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.
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.
