2under21

I have 2 kids under the age of 2 and I'm going insane! - I must have said that phrase a dozen times today to just about anyone that will listen - my husband, the mailman, my son, even the door knob. And then I thought, hey, why not my blog, there must be some seasoned moms out there with a tip or two for me. Or least a mom or two that understands how I'm feeling. I'm exhausted, overwhelmed, and just down right … [Read more...]

I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty buzzed right now, but in a friendly, overload of caffeine kind of way. You see, yesterday a new test product arrived at my house, the Keurig Platinum Brewing System. Awesome, right? You're probably wondering why I didn't tear the box open and get to drinking coffee all night.

Bad Days Happen

You've probably noticed that I've been on the quiet side today. Usually I have a couple of great topics to share but it has been a pretty bad day. I'm not really ready to share the details right now but with what happened earlier...I just can't bring myself to be very social today. In other news, our son not only once but twice left one of his toys behind the van and my husband backed over them. First it was his … [Read more...]

3 Minutes of my Life

I was going to save this for Flip'n Friday, but I just had to share the news along with a few random clips. The news...Emmaleigh has started smiling! I've been waiting for this moment and it just melts my heart to see her sweet little lips curl up. I caught a very brief and subtle smile on camera, hopefully she'll do them more frequently and I can share a great one with you. Along with that, this clip is 3 minutes of … [Read more...]
