One of my favorite things to do is bake, and to be able to bake with my little buddy is pretty fun. Sure, it’s messier, takes longer, and not all ingredients always make it into the bowl, but in the end we both enjoy the time spent together. And the treat made, of course! One […]
Ever wonder what a typical day looks like in the life of a SAHM and her two young kids? Well, I’ll tell/show you. 2:30 am- The day begins with an alarm to wake up and pump. This allows me to stock pile some milk for when I need to be away from Cal. 3:00-3:30 Get […]
Gwyn was Skypeing with her Grandma the other day, and before I knew it the computer was missing and I hear chatter coming from Gwyn’s room. I peek in and see this. She carried Grandma into her room and was reading to her, and I thought… “Pff, the perfect babysitter!!” Who needs REAL people these […]
I thought I had my house pretty well child-proofed until a little incident happened just recently. There I was, nursing Baby Cal on the couch when Gwyn went into the kitchen, opened the fridge, pulled out a gallon of milk and walked it to the living room. As soon as I saw her I began […]
This picture and story explain a lot… I’m almost tempted to do this one day so The Hubby could see what would happen if I wasn’t constantly picking up/cleaning something…. hmmm…. No. Because after I would make my point, I’d have to clean it up. Ha! NO THANKS! Source A man came home from work […]
Hubby: “I’ll have a decaf, sugar-free vanilla, soy, blended latte.” Girl behind the counter overhearing order from man’s voice: “Really!?!?!?” Hubby: “Uhh, it’s for my wife.” A few minutes go by… Barista: “ONE DECAF, SUGAR-FREE VANILLA, SOY, BLENDED LATTE!!! Patrons: Looking around aimlessly for the culprit. Hubby: Walking up to the counter with diverted eyes… “……Thanks.” […]
It happened. The first big encounter where I couldn’t be there for both kiddos at the same time. When Gwyn gets up from her nap, she really likes to be cuddled and sit in my lap for a few minutes while she wakes up. She curls up in her blanket, nestles her little head into […]

Gwyneth’s birth video has been featured on the blog, Birth Stories, that shares nothing but just that… birth stories! I am such a sucker for anything related to the birthing experience, so I found myself reading through several of the stories posted on her site before I decided to send her the link to Gwyn’s […]
Gwyneth was ready for solids by four months old. She was practically shoveling the food into her own mouth, so we thought we’d also try with Cal when he turned four months. So, on his “four month birthday” the mush was made up and this is how it went. Staring hard core. Taking a taste.. […]
