News around here!

Do you remember the first time you rode your bike with NO training wheels? I really don't but I can only imagine that feeling in knowing you are now the coolest kid around! Daddy decided to take off Numero Uno's training wheels and was planning to run behind him of course, but Numero Uno TOOK OFF like he had been riding a bike forever! Here is our fun video of the coolest kid on the block (and please notice the little "ham" that has to make an appearance!)

And this precious thing is doing so much better - without giving you too much detail, they switched her formula to soy so I don't really know what that means especially since we are about to start on whole milk? Whatever it means...it's working!

Stay Tuned for some fun Thanksgiving posts!

Missed y'all!

Sorry i've been M.I.A. lately but for the past 13 days we have been dealing with diarrhea from my baby girl. It's been going on for so long now (13 days) that we have pretty much ruled out a stomach bug! We have now tested for C-Diff, E-coli, rotavirus, giardia and other parasites I can't pronounce. We've added probiotics to her bottles to no avail. We haven't changed any of her diet so we don't think it's allergies....anyway, after 13 days of this (and me calling the pediatrician's office at least twice a day!) they have decided to put her on an antibiotic that only stays in the intestines? I don't know - I'm just glad they are doing SOMETHING! The stool samples (sorry i just said stool) aren't conclusive yet so we are still waiting to hear on those. She takes this antibiotic for 3 days and if it doesn't do the trick, then we'll be headed to a GI doc. Please pray for that post not to occur. Thanks!

I caught this picture of Little Man who NEVER just crashes - he is full speed all day long! As i took this picture I just thought to myself "now that is how I feel right about now"

missed y'all!

Tis the Season!

Tis the season to be jolly! Christmas is around the corner! I know you all know Darby from Fly through our Window....If you don't - you are HIGHLY missing out and it's not too late to start enjoying her fun blog!

Anyway, she is doing a virtual shopping trip/Christmas list down her sidebar of advertisers and Noteworthy is one of them!

Plus, she has got some great, great companies like Smitten & Co. who carry this precious shirt that I WILL be purchasing for baby girl....I'm wondering could she have too many Christmas outfits?

And Molly Caroline Designs has precious, precious stuff where I need to STEP AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER!!!!

Just look at all of their fun Christmas designs!!!!! I want to buy baby girl one for each day of the month! I know....I have a problem!

AND...each advertiser is offering special discounts so definitely go check it out!

I'm off to count baby girl's Christmas outfits before I get out of control.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from our Goblins to yours!!!!

A few of my favorite "Fall" things...

I'm loving this Fall weather (although the cold rain today put me in a complete funk where I wanted to stay under a blanket all day!)

I love the color of the trees (pic of my backyard tree coming soon!), the chill in the air and all the oranges and browns everywhere.



These are a few of my favorite things this Fall:

International Delight's Pumpkin Pie Spice Creamer




I actually get excited about getting out of bed (more so than normal!) to come down and get my cup of coffee with this yummy creamer! You can even print a coupon for it here!

Dunkin Donuts Pumpkin Muffin

I'm also LOVING the Pumpkin muffin from Dunkin Donuts and would want one every morning if it wasn't 560 CALORIES!!!!! But it's only here for a short while so enjoy while you can!!!

Aunt Sadie's Autumn Leaves Candle

Read the description and you'll see why I like it:

A symphony from nature: winds gusting while dropped leaves dance. And inside all is calm as Aunt Dot’s pumpkin pie cools. Pumpkin Scented Candle. An Aunt Sadie’s Favorite.

It makes my entire house smell delicious!

LOVING when these two share:

....it's so rare I had to catch it on camera!

And last but not least....LOVING the anticipation of dressing this cutie up for Halloween. And no, she will not be a pirate but something VERY GIRLY!

Imagine that!

What are you guys loving this Fall?

Happy Fall Y'all!

When you are a family of five with the fifth being a "little one" and by little, I mean under 12 months - it doesn't matter if four out of the five want to stay out late or go do something after bedtime....the fifth usually can't hang.

But last night we loaded up our three goblins and went to eat at one of my favorite restaurants

If you don't recognize the canoe BAR, then you haven't been there. It's Swallow at the Hollow and it's unbelievable barbecue - think awesome chopped pork, homemade mac and cheese and butternut squash that's to die for. Anyway, I digress!

Friday night we had big plans to walk Canton street and see the fun scarecrows. Downtown historic Roswell has organizations, schools and local businesses decorate them and place them along the streets. Our plans didn't work out so well friday night when Numero Uno got sick so we took them Saturday night!

So after our delicious dinner, we walked Canton Street with the kiddos and saw some fun scarecrows! We didn't see many because it was FREEZING and we were worried about baby girl!

The sign says "Always a party on Canton Street"

I loved this one for a Hair Salon - Hilites anyone? YES ME PLEASE!

The grays are coming in way too fast!

Are you wondering what Little Man is wearing? It was so cold and he had no coat so I put a shirt of mine on him that just happened to be in the car!

If near the Roswell/Alpharetta area, you should really check out the scarecrows!

Happy Fall Y'all!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Most of you know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and everyone is finding ways to give back.

One of the stationery lines I carry (Polka Dot Pear) has a complete Pink Ribbon line which you can check out here. For the most part, each design comes in notecards, enclosure cards, round labels, square labels and notepads. I've picked a few of my favorites for the blog!

For the friend raising money for the Breast Cancer 3-Day

For the mother of three who is a survivor

for the teenager who wants to honor someone

For the grandmother who still believes in writing thank you'sFor the family who's been dealing with this horrible disease

During the month of October, when you place your order with me, I will take 20% off each order from the pink ribbon line so you can use that money and give back however you wish!
