My list of goodies to bake recently increased. As I was browsing my usual blogs this morning I saw the cutest idea for peppermint bark. Over at Mommy's Kitchen, she shared a great way to spruce up ordinary peppermint bark, so I definitely can't take credit for this idea! When I saw them, I just had to give it a try, and it made it even better than I already had all of the ingredients in my … [Read more...]
Since it's the weekend, a time to supposedly take it easy, I thought I'd share a few snapshots of my silly kitten, Oscar. … [Read more...]
It's the holiday season, we're all stressed and have to-do lists 5 miles long right? Today, I say not me...I'm casting my stress aside. With a week of sick family members and body aches from the watermelon seed I swallowed, I've decided I won't let stress get to me. … [Read more...]
The last few days have been hard on me physically and emotionally. My body is becoming so drained from this pregnancy, I pretty much look crippled just trying to walk through the house. That's how bad my joints are aching right now. Hubby got nasty sick this weekend leaving the care of the household entirely on me which made things even worse and it became taxing emotionally. When we went on vacation my dad took … [Read more...]
A photo of our blue Christmas tree and some of the decorations. … [Read more...]
my day! In fact, this hasn't been a good week overall. Two nights ago my husband crops up a horrible virus, possibly the flu more likely that it's rotavirus after further research, and has been a nightmare ever since. The poor guy has spent more time with his face in the garbage than anywhere else in the house. While I'm use to running the house myself, having a miserable husband that sounds like Niagara Falls in … [Read more...]
So tomorrow is our Christmas family photo shoot. We realized that our son was starting to resemble The Shaggy Dog, so I told my husband to grab the clippers and trim him up. Bad idea! Usually I take care of my son's hair cuts, but was busy working on my store. I listen in as he trims away, my son going "ouch" my husband yelling "hold still"....it wasn't sounding good. Hubby sends him in to me for final inspection and … [Read more...]
"Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but foot prints." This is a phrase we saw a lot throughout Marco Island. And if you ask me, it's a great one. You can see my little man's foot prints left in the sand to the right. It's a little silly but we've got pictures of every one's foot prints in the sand, even a group photo. Let's chat about the ocean. I'll admit, it's not my friend. I can't swim, I don't care … [Read more...]
The morning after we arrived home from our week long vacation, I had to head over to my OB's office for the monthly checkup. I'm actually on 3 week checkups but manage to squeeze them out to 4 weeks because they are ridiculous. Not to start a complaint session, lets move onto the ultrasound. This is actually my 4th so far this pregnancy. The first to date the pregnancy, the second was the NT scan, the third was the … [Read more...]
Did anyone else notice that time just flew by? It wasn't until today that I realized I'm 29 weeks pregnant, almost 3/4 of the way done and into my third trimester. It really seems like just yesterday I was heaving in the sink and wondering how this happened. Yeah, 3 kids later and I still wonder how these miracles occur. For some women, pregnancy is a time they can't wait to get over with. For me, it's bliss. Sure … [Read more...]
