How Are You Giving Back This Year?
Published on Wednesday, December 9, 2009 by caryn We have been very blessed this year, despite the fact that it's been a stretch for us financially with me being out of work for so long due to the pregnancy. This year, we're planning on giving much of the items we have here in our home to neighbors, family members, and a community play group. I don't want my son to grow up thinking that it's all about the "stuf... Read More » -

Published on Wednesday, December 9, 2009 by caryn This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Dawn! As much as I complain about being in the kitchen, I actually only struggle with the "cooking" part of it all. I enjoy baking and absolutely adore kitchen gadgets. Some of the items I'd love to own include an espresso maker, an ice cream maker, and a waffle maker. It's amazing how you can practically find a gadget... Read More » -

Published on Tuesday, December 8, 2009 by caryn This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Whitney! It's funny to watch my son go through character phases. There was a time when he just adored Sesame Street...then it was Thomas and The Wonder Pets. Earlier this year I purchased annual Disneyland passes and took my son almost weekly until I couldn't do it any longer. He has grown rather fond of many of the Pl... Read More » -

You won't believe my excitement when I learned that there was a day dedicated to the brownie. I don't ever need an excuse to eat chocolate of any kind (and I always have some in my kitchen) but I think it's neat that there is an official holiday celebrating the browni... Read More » -

It’s a Baby Shower (Part 4)
Published on Monday, December 7, 2009 by caryn The hardest part about shopping for a baby (in my opinion) is the search for "gear." These are your big items...the car seat, stroller, high chair, crib, etc. etc. We all want the safest, most stylish baby gear...and yet we also want to get it at an affordable price. And with so many large, reputable companies, these are tough decisions. I'm thankful that most... Read More » -

Shopping? Red Carpet? I’m SO THERE!
Published on Sunday, December 6, 2009 by caryn Just hearing the two words shopping + red carpet make me want to jump up and down. But I don't think that's a good idea at this time! Tomorrow morning I get to wake up at 5 am (and I'm actually excited about it), get in a car with Julie and head to LA for the Marshalls Holiday Red Carpet Event. Rain? Cold? It doesn't matter. We're going SHOPPING! If you k... Read More » -

Holiday Lattes from Got Milk?
Published on Sunday, December 6, 2009 by caryn A little known fact about me is that I really, really like coffee (so much so that before I was pregnant, you could find me at any given OC coffee shop daily). I try to justify my semi-coffee addiction by telling myself that my froofy coffee drinks are healthy because they usually contain about 3/4 milk. It just so happens that I'm right! Lattes, in particular h... Read More » -

Holiday GIft Guide 2009: Project of the Mont...
Published on Sunday, December 6, 2009 by caryn I talk a lot about how my son and I spend time coloring and crafting. I believe it's just as important to stimulate my son's mind and creativity as it is to get his muscles moving and active outside. Perhaps you're like me, and struggle to come up with new and interesting crafts and projects. With winter here, we're spending more and more time indoors and I strugg... Read More » -

It’s a Baby Shower (Part 3)
Published on Saturday, December 5, 2009 by caryn Warning: This post contains information about breastfeeding. I've been to a lot of baby showers. In fact, I was one of the last in my group of girl friends to have children. While everyone else was nesting and planning, my husband and I were backpacking Europe. All that to say that while I'm so glad my husband and I had that incredible experience of bonding... Read More » -

Published on Saturday, December 5, 2009 by caryn This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Rosey! With all the busyness and preparation for both our baby girl's arrival and Christmas, I have tried to ensure that my son is receiving lots of attention. It may seem like we're out quite a bit, but in reality, we're actually more at home than we are out. Much of our days are spent at home, getting ready, reading, p... Read More » -

And I have...I've bought cookbooks and tried different recipes. But one thing I have not done is invest in cooking lessons.

Published on Friday, December 4, 2009 by caryn My son as a newborn In less than six weeks, we'll be holding our precious baby girl in our arms. This pregnancy has definitely been easier in so many ways. Instead of debating over which car seat is safest or whether or not a trendy stroller is worth the investment, we're busy preparing for the holidays and staying active with our little boy. We're less str... Read More » -

As we ready our home for Christmas, we've been listening to a new CD to get us in the mood for the rapidly approaching holiday season.

Holiday Gift Guide 2009: Stuck On You
Published on Friday, December 4, 2009 by caryn The Christmas tree is up, the presents are purchased and wrapped neatly under the tree. Ok...that is what I'd LIKE to be saying right now. But, I'm far from being ready for Christmas. I did some shopping on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but I'm still far from being done. I went to look for wrapping paper the other day because we had to give early Christmas ... Read More » -

I have Christmas shopping to do, baby preparations to complete, and meals to plan. I don't pretend to enjoy being in the kitchen. In fact, it's rather nice when my husband does the cooking.
