The little things are the biggest things {becoming mom}

by Andrea on March 12, 2012 · 7 comments

Sometimes I look around and I sigh. I think really? Is this what I am doing every day? It’s time to get groceries again? It’s time to wash their clothes again? And then all of a sudden, my 3 year old who couldn’t even pronounce the word downstairs a minute ago is explaining to me [...]

You’re doin OK mom {becoming mom}

Today I took Oscar to his preschool and he was so excited to go back that he hopped right out of the van without so much as a glance in my direction. This is kind of a big deal because in the first couple weeks when he had a few days off between school days, [...]

It’s official. Oscar is going to start pre-school on Monday. It’s a pretty big family event and now that I have picked up the pieces of my broken heart, I am actually pretty excited about it. Yesterday was a trial day and I got to hang out in the classroom the whole time. It’s just [...]

by Andrea on January 8, 2012 · 1 comment

Here is my child, helpless and lacking the knowledge to be able to blow his own nose, yet I am irritated at the interruption to my evening.

Most of us have taken down our Christmas decorations by now and maybe even some of you have taken down the outside lights. I am getting there ok? But the fact is, Christmas is over. And for all of its craziness, I think this may have been my best Christmas ever. I could go on [...]

5 easy photo ideas to capture Christmas

by Andrea on December 19, 2011 · 3 comments

Capturing Christmas memories can be difficult with two young children running around. The toddler is overcome with excitement and diving into presents faster than the speed of light and the baby goes between needing to be fed or at least held, wanting to nap and maybe eyeing a gift or two himself. It can be [...]

Essential baby gear {& a giveaway!}

by Andrea on November 30, 2011 · 21 comments

You would think that being a veteran mom (and believe me, I use that term lightly), I would know exactly what I would want on hand during the first few months of my baby’s life. Of course, each baby is different so you don’t really know what you need until they are here and screaming [...]

Have you ever had one of those Mom moments when you realize you are the only one not conforming to some societal norm? And it’s not that you are taking a stand either. It’s just one of those things that you never really think about until it happens… Say you take your kid to play [...]

Taking it Slow

by Andrea on August 1, 2011 · 6 comments

I am in a unique position right between old and new, literally. Because of my surgeries, I have to avoid stairs for most of the day. Not a huge deal except for the fact that we live in a split level home. Bedrooms and bathrooms are upstairs, kitchen and living room in the middle and [...]
