I'm embracing my crockpot. I was asked to post the recipes I'm making this week for dinner. All of the recipes are from Crockpot365...the best blog ever! A woman decided to use her crockpot everyday for a year and posted all of the recipes she used and reviewed them. Whenever I get bored I'll sit there and browse through her blog. Here are the ( Read more... )

My Ergo came today!! I LOVE it! It fits great with plenty of slack still left over. I tried it out with Daphne first since she was awake and she seemed to like it. I got her into a front hold easy peasy and into a back hold after two tries. I tried Colton out too after he woke up from his nap. Front hold and back hold were a snap with him... ( Read more... )

My mom just bought the kids this bookcase as an early Valentine's day gift! I'm so psyched! We've been wanting a bookshelf for the living room for a few months now, but I just hadn't found one I liked. This one is super cute, but we couldn't afford the $155 price tag. Right now it's on sale for $98 on Amazon and my mom had a $20 gift certificate. ( Read more... )

I just made my 3rd photo book for the kids! So far I've done a book of my pregnancy and the kids' birth, a book of the first 3 months, and now just completed a 3-6 months book. There's an awesome code for Snapfish out right now. Order an 8x11 Classic photo book, use the code SOAPBOOK, and only pay the $6.99 shipping. The book is free! I actually ( Read more... )

Happy New Year everyone! I took the kids out tonight to moomily's house for a New Year's Eve party. The plan was to have all the babies sleep together...but apparently I forgot to clue Colton and Daphne in on that plan. Mr. Abe slept like a rock and Colton and Daphne just had a difficult time getting settled. They've done good sleeping at other peoples' ( Read more... )

I just completed another photobook! So I now have my pregnancy and the kids' birth documented as well as their first 3 months of life. I kept the pregnancy album happy. I didn't feel the need to write about all the doom and gloom of my pregnancy. Jay and I know what happened. We'll tell Colton and Daphne later on, but for now I just want happy ( Read more... )

I sent in a picture of Colton and Daphne to our local CBS station WBZtv.com and it got featured on both their website and on the morning news! The news was running non-stop all morning doing Blizzard 2010 coverage and they showed the kids! I'm hoping to find a clip of the footage online somewhere. I found the picture on the website, but I want to ( Read more... )

Christmas was wonderful.Colton and Daphne were definitely spoiled by my parents and by my brother and sister. My parents were able to come in from North Carolina and my brother and his wife came in from Delaware. Jay and I spent Christmas morning with the kids, then my parents came at lunch time, and my brother at dinner time. I refused to cook ( Read more... )
