We have yet to convert Ben’s crib to his big boy bed. I know, he’s two. He’s ready and perfectly capable of sleeping in a regular bed but we’re really lucky in the fact the he hasn’t/doesn’t try to climb out of his crib. I guess I’m putting it off because I know it will be hard the first couple of nights and honestly I just don’t trust that he won’t spring up from his bed at one in the morning and start playing with his trains. One thing that does ease my nerves about the big boy bed transition is the fact that with a big boy bed comes…

Summer in Spring Time
This past weekend the weather was BEAUTIFUL. I think we broke a record for the all time high in April with 91 degrees on Sunday. Luckily the wind was blowing and it was just perfect. Ben had quite the weekend. Saturday afternoon we spent a lot of time at the park where he got to play with one of his friends from preschool who also happened to be there. Sunday morning, we got up bright and early and headed over to the movie theater to see one of their free Spring movies. Each fall and spring, the theater shows older movies that were previously in the theater for free. We…

When Your Friend’s Getting Divorced
After reading Erin’s post over at Blue Eyed Bride I felt inspired to talk about my girlfriends. I have to say that I have some of the best group of friends a girl could ask for.

She recently told me that she is getting a divorce from her husband of a year and a half. My heart broke for…

Mother Daughter Getaway to KC
So there’s a lot of excuses as to why I haven’t updated this blog of mine in FOREVER. I could talk about how work has been kicking my butt, how when I get home all I want to do is curl up on the couch, or how I lost all motivation to do anything-I’m pretty sure there was a week recently when I didn’t cook a meal the entire week. Oops. But enough with the excuses. Since things have been so crazy, my mom and I decided to have a little girls night away. Last Friday we packed our bags, I left the little man with J, and we headed off…

Fights Happen at the Chuck E. Cheese
Is it just me or did you all know this? At lunch the other day I was talking with a coworker about how we went to Chuck E. Cheese this past weekend and she informed me that Chuck E. is prime place for knock down, drag out fights. Don’t believe me? Google it. Thankfully our location is pretty new and still filled with wild kids hyped up on sugar and frozen pizza and not thugs looking to take someone down. And since our Chuck E. is still safe we ventured out without mace for a fun time with J’s mom, aunt, and brother. Is this not precious?! Our niece. Ben…
