Thank You Mom

May 11, 2013 Leave a Comment

I’ve sat here for an hour now trying to think of a way to express how much my mom means to me. I’ve written paragraphs and then deleted them because they’re just not good enough to express my love for her. Sometimes I’m a better list-maker than a writer, probably because of all those extra [...]

Thankful Thursday

March 7, 2013 14 Comments

Good morning! Has this week flown by for you like it has me? Before children, it felt like forever to get to the end of a work week. After children, I swear I just blink and the week is over. Maybe it’s just because I want to pause my life right now and savor every [...]

The only chair you’ll need for your children: Stokke Tripp Trapp®

March 5, 2013 13 Comments

Before I had children, I never realized how quickly your home is taken over by children’s gear: toys, clothing and furniture. Not all of it is a necessity but some things are: a crib (well, that’s even up for debate with co-sleeping) and a high-chair when the baby starts eating solids. When I was pregnant [...]

Thankful Thursday

I’m *slightly* ahead of the game and am writing this week’s Thankful Thursday post at 10:30pm on Wednesday night. I would feel really good about not having to scramble in the morning to get my post up if my kids weren’t running around the living room like it was 10 am. This is going to hurt [...]

What a Treat! Harvard Sweet Boutique

February 24, 2013 9 Comments

It’s always fun when UPS comes to your door with something unexpected but it’s really a treat when you get a package from Harvard Sweet Boutique. My UPS driver came on the perfect day too: one when I was craving sweets but had nothing in the house besides my kids’ fruit snacks (which would never [...]

Making Dad’s Birthday Special: for $10 or less

February 6, 2013 12 Comments

Birthdays are a big deal in my husband’s family. Everyone calls with birthday wishes and Happy Birthday is sung before the Polish song, Sto lat. I love that they have so many traditions that make every birthday special and I would like to have some of our own traditions. We started one for my husband’s [...]

Thankful Thursday

Happy Thursday! This week I am celebrating my 8th year in Rhode Island. It seems like yesterday that I left palm trees and sun to step off the plane in a winter wonderland. I’ll have to write about my journey to life in New England another day, because today is dedicated to gratitude. I’m grateful [...]

One of my New Year’s resolutions for 2013 is to be more organized. If you follow me on Pinterest, you’ve probably noticed all of the organization pins I have been pinning away. My favorite pin thus far is the one from the blog A Bowl Full of Lemons: “Home Organization 101″ program- 14 weeks to [...]

Meal Planning Board- Pinterest Success!

January 21, 2013 9 Comments

Pinterest is simultaneously so amazing and so awful. It’s amazing because you get motivated to clean and organize your home, life, EVERYTHING! However, it’s awful because you spend the entire hour both kids are napping sitting on the couch looking at Pinterest- meanwhile the dishes aren’t washing themselves nor is the laundry folding itself. The [...]

Santa is Coming to My House {review & giveaway}

December 6, 2012 10 Comments

One of my most recent pins from Pinterest is one that lists 25 Children’s Books for Advent. The idea is that you wrap 25 children’s holiday books (they can be ones you already own) and each night your kids get to open a holiday book and the family can read it together. I don’t think [...]
