Fab 5 Friday

1. Free Stuff!  Our next door neighbor is moving cross country and is cleaning out a bunch of her girls old toys – this means new stuff for us!  So far we have this amazing tent (which is wonderful cause the castle tent we have in the playroom is just about shot), a play bench with storage that came filled with dress up toys, and a pretty nice and sturdy white 3 shelf bookcase!  She is gonna keep... read more

18 Month Check-Up!

Charlotte had her 18th month check up today!  It was a little hard getting there – an hour and 10 minutes to go from Spring Hill to Franklin! Turns out there was a wreck, cleared by the time I was there but it took much longer for traffic to return to normal.  Thank goodness I was wrong about our appointment time. I thought it was 8:35 but it was 8:50 and we still didn’t arrive til 9:12!... read more

Fab 5 Friday

I feel like I just did this!  The week seems long until I think of my Fab 5 and I realize how little I have done that would merit a number 1-5 rating of Fab.  My next initial thought was to list the 5 things I want to change in my life, or the 5 new places I’d like to live, or the 5 new things I’d like, or the 5 jobs I’d love to have.  A myriad of things really, this week has been a... read more

It’s Raining, It’s Pouring…

Tuesday evening I was very excited about getting out of the house and getting into nature for some fresh air and exercise!   It was a nice evening and I needed some “me” time so I headed to Thompson’s Station park to walk the trail they have there.  It was so refreshing – just me, fresh air, and a fantastic genius playlist on my iPhone.  Breathing in and out, focusing on my... read more

Weekend Recap

Quick recap OK, After finishing the post I have to say “Long and Detailed Recap of our weekend!” Saturday was a busy day, I can’t believe it was only one day!  We got up that morning and relaxed in bed as a family – one of our favorite things to do.  You can see Charlotte is practicing her sign “eat” with Baby Einstein on the iPad. After getting showered and ready,... read more

Our newest Titan!

We had a new member join our family today!  Meet Titan, our male Beta aka Japanese Fighting Fish. I had Betas growing up and they always lived for years and were a good little companion.  They have to live on their own or they will fight with other fish so we can only have one, which makes it really easy to take care of!  They also don’t need large spaces so I already had a vase, we found some... read more

Designer Diapers?? You gotta be kidding me…

So I was at Target today and was heading to the baby aisles to buy some diapers when I came across these… Designer Diapers by Pampers! You have got to be kidding me.  Yes, they are super cute and I’d get them – IF they weren’t 15 bucks for just 25 diapers!  I find it hard enough to spend 19 dollars on 64 diapers, no way am I gonna spend close to a dollar a diaper.  Charlotte... read more

Fab 5 Friday

1. Netflix instant watch: We reactivated our Netflix this past week and I have really enjoyed the streaming, especially of the TV series.  It can stream to the PS3 so I can watch it on the “big screen” too!  Of course we have added lots of Wiggles, Elmo, and more to the list too… 2. Pushing Daises: I know this show was only on the air for 2 short seasons and I thought it looked a... read more

Fab 5 Friday

1. Angry Birds: I seem to be following my theme of recommending a new iPhone game every Friday, and this week it is Angry Birds!   I have become a little obsessed with killing these little green hogs with these catapulted birds.  Give it a shot if you need something to waste some time! 2. The Practice: I never watched this show when it was originally on in the late 90’s early 2000, but the first 3... read more

4th of July!

Our Independence Day was spent with our wonderful church family!  Sunday evening we had our annual cookout at Dave and Debbie Hall’s farm for The Bridge folk, friends, and family.  We had such a wonderful time and were even able to stay through most of the fireworks thanks to Charlotte’s 4 hour nap that day.  I was a little hesitant about how Charlotte would react to the fireworks but she... read more

Haircut!

Since before Charlotte was born, I have been growing my hair out.  It got longer than I have had it in many many many years.  It also got much curlier after I had Charlotte and I loved when it was down and long and curly.  The only problem was that it was not down that often!  It was so much hair that it either made me too hot and it got in my way, or it took too much work to get it looking decent... read more

Too-Fab Friday!

Today was so fabulous with so much going on that I am way too tired to try to think up 5 things that made this week wonderful! Plus, since I’ve posted a daily recap each day for Jeff, you have seen the ups and downs of my week. So to quickly recap today: Sarah was here.  She is the best!  She is a great friend that I can talk with, cry with, laugh with and she is so very creative.  She made this... read more
