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 →

Your Baby Can Read: Walmart Edition

March 7, 2010 · Parenting · 8 comments

Wahmart

Remember the Boogology Jaydenisms? I’ll wait. One of the words on that list was “Wahmart” and it has turned into the next best thing that has graced little man’s mouth since “Dat Natny.” It all started on a random day. A Walmart commercial had come on. You know how all of the Walmart commercials end with “Save money. Live better. Walmart.” and then the logo flashes across the screen? Well, Jayden picked that up and repeated “Wahmart”. Of course we thought that was all sorts of mushy gushy cute. Fast forward to a few days later. We had muted the ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →

Young And Pregnant. Let The Rudeness Begin.

February 21, 2010 · Parenting · 27 comments

Note: I’m not pregnant, sorry for the confusion! This post is about the pregnancy with our 22 month old. Seeing those two pink lines instantly appear on the two pregnancy tests I took? Best thing ever. Calling Greg up while he was in class (college) taking a test? Best thing ever. But when Greg and I announced our pregnancy with Jayden, we got some pretty rude comments. The general rule for replying to a pregnancy announcement is saying “Congratulations” or expressing some sort of happiness, no ifs, ands, or buts. These people obviously didn’t get the memo. Greg: Sheena’s pregnant! ... CONTINUE READING THIS POST →
