She's a toddler. Now What? Join me as I navigate the daily joys and challenges of raising a precocious toddler.
Reagan has been super excited about birthdays. She loves them. It’s Reagan’s birthday every day! There has not been a day that has gone by in the past three to four weeks where it’s not her birthday. I’m not sure where it came from. I think Christmas really had her riled up and now she asks for her birthday party every day. Now that she is getting big into dress up she gets all glamoured up as a princess and {Read More}
It’s time to unload some pictures. Here are my favorite Instagram moments this week. I know…a lot of them are grainy but the lighting was horrible and not my best photo week. Most of the photos were from our weekend trip away. We were visiting my mom as she had her annual company holiday party. It was fun. My sister took our dad as her date. I’m glad my parents, divorced, can be in the same room together. I am thankful {Read More}

It’s Fall and that means ~ Break out the warm cocktails! WooHoo! One of my favorites to drink, especially around the holidays is the Hot Toddy.

The Hot Toddy Ingredients: 4 tsp honey 3 cups boiling water 2 cups Jack Daniels whiskey 5 whole cloves 10 cinnamon sticks 5 fresh {Read More}

Reagan has been two for all of a week and lately her favorite new play time activity is to throw birthday parties for her “babies.” I had an entirely different post to write this morning based on my latest finished book Fifty Shades of Grey, (yep…I did it, I read it too) but when I walked into Rey’s room this morning she was singing Happy Birthday to Ellie, her elephant, and making her a cake. It was one of the {Read More}
Today is Reagan’s second birthday! My baby is no longer a baby! She is a full blown toddler with a full blown personality, attitude and independent demeanor. I can’t believe how quickly two years came and went. It seems like yesterday I was bringing her home from the hospital and wondering what the hell came next. Nothing quite prepares you for having your own child. Then one day you finally do and you try your hardest not to screw it {Read More}
Tomorrow is Reagan’s second birthday party! I’m not sure who is excited more…me or her! It’s so much more fun this year knowing that she understands a whole lot more of what is happening. You tell Reagan all about her party and she struts around screaming “I’m gonna be two!” She has it…birthday party fever! Brian and I went shopping for the last few odds and ends for the party while Reagan was at daycare yesterday. One of those items {Read More}
