Baby C and I love sitting outside and watching the birds, especially the hummingbirds fly around the peach tree in our backyard. We have a really big peach tree which is great for shade and delicious fruit! Last week, we bought Baby C a…

Monday, April 22, 2013 is Earth Day! We are celebrated last week at our local Earth/Arbor Day Festival. It was our first time going and we had a great time! We picked up some free mulch, a free tree, ladybugs for our rose bushes and…

This week has definitely been a crazy week with everything going on in the news.  The people of Boston and Texas are in our thoughts and prayers and I hope that the healing can now begin. I’m not sure what motivates people to commit acts…

The day after we brought Baby C home from the hospital we read through the discharge papers and it said to start tummy time as early as 2 weeks. I was hesitant because Baby C was so tiny but my husband said, "he'll be fine" and put Baby C…

Just finished filing our taxes this weekend - yes, you can call us procrastinators but at least it's done by the 15th. And with a day to spare I might add. I'm all about coupons, discounts and free stuff and I just so happen to come…

Daddy plays on a co-ed softball league on Sundays so Baby C and I go and cheer him on. A majority of the players have babies between 5 months to 2 years old so it is fun for the kids to play together. I usually hang out with the kids or…

Labor Inducing salad…ever heard of it? Well, I saw it on a BabyCenter email and thought if I made it over 39 weeks I HAD to try it. I did and guess what…24 hours later my water broke and I went into labor!  But before all you overdue…

It was about a year ago that we found out we were expecting a baby! After a couple of late periods, I was ecstatic when the test finally said “YES”!  I am so lucky to have had a healthy pregnancy, great support system, loving husband and…

Baby C’s not sick, no runny rose or cough…he’s fussy during the day, sleeping a lot more, drooling excessively and gnawing on everything. There was one day that he had a 99 degree temperature but overall its been about 98.8 degree. We can…
