When we learned that we had gotten orders on the day Cole was born, I started thinking about what I wanted to do while my husband was gone. I certainly needed things to keep me busy and like most new moms, I needed to lose the baby weight and then some. Since my husband left [...]

Yogurt Painting
Last night we tried a fun and easy activity I had seen on a toddler activities group I am in on Facebook. I can not tell you how easy it was to prep since all the ingredients were already in my kitchen. In minutes I had pulled out the Greek yogurt my son loves, a cupcake tin, [...]

The Goober’s room was going to be done in penguins and giraffes (my husband and I’s favorite animals) and [...]

I just might be a WAHM
Nope. That isn’t a radio station. It stands for work at home mom. And I’m thinking that is the definition that best fits my ‘work’ situation for now. I had to google it. I thought WFHM stood for work from home mom, but apparently WFHM is already taken by Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, but I [...]

On a scale of ‘eating a cheerio off the bathroom floor’ to ‘disinfecting the light switches every day’ I am somewhere in the middle. Most of us probably are. My house isn’t as much dirty as it is cluttered. I have cleaned up my act a bit since Eli has been in the picture, but [...]
