If I could take a picture of myself right now and publish it along with this post, it would scare your socks off. I look like a walking zombie. And this is after I showered and got all made up. Yep, it’s one of those days where makeup doesn’t even help.

Kellan has quite a Christmas list this year. One of the many items he’s requesting? A magic wand. A REAL magic wand. He’s quite sure this will be no problem for Santa, since the jolly man himself is magic…

Woo hoo! A giveaway on AnchorMommy! I’m not really into giveaways and reviews – either hosting them or reading them – so I hesitated before deciding to do this one. But these little Scentsy Buddies are just so cute…and I love the idea of aromatherapy to help little ones nod off to sleep. And since so many of you have little ones too, well, I thought it would be nice to give you an opportunity to snag one just in time for Christmas.

Maybe it was all of the snow that we got last week, but I’ve been struck by an uncontrollable urge to craft, craft, craft. Most of the projects are kid-focused, like this easy winter mitten garland. Isn’t it cute?

This is the time of year when I become fully aware of the pervasiveness of princess stuff. In the stores, the gift catalogs, on the internet…everywhere you look there are tiaras, tutus and gowns marketed towards little girls…

Well, here it is. My baby is 4 months old now, which means…it’s time to take my life back.
Sort of. Once you’re a parent, of course, your life is no longer lived for just yourself alone. However, it’s time for me to make a few changes around here.

It shocks me that it’s been this long, but I’ve been a stay-at-home mom for a year and a half now. Can that be right??? But yes, when I look at the calendar, it’s true. I’m no newcomer to the world of SAHM-hood.
But perhaps what I find even more shocking is how I’ve evolved. I’m most DEFINITELY not the same kind of mother I was a year and a half ago…

I never, ever, in a million years thought I’d be the type of mom to use cloth diapers. I mean, the default is just disposables, right? Those who choose to use cloth are like, earthy, hippy, save-the-world types. Who don’t mind touching poop.
So imagine my own surprise when I decided to give them a whirl.

When it gets really quiet at our house, I know something is up. Here’s what happened when it got eerily quiet on Sunday morning…

So, remember last week when I talked about the not-so-bright-side of having a new baby? Life is certainly a little more complicated now that we’re a family of four. However, I’m shocked at how well I’m able to handle two kids at once…
