SHOPPING
2/366
January 3, 2012Two days in and I’ve already sort of broken two of my resolutions. We were going to try and eat out less in 2012. And then we ate out tonight. We couldn’t even make it through the first week without eating out, so I think I’m going to addend my resolution to say that […]
Read MoreAdvent Calendar Poo Surprise: December 19th
December 19, 2011I think my guys got horse poo in their advent calendar today: (It’s the horse theme one by Playmobil. Does anyone else have this advent calendar for their kids?) I wasn’t too sure but then I looked a little closer and this was all that was in Day 19. What else could it be? Is […]
Read MoreAlright Hubby, here’s my wishlist:
December 18, 2011“Where’s your wishlist? ” the hubby asked me smugly after I made him watch the Glee Christmas Episode. “Me? I don’t have one. I have everything I need, “said the Good Wife. Well, almost everything I need…. So Love, if you really want to know, this Christmas I’m just wishing for a little bit of […]
Read MoreLittle Toy Trains. Part One.
December 15, 2011I have to admit right now I’m a little jealous of my friends with little girls. I love the mom and daughter nails thing. I dream about doing Disney Princess tea. And when I heard in Daily Candy that my favorite local hairdo place Swink is doing Mom and Daughter hairdos I had a little […]
Read MorePhotobooth Shenanigans
December 14, 2011Best three dollars I’ve spent in a while and you can even use a credit card these days. This photobooth is one of the only ones I know about in Seattle and I hope it’s still there. This photobooth is in Westlake Center. You see it immediately when you come off the monorail near the […]
Read MoreNaughty or Nice?
December 2, 2011If only these came in the boys’ size…. I got all festive after I took Trophy Cupcakes cupcake decorating class last night. It was such a fun night-we learned from the owner Jennifer, herself, and she is such a sweet and creative lady-I was totally in awe. There was champagne and cupcakes to nibble on […]
Read MoreSanta and Wishlists
November 29, 2011The nice thing about going to visit Santa on a rainy day at a Christmas tree farm is that you don’t have a line and the kids get a chance to “really talk” to the big guy and tell him what they want. Santa and wishlists are such a big deal right now in our […]
Read MoreFive things I’m looking for on Black Friday
November 22, 2011In an ideal world, I’d sleep all day Thursday in preparation for my favorite holiday of the year-Black Friday-but two 3-year old boys and a husband who loathes shopping is a huge obstacle on game day and efficiency, planning and a lot more online than real-world shopping is my current game-plan. So five things […]
Read MoreNew Puppies!
October 30, 2011No, we didn’t get puppies, but a neighbor’s dog did. The boys have been excited about them ever since and whine to us daily that they want little black and white dogs. They were invited to hold the teeny puppies and I’ve never seen the guys so still or so smiley in my life. admin

Bento love:)
August 19, 2011There is nothing cuter than an adorable bento lunch, and after I went to a class a couple months ago put on by Chef Shirley, a lovely local blogger, I decided that I wanted to try making yummy and cute lunches for the boys. My Auntie P also sent me a book around this time […]

Great Airplane Books for Toddlers
August 9, 2011Right now, the boys are definitely in love with airplane books, and here are a few we have been reading to prep for some upcoming getaways: Airplane Flight has lift-up flaps and a catchy-rhyme-y story. The boys love the part where the plane flies around a storm. The Bean was awake when we went through […]
Read MoreSimply the Best (Pike Place Market, Seattle)
August 5, 2011See that bag the Bean is clutching so tightly? We finally tried Simply the Best Apples (the fuji ones) at the Pike Place Market the other day and we can’t get enough. I think they’re a healthy snack too. Just another reason we need to go to the market again soon. This stall is located […]
Read MoreWorkout Want List
May 12, 2011Working out for health or looking good are great reasons but I need a workout incentive plan to force myself to the gym and in the long run the price of the incentive is WAY less then paying for the healthcare from not exercising, right?. Currently there are a couple things driving me to sweat. […]
Read MoreHow Magical is UPS?
April 8, 2011Let’s see. Somewhere at UPS headquarters someone coordinated a delivery so that an important package with these spring necessities could get here just in time for the sun to start shining brightly in Seattle. No, I didn’t wear them to the zoo today, but the […]
Read MorePotty Training M and M’s
April 7, 2011I’m still debating whether or not I should fork out for these M and M’s I want to make-the smallest quantity you can order is three bags and I’m not sure I need THAT many. I’ve heard about using treats for potting training and then had this brilliant idea of using only brown and yellow […]
Read MoreKing Frog
March 27, 2011Don’t be fooled by how cute this guy looks-he is quite the disciplinarian and this guy rules our house: I remember using timers in my classroom when I used to teach (and bells and horns and sometimes flares) and I heard from many double mommas before me how timers work for teaching kids to share […]
Read MoreYes my babies can use chopsticks!
December 15, 2010Here’s the proof: I can’t get them to flip on this website. Anyone know what I can do? You can also check out the video right-side up here. And here’s the link on Amazon.com where I just bought a zillion of them! These things are amazing! admin

They also have a Jelly Belly stand, where you can find bags of […]

Seattle Public Library Spanish Storytime(Downtown Seattle, WA)
November 29, 2010I’m not sure how a trip to the post office brought us downtown to the library, but we had a great morning riding the escalators, shopping in the “Friends of the Library” store and hanging out in the Children’s section. The only two pictures I got from this morning are here: They don’t do the […]
