My goodness, time is flying! I’m actually a bit sad to be posting about Owen’s 9-month birthday. Before I know it, he’s going to be a resentful teenager who only cares about video games. Sigh. I wish he would be my little chubby baby forever. Sadly, that will be coming to an end soon…I just… Continue Reading
Ahhhh…springtime! Stuck in the house with an infant these past few cold months, I’ve never been more ready for warm weather than I am now. I’m even looking forward to weeding.

If you’re like me, when you think of George Washington you think of cherries. So in honor of his birthday, I decided to whip up one of my favorite cakes – Cherry Crown Cake. You don’t need to chop down a cherry tree for this recipe. You don’t even need to make the cake from… Continue Reading
Happy Belated Valentine’s Day! Here’s an easy craft project that I came up with for a Valentine’s Day home decoration. It involves a lot of buttons, hence the title for this posting (speaking of which, try to say the title three times fast – betcha can’t!).

I’ve been a mother for half a year now and these past six months have been incredible. I’ve learned so much during my first months as a parent – I finally feel ready to pass on some advice! I do believe that no amount of reading and guidance can truly prepare you for parenthood (at… Continue Reading
Wow – Baby O is six months old! So much has happened in the past month. He made it through his first holiday season into the New Year. His very first cousin was born, little Baby Brooklyn. He has mastered sitting by himself and he can push himself up into crawling position on his hands… Continue Reading
