There’s our mom to be, Hillary, opening her gifts. We had such a great morning celebrating with her at The Herb Box. I indulged in red velvet pancakes and - along with all of the other ladies – oohed and ahhed over all the darling little girl things she received. Congratulations, Hillary!

The Friendship Hat: Play Dates!
Tonight, Kelsey and I hosted a fun play date. While the daddy’s hung out (Fantasy Football Draft), us mommy’s got together for a little fun. We played with all kinds of toys, ran around the house toddler-style and formed a three kid band. Oh, and we all painted our nails. In this photo, Morgan has no pants, Kelsey is in […]
The Mommy Hat: Monkey See. Monkey Do.
She was acting like a monkey the other day. Running around being super silly and acting like a crazy woman. She makes me laugh. Morning. Noon. And night. I just can’t get enough.
The Holiday Hat: Too Soon to Decorate?
Your Facebook news feed might be full of people complaining about holiday decorations already in retail stores. But you won’t see any of those posts from me. Because Halloween decorations = fall. Which = cooler weather. Which equates to me being that much closer to being done with this uncomfortable amazing pregnancy number 2. That said, I put these […]
The Mom Hat: Some Mornings
Some mornings go like this: You are all dressed for work, laptop bag in hand, about to run out the door, when you look back at your little Princess eating Cheerios at the big girl table. You have to stop. You cancel your morning trip to Starbucks and risk being late to work. Because, this moment is too precious to […]
The Working Mom Hat: Pregnancy Craving
I was coming back from a hotel meeting at The St. Regis Monarch Beach when something amazing caught my eye. Located in their lobby cafe, crust, was this Milk Chocolate bag of heaven. I had to have it. With good intentions I bought it thinking, “Ryan will love this sweet gesture.” I got as far […]
The Parenting Hat: Toddler Girl Room
Fairy wall decals – what a cute idea for a baby shower or a gift! In fact, I might just be buying one for Kelsey’s room. Now that she can reach the light switches, she goes around turning lights off and on. I wonder how long it would take her to notice Tinker Bell sitting […]
The Mommy Hat: I’m such a sap
I spent a good 25 minutes laying in Kelsey’s room tonight … crying. I couldn’t stop. I was just looking at her sweet face and could picture two years ago, when she was just a wee thing. Maybe it’s the pregnancy hormones, or just a mom’s realization that their kid is growing up way too fast, but […]
The Culinary Hat: White Chicken Enchiladas
I’m making these tonight, Easy & Creamy White Chicken Enchiladas. When I find recipes online, I make sure I read through all of the reader comments before preparing. Sometimes readers leave some of the best tips. And for someone who isn’t good at cooking (I once put salad in the freezer to chill it just a bit) I need all of […]
