Chocolate Chip Cookies

Being stuck in the house is challanging. Thankfully Keith and I are both deemed "essential" and able to continue bringing in a paycheck for the time being. However, we are limiting our outings to work, groceries when NEEDED, and home. So, I've decided to do a little baking in my free time. Fair warning: these…

Boy Mom

When I found out that "Baby Foy" was going to be a boy, I was less than thrilled. I like to justify it by saying "I just KNEW he was a girl". And while, I did believe he was a girl, it was because I so desperately wanted this baby to be a girl. So,…

How I Make “Side” Money

Baby Must haves!

It should go without saying, I am in no way a baby expert. There, I said it. Sometimes, I don't even know what to do with my own baby to make him happy. There, I admitted that too. But, for all you new (or not new) Momma's, here are a few of the MUST HAVES…

How to Help a Congested Baby

  ** I am NOT a Doctor of any kind. Just a new Momma who is trying to figure it all out too!** The first time our baby gets sick is HARD. Do I take him to the ER? Do I wait? What if I wait too long? Those were all the questions that raced…

Christmas Photo Shoot

For the past two years, we have done a "cousin" photo shoot.  You can see last years HERE This year we decided to switch it up some. Mom bought matching pajamas when she went to Canada earlier this year for work. Also, since Luke was a month old, we knew that we'd have to figure…
