TJ found his Easter basket from last year and decided to pretend that it was the hottest accessory on the market. My husband grabbed the camera for some fun shots. Its times like these that I miss being so far away from my family. I love that they can still see how beautiful TJ is through pictures (as you can imagine I have sent some large file transfer emails to my parents) and by visiting … [Read more...]

My husband and I have been doing a lot of work on our house. The ice-storm caused some damage outside and we have been in a frantic rush to finish painting the interior before TJ's birthday later this month. My parents are flying in and staying with us and this is about the only time we have people over at our house because it is just so small. We have outgrown this little house. I am in … [Read more...]
When we found out that we were having a boy, I thought my husband and I would have to go through marriage counseling after trying to decided on a boy name. It was a difficult decision to name someone. We didn't want the name to be too cutesy because he would have to live with it for the rest of his life. We also wanted the name to be classic but not a name that we hear all the time. And … [Read more...]
TJ has a security lovey, Froggy. Froggy goes with TJ wherever he goes. We realized the other day that with all the comfort comes a price. My husband picked up TJ from daycare and didn't realize that he brought Froggy with him (he doesn't always bring him to school) and left him in his cubby. Well, that night TJ didn't sleep very well and he woke up several times in the night crying for … [Read more...]

Some of my favorite bloggers have been participating in a vlogging project about the different ways different people talk from around the country. I am originally from Idaho and moved here about 12 years ago. I don't think I have an accent, but when I first moved here several people asked where I was from, which I thought was humorous. I love hearing the different ways we pronounce things and … [Read more...]
I love talking and writing about my son. He is the light of my life and I hate that he is growing up so fast. He is the most lovable little guy and we have been so spoiled with how "easy" of a baby he has been. However, readers of my blog know that we have been struggling with him and food. I have no idea why TJ doesn't like food. I love food, his daddy loves food, and his doggie … [Read more...]
Disney really does make dreams come true... dreams I didn't know I was even allowed to dream. I have tried to start this post over and over again for the past few days since I have gotten back home from LA. I keep having to stop to really think through my amazing weekend and pinch myself to be sure it was real. It was real, and a huge thanks goes out to Marshall and Dustin and the entire … [Read more...]
Here I am in Hollywood for a once in a lifetime opportunity to be a part of the Red Carpet Premiere of Gnomeo and Juliet. The view from my hotel window is amazing. The Hollywood sign is right in front of me. My brother's college (The Musician's Institute) is across the street. Hollywood Blvd is right around the corner. I am eating room service and I have access to a mini-bar. While all … [Read more...]
