Sharing Yogurt

You can always find Griffin trailing behind his sister.  If she is standing by the coffee table, he is crawling over to stand next to her. When she runs across the room, he is slowing following her.  When she is sitting at the table eating a snack, he is standing next to her chair begging […]

Weight Loss Report for January

by Kristi on February 2, 2009 · 2 comments


It’s February! Which means… January is OVER and I lost two pounds this month! Woop woop!  I didn’t think I was going to loose anything, my scale was not budging the first three weeks but the last week, things moved down. It always seems to happen that way for me.  I’m not sure if it’s […]

Friday Funny

by Kristi on January 30, 2009 · 4 comments


Sam is a whiz at my iPhone. She has some games that I’ve downloaded on there that she adores playing. She also likes clicking through all my other buttons. Including the camera. She has been a little photographer lately, taking pictures of things.  I’ve skimmed through them before deletion and some of them are actually […]

This week, tell us about your first job. As I recently twittered, I worked at the Jelly Bowl Bakery in bucolic Buffalo Grove, Ill., and will write further about this learning and buttercreamy experience tomorrow, but for now, I want to hear about you. Tell me why you no longer have the use of your […]

It Must Be Monday…

by Kristi on January 26, 2009


Ooh, I was so proud of myself this morning from distancing my temper from Sam’s temper. Yea, did that make sense? Well, anyway, EVERY MORNING she throws a big fit about getting dressed and changing her diaper. It has been this way for soooo long. We are just stuck in this huge rut that is […]

What is Your Fantasy?

by Kristi on January 21, 2009 · 2 comments


I love sitting around and fantasizing… Which is why I buy lottery tickets, of course.  Where did your mind just go? There is seriously nothing better than picking up a lottery ticket and immediately figuring out where you will be spending your prize.  There is the money that will go to family and friends (yep, […]

What a Fantastic Day

by Kristi on January 20, 2009 · 4 comments


I know it’s been covered so many places but… HOORAY!!! Wasn’t that Inauguration fantastic??  I just loved watching the crowds in DC, over 2 million people in the Mall, I think?  Knowing that so many people were watching at home or streaming it live over the Internet.  If anyone wants the text of his speech […]

I ran into San Diego Momma on the interwebz last week and was laughing and identifying with so many of her posts.  I immediately added her to my Google Reader.  She’s pretty darn funny, go over and visit. She has a fun little exercise called PROMPTuesday where she has a question of some kind and […]

PMS’ing?

by Kristi on January 19, 2009 · 3 comments


This is just funny! Announce your PMS via e-mail from MOMformation. PMSBuddy is a site that will alert your friend and family when you are PMSing. And yes, the ‘National Alert Levels’ is hysterical.  Luckily it’s a 1 on the overall threat level! hahahha

Hmm, embedding the video doesn’t work. Here it is on YouTube instead. 🙂 I was playing with my Flip video 🙂  No editing, I just uploaded them but they are a cute watch. Raechelle is HILARIOUS just sitting on top of the car garage and CharChar and G are just wandering around as well.

Multiple Kids, Multiple….

by Kristi on January 6, 2009 · 6 comments


I was just reading Tiffani’s blog post on figuring out if it is harder going from 1 to 2 kids, or going from 2 to 3 kids.  Since she is 30 weeks preggo with her third child, I wish her all the luck in the world. 🙂 hahaha Also, since I only (only?) have two […]

Redesigned Diaper Champ Stinks

by Kristi on January 5, 2009 · 1 comment


I have a lot of friends who have become pregnant over the years and since I have a lot of opinions to give (…hahaha) you usually see me recommending the Baby Trend Diaper Champ to people. The thing is, we purchased the Diaper Champ in 2005. We actually purchased two. We have one in our […]

My favorite genre of romance is historical novels which is why Philippa Gregory is a perfect author for me. Her novels are beautiful works of of fiction but with most of the historical facts correct.  Some things she will change to suit the fictional side of things and she will tell you in her author […]

Effect of the CPSIA

by Kristi on January 4, 2009 · 1 comment


I keep reading more and more about the new CPSIA (Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act) Law going into effect on February 10, 2009 and I feel so bad for all the people who currently make a living off of making or selling children’s clothes and toys. I was reading about it on BabyCheapskate this morning. […]
