I have had such a great time with my girl the last several months celebrating the Holidays.
This is the first Valentines Day that she has been aware of. She keeps telling me, “Mommy, Valentines Day is coming up!”
Since its this weekend, I wanted to have a few fun V-Day activities for us to do, spread throughout the week.
The time has come where we all declare our improvements for the New Year.
I wasn’t planning on sharing with the world, (or my tiny corner of the internet), what I feel needs to be worked on. Then after some thought, perhaps putting some of these things in writing may make me feel more accountable. Maybe. Only one way to find out.

Now its really getting down to the wire. Are you ready for Christmas? Do you have a few people to shop for? Have you found out people are coming over unexpectedly?
Some of the things Little Miss and I have done this month may help you out. We’ve decorated the house and made gifts all on a budget. This is my list of everything we did. Continue reading
Christmas is next week and there’s still way too much to do. My list feels long and I feel the best way to put it in perspective, is to write it down.
In no particular order, here is my list of what needs to be done…in the next few days…

This has been such a wonderful Christmas season so far! I’ve had so much fun decorating our new house and teaching our oldest all about Santa.
The other day, I asked her what she was going to say to him when she sat on his lap. She said, “I’m going to tell him that Ronan is learning how to talk.” It was such a sweet moment that made me realize she doesn’t get it quite yet. (I’m fine with that!)

When we become parents, we are bombarded with decisions to make. From the big time, (religion), to the much smaller, (what’s for breakfast?).
All we can do is decide on things based on personal experience and how it makes us feel.
Doing research and finding outside opinions doesn’t hurt. However, in this day in age, you can find thousands of great arguments for both sides on anything. You could spend hours researching a subject and feel as if you’re running in circles. So, as I mentioned earlier, in the end, you have to do what feels right to you.
I love decorating for Christmas. I listen to the music as soon as it starts playing on the radio. I love putting up lights and the gawdy glittery ornaments.
At our old house I went through a brief stint of lighting up every single bush in our front yard.
Wow! Another Thanksgiving weekend down. And can I just say, my tummy hurts! Ugh!
Not from all of the delicious, carb-rich food from our two Thanksgivings.
My discomfort is from all the cookies I ate Sunday during our annual cookie baking fest.
As we’re getting rid of everything we own and settling into our new place, I can’t help but get excited about breaking out the Christmas decorations. They’re just sitting right in front of my face (in the garage), and it has taken everything I have to wait until this weekend.
The last few weeks have been some of the most stressful of my life. We’ve been moving out of our house of eight years.
Moving is the worst in general. But after eight years of accumulating stuff and almost four of those years, accumulating baby and kid stuff….there’s a lot of, well, stuff. I’m ready to add an extra two years to our lease just so we can postpone our next move.
