I’m addicting to ORGANIZING!

by Jennie January 18, 2012

organize

If anyone knows me, they know I am a little fanatic about organizing things. Although it drives me crazy how much I sometimes freak about things being unorganized in the house, I really do feel like the home, my family and myself run so much more smoothly when things are organized. When things have a […]

Becoming Unplugged Day 1

by Jennie January 16, 2012

my boys

I have been talking about my many New Year’s Resolutions (too many to count!) and one of them included wanting to be “unplugged for a day a week“. Last week was my first try and I have to say it was an AMAZING day! I felt like a junkie in the morning because I knew […]

First Day of Being Unplugged

by Jennie January 12, 2012

the family

So I talked last week about my New Year’s Resolutions and as 2011 has unfolded, I realized I kept adding to my list! So now, here I am, (keep in mind with a goal of trying to scale back) stressed out because I feel I am not scaling back enough! Maybe I made too many […]

It Doesn’t Matter if Mama is Sick….

by Jennie January 10, 2012

sick and nursing

 Yes, that’s right! Mama may have a double ear ache, sore jaws, a throat that feels like razor blades when I swallow, headache, weak all over, fever… all of which = STREP THROAT…..BUT the kid still has to eat! We may be sick and yet we still don’t truly get to rest! Luckily, the hubs has […]

The Changing Colors of Amos Children’s Book

by Jennie January 6, 2012

changing colors of amos

We are ALWAYS looking for great children’s books to add to our collection. Personally, I get so bored reading the same ones over and over (of course they all have their favorites)!  Cody loves when we get new books to read together. Who would have thought that sometimes books are even more exciting for kids […]

Looking Back at 2011

by Jennie January 2, 2012

Happy New Year!

As I look back on 2011 I realize how much I have to be thankful for. Cody turned 2, we got prego with little baby Grayson (naturally, which was a great surprise considering we had to do IVF with Cody), we were able to FINALLY sell our house and we moved into a new home […]

Juice Cubes

by Jennie December 29, 2011

shape molds

We still don’t do a lot of juice because Cody eats a TON of fruit and doesn’t need anything extra. If I do give him juice I put a splash of it in his water. The main thing he drinks is water and milk and that can get a little boring so I decided to […]

Clean Up Those Toys

by Jennie December 27, 2011

clean up

I feel like I am always saying “it’s time to clean up those toys”!  I feel really strongly about teaching my kids that it is important to clean up after themselves and although I can’t expect Cody to clean like I would, I can expect him to put his toys away after he uses them. […]

Another Reason to Use a Nanny Referral Agency (very scary article!)

by Jennie December 22, 2011

nanny referral

I talked about how I went through an agency to hire my cuddler (which I only used one night because Grayson proved to be a much better sleeper than Cody!). Yes, I could have went through an online site and done the background check myself, but after doing a lot of investigation, I realized using […]
