I have had lots of things to blog about but I am having trouble with time management still! Here is a brief update on all the kids: Last week Jillian fell off a chair and almost broke her nose, I took her to the doctor but it was still intact! Yay but we had a [...]

Olay and My Blog Spark sent me a bottle of Olay Total Effects Body Wash to review and I have been enjoying using it for a few weeks now. I never buy body wash (just Dove sensitive skin soap) but I might become a convert now. I definitely think using the Olay body wash with [...]

Oh boy, maybe I should have sold both of our high chairs at our garage sale Sat! Jillian does not want to sit in the high chair anymore but she still falls off the booster sometimes, what a monkey. Jillian is 17 months old today, crazy! She is such a talker! I had made a [...]

2 Ethan things I want to remember from this week: “mom did you know that 2 awkward numbers equal an even number!” I love that he said awkward instead of odd and I’m happy with how he really likes math also he has decided mixing 1/2 chocolate milk and 1/2 white milk is like when [...]

I’m not sure where we first saw Animusic, but we have the first 2 shows and the kids love it.  Looks like most of the music videos are on Youtube and definitely something fun to show the kids.  They really enjoyed this “marble race” one.

I made these for the girls this year, I first added iron on fabric stuff to the fabrics and then traced hearts on the 2 fabrics, cut them out and ironed them on. Pretty easy although I should have added the anti-fray stuff to the edges because I think they might start to fray after [...]

Hmm…I thought maybe I should come clean with something: when I take pictures of the kids I always try to angle myself so that the MESS is not in the background and if I do capture some mess I try to crop it out! Oh and I also edit out scratches and boogers and bruises [...]

“I want these”, “I want these”, “I want these”, “I want these”, “I want these”, “I want these”….. Jillian is a talker. I need to record these things better. She keeps making sentences lately and then I forget to jot them down. But last night as John and I tried to sort through things to [...]

Tommee Tippee sent Jillian some sippy cups to review and a set to give away! 16 month old Jillian is a breastfed baby and has not been a big fan of drinking from most cups (although she loves to play with them and pretend to drink). I had bought cups that looked easy to wash [...]

This Christmas one of the presents the boys received from their Aunt, Uncle, and little cousin was Dragon Rider, by Cornelia Funke.  We had never heard of the book, but I added it to our reading pile to start after we finished the second Harry Potter. Well, we just finished Dragon Rider last night and [...]
