{Dylan’s Loyal Friend}

Lick

It has become increasingly obvious that one of our mutts has a special affinity towards Dylan. We have two pups that are actually sisters and we’ve had them since they were 6 weeks old. These pups could not be more different in how they interact with Dylan. Penny only pays attention to Dylan when she is …

{Messy Baby that I Love}

As recent as 4 months ago I would silently promise that I would remain the mom who always had a clean and well-dressed baby. I would wipe my baby’s face clean of food and change her clothes if she got too messy. In fact, when Dylan had a 24/7 eye infection because of blocked tear …

{9 Months}

9 Month BDay

Dylan turned 9 Months old today. She had her 9 Month check-up today too. The stats:  18 pounds (50th percentile) and 29.5 inches long (99th percentile) The goods news…Dylan’s tear ducts are completely clear, open and no longer blocked.

I didn’t visit the Rock of Gibraltar or Mount Rushmore. I already wear a rock on my finger. I didn’t take a tour of Alcatraz. I didn’t lift an Atlas …

{Contentment. A bad word?}

With all the passion, the ‘follow your dreams’ messages, and the rush to climb the corporate ladder, no wonder ‘contentment’ has become a bad word. No wonder being content, well, means you have no drive and that you are basically without any further dreams or hopes for yourself. In the dating world, meeting a young …

{Our BIG Ruler Tutorial}

FinalRuler-504x10241

This is what I made my husband for Christmas this year. He is sentimental about his baby girl and I knew he would love to have this to measure Dylan and our future children as they grow. We decided to mark it on birthdays and special occasions. Although we love our house, we know we …

{Vision of Love}

Yes, I love me some old-school Mariah Carey and yes, I love her song…”I had a vision of love and it was all that you’ve given to me…” but that’s not what this about. Well, sort of. It was probably 2003-ish, an undergraduate student studying psychology, when our professor announced he was going to lead …
