There are some mothers that read my blog that have a child around Autumn’s age, so I wanted to take the time to review some of Autumn’s birthday gifts. Since it was 68 degrees outside today (seriously, where is the cold weather?), we decided to take Autumn’s new ‘pink’ car for a test drive. Uncle… >> View Post

Autumn’s first ER visit
See this lovely cracked spoon from Target’s dollar spot? Well… I will never forget the first time we took Nathan to the ER, and I doubt I will ever forget taking Autumn to the ER today. Autumn had just woken from her nap, and I had her strapped in her high chair while I was… >> View Post
My Thankfuls and Thanksgiving at Jeff and Tracy’s
Happy Thanksgiving (one day late)! This year I am thankful for… A loving husband that gives great back massages and that always makes sure that we have milk in the fridge for my chocolate milk addition Two healthy and loving kids… they may empty my energy level each day, but they fill my heart back… >> View Post

Holiday Happenings in Red Bud, Illinois
Every year we drive over to Red Bud, Illinois to attend their Holiday Happenings/Deerfest the weekend before Thanksgiving. Of course, last year we missed it because Miss Autumn made her appearance the day before. The weather was so mild that I didn’t even wear a jacket and the kids wore their light jackets. Not bad… >> View Post
Autumn’s 1st Birthday
Today my baby girl turned 1 and although it was an incredibly busy day, I still had time to remember how this day was last year when we welcomed her into the world. She has changed so much since then, from a baby that nursed quite often and was totally dependent on me to a… >> View Post

Autumn’s Chalkboard Bucket
For Nathan’s 1st birthday, I bought him this adorable wooden gift bucket with a chalk board on one side at Target and filled it with fire engine themed items. Of course, I had so much fun with it, that I decided I wanted to make Autumn a chalkboard bucket, too! I was so disappointed when… >> View Post
Field trip to Sears
I am in the Mehlville Mom’s Club, and they have field trips every week for the children. This week it was at Sears in Rock Hill off of Manchester and the children got to learn about different home appliances and also enjoyed some snacks (ha, some is putting it lightly! heheh!!). It was actually a… >> View Post
Chuck E. Cheese on Steroids
Last weekend I promised Nathan I would take him to Chuck E. Cheese for dinner… well, we get there, and, lets just say the word CHAOS sums it up. We high-tailed it out of there… we decided to go to Incredible Pizza, which is a larger version of Chuck E. Cheese. They were crowded, too,… >> View Post

Santa with the kids
Believe it or not, I am not the only mother dragging their kids to get their picture taken with Santa before Thanksgiving… there are many benefits, such as the mall isn’t too packed yet with holiday shoppers AND we walked right up to Santa (as in, no line!). However, I bought an adorable Pottery Barn… >> View Post
