The Confessions Of A Stay At Home Mom
One of the important things on my Baby Bucket List was to set aside some quality alone time with each of my boys, so we could bond before baby arrives. When Adam and I were invited to spend a few days in Destin, Florida, at the Sandestin Beach Hilton this past weekend with some other blogging mamas, I figured this would be our special time. Three days of fun in the sun, could there be anything … [Read more...]
Oh, Adam. Lately he has been all sorts of cute. He is learning so much and I couldn't be more proud of him. Because blogging is kind of like my baby book, I wanted to post some of the cuuute things he has been saying so I don't forget them. Everything ends with "pie". Example: "Mommy you a silly kid pie" "Lucas is a sleepy head pie" "Adam is a funny pie" He also uses his cute to … [Read more...]
Bag it Forward, sponsored by Elmer’s, helps children get supplies for school this fall when they wouldn’t be able to afford it otherwise. This summer, Elmer’s is teaming up with bloggers that are gathering school supplies to donate to children, schools and teachers. I was so excited to be a part of such an awesome program. My aunt happens to be an elementary school teacher at a city … [Read more...]
This is my first year experiencing the craze that is the back to school season. Adam starts school (well, pre-school) this month and I am frantically running around like a chicken without a head trying to prepare for BlogHer while getting everything prepared for school. Including myself. School is starting very soon and I don't feel ready. I'm ready for the nice break but I still haven't come to … [Read more...]
I was dead set against letting my kids have pets until they were old enough to take care of them because 1) I'm not really an animal person and 2) I totally don't have time for nor do I want to have another thing to clean up after. After much persuasion, DH has been begging for weeks, I caved and we decided to get Adam a pet! A really cool, blue beta fish. I love it because it's really low … [Read more...]

I told you guys a couple of weeks ago that I was starting a garden. I have never had my own garden before, so I was completely clueless as to what I needed to do, how to do it and what supplies I needed. I took a trip to The Home Depot and the garden section guy was amazingly helpful and got everything I needed to start my very first garden! I had NO idea what I was in for.... It was so much … [Read more...]
Every year, I look into signing Adam up for a sport or a camp, something that will keep him active during the summer. Every year he is too young. But finally, he has reached the magic age for soccer this summer! He is really excited to play, he is going to be on a team with his best friend, and DH is excited to watch and practice with him. I know Adam is going to really enjoy playing … [Read more...]

Funrise Toys has been around for many years and they carry many fabulous toys such as Gazillion Bubbles and Tonka. With a little boy who is very, very into cars and trucks, Tonka toys are definitely no stranger in this house. I was excited when Funrise Toys asked me to review their Tonka Strong Arm Series, because I knew it would be perfect for Adam and he would love it. They sent us the … [Read more...]
With the holiday season in full swing, people are dragging out the Christmas tree (or buying/chopping one down!) and decorating the house, and taking 540954 photos in hopes of getting the *perfect* one for the holiday cards. Well, at least my family is!I love this time of year! I have been itching to put our tree up for weeks now, but DH made me wait until Thanksgiving was over, now it is, and I … [Read more...]
A few months ago I came across a fabulous children's clothing site and have been addicted ever since. Tea Collection is my favorite place to shop for highly fashionable, designer clothes for my boys.Lucas received the Toma Daily Tea Set and Adam received the Moto Jacket to review. Right from the beginning, I was highly impressed with the quality of the clothes. I have washed them several times and … [Read more...]

I have teamed up with Safety 1st again, this time Adam got a new car seat!We were sent the Complete Air 65 convertible seat and DH thought "oh he is going to hate this seat" because Adam likes to look at the window when in the car and he thought the air protect padding things would … [Read more...]

Cheese ravioli. need I say more?!}{Belgium waffle from (of … [Read more...]
I am trying to make it a good day for us while daddy is working so after naptime it was all about playtime! The boys had so much fun. I love seeing their smiling faces... I haven't sat and played with them in so long. It was nice. I am going to kick PPD in the throat for them. Love my boys ♥ … [Read more...]
****CLOSED****I love love love to bake. It's one of my most favorite things to do. I have always wanted to be a cake decorator and make fabulous goodies and beautiful, elaborate cakes. I would look at magazines and just marvel over the gorgeous wedding cakes and amazing 3D baby shower cakes. I'd wish I had talent to make something like that! For some time now, I have wanted to go to a Wilton cake … [Read more...]
