Today I Did Something

So the other day Target was having the best sale EVER on...it seemed...their entire store! I found deals galore! My favorite and most useful score was this awesome memory file box from Tiny Tales! As you can see in the picture above it has notecards that you 1) Mark the category-for the first time, hilarious, etc. 2) Write the date 3) Copy down the memory, then you file it in the box according to your baby's age! This one shows every couple of months, but mine includes every month. I am not a very good journal...er... so this product has been AMAZING for me! After you write down the memory, you file it and when you get pictures printed you can store the correlating picture behind the memory card! Ta da! Instant, easy scrap book whenever you're ready to make one-complete with date and details! They also have one for toddlers and one for when you're pregnant, so check em' out! LOVE IT!

Beef...that's what's for dinner!

Here is our adorable little Chloe with my Dad at seven weeks old in the sweater that Grandma Millie knitted for her! My Grandma is such a talented knitter! The booties were also hand made by Ronnie's cousin Stefanie! So many gifted people in our family!

My post is titled such as it is because I am proud to say that I've planned our meals for the entire week! And! I'm trying a new recipe for easy chicken cordon bleu (you can find it here- momswhothink.com) Slowly, but surely, I am getting closer to becoming a "real" stay at home Mom! It's been...interesting...being at home all day and trying to be a "self starter". I'm one who does better with a schedule, but it's getting better and I'm happy to report that I'm getting the hang of it!

I Heart Ross

WO....calm down! Ross is not another man! Ross is only my FAVORITE store ever because I find everything I need for A LOT cheaper! For instance, now that I have size 10 feet (courtesy of Chloe) and none of my shoes fit and I have flab to work off, I needed new tennis shoes. So off to Ross I went and not even five minutes later-voila! New tennis shoes (those beauties up above, but in pink) in size ten for less than half the retail price, all before Chloe could spit her binky out (if only that were true)! Sigh...thank you Ross.

Tin Foil Dinner Fun!

Arty and the infamously long LeBaron tongue
Who's pregnant now?

The fam and I were able to go hang out with the LeBaron Bunch (Ronnie's bro and sis in law) last Saturday night and make tin foil dinners! We had such a blast with all the kids and dinner was delish! Chloe loved her carrier for about two and half minutes and then I think she got closterphobic (and probably a tich hungry) and wanted out...oh well...maybe when she's older! After dinner Arty and Andrea left for a movie date and we got to stay and play with the kids! They're such an awesome family and we love them!

Bad Mom

Chloe HATES riding in the car. We put her in her car seat and she's all nice and happy, put her in the car and she wails-usually until we reach our destination and get her out of the car. Well yesterday was no different; I left my Mom's house put her in the car and the crying started...and lasted until we got home. I hurriedly got her out of the car and inside and lifted up the cover to find this:

My poor baby covered in spit up with her head bands over her eyes (you can't see it in this picture, but her arms were flailing all over the place). The post is titled Bad Mom because I left her crying and ran back out to the car to get my camera...I couldn't let the moment pass undocumented!
