Father to be

I haven’t blogged in a few days & the reason is because I just don’t have it in me right now.  My mind has been occupied with thoughts of hope & prayers.

At the start of a new year, the last thing on a person’s mind should be health.  Well, in the perfect world that I wish I [click to continue…]

Jane, Monkey, and Tarzan wish all of you a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Jolly end of December!  Christmas time always brings an overwhelming amount of childhood memories rushing through me.  The excitement.  The happiness.  The joy.  Family. Toys.  Fun.  Some of my best memories growing up were this time of year.  And I know Jane and I will do everything we can to create the same magic for Monkey for many years to come.

Although Monkey won’t really understand what’s going on tomorrow as we’re [click to continue…]

We recorded this awhile back (when Jane was 3 1/2 or 4 months pregnant) and since it’s almost Christmas, I figured we’d post the little song we sang here.

Jane received an email from a woman who had asked if there was an easy way to go back and look at our pregnancy and baby blog posts in order.

I thought I’d post the answer here in case there’s anyone else who would like to do the same.

All you have to do is go to [click to continue…]

Jane and I were getting VERY frustrated with our digital camera.  If Monkey made any tiny movement at all, the picture would come out all blurry.  There were a couple of GREAT shots that we missed out on.  And I just couldn’t deal with it any longer.  Besides, every single day I’d hear Jane say, “Arrrgh!  The picture is blurry!” when she was taking pictures of Monkey.

So, I gave Jane an early Christmas present because [click to continue…]

And there I was.  Sound asleep in bed.  It was around 6:45 in the morning and I awoke to our dog staring up at me crying and whining.  Oh God.  Don’t tell me.  You see, our dog was never the crying-whining type.  But since having Monkey, he must have noticed how when Monkey cries, he gets our attention.

So, over the last few months our dog has regressed and turned into a baby.  He drives us crazy with all of his whining lately.  And like most dogs who may cry because they need to go outside in the morning, our dog [click to continue…]

Here’s a giveaway that any child (and parent) will love!  Barefoot Books has generously offered to give away the Barefoot Books Singalong Gift Collection, which is a $100 value!

I just received these books two days ago & to say that I was impressed is quite an understatement.  What caught my attention about the books were so many things.

The books are such a great size & hardback so that your child can’t tear off the cover.  The colors are so vibrant & occupied Monkey’s attention [click to continue…]

When I was pregnant I put off registering for my baby until the very last minute (or so it seemed).  I was intimidated by all of the baby stores & all of the baby things that I didn’t even know if I needed or not.  Not to mention I wasn’t even sure what some of these baby products did.

It seemed like baby products were a different language – Travel system, umbrella stroller, convertible car seat, and the list goes on and on.  I didn’t know what the heck any of that stuff was & I had no desire to find out until the very last minute.

One day I was out running errands & my husband called.  He said that he just received an email asking if I would [click to continue…]

I love the chance to get a product for free to review for my blog readers, so it was no different when I was contacted by Belly Charms.  I was asked if I would pick a Mother’s Bracelet from her site and then do a review.

Can I just say that I love my blog?!
