This year I didn’t go all out on the Halloween costumes for my kids. My daughter wanted to be Ariel, and I had a neighbor who had made a mermaid costume for her daughter in the past and offered to let us borrow it. I figured then I wouldn’t have to try to figure out [...]

Remember my post way back when on Walking Wings? My daughter recently found them, put them on, brought me her doll and asked me to put her in so she can carry her. I have many different carriers that I use with my son, and it just made me smile to see her copying me. [...]

This is my daughter (the one in the middle with the curly hair) with her redheaded girl cousins. There are even more redheads in the family (several nephews as well) that aren’t pictured here.
I have to laugh because I fit in more looks-wise with my husband’s family than I do in mine. On my side [...]

I remember going camping with my family when I was younger and really enjoying it. When a group of people from our church had a camp-out last weekend, we decided it would be fun to go. My daughter was sooooo excited to get to sleep in a tent and would not stop talking about it. [...]

Babies reach a certain age where they just want to be on the move. They roll or crawl or squirm and make diaper changes practically impossible.
My sister-in-law showed us this little trick with our daughter and it works great.
I know he’s not very squirmy in the video, but I promise it does work!

I finally bought a DSLR camera! I am so excited. I’ve wanted one for a while, and even had the chance to review a D3000 a while back, but I had to return it. Then life happened, and I had a kid and I never really had the money for one.
Then I saw that my [...]

Pictures by a Four Year Old

My daughter loves to take pictures. If I’d let her she’d steal my camera and take pictures of everything. Quite often when I download all our picture onto the computer I find a few random shots that she’s taken.
Here’s some from a couple of weeks ago.

I know we’ve all heard of handkerchiefs, but no one really uses them anymore. There’s a few out there who do, but most people I know just think “ew, gross!” I did too, up till a couple of nights ago.
My daughter had a bad cold, which she has since passed on to me and her [...]
