We were out to lunch the other day and the family at the table next to ours was looking at some video on the dad’s new smart phone.
Suddenly, their son exclaimed (in a voice the volume of which only a super excited 9 or 10-year-old boy can reach)
“WOW! Look at her b@@bs jiggle!”
We could only try desperately not to blow our drinks out our noses while we laughed so hard at the embarrassed parents.
And be thankful it wasn’t one our kids.
Go visit Kendra’s site, Preschoolers and Peace to read an interview I did for her about exercising and being a mom of young kids! And then look around at all her amazingly helpful posts 
The first rooms you see when you walk into our new house are the worst rooms downstairs: the school room (supposed to be the dining room) and the office/workout/craft room (a family room, I think is what it is supposed to be called).
Here are what the bookshelves in the office currently look like:
Yeah. Great first impression, eh?
I’ve left a lot of empty space so that I can add some decorative elements, and what is there needs to be rearranged, but that’s about as far as I’ve gotten.
Anyone have any great pictures of their bookshelves or know of a really good decorating tutorial?
Because I obviously need help!
The kids love our new house in Virginia. It’s bigger than our last two houses and it has stairs, which is enough for them.
Why do they think stairs are so exciting? All I know is that I have a contraction every time I have to climb them, and the last time I was pregnant in a house that had stairs, I broke my ankle!
But besides the size and the stairs, it also has wildlife.
During the day dragonflies dance around our backyard and at night fireflies haunt our front yard.
Squirrels, rabbits and even a turtle have visited our backyard-
We discovered that the pear tree in our backyard has a bird’s nest (insert partridge in a pear tree joke here)-
But the best thing about this house?
Meet our new puppy, Ginger-
