A little bug has officially taken over Ben. Poor thing has been sick since Tuesday night and just when we thought he was all better, he started throwing up again. The worst part is that although he’s drinking plenty of fluids, he refuses to eat anything. Everything we offer him he says, “no, no,” and pushes it away. Looks like I’ll be spending lots of time cuddling and relaxing with my sweet man this weekend, hopefully sans vomit. Fingers crossed.

No Excuses
Wouldn’t it be great if the reason I’ve been away from blogging for so long is because I got all of my 10 Things in 10 days completed?!? Well it would be great, but it would also be a big.fat.lie. Out of the 10 things I’ve completed 1. One. Uno. That’s it. Another reason for my lack of blogging is that between work and the heat, by the time I get home, make dinner and spend time as a family, blogging is the last thing I want to do. It’s been 100 degrees here lately and miserable. Despite the heat, last weekend Ben and I went with my mom to…

10 in 10 Challenge
I saw this great idea for a challenge over at The Shabby Chic Cottage and decided it might be the perfect little push of motivation I need to do some things around the house that I have been meaning to do forever.

I had much more important things to do like catching up on reality tv, watching movies, reading a few books, and laying around. I did manage to do some projects around the house that I had been wanting to get done like re-decorating the guest bathroom and master bathroom and sprucing up…

What Happened to Never Again?
Remember how J and I decided we were going to take a break from eating at restaurants with Ben since he seems to want to do everything but sit in the high chair and eat? Welp that lasted about a week. J’s aunt was in town from Florida so all of J’s family went to dinner and despite our better judgment we went too. And to make us look like liars, Ben did fantastic. He sat in his chair, ate his food, and didn’t throw anything!

A Taste of Two
Today J and I got the chance to see just what life would be like with another child. J’s cousin is moving about an hour away so while she and her husband moved we volunteered to watch her two little girls. Mallory is 4 and Kylie is 13 months and they are the cutest, sweetest, and most well behaved children. Mallory ended up not staying with us since she had been feeling sick the day before so it was just Kylie and Ben. Although they’ve played together many times at different family things, this was the first time they hung out just one on one. Being less than 6 months…
