Father’s Day 2009: Golf & Wine Le...
Published on Monday, June 15, 2009 by caryn One of my favorite memories from our 8 months overseas was a trip we took with my in-laws to visit the famous golf course at St. Andrews. I remember my father-in-law's excitement as he stood where legends like Jack Nicklaus stood. To be honest, being that I'm not a golfer, it was a little hard for me to relate. But one thing was certain...the place was beautiful... Read More » -

Are You Living In HD Yet?
Published on Monday, June 15, 2009 by caryn This post was previously published... I have been promising my husband an HD TV for months now. After he painted our entire house, that was (and is) going to be my thank you to him. We're just waiting on the right time to make the purchase and he's still doing the research on brand, model, size, and price (and if you have any recommendations please feel free ... Read More » -

My So Called (Blogging) Life…
Published on Sunday, June 14, 2009 by caryn When I first started my blog (on blogspot almost 2 years ago), I really had no idea what direction I was heading. One thing was certain...blogs helped me get through my 5 months of bedrest and I loved the community I found through them. I also wanted some way to keep my family in the loop with their first grandchild. So, since it seemed like the "thing to do," I s... Read More » -

Father’s Day 2009: Flip Ultra
Published on Sunday, June 14, 2009 by caryn My husband and I love taking pictures and shooting videos of our little boy. In fact, most days while we're out, you'll find me with both my camera and my video camera, waiting to capture one of our toddler's quirky, funny, and otherwise adorable moments. I have to admit that while having a camcorder is a nice luxury, I don't find it highly practical for every day... Read More » -

Father’s Day 2009: Insignia GPS Person...
Published on Saturday, June 13, 2009 by caryn My husband has lived in Southern California for six years, yet there are times when I think he knows his way around better than I do. It seems ironic that he'd need a GPS (hint hint hubby), but with the amount of travel he does for work (both in and out of California), it's actually a perfect gift for him. Previously, we owned a first generation GPS, purchased when ... Read More » -

How I’m Feeling…
Published on Thursday, June 11, 2009 by caryn I try not to complain (accept in the privacy of my own home...hehe!) but despite the fact that I'm on prescription medication for the morning (all-day sickness) sickness, I still feel bad most of the day. I have this window of time in the afternoon where I feel ok...usually sometime after noon. That is when I'll finally make my way into the shower (I know.... Read More » -

Father’s Day 2009: ScanPan
Published on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 by caryn I sincerely hope that each one of you has a husband or father that enjoys cooking on some level. I am so blessed to have a father who cooked for me growing up, and a husband who now does the same. Anyone who cooks knows how important the kitchen "gear" is. My husband has to use just the right pots, pans, and knives when he is cooking up a meal. Many of the dishe... Read More » -

The 3 Second Clean!
Published on Tuesday, June 9, 2009 by caryn Every day it's the same. One of us cooks, we eat, our toddler throws spills all some of his food on the floor, I we clean up. The "cleaning up" part is the most monotonous and time-consuming, especially at the end of a long day. If the mess encompasses more than just a small area, we have to break out the "big" vacuum. Well, thanks to Vroom, we don't have to b... Read More » -

The Art Easel for The Learning Tower
Published on Tuesday, June 9, 2009 by caryn A few months ago, I won a Learning Tower on Stephanie's blog during their Love of Learning Month promotion. My son has really enjoyed playing in it (or shall I say climbing in and out of it over and over). I stay home with my son most days of the week and the reality is, household chores have to get done. I know it's crazy isn't it? Things like dishes and cook... Read More » -

Etsy Focus: BeautyName
Published on Monday, June 8, 2009 by caryn When I was a little girl, my mother gave me a gold necklace with my name on it. I still have that necklace, tucked away in my jewelry box for safekeeping since it was made for a child. While I love to wear jewlery, it's not often that I actually purchase pieces for myself. I prefer to leave that to my husband! I recently had an opportunity to review a necklac... Read More » -

Be Hold…The Belly Band!
Published on Monday, June 8, 2009 by caryn Apart from the fact that I feel like I'm on a ship all the time and I can't get enough sleep, I don't have a lot of other pregnancy discomforts (not to discount the ones I do have, which have pretty much rendered me less than effective!). It's too early to feel the baby move, and the five pounds I've gained (yes, despite the fact that I've been so sick!) make me... Read More » -

While we're on the subject of sun protection, let's not forget those precious eyes!

Toddlerisms
Published on Thursday, June 4, 2009 by caryn My little boy is so funny. Every day he says something that surprises me (most of the time it's good!). My husband and I have a habit of taking pictures of people in our lives, and asking my son who they are. Of course, when we show him a picture of himself, we tell him..."That's you!" So this morning, we're looking in the mirror together, and I point to... Read More » -

We had this small taste of summer a few weeks ago, and now June gloom has set in. With the morning fog and mist, you'd think summer was nowhere in site.
