A date night with a little boy means pizza, ice cream AND a cookie, go-cart races, video games, prizes, and mom and dad. Knowing that each of our kids are special, unique and individuals, we try to set aside time for one on one with Mommy and Daddy for each of them. Right after Lucy was born, we got to take Caedmon to see Cars 2 at the movie theater [ Read More ]
I have this basket. It’s a great basket. It always has in it things that I love…throw blankets, hats and scarves, my baby’s toys…and today? What’s in the basket you ask? It’s blocks. Wooden alphabet blocks, little ones and bigger ones; a wooden set of building blocks and foam alphabet puzzle pieces. It’s a basket full of blocks. And those blocks have endless possibilities. We build tall towers. We build [ Read More ]

When Caedmon was a baby, his first bites weren’t homemade, but eventually, I was making everything he ate with the exception of a few jars of bought food to take with us on the go. Lucy’s first bites have all been from my kitchen and that excites me. It’s SO EASY to make the baby food too! Here’s the simplicity of how I make everything for Lucy… BANANAS – mash [ Read More ]
Caedmon is 3 and oh my, is it all everyone said it would be. He’s trying to figure out his place, his independence, his boundaries and his favorite word is “no!” Needless to say, it’s a daily struggle, but it’s only a season and my amazing little boy peeks through and makes me smile everyday! We bought a Magnetic Responsibility Chart from Melissa and Doug while Caedmon was still a [ Read More ]
From day one, Caedmon has been an amazing sleeper…slept through the night (12 hours) from 8 weeks on…took 2 2-3 hour long naps from 8 months until well past his 2nd birthday… …but since turning three it’s a different story.
