  Another place in S.F. that I HAD to go to....Nest Maternity! We don't have cute little children boutiques where I live. Darn you small towns. It may or may not have been a $15 one way cab ride from our hotel to get to this place. But, isn't it adorable? And I left with a new fabulous diaper

We are officially back from San Fran! It was SUCH a good time and I have tons to recap...including a few blogger meet-ups! Boo to work! But, YAY for reuniting with my baby boys! I missed them LIKE A CRAZY PERSON! I, however, DID NOT miss work. At all. Not even a smidge. Nope. None. Kinda

 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

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
