The Chicago Bean

Last week I went to Kolcraft in Chicago with Sarah, Christine, and Valerie. (Shared a little here, read especially if you'll be at BlogHer) Kolcraft did a great job at letting us see the city. I've been to Chicago several times before but I've never been to the bean. I thought it was pretty cool. Here I'm standing under the bean. I had to take a picture with sweet little Sawyer … [Read more...]

Homemade Strawberry Fruit Popsicles #tropimommas

Since having a baby I've had to slap my own hand a few times as my kids reached into the freezer this hot, hot summer. I've been trying to stay cool but many of the sweet treats aren't the best thing for my waist line. The kids & I thought it would be fun if we made some of our kind of popsicles. Grab your blender and about 3 cups of strawberries and one banana. Cut up and place in … [Read more...]

Mott’s Fruit Flavored Snacks {Review & Giveaway} FOUR WINNERS #MyBlogSpark

Gavin is my snacker. Which makes meal time hard. Especially when it seems there are so many snacks out there but in reality they are just junk and fillers. I want him to be able to have snack and enjoy the snacks he picks. Of course as a mom I would be delighted if all he ever snacked on was fruits but realistically when he sees all the treats the other kids pack for camps and school he wants them … [Read more...]

Four Months Old {Sawyer James}

Time is flying. FOUR MONTHS! Can you believe it. I wish I could just freeze time and hold my sweet little baby forever and ever. We're about to leave the helpless baby stage and move on to solids, sitting, rolling, etc and as excited I am to see him learn and grow I'm saddened to know He the last itty bitty one I'll have to hold. That just means I need to hold on and cherish every … [Read more...]
