A Couple Things. And Instagram Collage.


*First, I want to start off by saying thank you to everyone who has introduced themselves on Friday's post. I had so much fun that night and yesterday during nap time reading a little about everyone, who they are, where they're from, and why they read. I have only gotten a chance to reply to a fraction of the people so far, but I'm getting there! Also, there were about 50 people that were no-reply emails... so I wasn't able to reply to some people and answer some questions. Please be sure to check your settings. And if you haven't introduced yourself yet, please do! I'd love to get to know you more.

*We are really enjoying gymnastics. It's a ten week every Saturday class and Elliana thrives in it. We were a bit nervous after the first week because Elliana was over-the-top excited, but she has done so well the past two weeks. It is something we look forward to all week. I'm in the process now of signing her up for swim lessons and dance. Then hopefully soccer in the fall. If you have a toddler who you signed up for soccer, let me know what age you did so and if they enjoyed it! I think Elliana will love it, as one of her favorite things is kicking the ball.

*Little man turned one yesterday. One month, I mean really. His one month post is scheduled for this week. I think on Tuesday.

*The weather around these parts has been in the single digits. Freezing. Needless to say, we have been pretty cooped up and trying to keep ourselves busy with crafts and varies activities. It's still not enough though. I'm ready for warm weather.

*I'm looking for a great dance/activity DVD for Elliana. Any recommendations? I want something she can dance to and it gets her moving {since the weather isn't cooperating}.

*Which reminds me.. I need a recommendation for a workout video. I'm ready to get abs of steel. Tell me what worked for you and how you liked the DVD's that you tried. Thank you in advance!

*Anyone notice anything different on the blog? Yeah yeah, I know I said I wouldn't change it. It's just a slight change. I wanted to freshen things up. I still have a couple more changes coming.... in time.

*I have a fabulous giveaway coming up this week from this cute boutique! Check it out!

*If you are looking for a great valentine's day gift, or looking to get a canvas, check out this deal on eversave. You get a 16x20 canvas for $36 and this includes free shipping. I have used this company for a couple canvases in our home and have been pleased each time.

*I have tons to talk about around here. Lots of talk about life with two, how things are different, some funny posts, and more. I'm not sure why anyone even listens to my rambles or why I feel the need to blabber so much... but hey they are scheduled and coming. Hopefully I will get a lot of questions answered that people have emailed me about.

That's all I have. Happy Sunday :)

  1. The 30 Day Shred and Ripped in 30, both by Jillian Michaels are some of the best workout DVDs I've seen. Ripped in 30 is much harder I think. They're only 20 minutes and you just need some hand weights. Got me back in bikini shape after 2 kids!

  2. Look up Amanda Russell on YouTube - she has a 6 minute ab video that I do twice a few times a week and can really tell a difference!

  3. A few things. First of all, I love the small change to the layout. What I am trying to figure out is how you know everything about...everything. haha. You are super mama, nurse, wife, blogger genius, and layout designer. I mean, what DON'T you do? Teach me your ways :)

    Another thing, that video you posted of Elliana the other day saying "oops" was the cutest thing ever. I probably clicked play at least 5 times.


    I can't believe it's been a MONTH since baby Graham has been on this little Earth. He is so precious. Now stop making me want a baby! ;)

  9. First of all - Wow on trying to write back everyone who commented on your post the other day! That is amazing. I think I must be one who doesn't have their settings right and can't seem to figure it out. Any tips?

  16. I introduced myself on your other post and I think I was one of the ones that didn't have their settings right. I think I have it fixed now. I had no idea I even had to set that. Thanks for making me aware.
