Despite a full plate, another reason (and probably the most significant reason) for the delay in the re-launch was that I have also been doing some serious soul searching on what I wanted this blog to be. Whether one person … Continue reading →

I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas and ironically I am a mother waiting to see the gender of her kid! Hmmmmmm. I am ready to tear this envelope open and let the planning process begin. I need strength! Continue reading →

This Thursday me and the Hubs head to the doctor to hopefully (fingers crossed) find out if our little monkey is going to have a baby brother or baby sister this upcoming spring. I flippantly mentioned to the Hubs waiting onfinding out the gender and letting it be a surprise knowing that it may be our last child and thinking it might add to the excitement of our second pregnancy (since I feel like I just went through all of this…oh yeah, I did).

If you followed my last blog, then you know I am a huge fan of Herbal Water. The refreshing, all-natural, flavor infused waters are an excellent healthy alternative to sugary juices and plain, bland water.

This year I have a growing number of little ones on my list to buy for, including my own little man. I am at that stage in life where many friends (and family, for that matter) have little tikes that I always want to get a little something for this time of year. Not to mention, my own little guy. At 13 months, I know he could really care less about how many presents are under the tree. He also certainly does not lack any toys or neccessaties. It’s not him I’m buying for, it’s me. I can’t stand the thought of not having a few things wrapped up from Santa for his second Christmas.

After some perusing of good old cyber space I decided to list with some great finds for the little ones in your life….all under $20 (and note: there are no stuffed animals on this list {smile}).

I just love this time of year. And one of my favorite things about the holidays is checking the mail and tearing open all the wonderful photo cards from friends and family that I get to proudly display as part of my home decor through the new year.

Alright, now for the confession. Between my monkey’s first birthday, the half-marathon, Thanksgiving, and preparing for some holiday time off of work – I have not yet sent out (okay, even ordered) Christmas cards…
