Family
Vomit two days in a row!
The last two days have been drama with the kids! We had a fun little couple date night planned for Friday night. The kids were all going to go to a little program that their school offered for parents to have a kid-free Friday night (and Maisie was okayed to go as well). I was a bit nervous of how she would do because of the jet lag and more transition, but my hopes were high as I am in desperate need of some time with adults. So I braved it and left her. Not a good idea. Not a good idea at all. We made it to the sushi restaurant and ordered our food and right then is when we got the call. I watched as my sister’s face turned from annoyed to shocked to concerned. I knew exactly what had happened. Amy grabbed her purse and we both…
Read MoreConfessions of a Hippie Mom (judge if you like)
Sometimes I like to just come out with all the things that I am sometimes embarrassed of or think people will judge me on, just to get it off my chest. Now is one of those times. I think part of me does this to prove to myself that I am not so crazy, while another part of me just wants to be seen as normal, so by sharing what I do on my blog, I hope to make the things I do normal! Why do I even care to be “normal” and what is “normal” anyways!?!? The first thing that I have been ashamed to admit is that I am still breast-feeding. Some people are shocked to hear this as my little nugget will be two in December!!! I would have NEVER thought in a million years that I would nurse this long. NO WAY!!! Before Maisie was born,…
Read MoreGrandma Ann has funky taste!
Justin’s mom had asked us if she could buy Maisie a new pair of shoes, since Maisie was growing out of her shoes so quickly! We had accepted her generous offer and asked if she would get a pair of white or brown converse for Maisie. If you know my mother in law, she did NOT come back with a boring colored pair of converse, but VERY much her own taste wrapped up in a little pair of converse! Hey, at least she didn’t stray from the converse! I was a bit unsure about them at first, but now that Maisie is wearing them all the time and LOVES them, I think they are pretty cute!! Thanks Grandma Ann! Here are a couple pictures of Maisie wearing her shoes! They fit her now! A little bit big, but they work! So you as you can see from the pictures above,…
Read MoreMoon Song
When we all stayed in California, my mom and Maisie would go outside at night and look at the moon. Of course my mom made up a “Moon song” to go along with their little nightly outings outside. “Moon moon, in the sky, in the sky, way up high.” Here is Maisie singing it in Barcelona! The sky was actually clear enough to see the moon (which does NOT happen in overcast Amsterdam)!
Read MoreOur trip to Spain
So I realized that I actually took WAY more videos than pictures while in Barcelona. Pooey. But here are a few pictures from our time in Barcelona and Valencia. I am in the process of uploading videos from the trip, so I will have to post those to my blog in the near future for all to see who want to see! Overall it was a great trip to Spain! In Valencia we found a pub called Portland! It is owned by two Americans (one of them is actually Spanish, but grew up in America)! We stayed up the last night there and chatted with them till past midnight! We had a really great time in both cities for different reasons. Videos to come! Ok, ok, I will post ONE video right now. Here it is! The first day in Barcelona as Maisie waited for Justin to bring ice cream!
Read MoreFun Day Out
Justin and I had a really fun day out in Amsterdam yesterday! We needed to talk about some things for the future and really just needed some time together, so we just walked across Amsterdam and had a blast together! Here are a couple pictures from our little outing!

I’m not sure my title even makes sense. But I needed to communicate just how much I freakin’ love technology! SO MUCH! Here is a video of Maisie and her cousins singing and playing together over the good old video cam!
