Leia’s New Toddler Room

leia_bedding

Hi everyone…I have been slowly turning Leia’s bedroom into a Toddler Room.  Above is what we have now.  The biggest purchase I made was the bed.  We got her a twin bed back in May.  Currently, she sleeps in her own room and on her own bed which she loves!  She loves it so much that she doesn’t want to sleep with us anymore.  She also loves Totoro. I wanted …

Bento Box: Fried Rice and Potstickers

mama_d_bento_1

My sister and I recently started creating lunches for our kids.  We found cute bento boxes and use them to pack our kids’ lunches.  We love the bento boxes because when it comes back to us they are empty or 90% empty. Each week we’ll try to feature a bento box we’ve created for our kids.  This week’s bento box is from Mama D.  I apologize for the poor quality, …

Organize and Clean Desk Area: Done!

IMG_1475

So happy that I finally got a chance to organize the desk area in the kitchen.   This is where I started this blog.  It’s sort of the “heart” of the house since it is where all mail is sorted, bills are paid, keys are kept,  schedules are planned, and where I keep track of everything. You’ll notice a key rack where all our keys are hanged.  My hubby got …

OXO helps this Mama out

159

My daughter loves the OXO flip top snack cup!  This container has been a life saver during car rides.  She can hold on to it while snacking.  You also won’t have to worry about losing the lid since it is a flip top.  I love the non-slip grips on the sides which is perfect for her little hands. In addition to this I also got the 4 piece feeding set …

Summer is here…popsicles are a must!

our_products_quick_pop_maker

Last year I wrote about wanting to make popsicles for my daughter.  Well…I kept my word and got a Zoku popsicle maker.  OHH-EMM-GEE!!! It’s so cool (seriously no pun intended)! It creates popsicles in minutes!  Usually my hubby skips ice cream (yea..I know he’s weird), but when I make these he actually eats them!  Will be sharing with you some of the popsicles I have made later, but just wanted …

Mama Needs Color

893721.ZP_BeachSurf_Banner1

  This may sound a bit vain, but I sort of want my feet done before my baby arrives and been wondering what color to have them done in. Don’t know if you’ve heard of Zoya nail polish yet.  Zoya nail polish is free of toxic ingredients such as toluene, camphor, formaldehyde and DBP (dibutyl phthalate) from nail polish.  I’ve been browsing at Zoya’s website and checking out what color …

Step2 ROCKS!

step2

                                                     (picture from Step 2 website) My daughter’s Step 2 table and chair set arrived last week!  My daughter was so excited and very happy.  My hubby was ecstatic because it was so easy and simple to assemble.  I must admit…it wasn’t what I had in mind.  I was really looking for a wood set, but my sister told me a plastic one would work best since we can keep …

Mini Living Room Makeover

                                              (picture from Woody Liana) Pillows are the easiest way to makeover any room.  I  changed my pillows in my living room and got these new covers (pictured above)  from Woody Liana, a store on Etsy.  They help provide that pop of color in  my living room as well as a more modern touch.  My husband even noticed them …

Adjusting to Changes

day_care

My daughter started day care in mid-March.  We wanted her to get exposed to it because once baby #2 comes she will have to go to day care full time. It started out fine.  I would drive her there, and she’d be talking to me on our way there.  We’d arrive at the facility and drop her off, and she would run to the toy area and start playing with …
