Baby Bins, Toddler Totes, Kiddie Kits…LIFE SAVERS!

December 13, 2010

I thought since I had this genius idea to create baby bins, I’d share my genius with you.  If you’re reading this and thinking, “duh, LCW I totally do this already, you’re NOT a genius”,  just flatter me, ok?  For those who don’t know me well or just started reading, I am not a SAHM,  [...]

Santa’s Workshop.

December 10, 2010

I found myself sitting and staring among the mess in my guest room last night.  I needed to wrap, pack and ship out a handful of gifts.  I designated “Santa” paper, girl gift paper and boy gift paper.  I had a system going amidst the piles and chaos of gifts, wrapping supplies and shipping boxes.  [...]

Undecking the halls.

December 7, 2010

Last year we didn’t have a Christmas at home.  We were in the midst of moving and traveling.  I put up a small 12″ tree and called it Christmas.  Ryann didn’t know or care what day it was, just as long as I was with her.  We were celebrating the fact JPW and I would [...]

Traditions.

November 24, 2010

I grew up in a small family. The holidays were always at our house. In fact, my parents still host all the holidays.  With one brother,  two grandmothers alive and well, one uncle and a dad (an only child) there wasn’t any reason to go anywhere. Both sides of the family get along splendidly.  So [...]

Meet the Flinstones

November 1, 2010

We’re the *modern stone age family.  This year we hosted a Halloween costume party.  And it turned out to be way better than I ever expected.  The food was a hit, the drinks were flowing and the babies were well behaved and handled trick or treating like champs!  For the treats I served a seven [...]

Fall fun.

October 26, 2010

This past weekend we loaded up the diaper bag with snacks and cash and headed to a local church to partake in their Fall Festival.  It was a 5 minute drive from the house, so if it sucked, we weren’t committed to hours in the car.  But suck, it did not.  It was a fantastic [...]

Not HOME yet.

October 10, 2010

When we moved into this house in January 2010, we did it by ourselves with an almost 4 month old.  To say it was one of the most difficult tasks would be an understatement, but certainly after living apart for nearly a year, moving to finally be together was worth the challenge.   JPW and I [...]

Just stroll.

October 2, 2010

I walked up to our landlords house yesterday to drop off the rental check.  JPW had the car and it was a gorgeous afternoon.  I plopped Ryann in the stroller, handed her a sippy cup of water and off we went with the tunes from my iPhone serenading us along the way.  I pointed out [...]

More than a 1st Birthday.

September 16, 2010

This post is two fold.  You see, Ryann’s Birthday turned into so much more than a 1st birthday party.  It’s also a story of friendship and the bond that you have with old (and new) friends.  The magical bond that babies have in bringing people together,  reconnecting friends and creating new relationships. I canceled Ryann’s [...]

The American Dream

August 23, 2010

What’s your definition of the American Dream? Is it home ownership?  Is it living debt free?  Is it calling a suitable house, home, whether rented or purchased?  Does the American Dream exist anymore? I want a yard for our kids to run around in and a huge swing set for them to climb on and [...]
