Best customer?

You all know how much I love Tropical Sno, right?  I’ve made no bones about it.  Well, you haven’t seen many other reviews of area Tropical Sno stands because I’ve found my TS home, and it’s a consistent 10.  No need to review each visit.

Last weekend my sister Emily came over to our house [...]

We’re going to miss her

My friend Alisa is going to be moving over the next week or so.  She’s staying in Iowa, but it just won’t be the same here after she leaves.  We won’t be the same.

Did you know Alisa is a gifted photographer among other things?  She is. 

We like to go [...]

I’m so sad that my photographer isn’t here (Jude and Jett will be back tonight).  I had to do the photo above self-timer style.  You’re looking at the 3rd attempt and 3 was enough for me – I got most of my head and belly, so I called it good.

I had both of [...]

A bunch of nothing

No news yet!  Sorry, I like to get my posts published a little earlier than this – I hope none of you thought anything exciting happened that prevented me from posting earlier.

Here’s what’s been going on:

Josh worked last Saturday and my in-laws who are normally in town were vacationing.  I was home with [...]

Make your prediction

Each minute, hour, day that passes we get closer to holding our baby boy.  Cousin Sarah asked yesterday on Facebook if I was taking predictions as to the arrival of the baby.  I hadn’t even thought of doing it and I’m not quite sure why – it’s pretty much all I think about. :)  I [...]

Ready to ship

On the weekends, Josh and I take turns getting up with the kids and sleeping in.  It’s really a win-win because the person who gets up with the kids in the morning then gets some alone time during the day to take a nap.  So, if Josh gets up with the kids on Saturday, I [...]

My photographer

{The Birth stories post that first appeared Monday is still burning up!  Comments have kept coming in… make sure you check out the latest, and remember, it’s not too late to add your own story!}

As I mentioned yesterday, Jude loves taking pictures with my camera.  Lately, it’s been a Wednesday ritual for him to [...]

I’m still pregnant.  Yay!  And wahhhhhhhhh!  I have such mixed emotions.  This will be my last pregnancy, so I want to hold on to the experience.  This one has been so good the whole time.  At the same time, I’m ready to meet my new little man and do not want to experience [...]

Family pictures

First of all, sorry to those of you who’ve already seen this : my favorite new picture : on Facebook.  You’re going to see it again because it’s so… sultry.

Contact me if you need this in a poster size.  Rawr.

The above photo pretty much sums up the last 2 weeks.  Whenever Josh [...]

Birth stories

Guess what?  I’m in the mood to give birth. The sooner the better.  I’ve been imagining what this upcoming birth experience will be like, but obviously I’m never going to know until it happens.  I hope it’s not traumatic.  I hope it’s not too painful.  I hope it goes quickly.

I want to invite ALL [...]
