And my 6 pound baby is now 2!

Where did the time go? My child turned 2 almost two months ago and I’m finally writing about it. Life has been hectic so give me the “bad mom of the year” award now. Just get it over with! I put a lot of thought into what I wanted his party to be like. The [...] [...more]

Cheap things to do around Central Oregon

Cheap things to do around Central Oregon

We hardly drive to Redmond, OR for fun because there are plenty of fun things to do in Bend so why drive to Redmond? Well, when we heard they had a cool fountain kids could stay cool from the hot sun we decided we had to drive up and see it. And it was WORTH [...] [...more]

How we roll on Saturday nights

How we roll on Saturday nights

I really don’t have to tell you that we’re lovers of music in our household. My husband is a musician and I, well, you read this blog, you know I like music a lot. On Saturday night, I confided in my husband of the dirty little secret that Lil B and I partake in when my husband’s [...] [...more]

Can’t get enough of peanut butter chocolate Easter eggs unless …

… you come down with a stomach virus.  Lil B awoke me at 3 a.m. crying with a weird cough. As I rolled out of bed and walked into him room there was this stench of grossness. Poor little guy couldn’t keep anything down. After a few hours, he just sorta snapped out of it and [...] [...more]

Terrific Twos

Terrific Twos

Even though my son is not two for 2.5 months, we have officially entered the “terrific twos” stage as I’m coining it (trying to be positive folks).  I’m pretty sure he’s not getting the greatest nap at daycare anymore because he’s just cranky butt tired when he gets home.  He’s hungry but we’ve officially also [...] [...more]

Ms. Flake

Ms. Flake

A few years ago, I used give my friend Shawn a ton of crap for “using her baby as an excuse to flake.” She knew I was kidding just a little. To make matters more complicated, Shawn’s husband was relocated and they moved to Salem.  I’ve missed seeing Shawn (and even Sarah, now a toddler) [...] [...more]

Fist bump

Fist bump

It’s amazing how fast Lil B is picking up on everything we do and say. For example, he mastered high-five, like last year but he’s moved onto fist bump! The Republicans in our family will be SO proud! He also has mastered thank you, please, bath and choo choo. He says a ton of stuff [...] [...more]

Uh oh

Uh oh

What happened to the kid that ate everything? One day, he loves Pasta Pick Ups. Then the next week, he won’t eat a single one! It was the only way this kid would even touch a vegetable. He loves the Morningstar Farms Veggie Bites but now no one in Bend sells them. I’ve been to [...] [...more]
