Taking my kids to work

I’ve received a few requests to talk more about taking my kids to work with me and how that works for us. Basically, I work for family in a very small commercial real estate office (three people). My...

A little trim

In all of this beadboard love, I decided that our dining room needed a little something extra, too. After five years of the same thing, I have to say, I am sick of the red. When we moved into this ho...

Kitchen progress

We got so much done this weekend in the kitchen department. We wanted to go ahead and get as much of the beadboard backsplash up as possible, so our first step was to rip out the existing cabinet ove...

Bribery: It’s not just for kids

Did you know that you could bribe yourself? Well, friends, I’m here to tell you that 1) you can and 2) it works! I am holding on to a few pounds after having Brody that I’d love to lose, ...

Transitioning to the big boy bed

After Knox learned to climb out of his crib two weeks ago, we decided to go ahead and move him into a “big boy bed” to prevent falling accidents. Little did we know that those would happe...

Today’s the day!

“The sun is shining, the tank is clean…” (Name that movie!) Okay, really, Disney movie lines aside, today IS the day! Granite day! Woo hoo! Our granite installers arrived at 8:45 th...

Organizing, A Day Date & Ouch

Yesterday morning, my in-laws came over so Trevor and I could go out on a day date. We had no real plans to speak of, other than doing some kind of house projects. We ended up going out to lunch toge...

Kidding-up the bathroom (a mini makeover)

I decided that since we have two little boys sharing the same bathroom, it made sense to turn a very adult room into one that looks more kid-friendly. I mentioned re-doing this room to Trevor and he ...

Houston, we have a climber.

I must say, yesterday was not the most relaxing of Mother’s Days. Knox was a piece of work ALL day long, and injured himself multiple times being by crazy, but the most notable item? He learned...

A few favorites

I know I’m not Oprah, but there are a few things I am really loving right now, and I thought I’d share with you guys! Introducing my favorite things for May: 1) Burt’s Bees Refreshi...

Mission: Kitchen

Here’s what our kitchen looked like when we bought our house in 2007. Why, yes. We did rip out that wallpaper almost the second we moved in, thanks for asking. Then, we painted and changed out ...

Yeah… about that.

So, scratch that whole “we’re selling our house” idea. We have been on the house selling bandwagon for the past month or so, even though I just shared about it this week. Of course, after I blog abou...

Overheard

Yesterday, Trevor had to go to the allergist for allergy testing. Knox came to work with me in the morning, while he had that done. It made for an insane morning at work (when did my kid turn crazy?!...

… and the other part

In addition to the whole “going back to school” fun that I’m going to be starting in January… we’re also selling our house. Yup. We’re crazy people. To make a very...

Big changes

There are some big changes on the horizon. I’ve been trying to figure out, for a while, what I should do career-wise. My current job has been a good one, but it’s not where I want to be long-term. I’...

Progress!

I am so proud of Knox. The past couple weeks have been great ones for him in terms of speech and development. His speech therapist and his interventionist each come once a week, and they’ve bot...

Brody at 2 months old

Brody turned two months old last week, and I have conflicting emotions on this milestone. On the one hand I think, “where did the time go? How is he already two months old?” Then again, I...

A good man is hard to find

Lucky for me, I managed to locate one. Ever since I was prescribed bed rest during my pregnancy with Brody, Trevor has been slowly transforming. He’s gone from hands-on dad to full-on Mr. Mom. ...

Date Night!

So last Friday night, Trevor and I had what was arguably the most-needed date night in the history of Earth. We left both boys with his parents (and plenty of breast milk for Brody!) and hit the town...

Back to the grind

Well, I’m officially off of maternity leave. Sadder words have never been spoken… er, written. Thankfully, Brody is able to come to work with me like Knox was, but the sad part is that Kn...

Plan B… (or maybe Z by this point)

Things have still been less than stellar for Brody’s belly over the past few days. I could tell something else was going on with him, so I knew we’d be discussing that at his two month we...

With thanks.

I cannot begin to say how thankful I am for all of you. Yesterday was a rough day, and I was so hesitant to even post about the way I’ve been feeling. You made me feel so supported and loved, i...

Not me.

I’m struggling right now. Things are definitely not all sunshine and roses in my head at the moment. When I went to the OB the other day, I really was feeling better, mentally. I think thatR...

Gee… thanks, baby.

Brody turned six weeks old yesterday, so we’re actually able to leave the house and go into public places again. Yay! I took a trip to Target with him to celebrate. He was so good and slept most of t...

Six weeks later

Oh, wait, you mean there’s another way to be besides sleep-deprived?? I almost forgot! Let me just say, that an full eight hours of sleep is potentially the most glorious thing that has ever happened...

New Plan

Okay, so long story short, Brody is refluxing like crazy, I’m tired, he’s tired, we’re all pretty daggum tired over here. So. I’ve had enough. Friday we started him on Prevaci...

Fifi’s Closet Giveaway

I don’t know how it is at your house, but my boys have a ridiculous amount of clothes in their closets. It took me forever to wash, fold, hang and organize all of the teeny outfits in BrodyR...

19 mar 12

Hello, again…

Oh, hello! Hopefully you guys haven’t forgotten about me, since I’m blogging, oh, barely ever. It’s gotten really crazy the past few days with Brody’s reflux issues. We’...

One month old

I seriously can’t believe it’s already been a month since Brody was born. I guess that’s what sleep deprivation does for you, though… all of my days run together! He is alread...
