Potty training. Two words that send chills down every parent’s back. There are many hurdles in this crazy journey of parenthood and this one is a biggie. You know before you even begin that it’s going to stink (no pun intended). The combination of the words training, toilets, toddler, urine and feces pretty much sounds… Continue Reading
Has it really been two weeks since my last post? Aaahh, sorry I’ve been MIA. I’ve been busy writing this extremely long post about Owen. Yep, he’s two and a half now and it’s time for another update on my silly boy. So much has happened in the past three months – it’s hard to… Continue Reading
Little Carmendy is five months old. And even though we’re in the midst of the long weeks of winter, the days are going by quickly! There’s barely enough time in one day to feed the kids, get them dressed, put them to bed, and clean up their accidents and blow-outs. The past few weeks were… Continue Reading
Since Owen was born, I have really developed a passion for taking photos. A LOT of photos. I am admittedly a mamarazzi. Owen has been photographed as often as an A-list celebrity in the past two years. I’m no professional photographer though; I’m just an amateur that has fun with her camera. But after taking over… Continue Reading
As this year draws to a close, I’m feeling extra happy and thankful. It has truly been a memorable year. I have high hopes for 2015. (More sleep would be fab!) It’s been fun sharing this journey with you via my blog these past 12 months and I think it’ll get even better in the… Continue Reading
In the spirit of the holiday season and spending time with loved ones, I’m sharing some photos of my family with all of you.

Carmendy has been 4 months for over a week now. And Christmas is only 6 days away. How did that happen? Time is speeding by. We’ve been so busy during the past month – a visit to Lancaster to see her great grandmother, her first ride into Philly on the train, her first tree lighting,… Continue Reading
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
It is with much sadness that I am writing this post. It’s going to take a lot of tissues and tears to get through it. Our dear little dog Walter has passed away. He will be greatly missed. Walter arrived in our lives about five years ago, but it feels like he’s been a part… 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
