New Addition

Thursday, June 27, 2013
It's been quiet on the blog since life has been so busy lately.

We welcomed a new little guy to our family.  He was born a couple weeks early but is an amazing, amazing guy! We are so in love.

 
 
Aaron did need a little time adjusting to this new life but he is now just head over heels for his little brother.
 
 
 
We feel so blessed and so lucky to have these two. Life is just too perfect right now! It just makes me want another one! ;)
 
 
 
He really is our little superhero!

Happy New Year

Tuesday, January 8, 2013
I have taken a much needed break from many Social Media channels over the last year and it was just what I needed! After a death in the family, that shook my family to the core, it was nice to unplug and devote my time and energy where it mattered. My family.

There have also been many blessing and joys over the past year and I miss documenting memories we have created, so I think I am ready to jump back into blogging.

I will start by sharing some happy new news


We are expecting baby #2! Aaron isn't too keen on the idea yet but I know once he meets his sibling, they will be inseparable! :)

Any-who, I'm back!

Pissed off one minute...

I just wish I would have known, how soon these start! He’s 17 month for goodness sakes!

He's still cute though! :)

Milestone: First Haircut

Thursday, October 6, 2011
The baby ain't a baby no more!

At 17 1/2 months old we took the bug for his first haircut! He did great, I didn't. He sat in the chair as if he was in spa getting a massage and I cried watching my boy go from baby to toddler!

It also looks as if he loves his new look, he loves to go look at himself in the mirror and is just being a little show off.

Here is a quick before shot:


and here is his after:


sniff sniff. My Big Boy!


Household Duties

Friday, September 30, 2011
How do you guys go about getting household duties done in your house?

Jason & I waited until we were married to live together, and I'd like to think that after 3.5 years we have a pretty good rhythm going. It's not perfect & sometimes we have to change it up but it’s working for us & we've been able to learn about each other's habits & needs when it comes to cleanliness in the home.

I thought I would give a snapshot on who does what & when; I thought the "when" would be helpful because it's coming from a household of 2 full time working parents.


HIS "CHORES"TIME OF DAYHER "CHORES"TIME OF DAY
Take out the trashDaily around 7pmCook MealsDaily  
Wash ClothesOnce a weekKitchenDaily - leave dishwasher machine running in the a.m.
Dishes (sometimes)Whenever I'm too tiredWash clothesWhen hubby's out of town
Quick Pick upDaily. Picking up toys, magazines etc…BaseboardMonthly
Make the BedDailyQuick Pick up Daily
VacuumA couple times a weekGoing through mail & random PapersMonthly
otherAnything I ask :)Vacuum A couple times a week


I put the word chores because I couldn't come up with a better term. I will say in the beginning of our marriage it did think of it as a chore because it wasn't fun (yes, I have the mentality of a 2 yr. old), but now I have changed my outlook and I like doing these things to make our home a HOME.

Yes, there are days when we're tired and we don't feel like doing anything but it helps that there are two of us, and I am lucky that my guy is so willing to help, maybe it's because he's the clean freak in the relationship but I am not complaining!

Would love to see to hear how other households work when it comes to maintaining a clean home, especially with full time working parents & children.
