The snack cupboard

I am an organized person trapped in a busy moms body. Meaning, I had children and organization took a back seat along with painting my nails and coloring my hair :) I am very frustrated at the general lack of organization in my life and I have been trying to change this. Enter pinterest......
We have had a snack cupboard in our kitchen for awhile, and once I learned to keep it clean I love it. The biggest tip I discovered on pinterest is to take everything out of its package when you get it home. Then you don't have a million boxes in the cupboard with one granola bar in them.
I keep 2 tupperware tubs in the cabinet. One is for Nathan snacks and lunch items, the other is for more general snack items. When Nathan needs a snack in the afternoon or I am packing his lunch I can just take down the tupperware tub and get what I need. In days that we are really rushed I can do lunch in about 15 seconds: crackers, apple sauce, juicebox.

The stowaway

The beginning of January Daniel and I packed up Nathan, and our best friend Joanna and headed to Florida for two weeks. We stayed with Daniel's mom in Daytona Beach for a few days. Then, my parents met us so we could all go on a cruise together; 5 glorious days of fun and food. We had a great time. Lots of sun, sand, and being waited on. We loved it. And now, it turns out, we're going to have a permanent souvenir from our trip. We brought back a stowaway....in my womb. That's right, baby Goulet #2 is on the way. I'm due October 3. Exactly three weeks before Nathans 2nd birthday. All I can say is if baby #2 looks or acts like this guy, my heart's going to explode. Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Warning: Cute overload ahead.

Ode to our awesome friend, Jenna. Jenna is our incredibly funny, caring and all around wonderful neighbor. Not only can she sing, play guitar, have great hair and tie a scarf in 25 different ways, she also can take awesome pictures. Like the pictures that she took of me while I was 9 months pregnant, anyone that can make a hugely pregnant woman look comfortable deserves a medal. She took this belly picture of me: Jenna is also chronically Nathan's growth. She came over the other night to take some Christmas card/one month old pictures. Let's just say that Nathan is not the easiest subject to work with. You have to work around the fact that he doesn't focus, has little head control, and favors looking to the right. Despite these challenges Jenna just sent us these pictures. I can barely handle the cuteness, it makes me temporarily forget the 51 pound weight gain, weeks of puking, and hours of labor. This face makes me become delusional enough to think of how many...

The dog debate

On our drive to school today: Nathan: can we get a dog? Me: no Nathan: when I grow up and have my own house and my own kids in going to wait until everyone is asleep and get them a puppy and a kitty. And put them in a box under the Christmas tree. Me: that sounds like a great plan Elijah: *bursts into tears* I JUST REALLY WANT A PUPPY!
