The weeks are seeming to fly by lately, which is a bittersweet thing. As excited as I am to meet my little girls in just five and a half weeks (crazy!), I’m trying to not rush it along so that I can soak up all the one on one moments I have left with Baylen. …
Thank You!
Happy Saturday, Everyone! I wanted to take a few minutes this morning and simply say THANK YOU to all of you who have read and supported Mommy’s Me Time so far. We’ve been going for a little over a month, and I have been so encouraged by your comments, emails, and messages. This week Mommy’s Me Time …
DIY: Valentine’s Day Photo Bookmarks
I’ve never been very good at sending out cards for various occassions. In fact, I’m lucky if I get birthday cards out in time or at all. However, it’s something I’m working on and hope to get better at. I think having kids makes this a little easier because it’s so fun to mail out …
Exercises for a Better Butt: Wall Squats
After an indulgent day of peanut butter cookies and french silk pie, I’m ready to put the birthday treats behind me and am excited for Baylen to get up from his morning nap so we can make our way to the gym today. To continue with the Exercises for a Better Butt series, the move …
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies
Every once in a while a cookie recipe comes along that’s over the top delicious. Last year when we were still living in Chicagoland my friend Leah made these Reese’s peanut butter cookies and brought them to playgroup. They’re pretty big and I remember grabbing half of one, trying to not indulge myself too much. …
10 Seconds
Jake and I have spent a lot of time talking about how to prioritize our marriage in the midst of raising a family. When we found out we were pregnant, we started to come up with a game plan as to how we would continue to make time for each other. We made a pact …
Moments Mommy Captured: 2/3/2013
Happy Super Bowl Sunday! This momma is home a bit early from the party we were at to put my sweet babe to sleep. Bay is usually in bed by 7:30, so he was definitely to his breaking point by the time we got home around 9:00. Thankfully we were just down the street so …
How to Successfully Implement a Cleaning Schedule
Now that we’ve been living in our new home for a couple months, I’m finally in a comfortable groove and have developed a cleaning schedule that fits our house. When my house is clean, I feel like I have a freedom to focus on and enjoy my family without the piles of laundry and dust …
Exercises for a Better Butt: Side Leg Raises
I read an article recently in which a trainer said that 99% of the women he works with want to have tighter buns. I can’t say this surprised me, since the media is constantly highlighting who has the best back side and fitness magazines are full of routines that claim to give you a tighter …
Cinnamon Sugar Bagels
One of the many things I love about living in Minnesota again is that we have a Bruegger’s Bagels just a couple miles from our house. We were deprived of this luxury when we lived in Chicagoland! Their cinnamon sugar bagels are to die for. Since anything with cinnamon sugar seems to be a consistent …
