Before living in North Carolina, we lived in Virginia for a short period of time. Coming from Texas where the girls are all did up with big hair, lots of makeup and sparkly clothes and shoes, and then suddenly planting yourself down into a state that considers itself “the south” when really it’s just the East Coast with a little less EAST in it, can be quite the shocker. I will openly admit that I am NOT as East Coast girl. I like bling, I like big Texas hair, I like fake tans, I like thick Texas accents and friendly people who wave at you when you pass them on …
When I first found out I was pregnant I went into baby item overload, buying the majority of what I thought I needed in a month of all things baby craziness. No joke, I was on the local yard sales sites 24-7 and every Saturday morning I was up and out the door at 6 patrolling the area yard sales like a professional shopper, which I am not at all normally. I guess preparing for a baby brought out the bargain shark in me!
I love secondhand things, and love the prices even more, so I didn’t think twice about purchasing used stuff. I think the only things I bought new were some soft crib sheets and several bottles! So when a friend mentioned …
I recently purchased a walker for Gus at an online resale shop only to find out he can’t STAND it. BUT, my $10 didn’t go to waste because Isaak, who is quite the accomplished walker, loves to use it! It may very well be his most favorite toy right now as he runs around the house in it, smashing into walls, furniture, and toes…ouch. I think it’s the funniest thing to watch him go so I had to share!!
Sweet dreams lovey love!
Not too long after I announced to the world that my sweet baby was sleeping through the night, she started not sleeping through the night. It was so nice of her to wait till after I boasted to my group of friends that “Yes, my baby sleeps through the night. Oh, yours doesn’t? Awww, poor you. I know, I’m so lucky. Yes, she’s such a good baby.”
She must’ve heard those conversations and was like “Oh no Mother, remember when you made me cry in my bassinet for a whole half a minute? Well take this!”
Recently she started waking up in the …
Can’t wait to see how this hair misadventure turned out? If you didn’t catch part 1, please read it here.
So after Isaac had a whole new world to look at, through his unobstructed new hairstyle, I realized that although he could see better and was no longer hollering, we had a little problem.
Ok, it was a tad uneven, but the bigger problem was…he had a mullet! Aww how cute, just like his Daddy–wait, no way, I don’t think so! I had to remedy the solution quick before Chris saw it and wanted to keep Isaac mulleted out.
I grabbed the hand dandy scissors once again, and began to trim the …
SUNDAY, Aug. 1 (HealthDay News) – Experts have long known that sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is more common in boys than girls, but a new study suggests that gender differences in levels of wakefulness are not to blame.
In fact, the researchers found that infant boys are more easily aroused from sleep than girls.
“Since the incidence of SIDS is increased in male infants, we had expected the male infants to be more difficult to arouse from sleep and to have fewer full arousals than the female infants,” senior author Rosemary S.C. Horne, a senior research fellow at the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia, said in a news release. “In …
