We’re going on a picnic, today, to the park. Each mom is bringing lunch for their kiddos. Today, I packed Jayden’s lunch for the first time and I’m wondering if I even packed enough. He’s already had at least 10 slices of deli meat (no lie), a bowl of chips, and half of a peach raspberry muffin in the last hour. Growth spurt, yes?

Today was a veg day.

Yesterday night seemed endless. Jayden hadn’t napped at all during the day and he would not go to sleep at bedtime. He went down twice well past midnight and woke up both times. He finally went down for good around 6am. 6am people. We had to get up at 10am because our landlords stopped by to inspect. Yay. Today was a veg day. We were so slugged out. We had plans to go grocery shopping, but I opted for noodles and Dominos instead. Jayden’s been hijacking my journal for doodles, so we brought out his paper and crayons so that ...

Park Day March 24, 2010

Yesterday during our playdate, we took a trip to the park. I was exhausted, but I managed to snap a few photos.

I thought The Princess and the Frog would be my babysitter.

And the winners are: Loni (trippyjanet) & Sheila (skkorman)! Congrats! This afternoon I decided to pop in a DVD in hopes of entertaining Jayden while I attempted to get some work done on my laptop. We had received The Princess and the Frog Blu-ray Combo Pack last week, so I thought that would be a good choice. I loaded up the Blu-ray Disc Player and toggled with the surround sound. As soon as the movie began, his eyes instantly became glued to the big screen. I thought, “Ok maybe this could work. For real this time.” He danced to the ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →

Dishes in the tub. No food outside of the kitchen.

Tackle It Tuesday Meme

The pipes underneath our kitchen sink have cracked and come apart. They are plastic. Genius. Rather than let this disaster come in between our daily tasks. We made lemons out of lemonade. Last night we washed dishes…in the tub. We transported the dirty dishes upstairs in a laundry hamper. Excuse the nasties. It’s flour from cookie dough. I sang random lines from Outkast songs and blurted pieces from stand up comedy shows to stay entertained while washing. Each cleaned dish went into a laundry basket until it was time for Greg to rinse. Someone is coming over tomorrow to repair ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →

I think I’ve given away and sold almost 50% of my wardrobe including pjs and purses. I ain’t partin’ with my shoes, sorry! The Department of Education ate my tax return. Thank gawd I got a new gig. I’m so ready for spring weather, frequent park days, curtains blowing along stormy winds, and the smell of freshly cut grass. I’m doing mental backflips because The Game is coming back! That’s what’s up! I’m having breakfast, lunch, and scientific fun with Dyson and fellow Domestic Engineers tomorrow. I really want a baby girl. My First House and House Hunters continue to ...

I’m riding the wayback machine while building an American Greetings PhotoWorks Studio Book.

Photoworks Studio Photo Book Preview

I’m in the process of taking the wayback machine through old photos of Jayden. Since his 2nd birthday is right around the corner, I figured, why not create a book documenting his first 2 years? Mom Central and American Greetings PhotoWorks teamed up to offer me the opportunity to create a baby themed Studio Book. I’m having so much fun creating the book, sifting through folders of photos, swapping backgrounds, layouts, elements, and fonts. I’m trying to tastefully cram as many photos as I can on each page. I’ve taken so many pictures over the years! I’d like to show ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →

A Week Ago…Today

Punch

We had a special GNO with delicious Mexican cuisine, chocolate cupcakes, and a yummy punch. We held baby Thatcher and our ovaries quivered. We had girl talk. We laughed, hysterically. We said goodbye to our friend. Farewell dear Carrington. Wednesday playdates and GNO will never be the same, but we are elated to see you beginning this new chapter in your life! Congrats!

All the cool kids drink from Tommee Tippee Explora Sippy Cups.

Tommee Tippee Explora

It’s been ages since we bought new sippy cups. We’ve just dealt with the ones we have. Some would leak if we didn’t screw the lids on properly and some were such a chore to clean. Jayden is almost two and it’s time his sippy cups reflect that. And I wouldn’t complain if they were a little easier for us parents to maintain. My friend Jen, introduced me to Tommee Tippee Explora Sippy Cups. She’s a sippy cup snob, so if she raves about them, then they must be pretty darn good. Tommee Tippee shared the wealth with me when ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →
