This Weekend
Chris' parents are down from Yucaipa to be with us this weekend. I've been waiting for weeks for them to arrive. Mostly because I love it when someone else is around to hold Lincoln for awhile, so...
Lincoln at 1 Month
Finally got around to making a Project Life page for Lincoln's one month photos. We've been super busy prepping for the Swoon wedding show, but now that it's over I can spend some time...
Sale Time!
Woohoo! If you're looking for anything fun and engaging for your middle/high school math students, Teachers Pay Teachers is throwing a big ol' sale! It's happening just in time for the second...
One Little Word: EMBRACE
I came up with my word for this year as I lay trying to fall asleep early the morning of New Year's Day. Up until that time, no words had come to me. I was reflecting on my word for 2015, TODAY, and...
Moving to the Crib: Days Three, Four, and Five
We skipped the attempt on Day 3. I think Chris was too afraid of a repeat of the night before to try to put Lincoln down in his crib, so he just let him fall asleep in his swing and stayed there for...
Moving to the Crib: Day Two
Well, day two was a fail. I went to bed early, so Chris worked on putting the little monkey down tonight. He made three attempts, but Link woke up within ten minutes every time and started...
Moving to the Crib: Day One
Chris and I decided before Link was born that we would have him in our room, in a bassinet by our bed, for the first two months, and then transition him to his own room and crib. And of course we...
I’m probably jinxing myself…
Lincoln has been an awesome sleeper in his little seven weeks of life. Seriously, we got a great baby when it comes to the sleeping thing. (I really hope I'm not jinxing myself here.)Generally...
Good-bye, 2015
So... it's been awhile, eh?In my defense, I did have a baby six and a half weeks ago, so that's been keeping me busy.Here's this little guys' most recent mug shot:Lincoln has definitely made the...
Lincoln Meets Santa
Two days before Christmas, I lay in bed one morning while Lincoln was taking his morning nap and the thought popped into my head that we HAD to take Link to see Santa. A quick search on my iPhone...
Lincoln: 1 Month
Linkydink hit one month on December 15. Here are some facts about this little boy at one month old:Link was not much of a fan of his photo shoot after about five minutes.
He’s here!
Lincoln West is here! Only four days late, born on November 15. He weighs more than we expected (8 lbs, 4 oz) and has so much hair!Holy cow, we have a baby!
40 Weeks
Well, it's almost the end of November 11, and no baby so far. I wasn't actually expecting him to arrive on his due date (I know that's not usually how it works), but I fully expected him to be born...
Fall Baby
Way back 9 months ago, I pictured being pregnant in the fall very differently than how it's happened. My cute maternity wardrobe would consist of sweaters and leggings and boots, and I'd spend the...
Fall is here!
Yikes, it's been awhile, hasn't it? The entire month of September has flown by, along with the first half of quarter one, and most of my third trimester! Baby T arrives anywhere from 4-6 weeks from...
28 Weeks + Finished Baby Blanket
We've made it to the third trimester! Lately Baby Boy's kicks have been getting more powerful and more spread out. I feel him under my ribs a lot on the right side, and a couple days ago I could...
How I’m making fitted cloth diapers
So why am I even bothering making cloth diapers, when there's already so many adorable ones out there? When I first started researching (and being overwhelmed by) cloth diaper types, one thing that...
22 Weeks
Holy moly, we're just a month away from hitting the third trimester!It's starting to get really real around here. In these last couple weeks, Baby T has really upped his squirming game. I can feel...
Cloth Diapers
We've decided to go the cloth diaper route, for a couple of reasons.1) They're way too cute.2) Hello, money saver?3) We're all about the good ol' environment.When I started researching cloth...
Around here
Eating Cookie Crisp cereal. Every single day. I have never been a huge cereal person, and now I am making trips to the store to load up on three boxes of Cookie Crisp each week.Visiting the doctor!...
