Of course, I was FAMISHED after keeping tabs on two kiddos at the Magic House, so after Nathan and I had lunch(Autumn was napping), we worked on a fun treat! A mini caramel apple treat that I had seen in an old Family Fun magazine. First… I had to melt the caramel, and UHH. WHY… >> View Post

Rainy, rainy, and let me say RAINY day… spent at the Magic House!
Today I was off of work so I decided to pile the kids into the car so that I could take them to the Magic House. I have had a free pass for Nathan from his Library Reading Program, and Autumn is free until she turns 1… so, we just had to pay for ME!… >> View Post

Lone Elk park
Most Saturdays I drive about 15 minutes out of the way so that I can get my MUST NEEDED weekly groceries at Trader Joe’s. Well, of course, on the way there… THIS happened. (Yes, I know I need to wash the straps on his carseat. UGH!) So, Autumn and I ventured into Trader Joe’s alone… >> View Post

Nathan and Autumn’s First Trunk or Treat
A friend of mine that I went to high school with invited us to the Trunk or Treat at their church. Our church is having theirs the night before Halloween, and I thought it’d be overkill to have Nathan trick or treat two nights in a row. Therefore, we decided to check out the one… >> View Post
Autumn is 11 months yesterday!
I cannot believe it is only 1 month until Autumn turns 1 and my last baby will not be a baby anymore. Sniff, sniff! Autumn started to say “Mom, Mom” this week, and I must say, I am thrilled that she is saying my name! She also says “Da-da”, “Ba-ba-gurl”, “Buh-bye” and “Kittah-cah” (kitty-cat). Autumn… >> View Post
Thomas Day Out
I have been wanting to take Nathan to Thomas Day Out since last year when it came to East St. Louis. Well, I was 9 months pregnant then, and since November is SO cold and miserable, we decided to pass. Well, I was so excited that I booked tickets right away when I found out… >> View Post

Ghosts visit our home
I put my fall decorations out, but I was missing something important- GHOSTS! Nathan loves ghosts and I went to Target and picked up some ‘trash bag ghosts’ or at least that is what it said on the outside of the bag. Although, I think next year I will buy bigger ghosts because from the… >> View Post

Jack O Lantern Ornaments
Since Nathan has been born I have collected some Halloween ornaments, and I decided to buy the creepy Pottery Barn tree to hang them on. Of course, I bought the tree AFTER Halloween for more then 50% off, and it is the perfect size and has lots of room for more ornaments. I subscribe to… >> View Post
