Ethan had asked last week when we’d go to another garage sale and since I doubt there would be any good ones after Labor Day, we decided to spend yesterday morning going to a bunch. I looked them up on the online classifieds the night before and John arranged them in the best driving order [...]
I have been thinking for some time that my posture is awful and with my big pregnant belly it seems worse now. I was looking for an easy way to help myself sit better and I decided to try an exercise ball while I’m on the computer. Ball Dynamics was nice enough to send me [...]
My little fish are freezing now when they swim and its still August! They still go in at least once a day but they start to turn blue and have to come out much earlier than they would like. It makes me sad that summer is ending and school starting next week. The boys have [...]
My kids are really drawn to “kids” yogurt, they like the little designs on the cups, they like the size of the cups but mainly they like the actual yogurt in them. Since the kids can eat a lot of yogurt, I had decided last winter to make my own and bought a yogurt maker. [...]
I had my 30 week baby appointment today and it was my first time seeing the OB-GYN this pregnancy. I see the nurse mid-wife for most of my pregnancy each time and then since having the c-sections I switch to the doctor for a few visits and delivery. The arrangement works out great and I [...]

I also decided to upgrade one of my favorites plugins, cforms. This plugin allows me to create custom forms, like our [...]
Sometimes there is nothing that inspires me to write a post and other days I keep thinking that every little thing we do needs to be mentioned on here! Yesterday I had so many ideas but I had already posted a review and it was a busy day so I held off. Lets see if [...]
Jamie loves shoes (and I mention that a lot probably) but she also has a thing for socks and who could blame her when she has two sets of adorable Little Miss Matched socks (see the first 2 pictures below)! She received her socks as gifts from two different people and I had never heard [...]
