I don’t want to sound like a whiner, but DAYAM, being a mom is hard work. I always thought I knew this, but when Kyle was out of town I really realized it. For real. Trying to be productive during those 5 days was a joke. I gave up after the first day. So much for finishing moving in (I had wanted to surprise Kyle by having the house all done when he returned from his trip). But how realistic is vacuuming and hammering the art up on the wall during P’s limited napping time? … Read more >

Maybe it’s just me, but I find it exciting seeing what new (to me) products are available in different areas.

Moving takes forever. Also, Kyle left mid-week for a bachelor party (yes, the festivities began on Wednesday). So we… Read more >

My sister sent me a guest post without any prodding from me – clearly blogging runs in our blood. As I’m sure you’ve gathered in Elise’s previous blogs, as kids one of our (or at least my) favorite meals was manicotti. Its also one of the first dishes I learned to cook as my mom would "let" us mix and stuff the shells (I’m pretty sure looking back on it now it was a ploy to get us to help out in the kitchen, but I guess it worked – take notes, Elise!). Anyway, since… Read more >
