Meet-and-Greet Monday
Pop Pop came to visit this weekend. It was fun. It was also in the 70's for the first time in at least a month. So the kids climbed a tree. (Yes, his poor little eyes are red because he has a cold, or is teething. Again.) But he still had a blast. Look at our little...

Something Cute Just Happened Here
Benjamin was super-cranky during a typically late lunch (1pm) today. I cleaned him up and rocked with him while Olivia finished eating and I wasn't surprised when he promptly fell soundly asleep. I put him down, cleaned up his sister, cleaned up the kitchen, and put...
The *Real* Caption
On Monday, I asked you to caption this picture: Out of those of you who chose to participate, my favorite was Rachel's (@hotmail): “Chokit, pwease.” Not that I didn't enjoy Noah telling Shannon to change a poopy. That's always fun, too. So, Rachel, pick a baking mix...
Meet-and-Greet: Dressed-up Kids Edition
So sorry this is late, guys. This is my excuse: I was busy turning this: Into this: No, we won't be attempting to use the crib while it's crammed back there in the corner. It'll just make a nice bed rail until this one arrives. We will discuss later, in detail, how...
How We’re Preparing for Baby
Really? There are still things that need to be done for #3? Umm.... Ok, so you got me thinking, whoever-it-was-who-originally-asked-me-this. As far as actual purchases go, we're looking into a big boy bed for Benjamin. That's pretty much it. And he doesn't even need...
My Craftiness: My First Dress!
Now that I know I have The Craftiness within me (and the bad taste out of my mouth), I like to peruse the patterns and remnants on sale in various stores. I came across a pattern for less than $4 for some adorable summer dresses. Dresses seem easy enough, right? Then...
Craftiness Continued: CURTAINS.
So, way back when, I got all crafty. I fixed my bumGenius diapers. I made baby doll diapers. And then I made curtains. And I thought I was doing pretty well. I was, in fact, actually proud of myself. My first curtain task was the kitchen. Plain and simple, yes, but...
Meet-and-Greet Monday: A REAL Belly Shot. And Dance Recital. And More.
Oh my gosh - 4:25pm and just now getting Meet-and-Greet started. It was a looooong day. In which I got next-to-nothing accomplished. Other than the typical Monday Madness (you know, where the children adapt to just having...
MRSA Attacks the Natural Family
We've had our share of diaper rashes around here. And we don't go rushing to the doctor each time we have a new outbreak. We did go when Benjamin got his first boil, back in January. But not for the second boil, a week ago. (It was on his belly and only lasted a...
