Teach Me How to Mommy

It didn't dawn on me until this morning that perhaps every member of my family is adjusting differently to the news that there is a baby on his or her way.   I've been so focused on keeping up with the two I have (and a new position at work) that thinking about what happens after the baby actually gets here has not been high on the priority list. Yet I am fresh off a rough week with my youngest and all of a sudden thinking about the future is all I can think about. Sure it's been a tiring week (aren't we all feeling it).  He's also three, which has revealed its own challenges - ones that I am not accustomed to when he was two. But he's also about to be a big brother.  He's been my baby for three years and in less than two months that's going to change - permanently.  I'm a middle child - I know! So last night when he woke up at 2am, crying and moaning I pulled him close to me and placed him gently right in my bed.  He put his arms around me...

WINTER IS COMING! ......though it might not feel like it with the extra warm weather Central CT was having.  We've both been sort of dreading the winter months...  once that snow and bitter cold hits it's hard not to feel stuck in the house. There is about to be no more running out of the house on a whim to a playground, no more outside play as soon as we get home from school... no more soccer on the weekends, AND now we'll need to bundle up, find the hat and HOPEFULLY matching gloves,  and re-enter the battle of the dreaded SNOW BOOTS...  ohhh snow boots... As a result, this year we have decided to compile ourselves a list of Winter fun! We encourage you to add to our list, and to join us on our adventures!   We also promise to update and link you to all of the fun that we have.   Be sure that you are following us on Facebook & Instagram for the LIVE updates of all our fun!.
