We put up our Christmas tree this week and it was extra special because this is Evelyn’s first Christmas! We got a real tree and we had all these intentions of making a trip to a Christmas tree farm to cut down our own tree, but alas, we ended up picking this one out at […]
Introducing Baby to First Solid Food
Baby Bear got her first taste of baby cereal yesterday! She seemed to like it and ate almost the whole serving both yesterday and again today. She had a harder time sitting still in the high chair long enough to eat. We started in the high chair but had to finish with her on my […]
An Adventure Out With Baby Bear
This past weekend my husband Stan, Evelyn, our friend Theresa and I went to Silver Bells in the City. It is a Lansing, MI tradition that kicks off the holiday season.

Lifestyle Change Ahead
This past weekend my husband and I decided it was time for some change. I’m not going to call it a diet because I HATE the word diet when used that way. If you eat food you’re on a diet, whether it be a fast food diet or a trendy paleo diet…it’s a diet. I […]
