Can't Forget These Sweet Moments!


My sweet boy. My firstborn son who blesses me on the daily.  I don't want to forget this sweet phase (hopefully he'll never stop) so I had to write myself so I remember.  EVERYWHERE we go, he finds me flowers and picks them for me.  Now this ins't something new necessarily, but the intention behind it definitely is.  He loves pleasing his Mom, we have a sweet special connection and something about seeing me smile makes his heart burst. We will be in the Costco parking lot and will manage to find a weed growing between the asphalt and he'll present it as a beautiful flower.  It's the dearest thing.  He shares with others as well.  A couple days ago in the middle of his swim lessons he leaned out of the pool and pulled his swim teacher a flower.  His kind heart and loving spirit is sure to give me lots of sleepless nights once he is older, ladies are going to flock to him (I mean, they already do!). Thanks baby boy for being the love that you are and putting a smile on my face with your sweet gifts!


Side note: He has been getting stronger and stronger with his swimming, and today at the beach (see below) he snorkeled with the fish, honu's and reef for the first time! He came out of the water afterwards with the worlds BIGGEST smile on his face and couldn't wait to report to Mom what he saw. (He was ESPECIALLY excited to tell me him and Dad went underwater and laughed at each other) :) It's incredible how much we as moms (or maybe it's just me) underestimate our kids.  I didn't want to invest in snorkel gear for him because I didn't think it was something he would be doing until closer to 5 or 6.  Well, he's proved me wrong so cha-ching, there goes my credit card for his new hobby.  So grateful that he happens to love the things we enjoy doing.  

Tune in next time for his new adventures.  Paddle boarding! As soon as I pop this baby out him and I will be out on that horizon. No more underestimating my kids! Can't wait!!

Feeling Inspired!

I am feeling inspired today! I love making homemade baby food for my beautiful boy! I really can't say enough about the huge advantage making your own baby food is. The price alone is an immediate seller. I buy organic, locally grown produce and spend about 15-25 dollars which lasts me at least a month. If we were buying the same amount of jarred organic baby food we would be spending about 100 dollars a month. Big difference! I also love knowing exactly what goes in my son's (cute) little tummy. No preservatives, no food dye, and no processed food for him. Another big plus is that I can introduce him to flavors and foods that are unique and typically not found in your average baby food. Currently, I am steaming some yams, zucchini, chicken, green beans and rosemary-all certified organic and yummy of course. I call it "R oast Chicken Dinner" - fancy huh? I will then dish them into my BPA free ice cube holders and freeze. After that, I'll make yams, peaches, pears ...

Time is rolling on and life is rolling right along with it! Yesterday was our official 1 month anniversary, it seems so small compared to 8 years of loving each other but still, celebrating never gets old! Rachel started her new job yesterday as a perioperative RN and UCI. I have never seen/ been a part of a more amazing hospital and the benefits are incredible, by far the best hospital around! I feel blessed to be a part of their periop team. We have a robot called The DaVinci that surgeons use to preform Urological surgeies ! It's a little overwhelming but we will learn and we will be great Rn's once we are done with our training program. This is a picture of my homemade pizza. The dough was even homemade ! It was a 2 hour event, I got a little stressed attempting to flatten the dough out after we had already flattened and then balled it up again. Note: After you roll the dough out DONT start over, just keep it flat, folding it over onto itself is a disaster...

When the Poop Hits the Fan- LITERALLY!

Day 4 in the bag! Phew, barely. Today was too classic not to blog about, so hopefully it brings a smile to your face. :) Woke up this morning with serious tummy issues only to find both Elijah and Jameson feeling under the weather.  Cancelled our Thursday playdate and we lounged around hydrating and just taking it easy (OK they were taking it easy, me, on the other hand, that's a joke. I am a mom of 3 littles after all. I was playing Mommy Nurse). Around 11 we sat down to do school. Now, Elijah's participation is hit and miss, which I completely expected.  He is always game for music time (he is a dancing king after all) and game time. But today he decided he wanted to join for all of it.  So little Mister with his pensive mind asked "Why?" only 80 gazillion times today.  We stopped and had a snack every 10 minutes (Elijah is my hungry boy after all) and a few water breaks (thirsty boy too). Get my drift? Lots of breaks and pauses with him a...
