Colors of the Rainbow
Idea from Spearmint Baby & Mom’s Crafty Space I can’t wait to make these sweet crayon holders for Jemma and her friends someday! Yes, that means you Miss Olivia and little Patton :)
3 Months
Another month has flown by – MONTH 3! Jemma has developed such a personality; she cracks us up all the time. Whether it be her sweet smiles, goofy looks or stinky toots we are falling in love with this girl each and every day. Miss J found her hands this month and is constantly chewing […]
Still lovin’ ’10
Ok, ok … I know it’s 2011, but I’m still feeling so reminiscent of last year. I mean, I HAD A BABY in 2010. Last year will be special in my heart forever. I absolutely adore being Jemma’s mama. Gosh darn, I cry at everything. Like now … just thinking about my little sweetness. God […]
Twenty Ten
Dominic and I have resolved to make the verbage switch to “twenty ten” and “twenty eleven” instead of the long winded “two thousand and ________”. Yep, we are all over significant resolutions. Now, on to the fun stuff … in the big ol’ TWENTY TEN we experienced more than we could have imagined. It has […]
Jemma’s First Christmas
On the brink of the New Year I guess it’s time to recap Christmas Day … I’m obviously the mama who is running a bit behind these days :) We had a lovely first Christmas with our sweet girl. There are almost too many pictures to post; too many adorable faces and outfits and all-in-all […]
All three of us are snuggled up on the couch ready to kick off the three day weekend. Jemma is sleeping, I’m reading blogs and Dominic is watching Supernanny, you know, because we’re taking notes on how to become super-parents. Moments ago Dominic looked at me and said, “Look how Jemma obeys me … I […]
Thankful
My original return to work date was yesterday, December 28th. For the longest time that day was equivalent to doom for me. How on earth could I leave my little girl for something so petty as work? The good news is, in early November I found out I was eligible for an additional 6 weeks […]
Merry Christmas Eve!
So much fun has been had in the last few days. Fun = many, many pictures and here are a few of my favorites so far … Darling Jemma getting her smile on while we were out shopping She zoomed right in on her reflection … I can hardly believe all the things she is […]
Not sure if you have a QFC by you, but their meat section has a teriyaki marinated flank steak that is DIVINE! If you recall, I used to hate beef. Like, I didn’t eat burgers. But, during pregnancy and now after I crave beef all the time. The QFC stuff is by far my absolute […]
Post-Baby Mama Must Haves
These are the products I’m loving these days … Baja Fresh has these huge cups with lids. I used mine all through labor (see above nightstand) and have continued to keep it full and by my side. Gotta stay hydrated while nursing! Finally discovered my favorite nursing bra … Bravado Bliss. Flannel […]
The Norm … Naps, Errands and the Cutest Girl in the World
Jemma and I alternate activities throughout the week – lazy day, busy day, lazy day, busy day – that’s the drill. This week was no different. Monday was the ultimate lazy day. We slept in, got dressed in loungewear and proceeded to do nothing of importance. We received our Chiquita Mom package, more on that […]
