April 27, 2010 in Making our House a Home

Up until a couple of days ago, my “mantle” looked like this: Pitiful, I know–this late in spring, and it is still screaming wintertime with reindeer, evergreen trees, and a cranberry wreath. I decided it was time for some major “springification“! This room has always been full of red accents [...]

No One Wants a Drippy Sippy!

April 25, 2010 in Mom 2 Mom

Until having a kid, I had no idea that there were SO MANY choices of sippy cups!! It’s a bit intimidating, really. Let me tell you what I have learned…a bit of an unsolicited product review. Here are the two kinds of sippy cups we currently own: The one on [...]

My Photo Wall

April 20, 2010 in Making our House a Home

Time for a Tuesday Tour. This is my favorite wall in my house: The pictures were all taken in Thailand. My husband and I lived there for most of 2007. And most of 2006 was spent planning and recruiting teams to join us. We were married in December of 2005, [...]

Looking Up

April 18, 2010 in Mommy Musings

My first 2 tulips opened up today! Aw, tulips… I LOVE THEM!! Never mind that the neighbors tulips look like this: Mine are still babies, and I think they are beautiful! The backdrop leaves something to be desired… But one of my favorite things about tulips is this: They spend [...]

Story Time

April 15, 2010 in Mommy Musings

This… …is pretty much my favorite thing in the world! Josiah loves to read. His face lights up when daddy or I take our place on the floor next to his bookshelf in our living room. He’ll bring book after book after book. After handing over his selection, he turns [...]

SnugasaBugBaby Diaper Bag in Blue Cocoa

April 8, 2010 in SnugasaBugBaby Products

I did a lot of shopping around for diaper bags before Josiah was born. I will admit, there are about a million to choose from, however I never found one I loved. I didn’t want to carry around a bag with Winne the Pooh or Mickey Mouse plastered all over [...]

Making Mud Pie!

April 7, 2010 in Mom 2 Mom

Something I have always looked forward to about motherhood is spending time in the kitchen with my kids. Josiah is only 16 months old but he already knows about all of the ingredients that go into a loaf of bread (…and that flour comes from wheat plants….and wheat has fiber [...]
