15 Weeks Pregnant

November 25, 2010 in Mommy Musings

An official update on the size of me and my little “punkin” at 15 weeks… Happy Thanksgiving!

Handmade Blocks Tutorial

November 24, 2010 in Mom 2 Mom

I have wanted for some time to have a fun way to keep a collection of photographs of our most immediate relatives so that Josiah can “get to know” them from a distance. (We live in Colorado, but our families live in Nebraska and Tennessee.) At first I was thinking [...]

Handmade Blocks

November 22, 2010 in Mom 2 Mom

These are the blocks I made for my Josiah for his 2nd birthday… They have ABCs… 123s… shapes… and colors. What really makes them special are the photos of everyone who loves him most. Our little growing family (in the eternal imaginary game of keeping score, I think I should [...]

Early Second Trimester Maternity Pants

November 20, 2010 in Mom 2 Mom

Early in the second trimester is when it is most challenging to know how to properly clothe oneself. The midsection is definitely acquiring some pudge…but nothing that officially qualifies as a “baby bump.” The clothes that fit before you got pregnant probably still fit–but not the way they should.  And [...]

14 Weeks Pregnant

November 17, 2010 in Mommy Musings

The baby is now about 3.5 inches from head to rump (the size of the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick-maker including the round base but not the hat). I can’t suck in my gut anymore, so tight shirts like this one are worn only at home (and, ironically, when [...]

Sprinkles to Slides, What a Day!

November 16, 2010 in Mommy Musings

What a great day! My little man started his day with sprinkles on his pancakes and it only got better from there. Mommy and Daddy were both home all day with no real agenda other than hanging with the birthday boy. We had no big party or anything (Grandma says [...]

What Makes a Good Playground for Toddlers?

November 13, 2010 in Mom 2 Mom

Josiah has taken to running laps through the house. Or to spontaneously jumping up and down several times (it is very cute to see him master this skill). Cold weather brings with it many wonderful things, like scarves, hot cocoa, Christmas, cinnamon and spice flavored foods, cozy clothes, etc. Pent [...]

13 Weeks Pregnant

November 10, 2010 in Mommy Musings

The baby now measures about three inches from head to rump…which is about the size of this Little People Farmer (if you consider the blue base to be his rump and not his legs…kind of subjective if you ask me). I had a Doctor appointment yesterday and got to hear [...]

November 5, 2010 in Other People's Stuff I Like

If you are new here, let me briefly fill you in on my “Friday Favorites.” Based on the incredible wisdom of my dove chocolate wrapper, I instituted “Friday Favorites” in order to share with my readers what other bloggers and etsy sellers have written and/or created. If you have made [...]
