Once again, I’m really late with Winnie’s update. She’ll be six months old in less than two weeks. But, hey, at least I’m writing about her being five months old while she’s still five months old. My tardiness this month is Owen’s fault. He brought some horrible Ebola-like virus into our household, which basically ruined… Continue Reading
Let’s talk about my least favorite part of parenting: DINNERTIME If your household is like mine, the third meal of the day (following 32 snacks) is an absolute shit show. It doesn’t matter how far in advance I prep dinner. Somehow, just scooping food from a crockpot onto a plate becomes a harrowing ordeal with… Continue Reading
Hi everyone! It’s an extra awesome and lucky Friday because it’s St. Patrick’s Day AND I’m showing you a sham-rocking DIY. This rainbow fan garland is so easy and you only need tape and paper to make it. Even I could handle putting together this colorful party decoration in my extreme sleep deprived state (thanks,… Continue Reading

Since the kids have been bugging me recently (i.e. the past four years), I was inspired to make love bug valentines this year. So I created valentine cards with a few different “buggy” messages that I paired with adorable wind-up flipping bug toys. And because I’m a super nice person, I made the love bug… Continue Reading
You guys, Valentine’s Day is just five days away. And I’ve got a super cute and fun idea — splat ball valentines! When I saw red heart-shaped splat balls from Oriental Trading, I knew they would be perfect for Owen’s valentines for his friends. Throwing a sticky, squishy ball around is pretty much Owen’s version of… Continue Reading
Hey, it’s me, the mom that forgot to write her baby’s two month post. So here I am writing her three month post, because by the time I remembered to write her monthly update, she was already more than 3 months old. Oops. But I would like to point out that I DID remember to… Continue Reading
