So what on earth happened to the last 10 days. I was suppose to be on week 3 of my My Three Words feature, there have been no posts, no updates, nothing. Camp has come and gone and I’m no where to be found. So what have I been up to…? Here’s my camp project. [...]

So here’s the other thief of my time that I didn’t even see coming. When May and I were planning our girls weekend we picked two movies (not that we ever finish watching anything since we always fall asleep).

In a nut shell, you describe your week in three words and it is usually submitted via video (I’ll work up to that). I highly recommend checking out the video clips on GMA’s website.

8 Week Old Mum

Posted in Baby Things, Life Lessons on July 6, 2009 | 4 Comments »

One of the hardest parts about becoming a mother (for me) has been the management of time.
