I’ve started meal planning again in an effort to help our grocery budget. It’s not my favorite activity and the planning never really seems to work out (too few leftovers or too many). I’m hoping that with dedication I can get better at it. I don’t know if it’s pregnancy or age but my appetite/interest … More January Meals
My life is completely tied to paper, if it’s not physically written down I’m bound to forget about it. Target has cute and cheap planners/notebooks that I would be lost without. They also help keeping New Year resolutions a bit more fun. Week one of the new year and resolutions are holding steady(ish). I’ve made it … More Happy Friday
It’s 2016! I remember when it was 1999… crazy. A new year is a clean slate and time for resolutions and planning. I’m all for both but this year I’m trying to be realistic. Our life is going to change in an unknown way and so a top goal is to be kind to myself. There … More Happy Friday, Happy New Year!
The look of a sick and stuffy pregnant lady… Less than two months away from meeting Lucas. It’s exciting and nerve-wrecking simultaneously. Honestly, my nerves are being wrecked regardless. This kid’s movement is consistently inconsistent and I can never tell if he’s a narcoleptic like me, chill like Danny or distressed. The fact that recognizing … More Month 8
My life is amazing. I’m beyond grateful for all of my blessings and want to embrace, enjoy and remember them forever. One way I decided to do this was to create short monthly videos of our family. I thought of this idea in April and this weekend completed our Year 1 video. Our lives changed … More 2015
Christmas will be different around here next year but this year I’ll enjoy our last Christmas morning as a foursome. Mom and B are here for presents and we’ll spend the day together. The Smiths are coming for brunch and then Aunt Mikki’s for our annual Christmas gathering. I’m so grateful to spend this time … More Happy Friday & Merry Christmas
I do hate a neglected blog. Here’s what I’ve been up to lately. Playing Civilizations V with Danny. It’s the only video game I enjoy and it is something fun (and addictive) we can do together. Danny even concedes to my need to always be Catherine the Great. Winning the weekly NFL picks against Danny. I’ve had … More Currently
It goes without saying I’m on the bad blogger list at the moment but I’m a worse Godmother! My calendar has Gwen’s birthday as today and it was yesterday. I feel awful about it! She’s been our practice baby and I could not love her more but apparently remembering her birthday is beyond me. I’m undoubtedly … More Happy Friday & (belated) Birthday Gwenie!
How is it Friday? How is Christmas less than 2 weeks away? Time has completely gotten away from me – as evidenced by my poor blogging of late. It seems I only ever have time to celebrate the big holidays every other year. This year we did Thanksgiving but Christmas…. well at least the decorations are … More Happy Friday
This weekend we were beyond spoiled with love and presents by friends and family. Cara took the lead and planned an AMAZING party that was more fun and perfect than I ever imagined it could be. And Danny earned all kinds of good husband points by staying the entire time to be photographer (and charming … More Lucas’ Baby Shower
