What a fun week it was! A few highlights: Andrew got a MAJOR haircut, and I finally took Miss Caroline in for her 9-month check-up. She weighs 20 pounds. I have decided Im just not ever going to wake...
So my goal for the summer is to wake up and be dressed before the kids get up so that we can go ahead and start our day and not be waiting around eating fruit snacks while I put on my makeup. (Not th...
We got Caroline in the pool for the first time this weekend, and its safe to say shes a fan! She splashed and she smiled and she squealed. It helps that her daddy was a competitive swimmer all t...

Ive decided to try a sponsor swap. I have no idea how it will work or if Ill keep it up or if any of you fabulous readers will be interested, but Id like to give it a shot. For the summer. Itll be li...
Andrews had a low grade fever the last two days so weve been hanging out at home waiting for him to get better. ohmyword were all going crazy. You can only watch so much Nick Jr. and build so many Le...

Im catching up on my Project 52 again. I keep thinking of them, and intentionally snapping pictures for the weekly challenge, I just cant seem to get them edited and posted in time. But here I am now...
Hydrangeas are my absolute favorite flower. I love that theyre made up of little teeny tiny individual blooms. I love that their colors are so varied. And I love that they last for a long, long time ...
Yesterday was Andrews last day of Mothers Day Out. We gave his sweet, patient teachers one of my favorite cups. (Thanks for the idea Pinterest.) What a fast, fast year it was. He seemed like such a b...
I have a really great sister. Shes one of the nicest people youll ever meet. Its true. And were so lucky that she and her family live just a few blocks from us. My eighteen month old nephew, Reid, an...
So Ive decided my Mothers Days are going to be all about sports from now on... Last year for Mothers Day we went the Mavs playoff game and beat the Lakers by about 32 points. This year my family head...
Im posting my Project 52 photos, and Im only doing two weeks at once! Im so proud of my punctuality. :) Week 18: Fiesta or Siesta One should take a photo of the margarita before she drinks half of it...
Feeding Caroline has been an adventure these last few months. She has a lot of personality and it certainly shines during mealtimes. :) My baby food experience with Andrew was a good one. I started h...
I was so happy to help host a sip n see for my good friend Kellis new baby boy, Jude, on Saturday. I had lots of great co-hosts and basically only had to get my house ready and make one dish. It was ...
Hello May. May?? What? How did that happen? I swear life is flying by in the blink of an eye. There are only two weeks of Mothers Day Out left. Im a little sad about that. Andrew will be too. He love...
We had this pasta with chicken and tomatoes tonight for dinner and it was so good that I just had to share. I almost never share recipes, because, well, Im not much of a chef, but I think Ive figured...
Andrew loves to play outside, but its hard to spend much time in our back yard these days with miss Caroline getting in to everything. A few times Ive put her in the jumper, but she doesnt really sta...
When Andrew was a baby I talked to him all day long. We had these long conversations where Id tell him what I was doing around the house: Now were going to start dinner. Did you see me get more water...
The thing about being the second child is that you get to take many car naps. So often Andrew and I cruise around town with a snoozing Caroline. Id like for him to be quiet-ish which is asking a lot,...
Yall, its been a doozy of a week around here. The kids and I started getting sick on Monday and by Tuesday morning I had a terrible awful cold with aches and chills and a cough. And then I lost my vo...
My baby girl is eight months old. I can hardly believe it. Its gone by in the blink of an eye; so much faster than when Andrew was a baby. Two-thirds of a year. My mom and I have always been good fri...
A few weeks ago I had no idea what Washi tape was, and now, well, Im a little crazy about it. I used it on my Easter eggs. And then last week as I was admiring my organized pantry I thought, why not ...
Ive been totally MIA from the blog and Twitter this week because Ive been obsessed with organizing ALL THE THINGS. Its a little insane. Or maybe Im a little insane. But remember my simplify my life p...
Im interrupting the GREAT HOUSE CLEAN OUT 2012 to share my Easter photos. I know its going to get worse before it gets better, but my house is currently a complete disaster: closet contents spread al...
