Six months. Half a year. How is my sweet baby girl six months old when it feels like only yesterday I was first cradling her in my arms? It is surreal to me how much more quickly time passes as soon as you have a baby. It's like someone presses the fast forward button and you just want to hit pause. Before I get to the update, I want to apologize ...

“Hanging Out” with Sonia Kashuk
A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity via BlogHer, along with several other bloggers, to participate in a Google Hangout with famed makeup artist Sonia Kashuk whose new bath and body product line I reviewed recently. I have also reviewed her satin luxe lipsticks, here. I asked Sonia what her favorite products were from her own makeup line ...
Our Weekend..
On Friday, our daycare held a little pow-wow for the families in each class to hang out and get to know each other and spend more time with the teachers too. It was a potluck so I picked up some fresh-baked cookies from Tiff's Treats. If you've never had them and you're in Houston, Austin or Dallas, I encourage you to order some, post haste! You ...

Our Weekend…
What a great weekend we enjoyed these past two days! Harper's daycare had a fall festival and it was so fun to see all of the other kids and babies enjoying the activities. There was a petting zoo, pony rides, jumpy castle, parks, live music and lots and lots (and lots) of food. The theme was "around the world" and families brought desserts ...
Quick & Easy Holiday DIY Projects
Well, it's November and I'm already breaking out the holiday decor,which you've already seen if you follow me on instagram. I probably won't put my tree up until after Thanksgiving, but I'm enjoying infusing a little holiday cheer into our home early. During Harper's naptime today, I got out some trusty crafting supplies and got to work. I used ...
(A Fresh) Breakfast is the Most Important Meal of the Day
When I moved to the U.S. from Canada, I learned about Panera Bread and have loved it ever since. It's one of my favorite lunch spots and we eat there often enough that my husband gives me a look when he asks where we should eat for lunch and I start to say "Pa..." I'm especially in love with a few items---the Fuji apple chicken salad, ...

Four Month Favorites!
Kick & Piano Mat- though we didn't use this for a very long time because we found our Skip Hop mat to be more versatile, Harper loved this piano mat when she was moving her body more and kicking her legs a lot. It also has toys and a nice mirror that hang from the activity bar. Knowing what I know now I would have gotten this for her when she ...
