Room Remix

8:00 AM baby, home, nursery, organization, our first house, scrap room, toddler room 7 comments

For a while I have been thinking about moving Dylan to a new room. Originally he was in the larger of our 2 extra bedrooms and shared space with the full size guest bed. This worked really well at times particularly when he was sick in December and he & I spent nearly a full 48 hours in there together. It was nice to be able to tuck us both into the big bed and have all of his stuff (diapers, medicine, etc) at hand.As he's grown (and we've...

10 Months

8:00 AM baby, Dylan, family, milestones 6 comments

Another month full of firsts and new adventures. It's such fun watching Dylan grow and a little bittersweet - it seems like time is already passing too quickly. * Still in love with self-feeding. Current favorite foods are peas and cantaloupe. I wonder if the latter comes from all I ate during pregnancy! LOL New to his menu this month - quinoa, blueberries, pineapple, hamburger, and roast beef. * First tailgating and baseball...

NC Museum of Art

8:00 AM baby, Dylan, family, Triangle Area 1 comment

Dylan and I ventured out with friends yesterday to get a little culture and check out the new building at the NC Museum of Art. It just opened a couple of weeks ago so we considered ourselves pretty cutting edge to make it so soon. ;) With two little guys under age 1, we had to keep the strollers moving. I plan to go back for a more leisurely adult only visit in the future, but I think the boys enjoyed all the new sights even if they...

Hope all the mommies had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday. I asked my sweet boy for a hug and got several so I considered myself pretty lucky. :) Here's the card I sent to my mom: I made it a few months ago at a Stamp A Stack workshop taught by my friend, Bonnie. She came up with some wonderful card designs for us to create and all of the pieces were ready to go. I just had to stamp and piece together -...

CSN Giveaway

4:40 PM giveaway, reviews 42 comments

I love shopping. I love going to the mall. But there are days, I confess, when I don't feel like packing the diaper bag, lugging the stroller, and heading out. I recently found a very simple answer to getting my shopping done without leaving the house and without searching all over the internet - CSN Stores. With over 200 online stores, I like to think of it as my online mall. Their products range from bar furniture to briefcases, cookware...

Good thing I picked up these while Dylan & I were shopping on Monday - I can just barely see the top of his second tooth (bottom right center) about to pop through. Happy almost Wordless Wednesday! :) ...

DIY: Crib Teething Rail Cover

1:10 PM baby, DIY projects, Dylan, home, nursery, sewing, tutorial, under $20 10 comments

Last year, my mom gave us a gorgeous crib for Dylan. It converts into a toddler bed and later a full size bed. Recently, it has been obvious that we might soon end up with a lot of teeth marks in the foot board as Dylan has discovered it is perfect for teething: Wanting to protect it, I started searching online for quilted teething crib rail covers. I found only two options and quickly realized they would not work for our crib due to it's wide...
