Summer Vibes

"Come on, Barbie, let's go party." It's the end of July, definitely a mid-point of summer. It's a time after summer birthdays and preschool summer camp has ended, and also a time when the weather in our city reaches the triple digits (as in 100-117 degrees). Which means we can't go outside quite as much, but still try to find things to do to keep occupied. There's been a lot of trips to the library for summer reading story time (as early in the morning as possible to beat the mid-day heat), as well as an invitation to a my preschooler's first ever pool party! His classmate invited him to a recreation center outdoor pool, and while it was still hot as all heck to attend outdoors, was made infinitely better once we made it into the water. The challenge, of course, was that my preschooler did not initially want to go into the water. At all. He didn't like the idea of changing into swim clothes (he didn't even really like the idea of me changing i...

There are still some complaints present, however, and if I'm going to be documenting my pregnancy I regularly have to post both the good and the bad. There is still plenty of itchy skin. There is still plenty of random growth pains. I still have to go to the bathroom every time I stand up from the couch. Oh, and there's those lovely hormones that control my moods. I thankfully haven't had anything even close to depression so far this pregnancy, but that doesn't mean I've escaped the crying-for-no-reason stage (or crying for perfectly goo...

Snoo Review

So I previously posted about our Snoo bassinet --an expensive luxury that we went in on together in the hopes of getting more sleep. We had some money saved, and I decided to give it a try after a rough night that made Hubby strongly advocate for one. I also said I would post more if it ended up working. You probably haven't seen a post from me about the Snoo in a while. Is that because it's not working, or have I just been too overwhelmed with transitioning back to work to fully review and appreciate the wonderful product that it is? Well...a little of both. So I thought I'd share my pros and cons if that helps others in making their own decisions on whether the expense is worth it. First, let's get the cons out of the way. I'm the kind of person who would rather hear bad news first to get it out there and over with and then end on a positive note with the potential good news. So here goes: Cons: 1. What's the difference? Baby has gone from ...
