We took the kidlets to see Santa today. It was a trip to the mall full of good memories for our family. I know the kidlets are little but I still think seeing Santa is a must do before Chistmas, I mean a way higher priority then say getting my Christmas tree up (seriously, maybe we'll do it this weekend.) Hmmm...well … Continue Reading...
So, we went and had our Christmas pictures taken yesterday. Yes, I know, I am super extremely late on getting those done this year. We may be sending New Year's cards out instead of Christmas cards. I have even contemplated sending a Christmas card/picture via email but thought, 'Now really? Am I THAT person? What … Continue Reading...
So, I realized that I never posted about one of my most favorite gifts that I bought for Penelope for her first birthday this summer! Which is ok, I guess, cause I can tell you all about it now since I bought her another one for Christmas. So what is this mysterious gift, you ask? It's the sweetest rag doll made by the … Continue Reading...
*I have recently updated the photographs for this recipe, please enjoy! I am always super excited for December to roll in because when I go grocery shopping I get to find Eggnog in the stores and then precisely fill my cart up with it! I used to hate eggnog when I was a kid but like so many people say, your tastes … Continue Reading...
Lately, we have been loving our local library card. And not just for the loads of books we check out every week, the free Wii games we rent for our family or the free storytime hours we meet friends at and get some well needed time out of the house. Our library, and many throughout Illinois, is currently offering the … Continue Reading...
Happy Thanksgiving ...a day late! We were busy eating and playing yesterday, sorry! I hope you all stuffed yourselves full of all the Thanksgiving goodies on your table. I am home now, on a mini-break from shopping. Oh, trust me. I did NOT start at 5 am. I contemplated it, not gonna lie. Instead I slept until … Continue Reading...
Humm...so what have I been up to today... Well, I'll spare you the drama (well, most of it anyways) and give you the abridged version...my day went a little something like this: 1. Early morning playdate with friends...always crazy with the kidlets but always lots of fun! 2. Spent the rest of the morning and afternoon … Continue Reading...

So, the birthday weekend is coming to and end. We went down to Chicago yesterday to take in some sites and take my dad to the train station. So sad. It was so nice having him here for a few days to help us celebrate Noah's birthday. Since we live so far away from all of my family, we don't get to see them to often and … Continue Reading...
Yup, that's right, my little baby boy Noah is 3 years old today...well, technically at 11:59 pm tonight but who wants to wait until then to celebrate and for only 1 minute! He seemed to have a blast today as at this age he very well knows it's his birthday. For the past few weeks he has been singing the Happy Birthday … Continue Reading...
I was going through some of the pictures we have taken over the last month and came across these: Aren't they just so sweet, they melt your heart? Sibling Love, that's what it's all about. It seems my little ones have shrunken that huge gap of tiny little baby and big, big brother to two little playmates who can't … Continue Reading...
So. I have had some readers email and write in the comment section about a tutorial for a felt cupcake. How fun, I thought...that would be a really cute felt food to make. So, here is my version of a felt cupcake with frosting. It was actually really easy to do and I actually handstitched it all in one viewing of … Continue Reading...
