I Need Your Advice: Baby Food

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

When Lydia was six months old, I started feeding her babyfood. We skipped the processed cereal and went straight to sweet potatoes. She ate every bite with minimal mess and loved it.
We went on the cruise and were moving when Asa was six months old, so I started a little later with him. His first [...]

Top Ten Tuesday: Rockin’ Baby Nursery

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

Remember how I had a baby? Yeah, it was like five months ago. And poor little guy doesn’t have one stick of a cute nursery. (Except for a fun pirate picture that bee sent him.) I know I said I picked out bedding for him. I even bought it. But after I got it in [...]

Top Ten Tuesday: Getting Your Baby To Sleep

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

Today’s first Top Ten Tuesday list is in honor of my sleepy pirate. Remember how he started sleeping 8 hours like in November? Well, last week he reneged on that deal. He started waking up three times PER NIGHT. I was a zombie. A zombie. A zombie. Seriously. A zombie.
One night I just decided I [...]

Things I Love: Frozen Dinners

Friday, November 21st, 2008

OK, well, maybe not those Salisbury steak ones with the mac and cheese that comes out of it’s little container in one big blob. But generally speaking, hot food that is ready when I’m hungry, I likey.
So, I was pretty excited when Happy Baby foods contacted me to try out some of their food. OK, [...]

Adventures in Bunny-wearing

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

So did you hear the uproar in the blogosphere and twitter-land about the Motrin babywearing ads? YIKES. I knew social media was a force. But this shows how big it is. And how loud (in a good way) moms can be.
Anyway, there are so many posts about it, I’m not even sure where to link [...]

What I’d Wear Wednesday

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

This soft velour outfit from Gymboree!
OK, maybe I wouldn’t wear it, but in a few months Asa will be wearing it because my sweet and wonderful bloggy friend, Damselfly just sent it to him! Don’t you love it?
Thank you, Damselfly! I can’t wait to snuggle him in this little outfit!
(And did you see what Damselfly [...]

I’m Giving Away Sleep!

Monday, October 27th, 2008

It’s been five weeks of my new little pirate. Five whole weeks of newborn diapers, sweet baby smiles, cuddly blankets, and tiny clothes. It’s also been five whole weeks of feedings every 3 hours, screaming fests and sleepless nights. As wonderful as a newborn is, it can also be the scariest most aggravating time of [...]

One Whole Month

Monday, October 20th, 2008

Asa is one month old today. It’s hard to believe. It’s been the longest month of my life. But it’s also flown by.  I wish I could write all the emotions and feelings that have been flooding my heart and my mind and my body this last month. They’ve been conflicting, that’s for sure.
I’ve been [...]
