Last weekend Noby and I headed down to CT for a little Memere/Grandpa-time.  Both Noby and I needed it!  It was great to go and just hang out.  We had nothing planned and no running around that had to be done, it was great to just chill with them.

Yesterday Noby turned 16 months!!! I can’t even believe that my little baby is 16 months!!! I guess I can’t call him a baby anymore.  He is such a little boy!

So I know why Santa (I mean my mom!) knows me so well… it’s because I’m just like her!  The older I get (and becoming a mom) has really shown me it’s true.  And you know what?  I love it!  Last night we talked on the phone for 30 minutes discussing our new craft project.  [...]

As most of you know I have a soft spot in my heart for kitchen stuff!  I love any type of small gadget that isn’t really necessary to work in a kitchen and I just LOVE serving platters!  I’m sure Ichiro will unhappily agree with both of these points. Well every year Santa sticks some [...]
