Tis the season for birthday parties!

So I’ve been thinking of ideas for Madeline’s 1st birthday party (less than 2 months away!!! crazy!) and although we’re keeping it small (just family, mostly), I can’t help but want to be creative and have fun with this. I don’t want to go crazy, but it’s fun to think of fun [...]

Momocho – Awesome Mexican Place!

David, my brother, and I tried out a new (well, new to us, it’s been around for @2 years) Mexican place -Momocho, in Ohio City. The margarita’s were very tasty and the pineapple guacamole and salsa (with what seemed to be homemade chips) were muy delicioso! How’s that for utilizing the 8 years [...]

Recommended Scoop Bibs

Now that Madeline’s eating “people food” in mass quantities, i was looking at buying a Scoop Bib for her to catch all of the food. Here are a few that have been recommended by friends:
Baby Bjorn Bib – This is the one I ended up getting. I couldn’t help it, I had to [...]

Shout-out to my loyal reader

I just want to send a “shout-out” to my loyal reader, Taylor. She has been my inspiration for keeping this blog going! My dream for this blog is to have a place for my friends to go to discuss issues affecting them and their children, to share their experiences (both good and bad [...]

Last Night’s Dinner at Nightown

Last night we had our best showing yet! It was a beautiful night (although it started to rain a bit when we were leaving) and I have to say that it was really nice to have a few glasses of vino, catch up and hang out with “the girls” and not have to worry [...]

New Thai restaurant on Coventry

David and I went to a new Thai/Asian/Korean place last night called Tree Country Bistro and it was (dare I say it) better than Mint Cafe. It’s located where Que Tal used to be and they haven’t done much with the decor – but the food was terrific! I got Country Pad Thai and it [...]

Battle of the baby bulge

OK, so Madeline is now almost 10 months old and, although I know I’m not obese…yet, I am still finding it hard to lose the weight I want to lose. I have a major problem – I love sweets. I could eat cake (right now I’m having a fondant obsession) morning noon and night. The [...]

Buying diapers online – and saving moola $

So, today I bought diapers online for the very first time (at www.diapers.com). I woke up this morning and was in a panic because I realized that we have just enough diapers for the next day or two…and I won’t have a chance to go to the store until Friday…which meant that I either had [...]
