Fabulous Favorites

Quite a few people emailed me after seeing Piper's photo in Saturday's post, for the bouncer chair and blanket info in the photo. I LOVE both if these!! The chair is the BABYBJÖRN BabySitter Balance. I've had a number of bouncy chairs and this is BY FAR my favorite! A good friend passed it down to us and I couldn't be more thankful! The blanket is a Aden & Anais...

contented baby = contented mommy

People ask me all the time about what I can't live without for the babies. And I'm not really sure that there are just a couple...that's why I have the Baby Favorites Gallery. But there are definitely a few things that my sleep deprived brain is so thankful for! Gina Ford is my hero. She wrote a series of books starting with The Contented Little Baby: The Simple Secrets of...

BEST gift for a new mother, 2nd mother, any mother!

Our family was given an AMAZING gift from so many of our friends! One Fab Friend in particular offered to organize a few dinners for us for after Piper was born. I loved the idea, but didn't really think we would need THAT many dinners! Maybe a couple weeks worth at the most. HAAAAAA, HAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAA! I was sooo clueless! As my sweet Fab Friend's email to everyone said, "Baby...

mother’s day is around the corner…

Even when life is crazy, and you're not sure how you will survive, for me I look at my Littles and am so thankful for each of them. That's not to say that they are perfect and that every minute is easy, but it is to say that they make my heart smile! For my birthday last year, Addie (and Dada) gave me a sweet little necklace with Addie's name. ...

yummie tummie for mummie, er, mummy!

OK, baby is here, I'm still at the hospital, but I can assure you that I'm DREAMING of, (longing, salivating, DYING) to get my pre-3-year-pregnant body back!!! I'm no fool, I know it will take some time (even if hubby is hoping it will be back by Monday...), but get it back I will! But I have a secret, (though not so secret when you publish it in a blog...

hospital time…what to pack?

Sunday I finally sat down to pack my hospital bag. Can't believe I waited until now, but it's finally done! I tend to keep things simple when I pack my bag for the hospital. If you have a regular delivery, your stay will be short. But you will still be DYING for that first shower, and you will still want some cute and cozy things to wear (and to be...

friend favorite ~ tight bod with a pod

Melissa Heuser is a hero to me! She saved my backside, quite literally, when I was pregnant with my first baby, Addie. I was still working full time in an office and she came to my house 2 mornings a week and whipped my booty into gear. I wore my pre-prego jeans until I was 5 mos pregnant and then switched to maternity clothes. I loved that people would tell...

wordless wednesday ~ and then there would be 3

This is last summer at the Orange County Fair. It's about the time we found out we would have 3 Littles... The expression on the girls' faces in the second frame is how we felt when we heard the news... But now we are feeling like frame #4 Can't wait to meet her!...
