Santa Came!!

Santa brought lots of toys with LOTS of smaller pieces this year!! I'm told the older they get, the smaller the pieces become. We don't own a puzzle that's intact. Gotta work on that! Beckett asked...

Making The Rounds

We really had a busy holiday season this year. Every weekend was filled with something! Earlier in the season we enjoyed our local Christmas parade. Beckett had a BLAST--he was in heaven with all...

Beckett Chatter

All I can say is, I'm working on getting video of the things he says. What comes out of his mouth is halarious, but it's even funnier hearing it from his mouth! Beckett: "What time is it?" Chad: "I...

Naughty or Nice?

Last year Beckett got to sit on Santa's lap twice! This year, we were lucky enough to get to meet St. Nick two times....AGAIN!! The lady that keeps my child is truly heaven sent! She does more than...

Biscoff Crescents

I saw on Pinterest the recipe for Nutella Crescents. Basically, crescent rolls with a dollup of Nutella, rolled in sugar and cinnamon and baked. My original plan was to make these Christmas...

Cleaning Out My Closets

Most of you that know me personally (and even through my blog and Instagram) know that I'm a clothing and accessories junky! I recently stumbled across a great iphone app which allows you to sell...

Decking the Halls 2012

We just did something this year I never thought we would do! We purchased a fake Christmas tree.....not only a fake one....but a 12 FOOT fake one.......that weighs as much as I do! We never let my...

Country Boy

Kickoff to the Christmas Season

How was your Thanksgiving weekend? Whew! We were buuuuuuusy. Sick kid, sick daddy, sick mommy, traveling to Manning and back, 2 year old well visit, put up the monstrosity of a Christmas tree, did...

Beckett's Birthday Weekend

Good gracious! Has it already been a year since Beckett's big first birthday bash? This year was a tad stressful when it came to October/November festivities. Beckett caught a stomach bug the...

Arrrrrgh, Mateys! Happy Halloween

Check out our little pirate! We had a blast again this year at his daycare Halloween party even though he had fought the stomach bug the same week. Halloween Quote of the day: Chad: "Beckett, say...

October Beach Trip

One weekend last month, we took a Friday off of work and headed to Garden City for a long weekend with friends. By Saturday night we had a house full 'o youngins! 7 kids! Thank goodness this was a...

This Is 40

Have you seen the trailer for "This is 40?" I CANNOT wait to see this movie. I loved "Knocked Up" but I think the real reason I loved it so much was because of these two and I think Paul Rudd is...

Shower Routine Favorites

I haven't done a product post in a while because I've stuck with the basics and the old stand-bys. Here's a list of the shower necessities for me. Note: All are drugstore buys, so no need to make a...

Happy Birthday Beckett!

Today "my heart" turns 2 years old! I love you my sweet boy! I never realized how much I'd love you more with each passing day. Before you even arrived, your nonna told me that I'd be smitten with...

God Bless America

Beckett pulled out a book from the stack in his room last weekend that we've been reading this week. It's Irving Berlin's God Bless America illustrated and based on the lyrics of the song. He sings...

Happy Birthday to Anna Wallace

My friend Lauren's little girl turned the big O-N-E this past week. We had such a great time! I'm not kidding when I say that I hope my child enjoys his OWN party as much as he enjoyed Anna...

Cool Kid

I honestly think Beckett loves sunglasses just as much as I do. And that's saying something! Since he was tiny, he's always worn sunglasses. No one can believe he actually keeps them on. I guess he...

Instagram Roundup

It's been busy this week!! Whew! I'm so glad it's almost OVAH!! Here's my roundup.....because there's more to say about these pictures than what I caption on Instagram. Have you met my brother?...
