Baby Let's Go Outside! 2008-12-03 07:06:00 Last year snow...This year snow...We went and bought another pair of boots to give this white stuff another try. This time...SHE LOVED IT! We both played outside for about 20 minutes (it was so cold) and I had to bribe her to come in with hot cocoa. I am so happy she loves it now. I hate being cold but when that little face is plastered against the window and then she turns and looks at you an Read more:Outside

Not Me! Monday 2008-11-30 13:35:00 I am joining in on MckMama's fun!This weekend I did not walk around for over 30 minutes at the store with my top unbuttoned and my nursing bra showing. I did not get embarrassed when I realized that was why that young cute boy was gawking at me for so long and not because I was sporting the MILF look. Nothing says HOT like some leaky boobs!Then I did not walk around aimlessly trying to find a pa Read more:Monday

It was black alright! 2008-11-28 09:52:00 I spent "Black Friday" dreaming into the back of my eyelids. Nope, I didn't rush out with the crowds this year. My sister did. She lined up at Walmart with my uncle at 1:45 to wait in line for tvs. They both got their tvs at 5:00 when the sale started. The hubs wanted the blueray player and they were kind enough to just get one for us so we didn't have to get up. I feel the itch to go shopp

The thing that will drive me crazy, send chills down my spine, make me want to rip the skin right off my face, want know what that is?The Hubs f
Chicago or Bust! 2008-11-25 19:46:00 We took the kiddos downtown today to the Shed Aquarium. I know this picture isn't of the Shed...we parked at Solider Field so I couldn't help but take a pic of them outside the Field Museum across the street.It was fun. I didn't realize today was the last "free" day of the year so it was packed. We left the house at 11:00 in the morning. We sat in traffic for almost 2 hours trying to get downt Read more:Chicago

It's all the Crave! 2008-11-22 09:00:00 The Hubs lately loves sunflower seeds. I started cleaning out the pantry yesterday and I think we have every flavor they make. They are all open and spilling out in the pantry. The grossest thing about this....finding the cups filled with spit seeds (I'll spare you a picture).

A letter to Pur 2008-11-21 10:49:00 Dear Pur Water Filter People,My husband and I purchased our first water filter made by you about a year ago. We did it for many reasons not just to jump on the whole "going green" bandwagon. After a few months our filter started acting all crazy shooting water everywhere so we bought a replacement. We thought for sure this $40 was spent wisely because how could two water filters be dysfunctiona

Double No Fun 2008-11-20 13:41:00 In the past two nights LM has slept maybe a total of 4 hours during the night if you combine both nights. Which means I have probably had less than 4 hours in the past 48 because just when I fall asleep he is up screaming again. We went to the doctor today, the diagnosis, double ear infection. BG just got over her ear infection a couple days ago. As I write this right now he is screaming. My p
