Autumn’s First Easter Basket
I love the Easter baskets from Pottery Barn Kids and ordered one for Nathan for his first Easter. These baskets are not cheap at $52.63 for basket, basket liner, having your child’s name stitched on the liner, tax and shipping/handling. However, I plan to use these baskets for them every year, so the money is… >> View Post
Happy St. Pat’s Day!
I hope everyone is having a great St. Patrick’s Day! I am not Irish but Jeremi has some Irish in his blood so therefore Nathan and Autumn are part Irish. My mom bought these St. Patty hats at Walgreen’s and we had the darndest time of trying to get the kids to cooperate for a… >> View Post
Peke Moe
Two weekends ago I did not swaddle Autumn and she did not sleep as good as she does when being swaddled. She usually goes to sleep at 7:30-8pm and wakes up sometimes for a nightcap at 9:30pm (this seems to be less and less) and most nights she wakes at 3-4amish. Well, since she is… >> View Post
Roly Poly
Last week, my mom told me that Autumn had started to roll from her belly to her back. I couldn’t believe it because it had taken Nathan much longer to get there (he hated belly time). Sure enough, I saw her do it the next morning. I got some pictures of her in progress and… >> View Post
BUGS!!!!!! and Stinky Cheese Puppet Show
It was a nice sunny day here in St. Louis and Nathan found a lady bug colony in the mulch under our Tulip tree. There were hundreds of them!!! So of course we had to get his bug house out and he plucked some off the ground and put them in their new home (well,… >> View Post

I looked online and found out Carnival has some chocolate desserts that past cruisers love and Carnival has shared these recipes with them. And, get this, they are ALL chocolate desserts…. >> View Post
Autumn is a lucky girl today… she gets her first Prissy Miss Boutique bow!
On my favorite parenting website, there is a gal named Kaycee that makes bows for her business Prissy Miss Boutique. She has a girl named Cami that was born the same month as Nathan (May 2006). So, ever since she’s been making these bows, I have always thought they were beautiful and longed for a… >> View Post
Carnival Cruises House Party
YAYYYY! I won a House Party and it is the Carnival Cruises House Party. Houseparty.com is a website where you register for different parties for different products and they select certain people out of thousands of people that register. I looked and only NINE other people were chosen in St. Louis to do the Carnival… >> View Post
Footsies and Milk Storage
Autumn loves to bring her knees in against her chest and today I helped her grab onto some ‘goodies’ (her footsies!!!). She held onto them for quite some time before letting go. Oh, and yeah- that’s her swaddle blanket under her. She is just not ready to give up swaddling yet. I pump on one… >> View Post
Autumn’s Favorite Toy and First Rice Cereal
Autumn just loves blankets if she’s wrapped up in them or even if one is tucked around her. I decided to give her Nathan’s old bear blanket and she loves it! Nathan keeps snatching it away from her, though. I decided to start Autumn on rice cereal. She is less then a week away from… >> View Post
Children’s Garden Club in St. Louis
