. We were encouraged to take it as a couple so that Dan could see what goes into the feeding, technique, and how he can be an encouragement. The class was really good. The instructor was very much a hardcore breastfeeding advocate. She doesn’t recommend any supplementing at all [...]
She’s Crafty

I proudly finished my first sewing project using a pattern! I’ve “winged” several projects before with just vision, but do not have a lick of experience using a pattern. Last night I put my final stitches in a box pleated crib skirt. It was much harder than I had anticipated. I got pretty frustrated with the first [...]

As you know, this weekend Dan and I finished painting Parker’s room. Now we’re looking at how we’d like to decorate the walls. We wanted something original and different, but also sticking to the theme of owls, birds and bunnies as a focus. Dan and I found this wonderful shop on Etsy called Maple Shade [...]

Okay, Life is starting to get back to normal I guess. I’m super excited that I am done with my NCIDQ exam. Now I can officially stop obsessing over it. With that being said, I’m on to bigger and better projects! For one, I never finished my scrapbook that I started back in the spring. [...]
