As I type this my son is sitting straight up in his crib. Last night he could not bring himself to a sitting position from laying down and today he is an old pro, going back and forth between sitting and laying. These days…
Recently I had the pleasure of viewing a few videos from my husband’s childhood. This was made extra fun by the fact that he had an extremely thick Texas accent until he was around 8 years old. My father-in-law had sat him down for…
Nashville had some big shoes to fill in this mind of mine. I envisioned a place with the best kind of food that tasted like it took days to cook, people who oozed good manners with “yes m’aam” and “yessir” rolling off their tongues,…
Since it’s Thursday, I want to do a little throwback to last October. I was about five months pregnant and my bump came out of nowhere. We announced our baby’s name, had a beautiful shower thrown for us, and my parents came to town.…
This is Peter. I picked him out from the SPCA nine years ago. He had a heart-shaped nose and crossed eyes, spending most of the visit chewing on his tongue. When I bent down to pet him, he threw up on my feet. It was…
Hello everyone! Sorry for my brief absence. I turned 28 on Monday and took a little time for me and my family. We headed a tiny bit up the coast and spent two days at Disneyland! If you’re ever worried that you won’t hear…
Happy belated Labor Day! This weekend was filled with the best kind of things. We caught up with friends at brunch at Mama Kat’s, did a bunch of baking and cooking, went to Fox’s favorite – Trader Joe’s, met up in Old Town with…
Fox just had his six month well baby appointment (even though he’s late – a week and a half shy of seven months to be exact) and we could not be any more proud of him. He learned to sit yesterday unassisted, he eats…
Citrus Lane always has a way of understanding my child that I just can’t predict. Flipping through photos of Fox from day one, you’ll see periods where he’s become obsessed with certain items, and for some reason 90% of them are from his little…
Tyler and I take a vacation once a year, mostly marking our wedding anniversary on October 27th. So when we decided we were ready for a baby we bumped our trip up to late March and headed off to Japan. While we were there…
I have to admit that when we first designed Fox’s nursery we were not thinking of practicality. The storage options were slim because how much room does a baby really need? Ha. After a couple months of putting everything in canvas bins we decided…
One of the most important things to me while shopping, especially online, is customer service. When I was pregnant with Fox I sat down at my computer for what seemed like two days straight and bought gifts for birthdays and holidays from October through…
Even though I don’t currently live in Buffalo, it will always be home to me. I hadn’t been back in almost five years and I was thrilled to find out that one of my friend’s had planned her 4th of July wedding in the…
