You guys, this is BIG. You’ve got to watch the latest video from Kiddie Kopps Productions. It’s only a minute long but Owen and Carmendy’s performances are Oscar-worthy. It’s so good I’m thinking I should switch from a blogger to a vlogger. And you’ll want to wait until the end for this video…you don’t want… Continue Reading
I’m about ten days behind with this monthly update, as usual. BUT Carmendy is still 14 months old AND we took her photos on the actual date of her birth this month. So I’m kind of killing it this month, at least compared to my punctuality in the rest of my life. I should probably give this post… Continue Reading
Aaaahh. It’s fall. A time for spiced lattes, sweaters, pumpkin patches, and apple pies. A season filled with outdoor activities for families – festivals, hayrides, apple picking, corn mazes, pumpkin patch visits. Glorious days in the golden sun of autumn, playing in the falling leaves and savoring the crisp air. Yep, fall is here and… Continue Reading
Good news! I’ll be chronicling Carmendy’s second year of life monthly, so you’ll continue to see her cute pics every 30 days. Here’s our 13-month-old’s first second year report and photos. It’s a little late (okay, maybe two weeks late….but at least I’m posting this before she’s 14 months old!). This past month Carmendy reached… Continue Reading
Hard to believe, but Owen has been three for nearly a month. I swear we must have jumped through a wormhole because it feels impossible that I have a three year old and a one year old. While I find myself in the throes of deep sadness every time I think about how big my… Continue Reading
Owen is three! And to celebrate his big day, we threw him a party inspired by playtime outdoors. Owen loves playing outside, so this was the perfect theme for our little man — dirt, wagons, water guns, balls, bikes, worms, jump ropes and bugs galore! The theme was brought together with the colors, which were neon… Continue Reading
Yes, it’s true. There are some positive, dare I say wonderful, parts of parenting (albeit not many, but it’s about the quality not the quantity). I don’t often talk about the good parts. Instead I do a lot of bitching and moaning about the bad parts on this blog (as evidenced here and here). A… Continue Reading
I’ve decided to share some of my favorite things every now and then (since I’m such a trendsetter, lol). For this first edition of stuff I love, I’m featuring a book subscription service for kiddos, adorable hair bows from an awesome Etsy shop, and the next big (but super tiny) thing in swimwear. Plus, I’ve… Continue Reading
Almost every child participates in an annual Field Day for preschool or grade school. But why not have a fun day of outdoor games and activities for our pre-preschoolers? I asked myself this question a few months ago and the idea for Toddler Field Day was born. I suggested the idea to my fellow playgroup moms… Continue Reading
It goes without saying that parenting is hard. Really effing hard. I knew before I had kids that it wasn’t going to be easy. I’d never heard a parent boasting about how effortless and convenient raising a kid is and I’d watched a couple episodes of Parenthood, so I kind of figured parenting would be more challenging… Continue Reading
