While you were out…

Just days after we officially moved into the new house, Chris jet-setted off to Ireland for his annual St. Patrick’s Day trip with work.  For those who don’t know, he is among a handful of radio personalities that represents Jameson Whiskey with a live broadcast from their distillery on St. Patty’s Day… in Ireland! Not…

Car Seat Confession

It’s really no secret that Walt is a pretty giant kid.  He was born large (8 lbs 6 oz), and is consistently in the 90+ percentile in height and weight.  Based on these facts, you’re probably thinking that the tall boy would surpass all the height and weight requirements of his baby carrier at a…

The Big Move

I’m so insanely behind on blogging I figured I needed to get this one out before I even thought about what to write next. We made a successful move from house A to house B in a matter of a weekend.  While I spent roughly three weeks packing house A, the last three days were…

Mr. Independent

Lately Walt has really been exercising his right of independence.  He’s always been a pretty awesome independent player. He’ll sit with his toys for what I think is a decent amount of time for a toddler before he comes looking for company or getting into something he shouldn’t.  It is also no secret that he’s…

A Day in the Life of a SAHM

Today I kept Walt at home with me because his school was closed.  It was a fun excuse to play hooky with my favorite little guy and spend a day as a stay-at-home mom (SAHM). I saw this term with nothing but pure adoration.  Like many women, I am torn between working and staying at…

Valentine’s Day

It was Walt’s second Valentine’s Day and he’s much more thoughtful this time around. Walt and I scrambled to put a Valentine together for Dad and it’s pretty evident. Here’s the end product: I keep seeing all these precious finger paint projects on Pinterest. I thought, what a cute (and cheap) way to say “I…

A Chicken Nugget Diet Does Good

Pulled some pics off my iPhone as of late and noticed a trend: my baby has an adorably cute tummy.  Of course I exaggerate when I say ALL Walt eats is chicken nuggets. But definitely a go-to staple for us are the bite-sized breaded cluckers that Walt eats at least four five six times a…

Confessions of a Super Mommy

Before you judge the title, let me explain.  I’m not describing myself as a super mommy. Trust me, if you could have overheard some conversations I’ve had with Chris over the past couple days, you’ll be well assured that I do NOT think I’m a super mommy. At times, I don’t even consider myself a…

The House that Built Us

As many of you know, Chris and I put our house on the market last week. Little did we know we’d have a contract on it in 48 hours!! Instead of talk about the buying/selling process, I thought I’d tell you guys a little bit about this house. I feel like so much can be…

Walt, the One Year Old

When we got Walt up this morning, we asked him if he felt older. Is it odd that I actually think he’s has shown some growing up in the past couple of days?!  I know I’ve been gushing over Walt the past several posts, but it was a whirlwind of “firsts” I felt I needed…
