The big game is right around the corner. I'm sad none of my teams made it, but I'm pulling for the Broncos. I'm sad to say goodbye to another football season. It's part of my favorite time of the year! Hubs and I decided yesterday that we were going to have a Super Bowl get together. Nothing like waiting until the last minute, right? It won't be anything big, just a few friends. Of course, as soon as we made the decision I started planning. Food, drinks, games and decorations. I sure do love throwing a party! I decided to share my ideas with you incase you're in the same ... read more

Our Journey to Parenthood- Brenda’s Journey
Please help me welcome Brenda from Dexter's Diggs today. Brenda and I went through our struggles around the same time and ended up having our miracles only weeks apart. Here is her journey... Hi! I’m Brenda over at Dexter’s Diggs. I always knew I wanted to be a mommy someday, long before I even met my husband-to-be. Before Dave and I got married we talked about our future kids… how many we wanted, where were would raise them, schools, and sports/activities they might play. Dave was ready to start having babies before we even said I do! He agreed to wait a bit once we were ... read more
A Day in the Life- WAHM
In April of last year, I did my first Day in the Life post. AG was much younger. I wasn't working as much. We still lived in FL… A lot has changed since then. I've had a few readers ask for this post, so without further adeui…a look into my daily life as a work at home mama. 6:00 Alarm goes off. I hit snooze twice. I'm out of bed by 6:15. I pack my gym bag and brush my teeth. I go to the gym 3-4 days a week. 6:30 Breakfast. I'm pretty boring when it comes to breakfast. Most days I have oatmeal with crasins and a dash of cinnamon. I have it with green juice and a glass of ... read more

Five on Friday
Brrr. Holy moly, it's cold around here. This morning I opened the door to find ice and snow. Not a lot, but more than I've seen in over a decade. I kind of love it, for today at least! Tomorrow will be back into the 60's and Sunday will be in the 70's! Crazy weather I tell you! Now onto Five on Friday. I have been so excited to put the mini in this little poncho nana gave her for Christmas. Target did it again with this one. Dressing her has become so much fun. I'm dreading the day she says no to what I pick out for her to wear. Dreading even more the day she wants to wear a ... read more

When are you going to have baby #2?
When are you going to have baby #2? Seems to be a pretty popular question theses days. I get it. AG is almost one and a half. It's about THAT TIME (according to some). The question isn't as offensive to me as it was before we had AG. Back in the day, I DID say I wanted to have kids just over two years apart. But that was before AG came into our lives. Before the infertility. Before the miscarriages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you would have asked me if I was ready for ... read more
