It’s A Barnyard Affair

It’s A Barnyard Affair

There is no greater cause for celebration in life than a wedding. Ok, ok, maybe a baby ranks right up there on the party list. But since no babies are on my immediate horizon (for now!), we packed up the girls and drove up to Massachusetts this past weekend with my parents and brothers to celebrate the marriage of my beautiful cousin Katie to her long time beau Jarrett.     Many extended family members on my side were also in attendance making this event a rare opportunity to see my girls spend time with so many of the people that I grew up with. This barnyard wedding was a beautiful affair, relaxed and casual, full of personal ritual and meaning, ... read more

A Moment and A Memory

August 4, 2012

Do you ever wonder what moments your children will pick out as their favorites? What will they remember? How much will they forget? We care so much about giving our children special and precious memories but the reality is, we are making these memories as much for them as we do for ourselves. My babies are so young, perhaps too young to create memories that last forever. But they can feel- feel our love, feel happiness and excitement, feel joy and wonder and curiosity. The moments, for them, are fun and wonderful and certainly the topics of discussion for weeks and months to come. But these are only special forever memories to us and are really just parts of the puzzle that will shape ... read more

Go To Sleep

August 2, 2012

Grace Jane is a different baby entirely from the little infant we experienced with Lilly. I mean duh, of course she's different. But where Lilly liked to sleep in her crib, to stretch out and be nice and cool and relaxed, Grace wants to be cuddled, snuggled, and squeezed right up close to your body (any body will do, I don't think it's just Mommy). Even if it's 800 degrees, Grace would rather be sweating her cute butt off than laying alone somewhere cool. So I'm awake most of the night, lying in fear of smothering my kid, contorted into some kind of awkward block-the-baby-from-falling-out-while-simultaneously-cuddling-and-protecting-her-from-being-smothered-by-Daddy position that ... read more

Wordy Wednesday: Little Pookie

Wordy Wednesday: Little Pookie

Every Wednesday I will post a great book for you and your child to read together. There will often be a simple craft or project to go with it to further promote reading comprehension, vocabulary, and communication. *We're traveling this week so are not in project mode. But this weeks book selection is still a keeper!* Have you discovered this series yet? Little Pookie is our favorite little pig. And Sandra Boynton is hands down one of my favorite children's book authors. Many of her board books were Lilly's first favorites and are so worn out the pages are falling apart. That's impressive for a short, 1-2 year shelf life! Click here to purchase. This is the story of a cute and sometimes ... read more
