Putting Up Decorations

It may seem a bit early for putting up decorations, like we’ve jumped the gun a bit, but we just couldn’t help ourselves. After admiring all the Christmas garb in the Sunday ads, I just had to get in on the action. Starting with the adorable USB powered decorations on sale at Target, it just [...]

Blankets for the Baby That Kicks Them Off

My son is a kicker. He was in the womb and he is now in bed. It’s been a challenge for a long time to get him to be warm. Yes, we put him in pants and such to keep warm, things that he can’t kick off, but I just feel like sometimes a blanket [...]

Fall 2012

Sorry to be gone for so long. It’s been a tough transition and the move has taken a lot longer than intended. We have settled in to the North Shore of ‘Oahu, but there’s still so much to be done for everything to be where we would like them to be. Overall, though, family has [...]

Absences and Infrequency

Who’s been missing?  Me.  I know, I’m so disappointed in myself for not being present.  Though, admittedly, there are blogs I follow that also have inconsistencies because of life.  One lady had a loss in the family, another just purchased a new house, and they all needed breaks.  I may not be in need of [...]

Diaper Pail Advocate

Diaper Pail Advocate

I am totally an advocate for diaper pails.  I know, they can be pricey, get a little annoying when you need to buy refills, and seem silly in the sense that you could just keep using your same old trash can and get the same results.  Well, that’s totally not true and that’s why I’m [...]

Our Plan for Moving Across the Ocean- Part 3

20120917_160837

Okay, so maybe some things weren’t totally part of our “plan”, per se, but it’s definitely something to keep in mind if you plan a move and something we’re definitely glad we did.  Aside from all the packing we’ve done and getting everything shipped off, we decided to take this last little bit of time [...]

Toddler Toting Road Trip – Food & Snacks

Before we get on the plane to Hawaii, we first have to venture across the continental US to get to the coast so we can ship our car.  Needless to say, this is not an exciting venture to anticipate with a toddler in tow.  When we first drove from LA to Colorado, our son wasn’t [...]

Today’s post was so appropriate and timely.  If you’d like to read what Crystal had to say about falling off the bandwagon, head over and read about it.  I’ve been falling off the bandwagon so often, it’s not even funny, but it’s all okay anyway. I won’t do the daily check in since it’s pretty [...]

Okay, so I slept in late yet again and had another 11am morning.  Her post today, though, was all about not feeling guilty and finding what works for you.  No joke, getting up early makes me feel accomplished, but I don’t actually do much more than on a normal day.  When we get up earlier, [...]
