Alyssa turned one already! To celebrate, we had little birthday celebration at a local restaurant. It wasn’t a big event, but that didn’t stop her from going baby-glam – we went for a pink and gold stars first birthday theme!! With a matching pink and gold star cake and smash cake, of course. I got […]

March 5, 2014 by 36 Comments
Zavier will be 3 soon and he’s growing so fast, but I don’t think anyone really notices. He’ has been living happily in the shadow of his big sis Arielle. She’s can strike up a good conversation, she sings, she dances, and she recites lines from movies! The only song that Zavier knows is “Eenny […]
To Pre-K, or Not to Pre-K? That is the question.
January 9, 2014 by 25 Comments
I got a call from the local elementary school and found out that a spot opened up for Arielle in their pre-K program where she has been on the waiting list for 6 months now. I felt like I won the lottery and all sorts of joy filled in my heart at this wonderful opportunity […]
{Infographic} Toddler Stats
December 16, 2013 by 11 Comments
When people ask me how my kids are doing, I usually say that Arielle is a doll and that Zavier drives me crazy. And by crazy, I mean crazy in love and driving me up the wall at the same time. Or I say that he’s like a sour patch kid – first he is sour, […]

Zavier 2.0
May 2, 2013 by 5 Comments
Oh, boy! At two-years-old, Zavier has my heart wrapped around his grubby little finger. My favorite thing about him is that his favorite person is me! Or as he simply calls me: “Mommy.” When he wakes up in the morning, he calls to me from his crib, “Mooommy! Mommy?” Then, when he goes to bed, […]
Zavier’s bad hair cut
February 28, 2013 by 5 Comments
At just 23 months old, Zavier officially got the worst hair cut of his life. When people look at him their immediate reaction is: Shock. “OMG!” + facial expression of being physically injured, insulted, confused, sympathetic, appalled, etc. Followed by a dumb question. “Did he get a hair cut?” or “What happened to his hair??” Lastly, […]
I got my boobs back! The end of breastfeeding.
February 21, 2013 by 8 Comments
After 23 months, Zavier is officially done breastfeeding! I finally got my boobs back, ladies and gentlemen! At the rate he was going at 18 months, it seemed like he would never ever stop. My close family and friends were getting a little worried that I’d let Zavier breastfeed until he is 5-years-old and calls my boobs […]
Where’s Zavier?
January 14, 2013 by 2 Comments
My blog, Facebook, Instagram, etc. has featured Arielle these past couple of weeks. She sings, she dances, she poses for the camera – overall, she’s just a doll! Where’s Zavier? He’s around. He’s here, throwing his cookies into my cup of tea anytime he gets a clear shot. He’s there, quietly eating his apple jacks…no, wait. […]
