31 Days of Gratefulness: Day 3

The photo gallery on my phone is holding 1206 photos of my little angel. My poor little SIM card is working its ass off. It's just so easy to grab my phone and snap a photo of the cute little face she makes when she tries a new food. Or how cute she looks when she falls asleep in the middle of all of her toys. Or how about when one of the pugs snuggles up to her while she is sleeping?

Yes, my camera phone is wonderful for all of these special moments in our lives. But let's face it....a camera phone is not going to provide quality photos. While I am grateful for my camera phone, I am much more grateful for my

Professional Photographer

My cousin's fiance introduced me to her friend Carrie Nawarynski when I was looking to have Baby Girl's 4 month photos taken. I was slow to start so I missed the newborn pictures so I decided to have her pictures taken at 4, 8 and 12 months.

The four month photos were ADORABLE! It helps that my little girl is ridiculously cute but Carrie was so easy to work with and so patient with us.

Since she did such a great job with the four month photos, I knew I wanted her to do our eight month photos as well. I dropped the ball on scheduling so they are actually more like nine month photos but that's ok. She did a great job with these too!

How stinking cute is this kid? I mean seriously. Carrie was awesome. She was very patient with us, especially since I had my immediate family with us to have pictures taken as well. I saw a few generation photos on Pinterest that I wanted to try.

The pictures are beautiful and I am so grateful that I was able to find Carrie. Next photo shoot? December for Baby Girl's 12 month photos. I can't believe it's only two months away!!

Check my blog for a full post with all of the pictures.

Cheerios Stands

So when I logged onto my computer this morning, the first article that caught my attention was this one ( Cheerios Stands ) about a new commercial Cheerios has out. They are getting a ton of negative feedback for this commercial and I'm just not understanding why. So basically, people are upset because this is a white mother, a black father and a biracial child. What's the big deal? I know that it isn't a common thing to see in a TV commercial but what's the big deal? I really don't think that biracial couples are uncommone these days so I'm not really understanding why they are getting such negative feedback for this commercial. I give a ton of props to Cheerios/General Mills for not pulling the ad. They could do that and that would be easy and would end the negativity but they are not going to do that. Good for you. There is no reason why this ad should not be aired. By the way, I think the commercial is cute and funny and I proba...

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time! He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day. It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs. As of today, though, I am up 17lbs. I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine. I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though! The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated. I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time. Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues. I don't ever ...

So What Wednesday

So what if I have been converted to a snow hater. I usually love the snow. I loved to see the white stuff blanketing everything. I loved having snow days. I loved how quiet it would get because people were keeping warm in their homes. I loved the sound of sleds and kids building snowmen. I don't love it anymore. Snow days? I don't get snow days. I don't work. I don't get to have work or school canceled. I don't get to take the day off from my kids because of the snow. What I do get is to have a mini van that sucks in the snow so I don't get to go anywhere and get cooped up in the house with the kids. And I also get a husband who is gone. He plows snow in the Winter. Go figure. He has been gone almost non-stop for the past two weeks because of this stupid snow and he will be gone again tonight because of the snow. So not only do I get stuck inside with the kids while my husband is gone, I also h...
