Inside Look: Muddle and Match: Imagine

I now sell Usborne and Kane Miller books 🙂 This blog will give you inside looks at some books, info on new releases, and a lot more! I'm hoping to reach as many people as I can to get more books in their kids' hands! 😀

Meet Danny

Here's Danny! He loves "reading," plays with his feet, rolls over, and loves when his sister gives him kisses ❤ I snapped this picture real quick after getting home from his grandpas birthday lunch today. 😁

New things.

It has been a really long time. 😦 I have been dealing with a lot of issues lately, and I suspect a mild case of post-partum depression was the main culprit. I didn't get help, I've just been dealing with it. But things are getting better, I think. Chelsea is now 1 1/2 years old …

“Do you feel different now that you’re a mom?”

I don’t know where to start. I thought motherhood would change me in some way, that’s what everyone says. But truly, honestly, it hasn’t changed me one bit. Let me explain. Before Chelsea, I worried, constantly. I played worst-case scenarios in my head non-stop. I had this feeling that I can only explain as the …

Fence completion

The front of the fence is done! It looks really good, in my opinion. We still have one side to do that blocks the front yard from the driveway, but that will be easy because it will just be metal panels secured in another concrete curb (it will be where the barely visible temporary fence …

Fence update

We have one half of our fence up! (Minus the walk through gate) Here's what we have now. I'm pretty proud of Greg for this. I love the way it looks, and I don't think I've seen anything like it before. The weather has really been putting a damper on our progress since this (pun …

Cutting teeth??

This morning I was awoken by a screaming baby. That's always fun. She never does that. Never screams like that, and she always wakes up happy and smiling. I have a feeling that she is beginning to cut teeth. She does a whole lot of grabbing her face, chewing on her hands, tugging her ears, …

3 Months – Time flies

Chelsea is 3 months old already (in two days... but close enough). Let's see... At her 2 month doctor visit, she weighed 9 lbs 4 oz. I don't have a scale that's as accurate as the doctor's, but when I weigh her now by holding her (I know it's not a great way, but it …

Fences and the laundry room

Every week brings us closer and closer to this house turning into our forever home. It's still in pretty bad shape all around, but it's getting there. Greg is working hard to do what he can after work and on our already busy weekends. For the past couple of weeks, we have been focusing on …

A quick update

Everything has been wonderful since Chelsea arrived. She is now 6 weeks, usually as happy as can be, and I am absolutely dreading going back to work. I'm really struggling with whether I will go back at all, but we would need the money. So I can either go back to work, or stop procrastinating, …
