My biggest nursing supporter

My biggest nursing supporter

You might think that my biggest nursing supporter is Lo, or even my lactation consultant.  But no…it’s Jenson.  Although sometimes he gets mad when I have to feed Marlowe and he wants to sit on my lap and read, he’s more than happy to demonstrate

From the mouth of Jenson: 22 months

When Jenson really started talking, he was constantly cracking us up with things he would say, or surprising us with his verbal skillz.  I bought a wall calendar that had blank lines on the top page, and the calendar at the bottom and hung it

Day in the Life: Home Alone with 2

Tuesday was the first day I was home alone with the kids for the day.  I talked a little about it (and how nervous I was) in this “Surviving” post.  I thought it would be fun to do a “Day in the Life” to document

Decorating Christmas Cookies

Since Jenson was already a pro at decorating cookies from when he stayed at Nana and Papaw’s, I thought I’d let him help me make the sugar cookies. I mixed up the dough one day and let him help me cut some of the shapes 

St. Nicholas Day 2015

St. Nicholas Day 2015

Last year I started doing St. Nicholas Day tradition with Jenson as a fun way to start off the holiday season.  As a back story, the history St. Nicholas is actually what where the story of Santa came from.  St. Nicholas’ wealthy parents died while
