Pumpkin Patch
October 19, 2011"Last weekend, my Mom and I took K and Bink to a pumpkin patch. It is the same pumpkin patch that we took Bink to last year. In the moment, he just looked like my Bink to me. But then I got home and looked at last year's pictures from the same trip. Who is [...]"
Perfectly Imperfect
September 30, 2011"I have a confession to make: my handsome, little son is a morning person. Like a leap from his bed, greet the day with a smile on his face, ready for anything type of morning person. Usually right around 4:30 or 5 am. As you might have guessed, I am...not. I tolerate mornings out of [...]"

Big Boy Bink
July 26, 2011"It has been MONTHS in the making, but Bink's big boy room is finally finished! We made the transition Saturday night and (knock on wood) it has been great. Unfortunately, with the small-ish size of the room and the (Lightening McQueen) red walls, I have yet to be able to get a good picture in [...]"
He Just Keeps Growing
June 28, 2011"Funny thing about Bink...he just keeps growing. Every time I get settled into a stage or think I know what to expect, he changes the game. I love it and hate it all at once. Here's what Bink's been up to lately: Talking. Nonstop. About anything he can find the words (or gibberish sounds for). [...]"
What a Difference a Day Makes
June 17, 2011"Two weeks ago I was at my wit's end. Every morning when I would drop Bink off at daycare, he would have a complete and total meltdown. Tears. Tantrums. "Mama Mama Mama!'s" He would try to climb my legs. He'd try to hide in my skirt. He didn't want to leave daycare--he just wanted me [...]"
The Graduate
June 09, 2011"K is "graduating" from fifth grade tomorrow. There is a ceremony and picnic and the whole shebang. We are so close to summer, and finally being done with elementary school, I can barely stand it! To celebrate, we did a mini photoshoot down at the beach in our neighborhood one night last week. It was [...]"

Bink Language
September 13, 2010"In the past few weeks, Bink's language skills have just exploded. All of a sudden he can (kind of) ask for what he wants. He can name things. He repeats just about anything he hears. So far he's learned: Mommy (maaaa-ma) Daddy (dad-da) Sissy (cee-cee) EJ (gee-jah) Doggie (dog-dog or do-do) Bottle (ba-ba...in a very [...]"
Weaning–Kind Of
June 29, 2010"Remember a few months ago when all I could talk about is how once Bink was a year old I could stop breastfeeding? That I could reclaim my boobs? That I wouldn't have to suffer through the hell pumping three times a day every week day for forever and ever and so on? Well, we [...]"

Rock Star First Birthday Theme
June 11, 2010"As you've heard me mention many, many, many, many times now...Bink had a birthday last week. Oh, you didn't know? Well, let me tell you...blah, blah, blah. I'm sorry, I swear. Only a few more posts to go before I move past the birthday-palooza. Since I love themed parties, I'd been planning all the little [...]"
