If there is one person in our family who hasn’t been getting as much attention since the baby came along, it’s Mr. Miles. He was the first addition to our family and sadly for him he rarely makes it into a photo opt. Thus, the other day I decided to capture our little man. Only, as I […]

The Parenting Hat: Homemade Playdough
I love learning how to do new things! Especially when those new things come from fellow bloggers. This is something I’m eager to try: Homemade playdough. I first learned about it here, but the playdough recipe and images below come from here. I think I’ll give it a whirl. I can’t bake that well, but since no one has […]
The Wife Hat: Buckle Up, Baby
My husband is always cool, calm and collected. He is kind of superhuman in this regard. So, when he does get upset or frustrated, it’s actually kind of funny. As his wife, it is my job to nag, poke fun and show videos of him in these moments. . Here is a funny video (well, it’s […]
The Easter Hat: Then and Wow
Easter was extra special this year because I got to experience it through the eyes of a child. My child. It was a magical Sunday, complete with one puffy yellow dress, two ruffled socks, one pink purse and an over-sized Easter bonnet. It’s remarkable to see how much she has grown in one year. . We spent the […]

Here is baby the other morning, before school, helping mommy water the plants […]

The Wife Hat: Sitting in St. Lucia
Three years ago, this week, we were on our honeymoon in St. Lucia. We had no idea what life had in store for us (all we knew is that we were going to do it together). We didn’t know we would soon be raising our world’s most perfect baby girl. Our lives have been so fulfilled within the last three years. […]
The Family Hat: Learning to Expect the Unexpected
Here we are, minding our own business at the park, when (about 1 minute into the video) the dog does something I didn’t expect. PS – How did my husband not notice the dog did this? He was standing right there! Men … go figure. .
The Family Hat: The Look
Last night we took baby bug to dinner with my in-laws. Her cousin, Connor (6 months older) was trying to play with her all night. I love the look that she is giving him in this photo. Proof that “the look” is inherited in women from birth.
