I L.O.V.E. being a mom. It’s THE best job. Today I woke up {at 9:30! Good man, Mr. V!} to 3 of the most adorable kidlets in the world, teeming with excitement as they handed me their Mother’s Day offering – a bowl of Raisin Bran & a handmade card. Sorry no play-by-play pics, ’cause in [...]

Didn’t quite make it…

This is what happens when you do some after-dinner grocery shopping, leaving your hubby in charge of putting the kiddos to bed I came home to find Little L sound asleep on the floor! H.I.L.A.R.I.O.U.S. In Mr. V’s defense, she’d told him, “I want to finish my dinner!” (she refused to eat earlier). He went [...]

The Easter Bunny Tragedy

Ok, this isn’t really a tragedy per se but if you’d slaved away making these for Easter…  you might be pretty bummed too… Within ONE HOUR, Little L wrote on them with PEN! My heart sank when I picked them up and saw it. I realize I made ‘em for kids, and that they’re meant [...]

Why I’m Excited for SNAP…

I’m so excited for SNAP! One of my biggest reasons for being excited? I will have 4 nights NOT like last night! 11pm: “Little-Man-Child” wakes up, 35 minutes later he’s asleep. 2:40am: “Little L” starts screaming. She fell off the bed while trying to remove the princess dress she’d fallen asleep in. 4:40am: “Little-Man-Child” wakes [...]

6:30am: Little-man-child wakes up. I sigh, knowing my night is officially over and grab the lil’ man. We snuggle (or “nuggle” as we like to call it over here). 6:45am: Little L wakes up (isn’t it weird how toddlers have the best alarm clocks in their heads?!) & wakes Miss M (I think she shakes [...]

I’ve been seeing this A-Z list in blog-land and thought I’d do it here. Here’s a little glimpse into the life of Heidi (seriously, not that glamorous!) Age: 27, though my birthday is coming up! Bed size: King… we DEF need our space when sleeping! Chore that you hate: Folding laundry. Let’s face it, by [...]

my cute little surprise? UPDATE

IMG_9496

“little man-child” has glasses! Our pediatrician noticed a problem at his 4 month appointment and referred us to an ophthalmologist. There we were told that our darling little boy has strabismus (crossed-eyes) and is extremely far-sighted. Glasses were prescribed in hopes that they might correct his crossed-eyes. We were told that if the glasses did [...]
