Hudson wanted me to point out that he's both free AND brave. Ain't that the truth. Maybe a little too brave.  Why can't three day weekends happen a little more often? Like....every week or so? We spent the weekend trying to stay cool (it got HOT and HUMID) and taking care of this little lady. She has been very brave. Sadie's ... Read More

*This post is brought to you by UPtv, all opinions are my own.  What, you didn't know I was a member of the Braverman family? Ha. The bag says it, so it must be true, right? If you've been following me for a while, you know one of my all time favorite shows is Parenthood. I CRIED during so many of the episodes, and totally lost it ... Read More

I love this boy. Having a boy means trucks, dirt, light saber fights, lots of running and jumping, and constant love and affection. One little smile and he just kills me. Hudson has me wrapped around his little finger. And he knows it.  One thing I didn't know about boys is that they can be pretty picky about their clothes. Everything I ... Read More

It's happened. We've reach that point where Sadie wants to be everywhere and do everything that Hudson does....except minus one important skill: Walking. Girlfriend wants to do all the things...but could care less about actually walking while doing them.  I didn't go through this with Hudson. First, he was our only child so he didn't ... Read More

This is a project of The Women Bloggers and Kendal King Group on behalf of Gerber, but my love for their products is all my own! I did it. I finally managed to create a somewhat healthy cookie that the whole family loves!  These cookies are soft, sweet, and packed with some good stuff. I certainly don't mind letting my kids have ...

Now that we are somewhat settled in our new house, I'm going to be sharing several of the rooms with all of you....and since the kitchen is the ONLY room that is done, let's start there! (sources at the bottom) When we started the design process I knew four things:  1. I wanted a white kitchen 2. I wanted a subway tile backsplash 3. ... Read More

I like to think I've smartened up a bit now that I'm a mom of two from almost a whole year. But probably not. One thing I've learned is that there is no such thing as being over prepared when it comes to stepping foot out of the house with kids. Too many times I've been out without something essential that we need....like diapers, or a sippy cup, ... Read More

As a busy mom of two, finding time for myself is hard. And now that I stay home with my children, it seems like every second of my day is accounted for. I'm the main chef, maid, stick figure artist, playtime coach, ouchie kisser, snuggler, grocery shopper, story teller, song singer, chauffeur, diaper changer, and snotty nose wiper.  And ...

I'm in major denial that this little lady is almost ONE whole year old. 11 months old as of yesterday. Is this real life? It's going by SO fast. Sadie is on the move all the time and it's getting harder and harder to get her to stay still for a picture. Mama has to move fast.  Sadie has had a rough week thanks to our friend hand, foot, ...

The countdown to Sadie's first birthday has begun! I can't even believe my sweet baby is already almost one whole year old.  I realized when I started unpacking her room that we didn't have many books that weren't about trucks, cars, or bulldozers. So I thought it was time to get Sadie some books of her own! And I want to share a few of our ... Read More
