Happy Birthday!

{I can't believe my baby is one!}

{My OTHER baby, that is.}
Man, time sure flies when you're having fun...
Come over and celebrate with us!

In other fun news...
I'm officially going to be co-hosting a GREAT new mini-show on Channel 2 News every week! It has been "in the works" for a few weeks now... and I finally had a meeting with some awesome people at KUTV and they gave us the "Green light" to go ahead and start producing the packages. Our show is going to be all about families, and kids, and marriage, and FUN! I honestly can't wait. We are going to start out with 1-2 segments a week {mini segments that will be inserted into the regular news} and we will maybe add more shows a week from there...

Our first show is slated to air next Monday.
I will post more details soon!

In other, other fun news...

My kids are STILL delicious
{phew. I sometimes wonder if there is an expiration on all that cuteness.}
And on top of that, they REALLY like each other.
I am a lucky girl.

{Oh, and go wish my baby a happy birfday...yes?
It would mean alot.}

Today 6.1.2010 Diaper Bag!

Today, I am obsessing over my delightful/amazing/thrilling weekend find:My new diaper bag!

I know that it is more than a little ridiculous that I would write an entire blog post about something like a diaper bag, but wow, I am just so excited! Just to clarify, no, this is not "technically" a diaper bag. It is a very large purse with lots of different/separate/handy compartments that make it a perfect candidate for a make-shift (and much prettier and less expensive) diaper bag!

I know that it isn't very diaper bag-y, and I also know that it is ultra feminine for someone who is having boy...but here is my thinking. I'm having a little boy, but I am a girl. ("What?! No way!" you say.) I carry the bag, I keep all of my stuff in it just like a purse...I should pick something that is...well, "me." I have also decided that this rule extends to:

1. My "Udder Covers" (which are VERY feminine and pretty - and thanks so much to my Mom and my friend Andrea for thinking of me! It was fun getting little gifties in the mail. I love them!) And by the way, can I just ask : What is UP with calling them "Udder Covers" anyway? Boo to that. Boo, I say, boo! Ha! As if we mothers don't feel cow-like enough (with all the lactating, and breast-pumping, and suckling infants and such) now we need to wear a nursing cover called an UDDER cover? Ew. (Be that as it may, they are definitely a great invention and very cute...I'll give them that, but UDDER covers? Double ew.)

2. My baby sling. Now, I know that is may be pushing it, since both Baby Bob and I are technically "wearing" the sling...but I get the feeling that he is quite confident in his masculinity and he won't mind one bit if I wear a really cute sling. He can handle it. He's cool like that. So I registered for this one. Maybe I'm getting carried away with feminine...what do you think?

So, anyway, back to the girlie diaper bag...

Isn't it so cute?

Valentino came out with a line of gorgeous leather handbags, with gorgeous leather flowers about two years ago. I loved them. They were so darn pretty... but since I didn't have an extra $1,900.00 buckaroos lying around (nor could I ever justify spending that on a bag when there are still hungry people in the world) I set out to find a great knock off. And a few months ago, I finally did...and it was $150! (and NO I do not think that is a good or exciting deal. Not at all what-so-ever.) I could no sooner spend $150 on a bag than I could spend $1,900.00 on one! (I'm a big old cheapie, I know.)

So yeah, in my beloved St. Georgie this weekend, I found this lil' gem for $26.95!!!! Ahhhhhh! (scream and jump up and down with me now, here we go, one more time.) Ahhhhhhhh! So, there it is. My new diaper bag gets a post all its own. Love. Love.

Less than 9 weeks to go!!! (Can you believe that?) My, how time flies when you're not throwing up 24/7.

Check out this mom's inspiring story, and have a great Tuesday!

What was YOUR day like today? The girls at Communal Global would love to hear about it!

Happy Tuesday!

My cozy corner...

Today at Communal Global, we are talking about cozy corners. This is mine. A big, cushy, messy red chair. We love our big red chair. The hubs got it for me as a surprise anniversary present. We don't usually do the whole "present" thing for V-days, Birthdays, Mother's Days, Father's Days, Anniversaries, and such, but sometimes he breaks the rules.

We've had some seriously good times in the big red chair. We read there every morning before Kort goes to school. Bubbuh takes daily naps there. I snuggle there with the dogs and drink hot chocolate. The hubs and Kort cuddle there and take turns making up stories before bedtime.

Most recently, I sat there and held my little boy as he sobbed. One of his favorite school friends moved to Georgia a few days ago, his principal announced that he is moving to a new school next year, the fun run was canceled, and school is 2 days away from being over for the whole summer, and he's going to miss his friends. Those are a lot of big changes for one little guy to take in all at once.

I love that big red chair. It's a place for comfort, a place for love, a place for sharing, and a place for comedy. (You know, like when all three of us plus 2 huge dogs pile on there and see how long we can last? Yeah, it's pretty funny. It makes us laugh a lot, anyway. I can't wait to add Baby Bob to the mix and let the good times keep on rolling.)

What's YOUR cozy corner like?
