Decoding School Supply Lists

August 26, 2011
decoding school supply lists

Principessa is going into first grade which means that with less than one week until we meet her teacher for the very first time, we have acquired quite an assortment of school supplies.  Her list was online, which was a huge help. I printed it, took mental notes, and off we went..armed and dangerous on [...]

Back to School Nutrition

August 23, 2011

One of the things I struggle with is nutrition for Principessa.  Not because she does not like healthy things, but because her eating habits are SOOO vastly different the weeks she spends with me compared to the weeks she spends with her dad.  He tries, he really does….but watermelon and a pop-tart do not make [...]

Austin Lehman Active Family Challenge

Austin Lehman Adventures

Realizing that my summer is slowly drawing to a close, I am a bit sad. Not because I will miss the days of flexibility or lack of schedule. Not because I will miss the blogging, writing, and tweeting whenever I want (though ok, I will miss that!), but because it means that my summer of [...]

Mommy Daughter Camp Marvels

July 12, 2011

Last week was the beginning of Mommy-Daughter camp for Principessa and I.  Our time to explore, our time to try new things, our time to bond. Somehow though, our trip to the lake for a nature walk resulted in the finding of a very curious tree trunk. The intrigue of what this tree trunk look [...]

Rockin the Bump

June 16, 2011

It is time to show off some belly!  Time to join Shell of Things I Can’t Say, as she takes the blogosphere by storm with Rockin The Bump. I was looking forward to writing this post and searching for the perfect picture until….. well until I started looking. It turns out that I cannot find [...]

XOXO

May 27, 2011

Today is the last day I will be dropping Principessa off at her Montessori school. Her dad will drive her there three more times next week, culminating in a graduation morning where we will be serenaded by a ear to ear smiles. There will be many hugs, many kisses. There will be laughter and pride.  [...]

Big Girl Bedtime

April 1, 2011

Tomorrow morning, I have an early alarm as I ride off into the sunrise on my way to New York City to attend Getting Gorgeous. I will be gone all day long, leaving Rocket and Principessa to fend for themselves. When I told Principessa about it, I told her I would return after her bedtime.  [...]

I Know

March 30, 2011

Principessa has taken to saying that “mommies know everything.” She even tells Rocket that he should listen to me because I’m always right. I certainly am not going to argue with her.  If she wants to believe that I know everything, and I am always right….I can deal with one less battle.   This, until [...]

Reclaiming Me: New Steps

March 27, 2011

As runners go, I am a penguin—or maybe a turtle. Step after step,  I am slow and steady.  My legs will eventually get me to my finish line…but it is not always pretty. The fact of the matter is that I became a runner in part by accident and in part out of principle.  A [...]

Being Prepared

March 2, 2011

I tend to think of myself as always being prepared. When Principessa was a baby, my diaper bag had a bit of everything in it just in case. Now that she is older, I still find myself putting a snack bar or something in my purse, or bandaids, or a scrunchy, for any eventual need. [...]
