My sweet sweet girl,
You are three years old today. I’m not going to say it’s bittersweet. It’s not really. I love you more and more every day so to see you turn three is just a celebration of how much my love has grown for you.

Happy Panda is hosting a giant Baby Shower for Janice and Susan at 5m4m. They are twin sisters who are were pregnant at the same time. Little Olivia was born this week and Sophia is due very soon! So, to join in the fun (and gifts!) of the shower, I’m going to share a little [...]

Slippers with boa feathers.
Ballerina tutu.

We went to the zoo yesterday! Les has been gone so much lately that with this 3 day weekend, we decided to do something fun. Lydia is so into animals right now, we’d knew she’d love the zoo. Plus, Mei Lan, the baby panda turns 1 this week! And since pandas are my special animal, [...]
Playdates. Before I was a mama, I thought this was the most ridiculous made up term in the world. It sounded like something on the front of a chick-lit book. Playdate. What is that about? Your kids have dates to play? What are they celebrities with an agent?
But now I understand. Playdates. It’s a DATE [...]

Last night I put Lydia to bed 40 minutes early. She slept for over 14 hours! When she woke up she wanted to drink her milk while laying in my lap in the rocker for another 30 minutes! Now she’s happily eating waffles in her high chair–smiling and talking the whole time.

At the end of our wedding, we did a receiving line. We lined up outside the church doors and let everyone walk by us and shake our hand. One man from my church, who had like 8 kids shook my hand and said, “I’m giving you the fertility handshake.” And I said, “Oh no you [...]
I know, if you don’t have kids, that title is a turn off. But today was the day of, “OHMYGOSH, I have a toddler!” I think Lydia got about 30 spankings. (I spank her hand or thigh. I’m sorry if you don’t do spankings. But we do.) She was consistently whiny, rebellious, unsatisfied and selfish [...]
My hubby has been traveling a lot lately. This week he was gone 2 nights. Granted one of those nights he left at 10pm, but still, I slept alone!
Anyway, I’ve discovered I act a little differently when I know he’s not going to be home. For one, I’m messier. I try and I try to [...]
