As if potty training wasn't hard enough, I'm doing it with two special needs kids. I've mentioned before my challenges. Autism and itty bitty. So when it comes to any tools to make potty training a success, I go for it! Since a number of my mama friends have littles that are potty training or almost ready, I decided to invite everyone over for a Pony Potty Party! We would play with My Little Pony, … [Read more...]
Quincy, the Preemie. Once Tiny, Always Strong. If you've been reading my blog for awhile, you know that Quincy was born a little early. Almost 8 full weeks early. Quincy came screaming into this world at 32 weeks and 3 days. She weighed 2 pounds 14 ounces and was just a smidgen under 16 inches long. Quincy was so feisty they kicked her out of the NICU when she was barely over a week old. She … [Read more...]
Did you know it's National Bread Month? To me there isn't anything like a piece of cheese melted over a slice of whole grain bread. Unless you add a bunch of other ingredients and another slice of bread! Sandwich Love Sandwiches have been a staple in our diets for 250 years! That's pretty crazy! There are many reasons to love sandwiches: Sandwiches are one of the easiest, most versatile and … [Read more...]
We love ice cream. Love it. If our freezer doesn't have at least one half gallon of Dreyer's Slow Churned Ice Cream in it, something is missing. The real bonus? It's half the fat, and one-third fewer calories without sacrificing a creamy and delicious flavor. I promise. So we've been enjoying delicious ice cream, guilt free. The only problem is, our kids like it too, so we have to share. I … [Read more...]
Ahh the dog days of summer. Cookouts, playdates and mowing the lawn. None of it s quite complete without a glass of iced tea. I love iced tea. I learned to make "real" sweet tea at an early age. After all, my mom was raised in South Carolina. I love it, but to be honest, it's not practical to just whip up a batch of it, nor do I really need all of the sugar. When I found out that Lipton (the … [Read more...]
Last week, along with some other bloggers, I had the opportunity to preview the new movie, Mighty Fine, in a private screening from the comforts of my laptop. The film, which covers the delicate subject matter of emotional abuse, premieres in theaters on May 25th. About the film: The story of "Mighty Fine" is fictional, but it draws to a great extent on writer/director Debbie Goodstein's … [Read more...]
I really regret getting early family photos taken when Sebby was born. He was about a year and a half when we got our first professional photos taken. Now we see a photographer at least once or twice a year to capture our family. I love our family photos, we always make a day of it, getting our pictures taken and then doing something fun with the kids. It makes it a really enjoyable … [Read more...]
Remember growing up and your Mom would come into your room with a big black Glad Trash Bag and tell you you weren't leaving your room until you had cleaned it up. Your automatic response was that it wasn't trash, but treasure. Well... You were probably right. Sorry Mom. Mom didn't know that Picker Sisters are teaming up with Glad® Black Bag and Keep America Beautiful to celebrate and … [Read more...]
