A Weekend Away Part 2: Coming Back Home

(Composed throughout yesterday) I am heading back to Pullman today from my Weekend Away, and boy, I sure did pack in as much as I could while in Reno. To start, for those of you who read my last post, A Weekend Away, I thought I’d give a little update of how the travels actually went […]

A Weekend Away

I am leaving today for Reno for my baby shower! Yahoo! And no, Gwyneth is NOT going with me… this Mama is flying solo!  I just pictured myself galloping through the airport because my husband believes in getting there JUST in time to catch the flight; 8 1/2 months pregnant; arms full of  a 30 […]

Baby Feeding Belly

I don’t think Gwyneth truly understands that a new baby is coming into our home in a matter of weeks. I mean, she will do some pretty cute things like kiss my belly, point to it and say “baby,” and give it a big squeeze, but as for truly comprehending that her life is about […]

I went to coffee with my Silly Monkey recently, and as I was ordering I was holding Gwyneth in my arms when she pointed toward one of the shelves and said, “Mommy!” What was she trying to show me?

Bonding over Ben

Television used to be a hot topic in our household. Before we moved to Washington we had a TV in our bedroom,  as the hubby enjoyed watching it before bed, and even liked to fall asleep to it. I, on the other hand, can NOT sleep with the TV on at all. The bright picture, […]

Welcome to Parenthood?

There were a couple of “firsts” in our household this past weekend. Our daughter’s first barf-through-the-night-session, and Mommy and Daddy’s first stay up all night changing pajamas, bed sheets and giving baths marathon. Gwyneth started to whine a little bit around 1:00 am on Thursday night. I was COMPLETELY out of it and thought it […]
