I’ve been amazed at how different Delia and Aiden are.  Delia was terrified of men, especially men with beards, when she was a baby (sorry grandpas – both grandfathers had beards and she would cry and turn away when she saw them)…Aiden prefers men, he will reach out for strangers even, especially men with beards.  Delia loved baby dolls and stuffed animales from 3 months forward…Aiden could take them or leave them but is in love with any type of {Read More}

I love that Delia has had a chance to meet her great grandmother.  We had such a nice time visiting with family and I just loved seeing my grandmother.  She’s as spunky and full of life as ever.  I finally got around to grabbing the latest Shabby Princess desktop for March and found the perfect picture of Delia and her great grandmother.  And…I’m embarrassed to say that the desktop I replaced was from September…not sure what to say about that.  {Read More}

My grandmother turned 90 on valentine’s day.  We were supposed to be there for her 90th birthday party, but an uncharacterstic snow storm (one of 2 or 3 this winter) hit the Baltimore area a couple of days before and the party was postponed.  So we’re heading down this weekend to celebrate a month late.  I’m beyond excited, not just for her birthday but also because we are driving down. I grew up taking driving vacations when I was younger.  {Read More}

If you know me, you’re laughing…me, addicted to cleaning.  Well, not exactly.  When Aiden was about 3 months (can you believe he turns 1 on Thursday…I know, where does the time go???) I noticed that the dish soap didn’t seem to be washing out of his bottles.  I would go to fill them and there would be suds in there.  If I was making formula, it wasn’t a huge deal, but breast milk…seemed like a crime to throw it away, {Read More}

I have no snappy pictures to post of our beautiful holidays.  They are mostly on my camera, and well, there is the fact that I was sick for weeks so maybe I didn’t take as many as usual – started the week before Christmas and I’m still on antibiotics for an ear infection that doesn’t seem to want to go away.  Aiden is on his third type of antibiotics for a similar ear infection – poor little guy.  Anyway, I’m {Read More}

Every year I struggle to find a great idea for a holiday present for Delia’s teacher.  The ideal gift is something that is pretty, functional and doesn’t break the bank.  We have fallen back on nice soap and lotion sets from Bath and Body Works on one too many occasions.  I really wanted this year to be different and I’m super excited with the idea I came up with.  I knew that this year I wanted to design our holiday {Read More}

When I was younger I was obsessed with this B made for TV move – The Girl, the Gold Watch & Everything.  it was about this detective (I think he was a detective) who inherits this watch that will either a) stop time or b) make you invisible.  I don’t even remember what the rest of the movie was about, but I would daydream for hours about what I could do if I had a watch like that.  When I {Read More}

OK – so once again, I’ve totally abandoned my blog!  The end of summer was a little crazy here, a vacation and then visitors and then more visitors, an emergency trip to the doctors thrown in for good measure – I feel like school starting has slowed things down – which is a GOOD thing!  While browsing through the 315 photos from the last couple weeks of summer these two just popped out at me.  I can’t help gushing about {Read More}
