Something Sweet!

Just discovered the perfect holiday sweet treat! Theo's Peppermint Stick Dark Chocolate bar.  It's the perfect mix between smooth dark chocolate and candy canes!!! I think it made my holiday list of must haves :)

Soooo many choices!

Diapers are the topic...
Why are there so many darn diaper choices!?

We are starting our "Getting Ready for Baby" course tonight and we need to bring a diaper to practice with so I need to go buy a pack.  

Do you go generic with Kirkland or Target or spend more money and buy the Pampers or Huggies brand? Pure & Natural or Regular? Sensitive or Baby Dry?

Lets me just say its all a little overwhelming. Advice is welcomed, please & thank you :)

Ready for Christmas

The tree is up, my toenails are painted red, and I'm ready for Christmas!!!! All I need is presents for under the tree now!

It's so exciting to think that this time next year our little baby boy will be here to join in on the Christmas fun. I can't wait to buy him gifts and get him into the holiday spirit. The holidays are so much better with kids around because they get so excited and bring you back to how you felt as a kid during the holidays.
