4 States & 4 Time Zones in 8 days...

So, I was pretty sure that once I had a baby, I would never get the chance to travel again. Pre-Lucy, I considered myself an "Expert Traveler" and would fly through security in the black line. I would look at moms and families with small children and think, "ha, suckers!" I always made sure to sit far away from babies to avoid the crying fits and tantrums. Then I got pregnant and tried to fit in as much travel as possible because I was not about to try to fly with a child and all the "stuff" that you have to haul along with said child.

Well, turns out that I am the sucker now! I love to travel, so I decided Lucy has to travel too. She has seriously been the best travel companion (basically because she has no choice!) Over the past 2 weeks we have flown from Nashville to Salt Lake City to Los Angeles to Nashville to Charleston....count them: 4 Time Zones, and 4 different states!! I love my little travel buddy....where shall we go next???

Best Time of the Year...

I feel like a kid on Christmas morning!!  Love it!

Major Disappointment...

So, I made a pact with Beth (my best friend :) to not see Confessions of A Shopaholic until we could watch it together.  We are both huge fans of the books and love the character of Rebecca Bloomwood--sadly, it is because we both can relate to her a little too well!  So, last night was the big night to go out on a girly-date, sip sodas, munch popcorn, and watch this long anticipated film....

...one word: BOOOOOOO!!!  This movie was nothing like the book--not even a little bit.  The books are so endearing because of the British charm and wit, and I can't for the life of me figure out why they used a British actress, but set the movie in New York, and made her an American!?!??!  Then to boot, they didn't stick to the story lines at all!   Instead of Becky getting into all sorts of funny situations and trying to manage her way out of them in hilarious lies and shenanigans, everything just magically worked out in cheesy fashion.  Beth and I found ourselves cringing on several occasions rather than peeing our pants due to the hysterical antics of the book's Becky.  

I would rent this one, if you really want to see it.  And if you are a fan of the books, go in with really low expectations!

Happy St. Patty's Day!!

Top o' the Mornin' to Ya!!

The Young Babies

Lucy and Cooper got to meet their new cousin, Carter. He is the cutest little guy!

Young Mamas!!

Lulu and Abe

This is Lucy's boyfriend, Abe. Isn't he such a gentleman pushing her for a car ride!  "And they call it puppy love..."  (or "pucky" love as Abe would say!)

The Amazing Swiffer Vac

I rarely rave about appliances and cleaning items, but I really wanted to share how much I love this new gadget of mine--The Swiffer Vac! If you have wood or tiles floors, you may want to invest in one of these babies. It has a vacuum up front, and the swiffer towel in back, so it picks up small objects off the floor, and picks up the "dust gremlins" at the same time. You can also use the wet towels with it, if you like. The engineers at Swiffer deserve a gold star for this one. Oh-and it's cordless! So, you can go anywhere.

This was recommended to me by the goddess, Celeste, so thank you darlin'! This saves me lots of time for more important things like watching movies or making treats!!

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!!

My favorite Author of all time is Dr. Seuss & each year on March 2nd, I am glad that he was born to bring us such insightful, heart-felt lessons in clever, creative, zany fashion! I am looking forward to reading all of his books to Lucy as she gets bigger. Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!
