Two significant things happened in the life of my son today; he was diagnosed with pink eye and he got a train table!
I’ll tell you about the train table, because that part’s more exciting. I have been toying (get it?) with the idea of getting a train table for Carver because he loves playing with [...]
The coupon world has been good to me this week.
CVS
2 packages of Huggies diapers
2 tubes of Colgate Total
total: $9.00
Harris Teeter
$106 worth of groceries for $43!
The third trimester has hit hard. I’ve been torn between a deep urge within my gut to GET THINGS DONE and the opposing weight of complete exhaustion. As I am well into this pregnancy, I remember from last time that Nesting (for me, at least) turns from an interest in browsing Etsy for cute growth [...]
Adorable red-head, sense of humor beyond his years, social charmer, great sleeper… these are all characteristics that describe my son. However, good eater is not one of those descriptors. Ethan and I have been frustrated with the C Monster’s eating habits since we first put a spoon in his mouth. While our frustrations manifested differently, [...]
I was talking to my sister about throwing a birthday party for young children. Sure, kids 3 and under probably won’t remember and its mostly for the parents, but that doesn’t make a birthday less worth celebrating! So for those of you that are interested, here’s my 2 cents:
Plan an easy menu or something you [...]
At 11:50 last night I looked at my clock and thought “Wow, I can’t believe I haven’t fallen asleep yet.” Then, at 11:59 I heard Carver cough. We both heard it. By the second cough we were both heading straight for Carver’s room, Ethan for his crib and me for the inhaler. Turns out it [...]
Ethan and I are looking for something to do together (besides dishes). After our Google search: “couple hobbies,” these are some of the things we have ruled out: collecting stamps, archery, coupon clipping and taxidermy. We make a really great team and can tackle a week of parenting, school, laundry, keeping chickens, and preparing meals, [...]
I know I should just blog when my Facebook status won’t fit in the box. So here goes an elongated status/random stream of consciousness:
1. Cold weather and pregnancy…boy am I thankful for leggings.
2. These are the things Carver has done in his bat costume since the beginning of November: dinner at Moe’s, visiting Ethan at school, [...]
I’m pretty sure I couldn’t think of one more life change to add to the list if I tried. This week has been a whirlwind of events, some wonderful and some devastating. In the midst of it all, I know a few things to be true:
God is good.
My husband buys me flowers.
Preschool has been 100% [...]
I almost sat down to write Carver a blog about how I’ve loved being a stay at home mom and how it will be weird spending 20 hours a week away from him. But then, I just went into his room and held him and now I’m pretty sure I’m on the verge of bawling [...]
