Ta-dah! I’m finally revealing Owen’s big boy bedroom! He’s been out of the nursery for months, but I’m only getting around to sharing his new space with you today. And after all the time it took to renovate and decorate, I think his bright blue and red room turned out pretty close to perfect. Definitely… Continue Reading
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
Boy is my boy getting big! It’s been over three months since the last time I posted about Owen. I’ve missed writing about him and I bet you’ve missed reading about him (or maybe it’s just me and Richard that find him to be endlessly entertaining?). There’s so much to say about the past three… 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
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
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
Owen’s birthday party is going to be an intimate affair this year. We’re keeping it very small since baby #2 will be about ready to pop. Knowing I was sending out less than a dozen invitations, I took the opportunity to make elaborate invites. I, of course, had to share them with you! After much… Continue Reading
