CATCH UP FRIDAY

Breakfast consists of gluten free chocolate and coffee cupcakes and a giant cup of kona coffee. I know super healthy right? Oh and did I mention it's lunch time??? After a long day of traveling back home to Arizona, I've been running around like a crazy person trying to get organized and back on schedule. Hence, the cupcakes for breakfast. A big thank you to me sweet neighbor for baking these delicious cups of joy!

DIY HOLIDAY CARDS

Commuting from one place to another with a baby is really tough if you live in a place primarily run by public transportation and taxis. Prior to our trip, I went on the internet in search of a plan to get around the city in the most convenient way.

THE JOYS OF TEETHING

My little princess who slept soundly through the night is now being woken by those unforgiving teething pains. At 8 months old, and with two of her bottom teeth grown in, I thought the rest would be easy? Right? Over night she got 4 teeth and she DEFINITELY let me know about it! With all the tears, and testing of what seems like dozens of teething remedies, I thought it was appropriate to write about what's worked for her! Hopefully it helps you!!!
