Long over due, but I’m finally getting around to posting about July’s trip. My brother, Adam and his wife Deniz were married last month and had a lot of pre-wedding and post-wedding activities for everyone. Here are just the highlights… ——————— We stayed with my cousin and her family and enjoyed some rest and relaxation. [...]

What in the world, Ellie?! Such a troublemaker! This is one happy bridesmaid. Can’t wait for Erin’s wedding! So, [...]

Splish Splash Play Date
Walked over to a play date this afternoon with swim suits in hand (actually, in backpack!) You can have a great afternoon with some kiddie pools, water table, and friends. FYI – If you’re kiddo is going to do a lot of swimming this summer, I highly recommend getting a reusable swim diaper. We got [...]

I have Ellie’s 6mo birthday to thank for this miraculous weight loss. Not only am I burning calories by breastfeeding and taking walks with the stroller and hitting [...]

Self-improvement meets house-improvement

One drink a week, no regular soda, working out, dancing with the baby, walking more… all happening. We’re also eating home a [...]
Saturday Derailment and Guilt
Saturday night was a rough night. Had my friend watching Ellie so we could go out to a birthday dinner. I was excited to get out of the house with the hubby and see some friends we don’t see very much. I had myself all prepared with what I was going to order. I knew [...]

Operation Purple Dress
As if competing in the Iron Girl Triathlon in August isn’t motivation enough to workout, I have two weddings to attend this summer. My brother is getting married in July and I want to look GREAT in all the family pictures. AND, I’m matron of honor in my friends wedding in August. When my friend [...]
