Growing up, my grandpa had one of those goofy toy parrots that repeated everything you said. I remember sitting around my grandparents' living room, everyone taking their turn to make the toy say something funny. Little did I know that one day I'd have a trick parrot of my own... So we've pretty much decided she's a genius…or at least a copycat :) ...
TGIF!
It's that time again! I'm back for another installment of Five on Friday with Darci & friends :) ONE. I need to get serious about something. As much as I don't want to, I need to kick my soda addiction! I know it's possible considering I did it throughout my entire pregnancy with Arden…but oh my, I love a good Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper on a hot day…or any day for that matter ;) So I'm going to enjoy a couple more over the weekend and then try to go cold ...
Headband Love
What was life like before Etsy? To be honest, I don't think I want to know! Every so often I get questions from friends about where I buy Arden's headbands, so I thought I would share some of my favorite Etsy shops on here. You might remember my crazy bow-making days…well as you can imagine, those came to a halt after Arden was born. I found it was much much easier to browse Etsy during nap time than it was to drag out my entire "sweatshop" and attempt to be creative. ...
Arden: 10 Months!
Length: 29 inchesWeight: 21-22 lbsHead Circumference: 17 inches Milestones this month: Crawling! The day we got home from the lake, your dad sat you down and you just started going! I love it when you go a few strides and then stop to look at us and assess the situation…and then you're off again! It's been so much fun to see you explore. Waving at anyone or everything. Random people in the grocery store, stuffed animals, pictures of people--you're not picky, you just love to wave. ...
Five on Friday!
You know that co-worker of yours that signs every e-mail at the end of the week with "Happy Friday!!!"…usually followed by a series of ridiculous emoticons? Yeah, that was me. And since I don't have any co-workers to harrass with my Friday happiness anymore, I will do it here in my little corner of the internet…because I can! HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!! :) :) :) And on this happy day I'm linking up with Darci & the gang once again! ONE. Chris and I are late to the game as ...
Wal-Mart Wonders
I have a confession: I love Wal-Mart. More specifically, Super Wal-Mart. I know, I know…it's not nearly as cool or trendy as Target, but I like the fact that I can get everything in one place AND walk out without feeling guilty or breaking the bank. Don't get me wrong, I love Target and all of it's tempting glory, but Wal-Mart is just more practical for me when it comes to groceries and basic household items. And lately I've even found some gems in other areas of ...
