Where O Where?

Have you been wondering where I am?

Don't worry, so have I.

Life has been a bit insane lately. Lots and lots going on, which in general, isn't much different than usual, I know. But Jonah's new thing is fighting bedtime. And when I am busy, spending hours (yes...hours!) trying to get a 3 year old to go to bed, it leaves little to no time to blog. Or think. Or sleep myself.

Needless to say, I am exhausted.

I have so many blog posts already written in my head, just begging to get out! So manyproduct reviews and adventures and events and activities I want to tell you all about. I even have a to-do list right on my iMac desktop just gathering dust.

Now, look on the brightside! Because I have recently implemented a strict (and lengthy) bedtime routine that I truly hope will bring some peace to this entire household. It will be going into full swing tomorrow, so please, for the love of goodness, wish me luck.

Oh, and in case you are wondering, potty training is going exceptionally well!! I am so proud of him.  And now that I think of it, I wonder if these recent bout's of defiance have something to do with potty training?!? Because it all started shortly after we began potty training him. Has anyone else ever experienced a change in behavior at a time of transition like potty training or some other significant event in the child's life?  I'd love to hear your input. Or at least your condolences, and a promise that it will get better? It gets better.....right?

RIGHT?????

Party on Bill. Party on Ted.

With the kids birthdays just around the corner (both in March), I have started thinking about themes for their parties. Lily will be 1 and Jonah will be 3, so I pretty much still have control over them as of now, so I am wanting to go all out!

For baby girl, I want something girly, but not traditional. I want something unique and fresh and new. Suggestions?

For Jonah, I am pretty lucky because we are having his party somewhere that doesn't require us to purchase themed anything, they provide it ALL! Now, that doesn't mean I won't turn on them, and tell them I want them to use the cups, napkins, and plates I provide. LOL. I am thinking of something to do with music, guitars, and possibly the BEATLES for him!

Do you have any fun and interesting birthday theme ideas for your little ones? I'd love for you to share, or give me and tips or advice for throwing the perfect parties!
