May your days be merry and bright! I know this little guy--despite being a whole heap of work--has made our life much, much brighter! And next week, he turns 1!  Stay tuned for photos of the extravaganza!

Catching Up!

How sad! It's Christmas Eve-Eve and I'm uploading a Halloween picture! I am notoriously bad for letting photos sit on a memory card forever and never getting them printed! This is from Alex's first Halloween, obviously. We had just moved into our new neighborhood about 1 week earlier. Taking the kid around to collect candy was a nice way to get out and meet the new neighbors--and get some candy for mom!

These boots are made for walking!

I just ordered these from Nine West. They are sold out at Macy's, Amazon, and Zappos. Hope they fit!

Gettin' Organized

A few months ago I purchased a LV Neverfull.  It can hold my files for court, cloth diapers, snacks, etc.  It's NEVERFULL!  However, it's not that easy to find anything since the bag has became my life's catchall.  Recently, on a rainy afternoon, Alex and I decided to check out a small grocery in our new neighborhood.   It was not all that, so we headed back to the car. I was elbow deep into the Neverfull with one arm and 20lb baby in the other.  The keys were nowhere to be found. I felt like I was playing the strike game on The Price is Right; hoping to pull out the winning number--or keys in this instance.  Despite searching the depths of the Neverfull for what could have very well been 15 minutes, I broke down and called thaKing to come to our rescue since he would undoubtedly be there quicker than AAA (despite the inevitable lecture that AAA does not come with).  So now it's time to get organized so I don't loose my keys, gold Starbucks card, wallet, iPhone, etc.  I found this fantastic item on Etsy.  Etsy has everything! Love it!  

Token Baby Post and Catch Up

Shhhewww, where has the summer gone.  On June 15th we placed our house on the market.  Last Monday we closed on the old house and on our new house.  The last few months were spent keeping our house spotless just in case that potential buyer wanted to stop by and make an offer.  That offer finally came and we spent the next few weeks packing and then moving.  Uhhh moving! How do we accumulate so much STUFF!  Nonetheless, in between all of the hard work, Alex has expanded our social life into the realm of birthday parties!  We've been to three birthday parties in the last three months, all attributable to Alex's little friends.  One party was at the Little Gym.  Being a working mom, I had no idea this place even existed.  Basically it's a padded room with balls, slides and bars to swing on.  I had to get over the germ factor!  It was so great seeing all the babies interact with one another.  Alex's birthday is coming up and hopefully we have the house put together in time for that "first birthday, happy new year, we survived without killing ourselves, each other, or the baby party!".
