The Comedian

The other night I was washing my face and Juniper exclaimed “Mommy! You look like a moose! You have polka dots on yours nose!” I was laughing so hard! You never know what that girl is going to say… A while back I bought a notebook with the sole purpose of writing down all of…

July Wrap Up

July was such a fun month! My sister and her family came to stay with us for a few days, we discovered a favorite place to go swimming, bought a cheap bike trailer, finally got library cards, celebrated Shaun’s birthday and our engagement anniversary, had a couple of great date nights and went to the…

Me Myself & I

My friend Kristen is co-hosting a link up party today called “Me Myself & I”, and I thought it would be fun to join in. You just answer the 5 questions and link up! Easy enough. Here are my answers. What is your biggest phobia? My biggest fear is sort of embarrassing, because its something…

Biking Home

Today I did something that I have been saying I would do for weeks and weeks. I biked home from work! It’s only 5 miles, which to hardcore bikers I’m sure sounds laughable. But for someone who is definitely not in the best shape, it’s a pretty big accomplishment. And it wasn’t so bad. Ok,…

Something New

Today I began a new chapter in my life. It was my very first official day back to work full-time! I have to admit, it is a huge relief mentally. I love my kids, and I enjoyed my time as a stay-at-home mom, but I feel like I’m just better at working. I’m actually good…

Heading Home

  Tonight we are heading back home! We have had SO much fun in Connecticut visiting my very, very large family. (I photoshopped this photo quite a bit to get everyone in there. It’s so funny seeing everyone in one spot!) We are driving to Ohio tonight and then spending the weekend camping there. Then…

Tired

  Can I just start by saying, I love my two kids. I love being their mama. I love their hugs and kisses, and the look of excitement on their tiny faces when I walk in the room. I love their insane giggles. I love having conversations with Juniper, and I love the fact that…

Tesha

It’s not really a secret that I have the coolest little sister ever. I have a lot of sisters, but Tesha is definitely pretty awesome. She’s always been my little, tiny, sweetie. Even though she’s given me countless bloody noses, and always calls me Crinkle, I love this girl. Well, today my sweet baby sister…

Traveling With Kids

Well, we made it to Connecticut! I semi-successfully flew across the country with two small kids in tow. And I will never do it again. Ever. But now I can say that I did and that is pretty cool I guess. I was so nervous about the trip that I started getting nauseous on the…

Excitements

There are some exciting things going on around here. This Saturday, the kids and I will be flying to CT for a couple of weeks! I AM SO EXCITED! I love going home to visit. I am a little bit sad that Shaun won’t be joining us, but I know he’ll be enjoying his own…
