OK Bloom Woosie is such a cute Etsy shop, and the shop owner, Chio is an absolute doll!! Â Leave it to my brilliant youngest sister with no children to once again steer me in the direction of a fabulous Etsy find!
Our girls were the recipients of the cutest little aprons for their birthdays! Oh my goodness can you stand them??
Love watching the Littles in action at their mini kitchen (or mine) with their aprons on “helping” make dinner!! Sooo cute!
I absolutely love…
Heather of Theta Mom has become an amazing online friend! She is clear across the country from me, but I feel like she is my next door neighbor. Her blog is awesome! Great products and great insite into being a mom in today’s busy life, but also being very real in her day to day moments with her cute kids!
“We are Theta Moms, The True, Authentic Moms. [The-T-A] We are authentic because we live authentic lives. Life isn’t perfect and neither are our kids.” Heather, Theta Mom…
Today’s Friend Favorite is MOST CERTAINLY a Favorite Friend and an amazing mom! Not only is her son darling, her home design eye to die for, she keeps a beautiful garden and makes most food from scratch, and works full time carrying on conference calls late into the evening on the other side of the world! She is a master at managing A LOT! She is also the queen of wonderful resteraunt receommendations! Here are a few of her Orange County pics…so sorry for all of you that don’t live here! You…
We welcome with love
Piper Danielle
Thank you for all the support, encouragement, emails, tweets, posts!
Your friendship, thoughts and prayers mean the world to us!
So it’s here.
The day we finally meet #3…who as I write this still does not have a name waiting for her…but hopefully by the time you read this, she will!
As I write this post one week before you actually read it, I’m flooded with memories from last year. So I’ll warn you now…
this will not be my typical post
it will be more personal
and it will be long.
But it is…
As most of you know from stopping by each day, our third Little is going to be joining us Tuesday, March 9th (still keeping my fingers crossed we make it to the date!) As such, I have a treat to share with you all!!!
First off the truth, as I tell you repeatedly, I’m not super human!!! I’m a regular mom and regular person just like you, that just has lots of tricks up her sleeve!
The only thing I may do differently than others is organize our life to try…
This Favorite comes after an email reminder from a reader in Oakland, California about how wonderful this company’s poufs are! And she is soooo right!! Pixie Dust Decor is a DARLING company that offers poufs, bibs, blankets, burp cloths, tuffets…loads of wonderful cozy things!
I love all of the fabric choices Pixie Dust Decor offers, each item gives you the option to see swatches and collection photos. Not only are they all so cute, but SUPER soft too! We…
My most Favorite Things??
My family.
It’s no secret. And I’m sure you feel the same about your own. As we are down to 2 weeks before our family has 5 people in it (CRAZY!), all I can think about is how fortunate I am to have the incredible husband (and Dada) that I do, and how darling our little girls are (even if they can be little stinkers sometimes too!!)
And I think it’s nice to have small happies for yourself displayed daily reminding you of special moments, or of those…
I know it’s all about my family this week, but then that’s what this blog does is show you how our family functions in the chaos of it all!
You may have noticed that I’ve been lagging a bit on email and comment responses…but there has been so much to take care of with Birthdays, Birthday Parties, Holidays, getting ready for the the new baby, this blog, work, and lack of sleep from sick Littles that I’ve been falling farther and farther behind. Hopefully you’ll except me as human…
It was beautiful Monday!
Soooo sorry to say this to anyone in the rain and the snow, but we’ve had our share of rain in the past few weeks. My Littles and I have been CRAWLING the walls. We couldn’t really leave the house with their colds, so it’s been really FUN! Needless to say the past two days of 80+ degrees have been FABULOUS!
And today was a treat! Hubby was off work with the holiday, so he spent the…
Wishing you all much happiness, good health, laughter, prosperity and good fortune!
It was a BUSY week and weekend in our house, and I’m finding the “To Do” list is getting longer, the weeks before Baby #3 are getting shorter, and I’m getting more and more behind! I apologize for not keeping up as I had planned to…I’m crossing my fingers I can get better at all of this! Until then, here are a few photos from our Chinese New Year/Valentine/February Birthday Party. Hope you all had a wonderful day as well!
So it’s Valentines Day on Sunday AND it’s Chinese New Year. Not that I’m a BIG celebrator of either Holiday, BUT
1. When you have Littles, you can’t ignore that it’s Valentine’s Day
2. Celebrating other holidays can be a fun learning experience and add a little spice to the dinner scene.
3. In our family, it also gives us a theme for our February birthday dinner. February is the one month out of the year that my husband dreads. A whole ton of birthdays fall in February for us….2 of my hubby’s brothers,…
You all are TOTALLY going to laugh at me! But if you are OCD or any kind of over the edge organized person (or WANT to be that kind of person, because you know some of you do) you will love this little find!
I am never happy with my “To Do” lists.
I keep most things on my computer and therefore synced to my phone, but I have never really gotten into keeping lists for particular projects on my computer. I tend to use them so much…
Well, I have to apologize as it seems I made some readers anxious I had gone into early labor because there wasn’t a post Monday morning! So sorry! Not nearly as exciting as that!! Just had a super busy weekend and it seems both girls came down with colds again so my time got away from me.
BUUUT, I do have a great little product tip to share with you and it SAVED me when the girls had first come down with colds a few weeks ago (Pnemonia and…
It was a crazy busy week again (What weeks aren’t for moms?? Do any of you have a new found respect for your mom?? I sure do!) And I can’t believe it’s just over 4 weeks until the newest babe is here! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don’t make a showing any earlier!!! I love ya and can’t wait to meet ya, but you just go ahead and stay nice and cozy until March 9th, Pretty Please!
OK, onto the fun things from this week. I actually had to edit this a bit because I saw…
I have a darling friend from college that I adore and love.
We lived in the same dorm, and she was as spunky as can be! Always smiling, friends with the world, a total spitfire!
I’ll never forget visiting with her in her dorm room the first time and seeing her hooked up to what looked like a small refrigerator, and breathing into a mask…
My friend has Cystic Fibrosis.
When she came to visit with me…
Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie dough
Vanilla store bought frosting
Rainbow Sprinkles and Pink Dots
MANY afternoons of fun!
So easy, even an almost 2 year old can do it.
We baked all the cookies and saved some to decorate (and eat!) each day.
Easy as….
well, a Betty Crocker cookie.
(and pretty darn tasty too!)

So on the same road as Saturday’s post that I just have not felt like cooking, Sunday morning was the same. So we went to Fashion Island, enjoyed a little Pain du Monde yumminess and then let Addie run around since all the stores were closed. As you can see, she REALLY dressed up for the occasion!! (We had to wear rain boots and we had to bring our pet balloon, AND that is her bed head….)
We ended the morning at Barnes and Noble.…
It’s been a busy, but slow week! Anyone else in So Cal feeling a little HOUSED with the Littles this week??? We have been reduced to having all the chairs back on top of our kitchen table. BOTH Hayden and Addie are having fun climbing on EVERYTHING! Addie now thinks climbing the drawer handles to get into the upper kitchen cabinets is fun…OH JOY! Our biggest saving grace outing was Frogg’s Bounce House. WOW, did we LOVE this place.
This was Addie about 30 seconds after we…
Being almost 3 months old in the blogger world, there have been MANY new things to learn and introductions made! It’s been fun AND challenging! Exciting AND frusterating, the learning curve is HUGE! But the one very positive and consistent thing I’ve found is the blogger community. Some of you visit MFE as readers, and as friends, or as an occasional passerby and some as fellow bloggers. Being so new to the blogger world, I had NO IDEA until I got here the kind of support and friendships you can…
