Living Room
We went to New Jersey to visit my cousins for Thanksgiving. It was wonderful. That night we stayed in Philadelphia and the hotel had the most beautiful lobby. Both Jason and I loved it.
When You Grow Up?
I feel like we ask our kids all the time what they want to be when they grow up. My son is the king of dreaming big and small. Some weeks he wants to be a garbage man and some weeks he wants to be the president. I love that he chooses solely on whether it seems interesting.
Darby Smart
I just ordered from the cutest company! It is called Darby Smart. It is this awesome concept where you order a crafting kit and it comes with everything you need to complete the project.
London 2013
We had the opportunity to jump over to London for a week last month and it was fabulous. It is a beautiful city and a great place to visit with kids.
Life Lately
Calder loves preschool. I always knew he would. It just took him a month (or two) to warm up to it.
Spending Fast Week 3
As has been true to form the third week of the spending fast is kicking my trash. We are running out of snacks and cereal left and right. I LOVE having a bowl of cereal in the evening, but that has stopped this week. I have been doing more baking than usual this week, which is helping the snack load. We have muffins, cookies and granola bars around.
Spending Fast 2013
All right guys! It is time for the annual spending fast! So for the month of April I will not be spending money. I know it's a little late in the year but due to some travel I have delayed it this year. That's great news though. You can all join in. Here's how it works.
Quick Valentine's Day Craft
If you need an inexpensive and quick project to brighten up this love holiday, this is it!! The finished product can be a coaster, window or wall decor, added to a pin for a wearable valentine, slapped on a headband, clip or bobby pin, or used on the table to add color and holiday spirit.
Revlon Expression Experiment
I love the way Revlon creates makeup that is so easy to use. The eye shadow set they sent me came with four eye shadows to use together to make a fabulous looking eye! And on the back they included instructions how to create something awesome. Thank goodness. I got a late start on the makeup gig and now that I have two kids I don't have as much time to experiment. Revlon made it easy.
List as of Late
I am loving being a mom of two. I am surprised how nicely their demands are met in shifts and it is rare that they both urgently need me at the same time. I love that I can give Calder one on one attention while Colette sleeps and Colette gets special time while Calder has quiet time.
School Supplies
I am so excited for Calder to start preschool this year. It will be fabulous for his independence and social skills. He is thrilled. I am also excited that this is the first year I get to buy school supplies for my kid.
Where I've Been
Well, I've been away for a while. Two months to be exact. Colette Abigail Wilcox was born on May 19. We've been having fun as a family of four.

Today I'm guest posting over at The S.I.P. Project! Head on over if you want to see more of this:
Car Seat Cover
This is probably nesting project number 245. I am so feeling the nesting instinct. It's great! I have not been sleeping as much but am accomplishing more. I do resolve to sleep more because at some point it will catch up and I don't want that to be when I have this baby! She's due in 5 weeks!
