Bumbleride Indie Twin Stroller – Off Road

bumbleridetoddler

The weather perked up quite a bit this past week, which meant it was time to take the Bumbleride Indie Twin Stroller out for stroll. We've been through the assembly, highlighted the features, long walks through our even surfaced neighborhood, and now it is time to head off road. The perfect place for this was one of our favorite parks. While much of the park is paved, we like to go off the beaten path and stroll … [Read more...]

You've seen my cooking, or maybe you haven't, it's all right here in my Cat's Kitchen recipe collection. I'm warning you now, I'm like Paula Dean's long lost sister, or maybe the daughter she never had. I love BUTTER and I'm not afraid to use it. This recipe, my friends, uses more butter than you should probably consume in a week, but I swear it's worth every single bite! Basically I'm taking one simple recipe and … [Read more...]

My Love/Hate Relationship with Breastfeeding

breasfeedingboppy

I've got a strange relationship with breastfeeding my kids. Every single one has been a different adventure that has become very emotional for me. I'm sure many of you ladies can back me up on this...there's a lot of guilt and pressure associated with breastfeeding. The sad part of all of it is we often bring it on ourselves, which I'm very guilty of. I don't necessarily feel pressure from family, friends, or my … [Read more...]

Toddlers and Too Many Toys

messyroom

I've made a decision. Toys are now banned from the birthday and Christmas wish list. Or at least I need to set up an exchange program because clearly, things have gone too far. If I can't walk through my child's bedroom without nearly breaking my neck we've got a problem. You see, having two little ones to care for with no help during the day means I've have to corral one to clean the other. I thought for sure … [Read more...]

Brownie Smores Recipe

smorebrownies

I have to say, with the news of my business basically going down the toilet, thanks to corporate greed and the thought of having to leave my kids to work outside the home after 8 years has me a bit on the depressed side. To cheer myself up, I needed chocolate, and lots of it! I had a box of brownie mix hanging out so I decided it was time to do some baking, and dress it up a bit. What You'll Need: 1 box of … [Read more...]

Happy 2 Months Emma

emma2months

With the recent cloudy news and posts, it's time to brighten things up a bit. Tomorrow my baby girl, Emmaleigh, will be 2 months old. The one thing I've noticed with each child we've added to our family is that before they are born, I wondered if it would feel weird having a new person in the family. Would I love this child as much as the others? Now that we have three, I can honestly say, it feels like our family … [Read more...]
