December is flying by, isn’t it? I can’t believe it’s already been over a week since we kicked off December with a North Pole Breakfast celebration for the little ones. If you’re not familiar with a North Pole Breakfast, it’s a breakfast to introduce the Elf on the Shelf for the season. We decided to… Continue Reading
Our little chunkster is three months old! And she has been for nearly two weeks. I’m just finally getting around to posting her monthly update – just in time for Thanksgiving! I am feeling so very thankful for my baby girl (and Owen too), as I write this post. Carmendy’s demeanor has stayed the same.… Continue Reading
Carmendy’s christening was truly a beautiful ceremony and celebration with our dearest friends and family. Our good little girl behaved her best and barely made a peep throughout the entire mass. She hardly noticed the water being poured over her head. There was some chaos of course. After all, Owen was present. The little nugget… Continue Reading
Another month has passed – time for an update on our littlest little! Baby Carm is growing rapidly and losing her newborn looks. Upon meeting her, almost everyone says “She’s a chubby one, isn’t she?” Apparently, feasting on my breast milk day and night is like chugging milkshakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner…the pounds pile… Continue Reading
If you’ve been following my blog for a little while, then you know by now that I’m a candy corn addict. And as soon as those bags of candy corn hit the store shelves in August and my girl Carmendy arrived, I started looking at candy corn baby attire. Candy corn hats, tights, onesies, hair accessories…I… Continue Reading
Wow…it’s been one month since Carmendy came into this world! With time going by so fast, it’ll be a small miracle if I manage to write a monthly update for Carmendy for the next two years. But I must! What kind of mother would I be if I didn’t do for Carmendy what I did… Continue Reading
Two years ago, after Owen was born, I wrote about the first three weeks of caring for a newborn. Now here I am, going through it once again. But things are so different this time (mostly in a good way!). The first time I was surprised by the boredom and loneliness. Newborns aren’t exactly bundles… Continue Reading
The newest Baby Kopp is here! We’re so excited to share the news of her arrival, which was quite the event. Even though she arrived only a few hours after her due date, being my usual unprepared self, she took me by surprise. I was convinced she would be a late baby. While eating dinner… Continue Reading
If you’re a mom or mom-to-be, you’ve seen all the cute nursery wall art on Etsy, right? It makes me wish I had more walls to decorate. I often visit Etsy for inspiration and then go the DIY route, making something similar myself. So I was more than happy to create some wall art for… Continue Reading
Confession: I’m not a prepared parent. I pack Owen’s meals for the sitter’s about 10 minutes before I leave the house. I always forget sunscreen. Heck, the other day while shopping at Target, Owen squeezed pureed fruit from a pouch all over himself and I realized that I had absolutely nothing to wipe him off… Continue Reading
