Cafe Culture: Rookie Mom Challenge

Not only am I late in completing this challenge, but I am late in posting it too. Challenge 1 of the Rookie Mom Challenges is to pretend you are in Europe. One morning (about two weeks ago, blogging FAIL), I had a little time to kill while running errands, so I stopped at our local Starbucks. I know that there are better breakfast places, but none were nearby and Starbucks does keep a few tables outside. It was so nice to sit and relax for a little while with a sleeping Peanut before I had to run off and pick up Munchkin.

In the next few weeks, while the weather is getting even nicer, I might have a redo of this challenge at a new breakfast place. I'm kind of hoping that it is something that I'll be able to do through the summer, but that's going to depend on plans not yet made.

One challenge down, fifty-one to go (and I'm still playing catch-up).

Bringing the Animals to the Zoo

Earlier this week I brought the boys to the Bronx Zoo. It was a beautiful seventy-something day, and Peanut's first trip.

Just chillin' with the peacocks

We were lucky enough to meet up with my sister-in-law and nephews. Munchkin was running around like crazy with his cousin and it made me realize that my days of going to the zoo solo were over for a while.

I had gotten so used to my trips with Munchkin, that I didn't think how throwing another child in the mix would change things (even if that child is still to young to move and stays in the stroller).

We're looking forward to a lot of trips with uncles (and Daddy). How do you handle these kind of trips with multiple children?

King of the Playground

So I obviously fail at blogging. I was supposed to be working on my Rookie Mom Challenge this weekend, but instead, I was working on this.

In other news, Munchkin is now three years old. And I'm not sure how that happened, because it definitely doesn't feel like three years have gone by.

We did the party low key this year, just a few friends in the park. With Peanut, I was not going to be able to go all out, especially since I can't even seem to find the time to type a few blog posts.

Luckily the weather cooperated with us, and what three year old doesn't love to to be king of the playground?

The Rookie Mom Challenges

I'm not exactly a rookie mom, but I've been feeling like one recently. So I've decided to try the Rookie Mom Challenges, and my plan is to post weekly as I complete them. Obviously, I'm starting a little behind, but I'm hoping to catch up on the first few weeks. I will officially start next weekend with week six, but I try to get a few of the earlier weeks in first (some will be easier than others). So while I focus on Easter with the family this weekend, I'll start catching up during the week.

If you haven't already checked out The Rookie Moms, you should. I didn't discover them until Munchkin was a little older, but they have a lot of great advice for moms, rookies and veterans alike.

Happy St Patrick's Day!

Munchkin, Peanut and I are still here! More to come soon as we get a little more settled.

Moral of the Story? Don't Procrastinate.

I had been slowly working on things around here, updating and working on new posts. Then this happened about a week earlier than I expected.

There was a lot of stuff that I had planned to finish first, both here and in life. Just goes to show you that life doesn't always work out as you plan.

Right now, Hubby, Munchkin and I are adjusting to life at home with Peanut. Things are gong to slow down a little more around here as we get into a new rhythm, but I do plan on continuing.

So while I'm not as far along as I had hoped I would be at this point, I'm still here.

Wordless Wednesday at 39 Weeks
