We had a really good Memorial Day weekend.  The weather was great — sunny and in the high 80s all weekend! With so much to do and our vacation being just around the corner, we decided to stick close to home this holiday weekend.  Saturday we worked on the 15th Street house all day and [...]

Just shy of turning six months old and she finally rolls over!  Of course no one actually saw the big event.  Last night I put her to bed on her belly (yes, she sleeps on her belly…save the “tisk, tisks”) and, to my surprise, she was on her back when I went to get her [...]

Abbi was doing so well with sleeping through the night and going down for her naps.  It was like I was dreaming because it was all so wonderful.  And then, out of the blue, someone came and pinched me…hard and mean and I don’t like it!  Abbi has decided to wake up earlier and earlier [...]

Thanks to the wonderful DVR that we had installed yesterday, I really did have my cake and eat it too!  I was able to watch Lost on the projector downstairs with Tim, his sister, and her family.  After they left Tim and I were able to watch the season finale of Amazing Race, which I [...]

Well, Britney has put herself in the news once again.  Last month she was photographed driving her SUV with her baby on her lap in the driver’s seat.  Her excuse was that she was wanting to escape from the paparazzi.  Then there were rumors of her son taking a fall after his highchair collapsed.  Now, [...]

I just want to wish all of you wonderfully talented, beautiful, spectacular, amazing moms a very happy Mother’s Day.  I want to especially wish my mom and grandma a super happy Mother’s Day.  It is because of their patience, love, and teaching that I have survived and made it to where I am today.  I [...]

Tim and I have, in a semi-jokingly fashion, been talking about getting a DVR (digital video recorder) so we could record our favorite shows when we are gone or watching other shows.  Well, the joking stopped when I found out that the 2 hour season finale of Amazing Race would be airing during a new [...]

This is why I LOVE being a mom.  Abbi loves her bathtime so much!  She thinks it is so much fun splashing in her tub.  As cute as she is, that is not why I write this entry.  It’s actually sparked by the video found here.  If you can’t view the video, I’m so sorry!  [...]

I pretty much watch Good Morning America every morning as I’m feeding Abbi her 7am bottle.  This week I heard a few pretty shocking stories: -  Soda pop companies have agreed, in effort to appease the Anti-Obesity Council, to pull all sodas from their vending machines in elementary and middle schools (leaving water, juice, and [...]

Anyone have their phone number? I refrain from writing about reality TV and my total addiction to it, in hopes of not sounding too pathetic.  But, I am a freak and find myself sucked in to the realm of Reality TV.  Ok, let’s be honest….I find myself sucked in to the realm of TV, Reality [...]
