Today marks Alex’s 7-month birthday! I cannot believe that he has been in my life for 7 months. On the one hand, it feels like he just got here yesterday. The fact that I’ve been a mom for 7 months is weird. On the other hand, it feels like he has been around forever. I [...]

I cannot express how unbelievably cute this is:
LOVE laughing babies. Apparently this video won in the Most Adorable Award on YouTube. Can’t say I disagree!
Tomato Soup FTW!
Posted in Uncategorized on March 25, 2008 | No Comments »
I made some tomato soup (from scratch) the other day that is just incredible. I very loosely followed this tomato soup recipe, but mostly I just followed the length of time you are supposed to let the tomatoes simmer.
I didn’t have a strainer, so it wasn’t quite as smooth as, say, the Cambell’s variety. [...]
Alex is Crawling!
Posted in Alexander, Video, tagged Alex, Crawling, Video on March 23, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Alex has been attempting to crawl for almost 2 months now. In early February, after waking up from a nap, I found him in the crawling position: on all fours, rocking back and forth. For about 2 weeks that is all he would do. Any time I would put him on the floor he would [...]
Go CVS!

I see now why everyone loves shopping at CVS. You can get some amazing deals!
Today, I spent 25.77. This was more than I had been planning on saving because I got a package of Huggies that I wasn’t planning on purchasing (9.50 with a coupon) and I accidentally forgot a coupon for razors (2 [...]
Alex Update

Alex has thoroughly enjoyed his first visit with his great grandparents in Florida. They, too, have enjoyed this visit thoroughly!
Yesterday, my grandmother and I took him to Echo, where she volunteers 20 hours a week, to visit all of the cute little old ladies. He was adored! Everyone commented on how “big” he is–for [...]
Sunny Florida

I’m in North Fort Myers, Florida, basking in the 85 degree sun on my MacBook. Brilliant.
My mother, Alex, and I flew Southwest into Tampa yesterday. After the lovely news about Southwest, it wasn’t exactly a flight I was looking forward to; however, it went extremely well. Alex slept for all but take off, twenty minutes [...]
For Zach

Zach is spending the next five days in Bradenton, FL, where the Pittsburgh Pirates have Spring Training. Because he is already missing us as much as we miss him, he asked me to send him a picture. So, here are two pictures from today:
Alex and I saying, “Hi, Daddy!”:
Alex being a good sitter:
And for [...]
Community College Writers

I’ll make this quick, as it is something that I am ashamed to admit bothered me as much as it did.
I got to my Introductory Psychology class a bit early yesterday and unfortunately had left my current reading materials (Newsweek or American Gods) at home. I figured there must be a school newspaper laying [...]
Walgreens Savings

I made a quick trip to Walgreens after checking out some of the sales in the Walgreens flyer and matching them to my coupons. Overall, it was definitely a successful trip. I can see how this is something that takes time to get good at, though, as it is hard for me to figure out [...]
