Kitchen Love

Lately, I have been envying big kitchens in the hopes that sometimes I will have one. Here are some of my faves.

 House of Turquoise

I love this farm house sink and open shelving. 

 

So warm and sunny.

Mother's Day Out

This week was a big week for Little Miss. Brandon and I joined the gym just before the New Year (yes, we are "those" people who start working out at the new year) and we picked this particular gym because it has a daycare. Awesome, I can go workout and Molly can play away in the daycare area...um, not so much. First and Second trips to the gym were a huge Fail. These two attempts happen just days before Molly's first day of Friday morning daycare. I was terrified.

Shockingly, daycare went so much better! I think it has something to do with the fact that I sneak out without her knowing. That isn't possible at the gym because its a all windows. I was sure they director was going to call me and say we should probably come get her because she wouldn't pull it together, but after 45 minutes she called to tell me she was doing great. Thank Goodness! Here are a few pics of her first day in her new sweater courtesy of her future BFF Helen E.

Best we could do because she isn't much for staying still for a picture.



Outdoor fun and a little relaxing

Molly loves "throwing" the ball for Cameron. It doesnt really get very far, so I am not so sure Cameron loves it.

Playing with her Chase me Kitty she got for Christmas.

This morning after Molly's wild New Years Eve. She wasn't interested in sleeping and played in her crib for over an hour. Shockingly, I made it up to see the New Year, totally wasn't expecting that.

happy 2012!!



Mama needs a new pair of shoes

 And by need I mean want. I'll be looking for some black shoes this weekend..here's my inspiration.

Daytime TV

Growing up I can always remember my mom and Granny watching their "stories" AKA daytime soap operas. It seemed to me that it was some kind of Mom thing to start watching soap operas when you had children and stayed home with them. This week I haven't been able to get into work much for several reasons and so I began watching The Young and the Restless and Bold and the Beautiful which conveniently come on during Molly's one nap.

I am officially hooked on my stories...if you are a stay at home mom, get lots of time off, or have TiVo...start watching. It's terrible but oh so good.

Christmas Recap

Merry Christmas!! Here is our weekend recap in pictures...

 

Here is little miss Christmas morning before we went to my Grandparents. The picture is terrible because she wouldn't stand still.

 Checking out her new Elmo books. I think we have an Elmo lover for sure!

Until Molly is officially walking, which I don't think is too far off, her main form of movement is still crawling. We had to tie up her pretty dress with a hair band, because she kept getting stuck up in it.

My Dad's sister gave Molly this little sleeping bag and as you can see it was a huge hit. Also note that we have completely ditched the sweet dress for a onsie. Much easier to move in.

And finally here is Molly in our living room chair...

 And here is Molly in that same chair one year ago...

 It's so hard to believe these little things can change that much over a year. It really is amazing.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
