Each moment with my Itty Bitty is a perfectly precious one. I know I’m a little biased, but he is just so damn cute. I could honestly spend hours holding him as he sleeps, while I play with his tiny toes and tiny fingers, or sing him to sleep. However, being a new mom does more »

What To Pack In Your Maternity Hospital Bag
As of 35 weeks of being pregnant, my doctor had asked hubby and I to make sure our hospital bag was packed. Thank goodness we too her advice, because our tiny baby decided to show up a couple of weeks early! There are tons of long lists out there, but I thought I’d give it more »
Weight Gain During Pregnancy
“Please step in the scale.” The aforementioned words terrify me. God, I actually can’t wait to not hear those words once month/twice a month/and soon to be once a week. For when I do hear them, fear rushes through me as if I were back at Weight Watchers meetings. Those WW receptionists, oh those WW more »
How To Throw A Breakfast For Dinner Party
We held our third annual Breakfast for Dinner Party this weekend. It was originally scheduled for February, but a blizzard got in the way. Damn you, Nemo. Oddly enough, our Breakfast for Dinner Party finds it’s origins in a major snow storm we had three years ago. We had people over one night and coincidentally more »
Importance Of Staying Social During Pregnancy
Between acid reflux, my new friend Braxton Hicks (a real one sided relationship if you ask me), not fitting in 99% of my wardrobe, and doctors appointments that appear from nowhere like the genie in Alladdin, being a social human being during my third trimester is difficult.

Our Last Valentine's Day As A Family Of Two

Instead of dressing up and going to an overdressed overpriced presumptuous restaurant, we dressed in our favorite jeans and t-shirts, and headed off to our local taco shop. I love tacos, and believe that one should eat what they love on Valentine’s Day! After having our delicious dinner, more »
Braving A Snow Storm for Nime Chow
What can I say. I was hungry, and desperately desired Nime Chow. Sure, there was a massive snow storm, but that didn’t stop by itty bitty family. Have you ever had Nime Chow? It’s delicious, and light. Did you ever brave the elements for a craving, pregnancy induced or not? Posted with Blogsy
Star Wars Pancakes – A Christmas Tradition
We have a one year old tradition in my itty bitty family – Star Wars pancakes on Christmas Day! I make the batter, and Blake whips out a skillet. He dons a stylish Star Wars apron, and gets to making some of the most beloved, and feared, characters of all time. They are cute, and more »
A Thanksgiving Tradition – The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
One of my favorite events of the holidays season is the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. I have always loved parades, even as a young child. In high school and college, I participated in my schools’ marching bands, and my appreciation grew even more. Sure, the singers in the Macy’s parade are lip-syncing, but the bands more »
