Ali and I are always looking for fun craft ideas for our three year olds. They love getting together and are both becoming very creative. They also don’t have very long attention spans when they are together because of all the distractions and toys around. This can make some of our craft ideas a little …
Motherhood
Shayne Turns 11 Months!
It is hard to believe that we are already planning for our sweet baby girl’s first Birthday! While at times, this first year of her life has felt like a hundred lifetimes with all of the transitions our little family has had to make adjusting to our new lives as a family of four. But …
Learning to Swim-Part 3
We recently decided to enroll Kolton is swim class an extra day, so he now goes Tuesdays and Thursdays. This will probably only be temporary, but we feel it is important to get him in the water as much as possible if we want him ready for summer. He has had absolutely no objections to …
Shayne Turns 10 Months!
Shayne has had a pretty exciting month. She traveled to Tucson again to see her Great-Grandmother, her Auntie Nicole and to celebrate her soon to be here baby cousin! She was the hit of everywhere we went. She was even able to sit through long lunches out at restaurants, as long as she had some …

Sugar and Spice and Charming Damsel

Shayne Turns 8 Months!
My beautiful baby girl began the new year with a double ear infection and double eye infection. Luckily, she was such a trooper and took her antibiotics with no problems and even allowed me to give her eye drops 4 times/day. To my delight, she recovered very quickly and was back to her sweet self …
