Do You Want to Party With the Yo Gabba Gabba Crew?!

In my house, music and fun are very important components to our days.  We love to crank the music up and dance around while doing our chores, getting ready to go somewhere or just for fun.  As Lincoln, who is now three, watches tv, I look for fun, educational and appealing shows.  Shows have really [...]



Strike a Pose

Moments in time are captured in photos every single day.  I love looking at photos, even when I don’t know anyone in them! Ever since we had Jada, ten years ago, I have wanted to get professional photos taken of us.  It’s not that quick photo ops of our family aren’t as special but the [...]



Potty Training Update

It has been 11 days since we started the intensive potty training.  Lincoln has been in his undies ever since.  For a few nights, he had diapers on at night in case he peed while sleeping.  One night he requested “no night night diaper!” So I tried it.  He woke up the next morning dry [...]



Weighing On My Shoulders

Life is tough, that is nothing new.  That is true for everyone, whether they are single, married, kids, no kids, young, old, etc.  Lately, I have been really pondering what is truly important in my life.  I know what is at the top of my list, the same thing that always has been there.  My [...]



Glimpses of the Former Me

Before I started working full time, I was the queen of multi-tasking and volunteering and being all around involved….in everything. I was very active in the PTO, Vice President to be exact, I was at the school constantly to volunteer for everything and anything, I was the team mom for Chuckie’s football team, I was running [...]



Love and Basketball

I love that movie, by the way.  If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it.  Anyway, Chuckie is into his basketball season and he is doing okay.  Not as well as last year but it is still early on and he has a different coach.  One that isn’t as aggressive as last year.  He [...]



The White Stuff

During December, we were getting some cold days and some unseasonably warm days.  I was liking the warm days but at the same time, I was starting to miss the snow that we usually have.  Growing up in this area (Western PA) you get accustomed to having snow in the winter, along with the other [...]



Happiest Holiday Season in Years

I am so ready for Christmas.  I don’t mean that I am ready for it all to be over.  Usually, that is how I feel every year around this time.  I am usually so stressed out about how I am going to finish it all and how I am going to have gifts for everyone [...]



Curveball

I’m done whining, I really am! After complaining that daycare was taking my paychecks away from me, I decided to look in the paper for any daycare or childcare providers that might be a little less expensive to help us out.  I didn’t find anything but I did see an ad for a daycare hiring a [...]



Good Things!

I got a call this morning that is going to change our lives.  I got the job that I was hoping to get!  I will be starting on Monday morning!  I also told them that I cannot work next Friday due to our plans to go to Kennywood and he was fine with that!!  My current [...]
