Carl loves Lambie from DocMcstuffins. I think that I am actually more into the show than he is (I think it’s adorable!) My Mom bought him a Doc McStuffins Flap book and he is obsessed with finding the characters. His favorites are Lambie and Hallie so I was excited to make this snack for him. …
I don’t know about you, but when it comes time to make food for someone in need, I always end up making the same thing: baked ziti. I just made a batch for my neighbors who were moving (so they could focus on the packing rather than cooking). I decided the next time I make …
I love Nurseries and little kids’ rooms – I think they are so much fun to decorate. I find myself looking at and pinning ideas for our nonexistent other children. About a year ago, my Mom asked me to create some prints for her friend who was designing an adorable nursery in gray, lime green, …
I despise stinky Sippy cups. Carl started to use a Sippy cup for water at about 8 months. Cleaning the cup just took some soap and water. But then, we introduced milk. Dirty Sippy cups soon became my enemy. I couldn’t believe the smell milk created in a Sippy cup. I told my husband that …
I haven’t been as creative with Carl’s food lately. He’s super picky so it makes it really hard. On the other hand, he is so much more excited now by cutesy foods so maybe it will encourage him to try new things! This cute kids snack is super easy. This would be perfect for a …
Have you ever seen Skip Hop’s Treetop Friends collection? It is adorable! It looks like this: Last year, a family friend was having a baby and planning a sweet nursery filled with a few Treetop Friends items (see the prints I made for her here). It’s the perfect theme for gender-neutral nurseries and parties. Not …
Today I am sharing one of my husband’s favorite desserts, Peanut Butter Explosion Ice Cream Cake. I started to make ice cream cakes a few years ago out of necessity because my husband is really not a cake person (I know, he’s crazy). And in our house, peanut butter and ice cream go together even …
Even though I am not a teenage girl, I hung on every word of The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. It’s one of those books that was written for young adults, but is loved by a much larger audience (at the time I am writing this, it has been on the NY Times Best …
Today I am sharing with you some amazing ideas that I have total mom envy over. I love family traditions. I mean love. Growing up, we had so many traditions that made our birthdays and holidays so much more fun. I knew that once I had children, creating traditions would be important (and exciting!) I …
Last week I gave a little sneak peek on Instagram for today’s post. We celebrated Carl’s half-birthday (yes, my husband and I am crazy and celebrate every little thing). Since Carl’s birthday falls so close to Christmas, I told my husband that I wanted to celebrate his half-birthday as a tradition. No toys or parties, just a …
