Instagram Update
February 20, 2012"At my 37 week OB appointment last Thursday I thought I finally had it all figured out. My appointment was for 9:45 am, which meant she obviously wouldn't see me until at least 11 am. I decided I'd be super productive and put together a blog post on my phone. I go to work putting [...]"
Project 365
February 17, 2012"As one of my more ambitious goals for 2011, I decided to take part in Project 365--a photo a day, every day, in 2011. It was way more challenging than it sounds and I can't tell you how many times I was scrambling to take picture at 10 pm so I didn't miss a day. [...]"
Preschool Problems
February 09, 2012"I came to an interesting realization last week as I started checking out preschools for Bink...I'd clearly already ruined his chances of getting in to college. Before starting my search, I mentally patted myself on the bat. It was only February. I was so on top of things to get this done before the new [...]"
Teaching a Toddler About a New Baby
February 07, 2012"Hubby and I have been trying for the past few months to prepare Bink for the impending arrival of his new little brother. As you can imagine with a two-year-old, that's mostly been falling on deaf ears. Then about a month ago, Bink has suddenly become all about Grayson. I think it started when he [...]"
Instagram Wednesday
February 01, 2012"Last Wednesday Bink stayed home sick from daycare. We spent the entire day in bed, which is how I knew he really didn't feel very good. I don't think Bink has stayed in one place so long since before he learned to crawl. We watched Toy Story 3 FOUR TIMES IN A ROW. And he [...]"
Our Week Through Instagram
January 25, 2012"Bink is sick in bed today with a nasty cold. So that means I am also snuggled up in bed, pumping him full of orange juice and watching Toy Story 3 on repeat. And attempting my first blog post from my iPhone. Here goes... Apparently, according to my photo stream, about all Bink does is [...]"
Easy Homemade Valentine’s
January 20, 2012"Last year I saw the cutest idea for Valentine's Day cards. Unfortunately, at the time, Bink was at a daycare with one other child and K was too old to pass out Valentines in school. This year, mostly because of Pinterest, I started seeing ideas for Valentine's Day way earlier than I would have ever [...]"
Our Week Through Instagram
January 18, 2012"I wrote a post last week that illustrated our week through Instagram and I kind of loved it. It was fun to go back through my phone pictures to see what I'd snapped, especially since it is what I grab to get a quick shot of Bink when I know I don't have time to [...]"
Goals for 2012
January 16, 2012"I've been thinking a lot about my goals for this year. I made the mistake last year of trying to accomplish way to many things. This year, especially with a new baby on the way, I think my real goal may just be making it through the day. I decided to pick out way more, [...]"
Our Weekend Through Instagram
January 11, 2012"My big gift from Hubby for Christmas this year was an iPhone4S. For the past year I had a Droid X, and while I loved having a smartphone, I hated just about EVERYTHING about the Droid. It was buggy, didn't have as many apps, and just generally awful. While there is a rather huge list [...]"
Goals
January 04, 2012"This time last year, I set 52 pretty lofty goals to accomplish during 2011. They seemed pretty achievable at the time What I did manage to accomplish (or at least got pretty close): Photography Goals 6. Take a picture every day (Project 365)--almost. I did really well, only missing a few days up until December. [...]"
Top 11 of 2011
December 31, 2011"First...Happy New Year's Eve! Hopefully you all have big exciting plans. Hubby and I are getting Outback takeout, watching a movie, and snuggling on the couch. We'll see if I make it anywhere near midnight. To wrap up 2011, I decided to take part in the Top 11 of 2011 link up. Here are my [...]"
Merry Christmas!
December 24, 2011"This Christmas Eve we'll be decorating cookies, building faux Gingerbread houses, and watching Christmas movies (until the TV gets commandeered for the Baltimore Ravens game). Next week, I'm off work, the kids are out of school and daycare, and I'm betting I won't see much of my beloved laptop. If all goes according to plan, [...]"
Santa, Baby!
December 20, 2011"For Bink's first Christmas we took him to see Santa and he loved it. He dressed up, was all happy smiles and coos, and we even ended up with our holiday card picture for that year. Last year, Bink was... less enthusiastic. He was tired of waiting in line, unhappy to have his picture taken, [...]"
Apologies and And An Easy Gift Idea
December 06, 2011"First, my apologies for being MIA for so long. The few weeks/months, but especially the past week, have been...hard. Middle school transition issues. Starting the third trimester of pregnancy. Hubby both working and taking classes full time (and finals week this week!). Mostly I'm just...exhausted. Mentally. Physically. Emotionally. Drained. And I have a nasty chest [...]"
