10 on 10 [June]

I just realized I skipped 10 on 10 during the month of May.  Pathetic. 1. Kent's morning off. I'll let you guess who made the pancakes. (Hint: Their name starts with a K. winkyface ) 2. Giving little sis a bath  2. Liza had her four month appointment this morning. The doctor said that she's perfect. Her words, not mine...  3. Our kitchen counter right now. Mostly vacation prep.  4. I took the girls swimming and one of us swam naked so no swimming selfies, sorry.  5. The vigilant life guard. 6. Food tastes better after a swim. That's a fact!  7.

We've taken a few steps backwards with our big girl bed transition.

Work hard at it, grade those stupid papers on time- don't wait until Sunday night and don't sit at your desk wishing you could be at home wearing sweatpants with babies hanging onto your ankles. That day will come. Lawd child, that day will come. 3.The cute, quite guy who's a l...

May & June Goals

I didn't write down my May Goals (which may have been beneficial in a weird sort of way   to my productivity) but here are my May Goals  {in Review} (LAST May) 1. Watch an embarrassingly large amount of HGTV  I mentioned before that we had a free month of HGTV and we're proud to say that we ROCKED THIS GOAL. 2. Act Right Feel Right There were a number of things that fell under this goal. Things like... -Stop buying random junk and buy the $10 bath mat that you think is overpriced -Organize the garage because if I hit my car door on one more stroller/dog/grill, I might burn the whole place down 3. Make one change for the girls This could've been potty training, thumb sucking or big girl bed transition. We tackled the Big Girl Bed Move and I'm still too "into it" to write any sort of wise or witty blog post about it. Maybe next month week? This move allowed Liza to move from pack n play to the crib and I'm pretty sure I saw her mouth ...
