That's a Good Question

Through the blogging grapevine I've gotten to know some creative, funny, honest, inspiring, and downright great ladies. One of those ladies, Merranda, has started posting questions on her blog for fellow bloggers that are so fun to answer. The dialog that it has started is great. It's helped me stop and think about things like, how many loads of laundry do I really do in a week or what toys do my kids play with every single day. After checking with Merranda, I decided to post her questions and my answer here rather than in her comments so I can continue to archive my family's lives. You're welcome to join in the fun - let us all know if you do. Can you tell I miss the days of Mommy Talk Mondays?

Today's Question*: What pet names/nicknames do you have for your child/children?

Samuel: We both call him Sam or Sammy Sam. Brian has never ever called him Samuel (Isn't that odd?) You'd think I'd save Samuel for when gets in trouble, but I save Samuel James for that. I call him Samuel on average once a day. For the first two years of his life Brian occasionally called him Grumpalumpalstein but I think I've finally talked him out of that one. My pet name for him is Baby Boy.

Julia: Sam called her JoJo when she was born (now he never does), but the nickname stuck for Brian and I. I have to be careful that I don't go a whole day without calling her by her given name. Brian strange thing he does where he referred to the kids as "the infant" in conversations with me. After two years of infant, he referred to Julia as "the toddler" last night. My pet name for her is Baby Girl (big surprise right?).

I think it's so interesting that we had such trouble deciding (read: agreeing) on names for the kids and now I am completely, head over heals in love with their names.

There's no set day or frequency that Merranda will be posting her questions. It's all for fun anyway, right?

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d
