Momgone Crazy

These videos made me laugh! If you're a mom, have been pregnant, or are pregnant, Johanna Stein puts a great sense of humor into those nine months of bliss long experience.  I cracked up watching this one because parts of it really rang true for me! Are you a potty-training parent?  Have you seen this commercial ?  My husband and I just saw this recently and it actually made him laugh before me!  If you are going through, or have been through potty-training, you know how true this commercial is.  It may just get you laughing too! Hopefully these clips bring some fun too your day and help you get through the rest of the week! Happy Wednesday! **I apologize for not actually having the videos to view in this post.  I tried to put them on here, but the code just wouldn't work for me. :(  Hopefully the links work fine for you! :)

Since September, when he was going through his phase of watching Caillou e v e r y  d a y, Dustin has been saying he wants snow. "Mom, when it going to snow?" "Mommy, I want snow." "I love snow!" He had a blast last January when it snowed.  Sledding, building snowmen (yes, plural. We had competitions with daddy to see who could build the bigger snowman!), throwing snowballs, and making snow angels.  This year, however, we haven't had o n e  s i n g l e  d a y of snow!  So sad! :( So what did we do?  We took Dustin on his first trip up to Steven's Pass to play in the snow!  While Del, his brother, dad and cousin all went snowboarding and skiing, Dustin and I romped and played in the snow. There isn't really a good place where you are actually a l l o w e d to sled up at Steven's, so while we waited, we made snow angels, threw chunks of snow that we found lying around, watched the skiers and snowboarders, the emergency rescue dog, and drank h...

SOOooo, if you couldn't guess from yesterday's Christmas card post... here's a more direct announcement: **This is the photo I took and sent to my hubby with the message "Looks like Robin tonight!" in the text portion.  We had a deal that if it came out positive, we'd go out to dinner at Red Robin that night.  And yes, I did in fact take the test in the Safeway bathroom and then proceed to the wine aisle for this picture!** No more wine for me for a few months! :)  We are expecting baby number two in June!  Yay! We kept this wonderful little secret under-wraps until recently, when we sent out our Christmas cards (which doubled as announcements).  We decided that we wanted to be "in the clear" and safely into our second trimester before spilling the beans.  Now I get to chronicle this adventure... hopefully... if I can keep up.  So here's my first official "bumpdate"! **Pardon the half naked photos.  I started "recording" the g...

The Paper Mama is at it again! :)  She is hosting her Holiday Photo Challenge again this year, and guess what?  I couldn't be more excited because I actually have an entry this time around!  I wanted to enter last year, but was lost on inspiration and ideas until the very last second.  This year, though?  No lack of! Last year's card: This year's Christmas photo card is also a special announcement.  Yep!  We have big news!  And we waited until the holiday season to share!  What better way to brighten the holidays than with happy news?! So, without any further ado... here is our entry for The Paper Mama's Holiday Photo Challenge! I know that they are a little  really busy, BUT, they get all the messages we wanted to send across.  I am soooooo happy with how these turned out!  I am even happier that when I went to print them at Costco, they worked perfectly and I didn't have to waste any money reprinting anything this year...

Saw this a while ago over on IROCKSOWHAT and had to do it for myself. Just because. 1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?  Hot chocolate. No. Egg nog. With whipped cream and nutmeg. 2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?  He leaves both.  In an ever-so-pretty way, he will set up some on display, wrap some, and stuff the stockings!  Such a creative, stylish, crafty man! ;) 3. Colored lights on tree/house or white?  A mix.  We do colored outside and usually a mix of both on the tree. 4. Do you hang mistletoe?  No. Always wanted to, just haven't paid the $1.99 for a little package in line at the grocery store. 5. When do you put your decorations up?  The. Day. After. Thanksgiving. Right after getting home from Black Friday shopping (yes, I participate!) 6. What is your favorite holiday dish?  My hub's mashed yams. Yum! 7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child?  Playing in the snow.  Sledding.  Making snowmen.  One y...

My baby boy is officially four years old {as of 11:51pm yesterday}.  He is growing up waaaay too fast!  He just needs to STOP!  But, alas, I know this cannot happen.  So I will continue to enjoy these happy/frustrating/new/adventurous/aggravating/exploratory/exciting years while they last. :) Happy Birthday Dustin! We love you! {And you will always be mommy's baby!}
