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.

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
Owen’s fascination with cats and dogs inspired his second birthday party. His celebration was much smaller this year, but that didn’t stop me from going overboard with the kitten and puppy theme. And most importantly, Owen had a grand time with his very close family and friends. The planning began with the kitten and puppy… Continue Reading
Happy Birthday, Owen!! My munchkin is officially two and this is his last monthly update. I can’t believe this day came so quickly. (Dear Owen, Please stop growing up so fast. Love, Mommy) On his second birthday, I can honestly say that I enjoy the company of Little O more than ever. Yeah, I know… Continue Reading
Another summer, another shower! Having two sisters equals a lot of parties to plan. But I love throwing parties for them – we know each other so well, it’s easy to pick a perfect theme. This was definitely true for Emily’s baby shower. My younger sister Roberta and I automatically knew her shower had to… Continue Reading
Ahh, this is the last time that I’ll be referring to Owen’s age by months. In a few weeks, he’ll just be “2”. It’s a bittersweet moment for me. It seems like just yesterday that I was wondering when I could start giving Owen’s age in months instead of weeks. In the past month, Owen… Continue Reading
