I Finally Bought a Pair of Sweats

Posted on 18. Nov, 2009 by Trish.

I have not owned a pair of sweatpants since jr high when it was required for PE class.  I hated the elastic at the bottom, so I have avoided them ever since.
The other day I was at Target, however, and saw they had Hanes sweats for under $7 and randomly looked at pair of pants.  [...]

Are You a Morning Person, or a Night Person?

Posted on 16. Nov, 2009 by Trish.

I am definitely a night person.  I have such a hard time getting up in the mornings.
In high school I had an early morning church class that was before school called seminary.  The regular early morning class started at 6am, but I was taking an early morning class in school too, so school started at [...]

What Are Your Kids “Must Have” Holiday Gifts?

Posted on 12. Nov, 2009 by Trish.

This is the first year we are actually thinking about gifts to buy for our daughter for Christmas.  Last year we traveled out of state and knew my parents were spoil her anyways, so we didn’t really buy anything for her.  The year before she was too little to understand.
This year, however, she will be [...]

Game Night

Posted on 09. Nov, 2009 by Trish.

Last night my husband and I decided to play some games.  We had been given Spiderman Monopoly for Christmas last year and have never even opened it.

In fact, I can’t remember the last time I really played Monopoly.  Growing up we used to play it on my Grandma’s computer, but we’d cheat and make sure [...]

My Daughter is Afraid of My Grandparents

Posted on 06. Nov, 2009 by Trish.

Once a month my grandparents and my aunts, uncles and cousins all get together for a family dinner.  Last month it was at my grandparents house.  That is where my parents usually stay when they come up to visit, and my daughter had been there many times.

This time, however, it was different.  We walked into [...]

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Posted on 03. Nov, 2009 by Trish.

I’ve wanted to make roasted pumpkin seeds the past couple of years, but my husband is not a fan of carving pumpkins.  I know I bought one last year, but we never did anything with it.  It just sat out in the snow and froze until we threw it away.

This year I was determined we [...]

Not Yet Sweetheart

Posted on 26. Oct, 2009 by Trish.

Today as I was getting dressed at 10:00 am (yeah, I like to hang out in my pjs for a while)    my daughter comes in and decides she wants to wear a bra too.  She kept saying “On! On!” and threw a fit when I didn’t put one on her.

I really don’t think [...]

Back to the Crib

Posted on 19. Oct, 2009 by Trish.

Well, my daughter did really well sleeping in her bed for a while.  The past couple of weeks here she has decided, however, that she doesn’t want to sleep in her bed, she wants to sleep in her crib.

In fact, she has learned to climb INTO her crib.  Most kids climb out of it, but [...]

Her First Happy Meal

Posted on 16. Oct, 2009 by Trish.

I finally gave my 2 year old her first happy meal yesterday.  Now, we don’t eat a lot of fast food.  In fact, it’s a rare occasion when it happens.  And I’m fine with that.  I think it’s ok to have every now and then, but really, I try to avoid it.
Well, yesterday I was [...]

Halloween and Costumes

Posted on 13. Oct, 2009 by Trish.

Everywhere I go I see Halloween costumes.  I had to run to the fabric store a few times recently and the cutting tables were a madhouse.  You had to grab a number when you first got there, and then go do your shopping and still wait in line for 15 minutes to wait for your [...]
