Yep. That's me. Not the easiest photo to look at. But it's me. I'm a real person, with a real life, that faces most of the same daily challenges you do. I have 3 darling little punks that will be 3, 2, & 1 in 3 months. I love them, but I do not love what 3 years of pregnancies left my body with. It's time to get Momma back...
If you are anything like me, then you might stress, just a little bit, before company comes for dinner. So many things that you want to have look "just so". One of those things for me is a nice arrangement of flowers. But for some crazy reason, I just don't always have the time to run out and grab one when I need one these days... (I'm really not sure...
Such a silly little thing, but keeping the babes from opening the fridge 80 bazillion times a day, makes me feel like I've won at least one of the battles, as least some of the time. Not all standard baby proofing items will work with everyone's appliances. Sometimes you need to improvise. Don't be afraid to see what you can rig up. We're lucky we have a fridge with open...
(Image: Juliska) To know me, is to know my love for Juliska Tabletop and Glassware. Honestly, to walk by it everyday, it just makes me want to throw a party! Last year I wrote a little post (a long one...) showing you some of my all time favorite Juliska things. And this year I've got a few more to show you. We use the Juliska "Berry & Thread" pattern as...
I love this wreath. When I opened our box of Christmas decorations this year and saw it again, I just couldn't believe it had been a whole year! I'm not the first to tell you about this little project, but I will be the one to tell you to DO IT. This one only has Hayden's little hand from last year (Addie wanted no part in making a flat hand....). ...
With my goal to myself to be sure to make time for family this month, the girls and I invited my Mother-in-Law, Sister-in-Law, and nieces to join us at Crystal Court and South Coast Plaza for a Holiday girls morning out. I will be honest, I may venture out with all the babes in tow, but it's not often that I leave the "trained maze" that surrounds our home. South...
I can't tell you how happy seeing something like this makes me. I suppose I could be sad that they don't always come to Mommy for hugs, but instead I'm more than secretly thrilled that my middle baby turns to my oldest baby when she needs a little extra love sometimes. I think there are 2 reasons why this makes my heart swell so much. First, they are finding comfort...
(Sorry, Hay wanted to say "Cheeeeese!" again.) Ever heard that thing about if you want to get a whole bunch of things to fit in a bucket, you gotta start with the big stuff and then the small stuff will fit around it? I think one of the small things they use is coffee that gets pored over the rocks and things. Coffee isn't small in my world. It's BIG....
One of the toughest things for me to get used to once all the Littles joined us, was clutter. (Although lack of time and sleepless nights are pretty high up there too...). But my brain goes a little manic with clutter. I have always been able to deal with the craziness of life, if my room or "home base" was picked up and put together. Yeaaaa, that doesn't work so...
Well someone looks a little excited... Watcha got there Miss Addie? I am in total agreement! Those look so cool!!! Oh look, the World of Color Discovery Kit from Baby Einstein has a little book too, fun! And off we went to the playroom to watch. Do you know much about Baby Einstein? Do you have Littles in your life? Your own Littles? Friends Littles? GranLittles? CuzLittles?? Well THEY know...
