Bottle Warming: From MUCH experience, we finally discovered that the best thing for bottle warming on the go is actually a thermos full of boiling water (obtained from obliging coffee machines) added to a cool bottle to warm it up just a bit.  When it’s new, 2 oz. hot to 3 oz. cold seemed to [...]

My brother just locked me in the basement laundry room and made me cry.
John said, “Why didn’t you just turn the light back on?”
Me: I couldn’t find it.
John: How long were you in there?
Me: Just a second. I started to cry and he opened the door.
John: Do you want me to go down there [...]

Anonymous 1: Yeah, I always ask him to tell me when I get that hair on my chin.
Anonymous 2: I have to say…there’s no good way to tell her that.
Anonymous 1: What if it were something ridiculous, like, “The zebra’s out of the pen!”?
Anonymous 2: Or, “The chickens are loose on the Arizona highway!”
Anonymous 1: [...]

My baby is sleeping peacefully in his crib after getting cuddled to sleep by Grammy Lee and then by Daddy.  My husband is busy baking chocolate chip peppermint cookies.  We have our own bedding and towels unpacked and pictures on the walls and almost all of the boxes of stuff are unpacked.  We still have [...]

Friday- Left Provo, accompanied by The All American Rejects “Gives You Hell.”  Camper slept all day, was up during the evening, slept all night in a beautiful hotel (in bed with Mommy and Daddy) with a morning breakfast buffet consisting of many wonderful sausages and yummy eggs.  And good juice.  And lots of skiers.  Sleeping [...]

Day 3?  Have we really been driving for three days already?  I’m loving visiting with my Auntie, Camper is still dream baby traveller.  I’m getting really excited for the end of the road, not unpacking that truck though.  Yuck.  And also…it is VERY cold outside.  Like 1 degree.  Windchill -1384.
I am also turning into my [...]

I don’t know what that title means.  Anyway.  We’re sleeping in Kansas tonight- so far this trip has been really good.  I love catching up with my Auntie who is helping me drive with Camper in our “Bubaro” as I’ve started calling it.  We had a treacherous morning in which I drive like a mad [...]

That’s all I have to say.  This is hard.  Packing my whole house is hard.  Doing it with a 3 month old is hard.  Trying to organize my brother’s life at the same time is hard.  I just can’t wait to get to New England.  Thank goodness for sane Aunties who fly across the country [...]
