Day

By
Although today wasn't what I had hoped it was be, since I was supposed to be in Philadelphia, it has been an overall nice day.

Hubby has helped with Lil Man. I've been able to get some things done on the computer. Hubby even went and got me a milkshake and brought it home to me. And he's even picking up something for dinner. YEAH, I don't have to cook.

Unfortunately, I didn't get any housework done today. I'll put that on tomorrow's to do list, along with the grocery list.

I can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving already. I'm cooking again this year. I'm sure there will be numerous calls to my mom (again) like last year. So, how long am I supposed to cook this turkey? And I have to take what out of it?  ;)

I'm planning on making Hubby a pumpkin pie. I'm not into pie and neither is Lil Man. So I'm thinking about making us some sugar cookies and letting him help decorate with sprinkles. We'll see how that goes. I just hope to make it fun.

Although we don't have any family nearby, the three of us are trying to make our own traditions. It can get a little lonely around the holidays, but we are thankful to have each other. It's fun to see Lil Man experience the holidays.

Last year he had a stomach bug and vomited at Thanksgiving Dinner. Hopefully this year won't be a repeat of last!

Adfilic Bluetooth Stereo Portable Wireless Speaker Review and Giveaway

By
I love music and streaming music through various apps on my iPhone. But with the case that I have on my phone, it sort of blocks the speakers a little. I can hear, but it can be a little muffled. So when I heard about the  Adfilic Bluetooth Stereo Portable Wireless Speaker  I jumped at the chance to try it. I was a little nervous since there really wasn't a lot of instructions on setup. I mean it had the usual pictures of this button does this etc, but there really wasn't a lot of documentation with it. So I was a little apprehensive at first.  But it didn't take me too long to realize that I didn't need a lot of instruction. It was pretty much straight forward. Charge it. After it was charged, turn it on. I went into my connections on my iPhone. It immediately found it, paired, and I was good to go.  I did get a little confused on which button was volume up (and down). But after a little trial and error with that, I've had absolutely zero iss

What Summer Taught Me

By
This Summer has been a big learning experience - for both Lil Man and myself. Who knew that an amusement park could be such a learning experience for both of us. I watched as my little boy, all on his own, climbed stairs among strangers, learned how to wait his turn, slide down a water slide, and do it over and over again. I watched as other kids shoved him out of their way, cut in front of him as he stood patiently 'waiting for his turn'. Groves of bigger kids kept cutting in front of him, and I held back and gave him time to respond. This for me was a learning experience. See, people have to have room or space to grow. So I learned how to let go, let out the leash a little, and give Lil Man some space. The first time the kids pushed him aside, he really didn't know what to do. After a few minutes of this, I did intervene. I told him to get in line. Take his turn, and when it was his turn he was to go. And the next time as other kids pushed past him, it only took a few

Little Buffalo State Park

By
I don't know about where you live, but where we live we are within driving distance to several State Parks. And because the weather has been so cool this Summer, and although it's August, last week was the first time we'd been to the pool. Lil Man had a blast. We had hoped some friends could join us today, but no one was available. But we ventured out, just the two of us, and we had a blast. The water was still pretty cold. In fact, we would get in - play for awhile - then get out and sit on a beach towel in the sun to warm up. This seemed to work well. We splurged and Lil Man enjoyed his first chocolate chipwich. He exclaimed "It's a cookie AND ice cream!" I do believe he thought it was a genius idea. Although it can be exhausting as my Lil Man is one that wants me to definitely join in with him with the sprinklers etc, it was pure joy to watch him enjoy himself. I think this picture speaks for itself. I hope you are enjoying your last few days
