We are the Millers

This is my first time linking up for   1.  Tell us what you like to do when it's cold outside. -----I like to curl up on the sofa and wrap myself in a nice warm blanket.  I like to dress my daughter in her softest fleece and cuddle with her.  I like to make some hot chocolate and watch a movie with my husband.  2.  Tell us some of your favorite 'winter' recipes. -----My favorite 'winter' recipe is for pumpkin pie.  I use the basic recipe from Libby's but I like to add a little extra in the spice department.  I also love pumpkin rolls (also use the Libby's recipe) and plan to make little pumpkin roll sandwiches this year.      3.  Show a picture of something that makes you think of the cold.. 4.  Tells us/show us some of your favorite accessories/outfits for the winter. -----Scarves and slippers are my favorites.  5.  Tell us if you had the option of snow or no snow, ...

In 26 days, I will have a one year old. The basics? Diapers - still a size 3.  The girl is growing up, not out :)  Clothing - 12 and 18 months and the pants always seem too short Food - More and more 'adult' foods.  She now gets her own plate of whatever we are having for dinner.  She is still eating some stage 3 baby foods too. Sleeping - Goes to bed between 9 and 10, wakes up between 7 and 8 Daycare - still there :( Camera roll - 1405 pictures, 179 downloads Teeth - Two bottoms and four tops! Words - Da Da (Daddy once), Ma Ma, Nana, dog, duck, kitty, puff, hi Favorite cartoons - Mickey Mouse Club House Favorite toy - Her stuffed Pug and her Rocktivity set She decided that as soon as she started crawling, she was going to start walking as well.  She is always on her feet, always trying to walk.  She still needs our help but it won't be long until she finds her balance and takes off on her own.  I'm pretty sure she will be walking by her...

Linking up with Mandy from Mommy Musings for Boy have I been OFF lately.  I was doing so well with entering all of my food and counting calories and eating healthier.  And then I fell off the wagon.  Majorly.  I'm still trying to watch what I eat but I have completely stopped entering my foods into LoseIt  and I haven't started to exercise at all.  I have also been much more lenient about my meal selections lately.  I feel so off lately.  Not just with my fitness but with everything.  I'm so tired.  I can't get myself to bed before 11pm any night.  And it's my own fault.  I just have too much to do.  And I'm a little more snappy than usual.  I'm getting annoyed more easily.  I really think it's all because I have lost focus on my fitness.  I have been eating so much better than ever before and when I eat something that's not so great, it throws me off.  Not getting enough sleep is ...

Linking up with Between the Lines for I think the final 12 on The Voice are pretty dam fabulous.  My favorites are in red but I think Trevin (in yellow) is going to win.     I think the Mommy date I have planned for this weekend is beyond fabulous.  The husbands have a play date with the kids while the Moms go out to dinner.  It's awesome.   I think my husband's birthday was pretty fabulous.  We went out to dinner where Baby Girl proceeded to pig out like I've never seen before.  Mac and cheese, applesauce, chicken, rolls, ice cream.  She ate everything!  And she got Daddy this pretty fabulous gift. His favorite picture of her    I think it's fabulous that Baby Girl's first birthday is in exactly one month.  Ok, I'm kind of on the fence about this because it makes me sad that my little baby girl is turning one and I would have loved to keep her a newborn forever.  But I know the bir...

Linking up with Adventures of Newlyweds for     Dear Baby Girl,  you are 11 months old today.  This makes me cry.  11 months ago you were just this little newborn baby.  And now you're almost a toddler.  I have a ton of things to do throughout the next month to prepare for your first birthday!  I know you won't remember it but it's still going to be ridiculously awesome! Dear Greys, I was a little bored with you last night but I'm really excited for next week's episode.  I'm so glad Christina is coming back!  This long distance friend relationship thing just wasn't working for me.  Now get Christina and Owen back together and I'll be happy. Dear first birthday outfit, I know I posted a picture of you on last Friday's Letters but you are just too adorable to not post again.  Plus I got your shipping notice today so I can't wait to see you!!!   Dear The Voice, I am quite happy with the results ...

Anyone who knows me know that I LOVE Christmas.  I love the decorations.  I love to decorate my own house and see all of the other cool decorations other people have.  There is a house down the street from us that always has more lights and decorations than I have ever seen in one yard.  It's a bit much but it's an attention grabber. I love the Christmas tree.  I love to get the tree out each year (yes we have a fake because I can't stand the needles) and I love to decorate it.  Growing up, our family would decorate the tree together with all kinds of ornaments that we had collected over the years.  I like to do themes for my trees.  Last year I did pink and silver in honor of the newest member of our family.  I'm really hoping to instill the tradition of decorating the tree with my kids. I love finding the perfect gifts for people and I love to watch their reactions when they open those gifts.  I generally wait until I have purcha...

This week, I'm saying so what if... I am not happy with the results of the election but I have no right to complain because I'm not even registered to vote.  (go ahead, throw your stones) I had a total Mom fail this morning when Baby Girl fell off of her changing table.  I was lucky enough to keep head from hitting the floor but I think we both had heart attacks. Baby Girl's first birthday is in a month and I haven't even finished designing the invitations yet. I am actually looking forward to the snow we might be getting.  I love snow but I feel so bad for the people in NJ who are getting even more rain. I didn't get Just Dance 4 yet. I can feel myself starting to lose motivation with the whole weight loss thing.  I have been cheating WAY too much. I have 51 followers!  I know, it's not that many but it is to me!  Thanks for following! I had a really hard time writing this post this week because all I can think about is my poor Gran...
