 We arrived in San Fran LATE LATE last night. It was 1:30 am pacific time (3:30 am midwest time). Probably the latest I've stayed up in 3 years. I actually only slept 3 hours...woke up and feel like a million bucks. Funny  how that never happens when I have to wake up with the baby after only 3

From Day 1, I knew I wanted the new nursery to have stripes on the walls. It was just a vision I had in my head. I love the sleek modern look of it!  Once I picked my fabric, which you can see here, I decided that the stripes needed to be gray and white. Do you know how long I looked on line for

P Man’s Valentine

If you recall, P Man DOES NOT like to participate in crafts. No coloring. No painting. No crafting. So, when he brought home his Valentine's Day project of decorating a heart from pre-k, I was a little concerned on how I was going to coax him in to completing it. But, I quickly realized that if I

I got a sweet delivery at work today! The best part...it was hand delivered by my entirely too hot for words husband! Isn't he the best? And I love that he is still calling me "hot mama"....even though I refer to myself as "pregnant mama". All you prego's out there know...there ain't nothing "hot"

I guess it depends on if you define "better" by "better work ethic" or "better attitude".  My new cleaning lady is cleaning for me today. And although she may be better at cleaning the floor then this little one... ....I doubt she will be near as enthusiastic!   And there's no WAY her hair

Someone I know turned THIRTY THREE last month. Wasn't me. Since I can say I am still in my 20's. Well. I can say that for the next 14 days at least. Ahem. I'd say 33 looks pretty darn good on him. What do you think? I'm a lucky woman! Unfortunately, he was out of town for his actual birthday

What's on your Superbowl menu? When it comes to parties...I usually like to cater. I know...lazy, but I am not the queen of making great appetizers. Since my hubby decided that he would make his famous chili, which you can find the recipe & step by step instructions HERE, I knew I could handle

I have no idea how I could have gotten pink eye. This is what my eye looked like last night. And this was actually almost 12 hours after I started the medication. It looked a lot worse on Tuesday night. So much worse...that I wouldn't want to disgust you with a picture. I'm trying to be

  A certain someone is being a little NON-cooperative at pre-k these days. I know it's hard to imagine that a face as sweet as this.... ....would be uncooperative. He has only been in pre-k a few months. At age 3 they don't do a whole lot of "pushing" when it comes to participating. They simply

22 weeks - almost 2 days late My boobs are KILLING me. My clothes don't fit. And I pee 27 times a day. I shouldn't complain. My baby is healthy and growing growing growing. For that, I am thankful! But, I could really do without the constant peeing. My office isn't that close to the restroom. And

When I found out that baby #3 was going to be yet ANOTHER boy...I wasn't disappointed in the fact that I would have 3 boys...but I was a little worried about how I would come up with decorations for ANOTHER BOY ROOM! Those of you who have boys, know that the selection is limited when it comes to
