So John and I had our first weekly “financial” meeting. This is something we agreed on last week when we set up our weekly budget and our budget calendar. We write the amount of money we have to spend on Sunday, then deduct as we go through the week and write what we spent money [...]
Hey guys! Remember this? Right before I had Camper I went all nesty and made a whiteboard monthly menu- even went so far as to print up magnetic meals to arrange on the calendar. Like whoa. I had TIME on my hands, huh? So I’m doing it again. My Mom and I planned out the [...]
Last night when John came home from work, Bubby and I played the piano together for about 20 minutes before he got bored. He watched my hands and looked at the page, and when I played a part he knew he’d chime in on the highest keys. He loves me to put his highchair right [...]
The thing is, she’s a woman! No really, I super dig Camper’s doctor. First of all, she’s a Mom herself. She’s managed to raise a couple of happy kids (I think they’re school-aged now) AND finish med school and that goes along with it. She’s knowledgeable and attentive and Camper loves her. She’s got an [...]
Once upon a time I met a new friend. She was awesome. (Still is…she just lives further away now.) I used to go to her house once a week or so for a playgroup, and it was always fun. Once while changing Camper in her kid’s room, I noticed a beautiful plush rug on the [...]
So it’s no secret that John and I have a child. One son. I have a son. (I heart saying this, so sorry for the repetition.) I pretty much dig him, enough that I stay home and stare at him all day long. Ok, so maybe I play with him [...]
I did some Bubby cooking today. I am MOST proud of my turkey meatballs! I made mini meatballs, just ground turkey mixed with egg and baby’s rice cereal (I know, right?!), and then boiled them in tomato sauce. I think they turned out really well, and I was excited to figure out a way to [...]
I love, love, love being a Mom. I really do feel fulfilled with my daily activities. It took me awhile to see the real worth of what I do every day, but once I understood, I no longer felt the need to work outside the home. (At this point in my life, anyway. I have [...]
Let me preface this post by saying I am a happy person. Today was a good day.
I have no idea why, but about 40 minutes ago or so, I just internally went INSANEO. I’m not yelling or slamming things, but seriously…if I were alone…I might be doing both.
We ended up getting a rug that I’ve [...]
I just put Camper in his crib for his after afternoon nap. He’s currently jabbering away to himself and hitting what I suppose to be his pacifier on the slats. The other day he flipped himself over while doing this, pinned one arm beneath him and trapped the other one in the crib slats, and [...]
