Back in March I put together a post of the lessons I had learned as a new momma {up to that point}.  This morning {five months later}, I reread the post and couldn’t help but chuckle at the things that “stressed me out” in the beginning.  Wow, I was narotic {and I kinda still am}–but isn’t that my right as a new momma? Let’s revisit my “lessons learned” in the first 8 months of Baby W’s life, shall we: {Lil W 8 months old} I have officially been {…Read More…}

And I’m not talking about your toddlers race car bed–that would be normal {by my standards}. I’m talking about squishing into the fetal position and climbing into your 1 year olds play pen in hopes of stopping his piercing cries that have endured for the last hour… Because that’s where I was tonight. Curled up. Like a baby. {…Read More…}

Favorite “Home” Themed Projects and Tutorials It’s been decided. Operation “Revamp the LMM Residence” is in full swing. This means there will be lots and lots of sanding, painting, hanging, rearranging, organizing and very little ‘buying’ going on around these parts over the next few weeks. I am determined to make this a DIY home revamp instead of an AMEX home revamp. And with that in mind, I needed to find a little home decorating inspiration from my peeps out in the blogosphere.  Here are {…Read More…}
