Me and My Friend - KAITLYN!

For all of you wondering who is the Kaitlyn girl that Chris and I talk about (Jack’s partner at crime), here she is!  Jack and Kaitlyn hang out ever day with their other cutie friend Chase (unfortunately I can never pick Jack up in time to see the little guy), they give each other kisses and hugs and love to spend their time "playing" with the same toy (which usually leads to one of them getting upset, which leads to the hugs and kisses and so on and so on)...

Wrestling in Jack's Bed...wait a minute...

So sweet!

Awesome Gifts from my Favourite Kids - Part 3

As there is a new Enns baby set to debut next month (Yay Steven and Mel!), and who knows how many more Blatz babies to come, I feel a reoccurring blog theme here!

When Papa was admitted to the hospital he had many visits from all of his grandkids. On one particular visit, an antsy Leif, Matias, and I decided to go exploring (PS walking around with these cuties sure is an attention grabber – until Matias scowls at a lovely lady that asks him to say “hi” to her sick mother, that is). After venturing down some pretty cool hallways, we found ourselves in the hospital gift shop determined to get Papa the perfect present to lift his spirits.

After a completely failed effort by Auntie Mara to steer the boys in the direction of “Get Well Soon” balloons and cards, this is what we ended up with…

Papa had so much fun explaining to each nurse that it was not actually his 50th birhday! (Not pictured, the ever so thoughtful tube of of Vaseline that accompanied the card)

The Mommy Diet

I love finding and sharing a good book and The Mommy Diet by Alison Sweeny is definitely on the top of my list! The book is broken down into chapters ranging from getting ready to be pregnant, each trimester of pregnancy, the post partum months, all the way to maintenance and kick starting a new you (I actually purchased this book before I found out that I was pregnant again).

Furthermore, each chapter includes awesome recipes and meal plans, realistic workouts with playlists, fashion advice, and general “taking care of you” ideas that are actually realistic (think of Alison Sweeny as the Rachel Ray of Mommyhood as apposed to the Martha).
