Today was Breanne’s birthday.  I can’t believe my baby is three!  Because we’ve been partying so much the last couple of days, today we were able to just stay at home and enjoy each other’s company as a family, which was so nice.  We started the day by opening presents, then ate a birthday breakfast [...]

Why yes, in case you’re wondering, that was me on the front page of the Daily Herald this morning.  Oh, and yes, it does make me look fat… even though I’m officially the smallest and most fit I’ve been since before I had Breanne.  But such is life.  :)

After a crazy busy weekend, I am [...]

Crocuses in our front yard… need I say more? I am so excited!

Sorry I’m not so great at holding the camera steady… but I love the video, so I thought I’d share.

So a couple weeks ago, we got our tax return back. Hooray for tax returns… especially since this may be the last year we get one for a while (but that’s a different story). At any rate, we were able to pay off some debts we had, and actually have a little money [...]

Trying to get every last [...]

I can’t believe my baby is one.  I know most of you have heard me say this, but seriously–Breanne just seemed so OLD when she turned one–so ready for a forward facing carseat, so ready for oranges and milk… so ready to be a one-year-old.  With Janey, I do not feel this way.  This last [...]

Ok, so I can’t find a way to steal a video off of my sis-in-law Katie’s site, but I really wanted you to see this.  It’s the last video on this post (the others are of my cute niece Claire, and my siblings-in-law).  

A little background–Breanne will tell you that her favorite song is the [...]

I’ve been meaning to do this post for a while now.  A couple of months ago, I got sick of buying wipes.  I loved the Target brand wipes for both their price, and their quality, but the drive to Target was just too much to justify, just for a box of wipes.  Especially since I [...]
