Raising A "Child-Creature"?
Each day Dyce gets a “report card” from his daycare. It basically lets us know what he ate, how long he napped and any other pertinent information regarding items needed or occasional behavioral issues.  Brad and I love to laugh at the comments left by his teachers; not because they are ridiculous, but because we feel that while his teachers believe they are commenting on his...

Mind Over Matter
If I remember correctly, it was the morning after my 27th birthday. I knew it had happened by the way I felt. Greasy french fries and a Gatorade just weren’t doing the trick. There was no bouncing back. It happened virtually overnight…. I had aged. I wasn’t happy about it. Looking back I think my body was trying to tell me it was time to grow up. After all, I had to stop living like I was 21. I...

Mini Home Tour Part 1.
I was recently thinking about how few pictures Brad and I have of the previous places we lived. It made me realize that we have very few of our home now (other than the few of Dyce that just happen to show a little in the background). I thought I would share a few pictures of our little home! Brad and I bought this house a little over two years ago. It was built in the 1960’s and is...

Over and Over Again.
This weekend my husband was out of town. He left Thursday morning for an annual golf tournament with his buddies in Florida so I was playing the role of single mama for a few days. It didn’t take long for me to realize how much I missed him and how much having him around helps me with Dyce but as the weekend progressed I started to realize how much Dyce and I needed this time together. We haven’t...

Elephant In The Room
Siri has become my personal assistant. It happened almost immediately after we were introduced. She was the perfect fit for me and me for her. Do I have any meetings today, Siri? Can you remind me to start the dishwasher when I get home? Remind me to get my oil changed next Friday. Today Siri and I had our first fight. Siri, can you schedule a meeting with Brooke at 10:30 Monday morning? Jenn,...

Never Build Marriage With A Deck Of Cards
Marriage can be tough sometimes. Throw a baby in the mix and it can really complicate things. I feel like I don’t talk about my marriage much on this blog, mainly because much of my marriage has revolved around Dyce for the past year. I’ll be honest, Brad and I haven’t done a good job with balancing our relationship as a couple with our relationship as parents. Before Dyce was born I remember...

Stephanie Egan Photography Giveaway!
This past Sunday Brad, Dyce and I finally updated our family portraits! We had not had professional pictures taken of the three of us since the week Dyce was born. Our sweet friend, Stephanie, took the photos and as the shoot progressed I became more and more grateful of the fact that she is an actual friend! She was SO patient and understanding (as always) and even helped us out when a little...

Amazement In The Mundane
Brad had to work late yesterday and I knew our house was completely void of anything remotely edible. This left me with two choices after I picked Dyce up from daycare 1. Go grocery shopping in 5 inch heels 2. Mama and Son dinner date So, off to Brixx we went! Now, I’m sure almost everyone reading this is probably incredibly bored by all the milestone posts I do, but it’s the main...

And, He Speaks...
Last week I mentioned that Dyce said his first word and I managed to catch a small clip with him saying it! He has been saying “mama” and “dada” for a few months now, though they often sound like “mamamamamama” and “dadadadadadadada”. It’s funny what actually ended up being his first word. I guess we, as parents, don’t realize how often...
