Vivi-isms

*farts* “Whoa, that was my butt waking up.” ***** *seated at a very busy restaurant, large man walks by* “That’s a very big boy, I’ll bet he has a very large bellybutton on his butt. But you don’t. You have hair!” (Butt Bellybutton = Male Genitalia.) ***** *Addie comes home from school, Vivi is veryContinue reading “Vivi-isms”

boatcation: on the boatgram edition

Most of our time was spent on the water slides, can you tell? One major bummer is the big slides weren’t working for the first four days (half) of our trip. Since school was back in session, there weren’t many kids on board so it didn’t seem to be a huge priority to get itContinue reading “boatcation: on the boatgram edition”

photo mess? this life will bring you photo bliss.

There has been one item on almost every to-do list for the past three years, chances are you have a similar one on yours — or at least the thought in the back of your mind. “I need to organize and back up all my photos and videos.” You with me? Good, keep reading: SinceContinue reading “photo mess? this life will bring you photo bliss.”

boatcation: off the boatgram edition

What we did on each stop: Grand Turk: There was a beach and Margaritaville pool right off the pier, rather than taking a taxi to a more private beach we figured we’d go with what was there. The girls were able to witness a beer belly competition. So, that was fun to explain. (Free, asideContinue reading “boatcation: off the boatgram edition”

boatcation: puerto ricogram edition

Nothing wraps up climbing a bazillion 300-year-old stairs like buying pastries from the back of a truck on a street corner. Old San Juan? We dig you. (Pictured: Old San Juan, Castillo San Felipe Del Morro and Santa Maria Magdelena de Pazzis Cemetery)

random ankles

It was one of those moments when I want to tell those who choose to be child-free, “YOU MADE A FINE CHOICE FOR YOURSELF. I ENVY THAT YOU WILL NEVER BE COVERED IN POO AT THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.”

straight teeth without getting stabbed by metal (sponsored by Invisalign)

So, braces are a teenager thing, right? Wrong. I figured orthodontists and talk of braces wouldn’t be a worry I’d have for at least a few more years, but after being a fly on the wall at a conference full of of dentists and orthodontists last year it turns out a child’s first visit toContinue reading “straight teeth without getting stabbed by metal (sponsored by Invisalign)”

meeting mr. cleveland

When we told Vivi we were going to Cleveland for the weekend she asked if he was nice and if he had toys at his house. She’s still wondering who Mr. Cleveland is, and she was a little disappointed she never got to see his house — but all in all she was pretty pleasedContinue reading “meeting mr. cleveland”

an hour with miss vivienne jean.

“LET’S GO TO THE PARK! I’m going to bring all my bunnies. Can I wear them in my backpack? I want little bunny on the outside. BUNNIES! WE’RE GOING TO THE PARK!” Nothing but smiles and giggles the whole way to the park, no complaints, no signs of distress, nothing but shiny happy toddler. SheContinue reading “an hour with miss vivienne jean.”

back to schoola

When I agreed to write about Schoola it was because I really liked the idea behind it. But I also believe in using the stuff I write about so I went ahead and signed up for my own donation bag and placed a clothing order to see how the process works. I requested the bagContinue reading “back to schoola”
