It’s been a few months since I last participated in Munchkin Meals but I had a nice reminder yesterday on my friend Kim’s Instagram account that today is the day! I also luckily snap so many photos of Edith eating or of her meals that it worked out that I have quite a bit to … [Read more…]
We just returned from a whirlwind trip to Central Virginia and I honestly had no idea what to expect when it came to entertaining Edith on a 5+ hour flight. I didn’t want to load my new and extra large diaper bag up too much since I was going to have to carry it around … [Read more…]

Summer is officially here and we are soaking up every second of it. We even started a new weekly routine of heading out to Sauvie Island to Kruger’s Farm for their weekly music night. I wasn’t able to attend last week with Edith and Neil but this week I was all about it and we … [Read more…]
I know that throwing My Super Sweet 16 style first birthdays are all the rage right now but honestly it’s not our thing. Instead we are going a much more simplistic route and are keeping things pretty relaxed this year. My parents are here visiting and we will take Edith out to do a few … [Read more…]
