I Heart Faces is doing “tooshies” this week instead of faces, so I’m celebrating with this picture of our little team mascot....

1.) A few months ago I picked up a few of those re-usable grocery bags from Wal-Mart and I am wondering why I didn’t do this sooner. The straps are long enough to sling them over your shoulder, which makes them considerably easier to carry in from the car. It also forces the cashier to pack the bags entirely, instead of having 2-5 items per bag, which drives me crazy.2.) Speaking of Wal-Mart, I was there today and was almost run over...

That old saying about getting spoiled at Grandma’s house was true for us this holiday weekend. Though Jayce was spoiled by the usual stuff, toys and snacks and whatnot, there were also a few surprise bonuses, such as non-child safety locked drawers, and Tupperware on the bottom. This happened a few different times over the weekend. The first time was while I was asleep and I just discovered a few pictures on my camera after the...

The month of November has been a good one for my blog because I have have been giving it more attention since I commited to blog every single day. (I know I got a slightly late start, but anyway...) The only bad thing about writing every single day is that, on some days I really like whatever I have posted about and would rather leave it on top for a few days, instead of it getting pushed lower and lower on the page every time I post something new....

Today I am thankful that we can reach our families in a trip that doesn't require a plane (though it is a little faster that way), that my son is at the age where he's making animal noises, and that up until this weekend my husband has allowed me to be oblivious as to how to change the Diaper Genie cartridges. Life is go...

Today was, as the title might suggest, a day in the car. We drove out of town to see family for Thanksgiving, and then out of town from there to meet up with other family members for dinner. We then drove back to the initial out of town location for sleeping and Thanksgiving celebrations. We have only just arrived and I am completely wiped out! My 18 month old, who normally naps for about 4 cumulative hours only slept for 1 hour, and went to bed 3+ hours late. I hope he sleeps in tomorrow, because I need to sleep in tomorrow! And since Chris...

I have had the recent fortune of making these awesome wall hangings and I am completely in love with them! I saw this idea in Lowes Creative Solutions this summer and have been obsessed with making them ever since. Luckily they turned out perfectly, were pretty easy and the results are gorgeous, so just I have to share them.I started off with a few pieces of poplar board, 1 inch x 12 inches x 6 feet. I had them sawed in half, which left me...

As I’ve mentioned several times in the past few days, Mom came into town to help me this weekend while Chris was away. As always, we took on more projects than two people could possibly handle in 72 hours, especially with an 18 month old in the mix. Anyway, we made solid progress on a few things, and finished up the most incredible thing, which I will post about later in all of it’s glory. But most importantly, she was able to “help”...

1.) My mom found this little tractor at Goodwill for $11 and we got it for Jayce. He loves it so much that he would barely get off of it. Even when he wasn’t pushing himself around he would just sit contentedly. 2.) Actually, when he first woke up from his nap and saw it in the house, he threw down his essential naptime bear, removed his pacifier and flung it on the ground, and ran to the tractor. I have never seen him do that...

My friend gave me this picture, which cracks me up. We were trying to get Jayce to pet this little caterpillar and he just was NOT having it. He really hates bugs. I think this is my fault, something to do with allowing our friends to torture play with him and a fake cockroach. (If you haven’t seen this video it is well worth the 15 second time investment.) Anyway, now whenever we encounter a ladybug (which is often) Jayce will...

You know that saying that goes something like, when mom is away the kids will play? Well at our house it’s a little more like, when dad is away mom will play…by taking on excessive crafts and projects around the house. I know that mine doesn’t rhyme, but I hope you’ll forgive me for that. Anyway, here is just a peek at a few of the projects that Mom and I are ambitiously taking on this weekend. The second, and probably the most...

This week I received a belated birthday package in the mail from my fabulous brother. I was beside myself with excitement and eager to try it out. You see it pictured below, a seemingly simple plastic attachment that snaps on your camera over the attached flash, which everyone knows is the root of all evil in picture-taking. The purpose of this bouncer is to help you become friends again with your flash instead of NEVER using it,...

Has anyone else heard about the Baby Einstein dvd refunds? Basically, the Baby Einstein company recently admitted that claiming the dvds were “educational” was just a marketing tool, and was a misrepresentation of the product itself. They are now offering a refund or exchange option for dvds purchased within the last 5 years. If you want to read more, check out this site. For information on where to ship your dvds, see here. We didn’t really watch any of the Baby Einstein videos with Jayce, but not because I have anything against...

Here is a new one that just started last week. Chris attaches an old belt to this laundry tub, with Jayce in it, and then runs full speed through the kitchen, across the living room and down the hall. Jayce thinks it’s hilarious, not that you had any doubt that he would. He laughs so hysterically that Chris has to pause periodically to let Jayce catch his breath. A few times he even let out little screams of delight,...
