Some days you can’t help but be grateful for inventors and their awesome products. The ones who made the calculator and the toothbrush are my personal faves. But some things are just silly and you can’t help but think, what is wrong with these people. Things like the toe shoes: Or the hug me pillow:…
I’ve been experimenting with things to do for Katelyn’s bedtime routine. We’ve got the bath thing figured out but I’m trying to find my comfort zone with other things like reading and singing. I mean really–it takes a while to get comfortable talking to someone who doesn’t respond to you…in a high pitched voice…repeating every…
Let’s face it–being tied down to the apartment wasn’t exactly what I had in mind when I thought of becoming a mommy. Thank you Utah winter weather. So I’ve been trying to think of things that I can do while I’m at home when the laundry and cleaning just ain’t appealing no more. And right…
Some of you may be having some of the same recent issues with posting comments on all of those blogger.com blogs. Seems to be an issue with Chrome? Weird. But I’ve also seen some discussion boards complaining about Firefox, too, although that seems to work just fine for me. In any case, just know that…
Yep, five years. Five years since we did this: Is that weird? Do you feel as old as I do? Where did the time go? For our anniversary (February 5) we went out to dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory. We figured it would be fun since that is where we had our luncheon after…
Last Monday was Katelyn’s four month checkup. Things went well. She managed to get weighed without messing the table, show off her coos and raspberries, and even showed the doctor how she can stand up. The doctor was just trying to pull her up to sitting but Katelyn wasn’t interested in stopping there. Sometimes she’s…
Let’s face it–once you get pregnant you start to compare yourself and/or your child to everyone else and their child. You’re always wondering how far along someone is to see if you look better or worse than they do. You wonder what size of clothes other babies are wearing to see if your baby is…
Well, just do this: I’ve been trying for a good two months to capture this picture perfect expression. Devin just happened to have camera in hand. This is what is known as “the sad face” which often is immediately followed by “the sad cry,” tears and all.
What do you do when you have zero dollars, an extra skirt laying around and a daughter with no church clothes that fit her? You get creative. Last weekend I realized our current situation either required some action or Katelyn going to church in her jammers. So I busted out the old sewing machine, cut…
So I’m sitting here eating my spaghetti with homemade marinara for the fourth time this week and I start to read the package to our favorite tortilla chips–Mission Tortilla Strips which we affectionately refer to as, that’s right, “strippers.” But that’s beside the point. My point is, what is restaurant style anyway? Can you even…
