I was determined to make our 3 day weekend productive and I’m proud to say I did just that. This weekend we had crazy weather with sleet and snow as well as temperatures in the 50’s. If you would have told me Friday we would play outside all 3 days this weekend I wouldn’t have believed you considering this was my view on Friday morning. Saturday was our usual weekly grocery shopping. This is just one of the many reasons why I love our local grocery store. How old does Jack have to be before he disqualifies me from the “new mothers” category? Later that afternoon, J and Jack had…

Nothing like last weekend’s recap the night before the next weekend begins. Like most of the country, we got hit with snow and bitter temperatures. The high last weekend was one degree. On Monday the temperature was -8F at 8:00am. I can’t wait to see how much our heating bill is this month.

Sometimes I feel like I’m so on top of things, like getting holiday themed stamps, but that’s about it.  I also painted my…

I’ve decided that every week I am writing “clean house” on my to-do list. Not because I need to remember to do it, the food crumbs do a good enough job of that, but because I’m crazy and I need the satisfaction that comes from scratching an item off the list.  Besides cleaning the house and doing laundry, this weekend was full of playing Legos in bed.  Baby cuddles during nap time. A rare mommy and Jack picture. And a birthday celebration for my 3 year old niece. You know what this weekend wasn’t full off? Me cooking. And it was glorious! Oh wait, I did make breakfast on Sunday…
