Request a baby birth greeting from President Obama! With this being a historic presidency I thought it would be a great keepsake to add to Little Peanuts scrapbook. I do have to admit I was a little underwhelmed when it arrived but it’s neat to have none-the-less. You can also request them for weddings, 80+ birthdays and retirements. Here’s how you can get one too. Send a letter to: The White House Attn: Greetings Office Washington, D.C. 20502-0039 Include in the letter: -baby’s name -birth date (dd/mm/yyyy) -baby’s address -your… Continue reading…

On Tuesday night, I was beginning to feel a little under the weather and thought to myself  “I cannot get sick right before Thanksgiving…I have too much to do!” So I decided that I better nip this thing in the bud and took out my ever-so-dependable Neti Pot. “What’s a Neti Pot?” you ask? It’s a nasal cleansing pot that irrigates your nasal passages with saline water (the Pot comes with a special salt). I started using Neti Pot years ago at my husband’s recommendation and have been a non-paid promoter of… Continue reading…

When I was pregnant with Isaac, I did a lot of traveling. If I counted correctly, I flew at least seven times for both work and to visit family in Texas. Perhaps that was his initial “training” because he’s been quite the easy traveler ever since. This last trip to Texas was probably the most challenging but only because Isaac with curious about EVERYTHING – buttons on the plane, the airplane windows, strangers’ laptops (he’d walk right up to them and take a peek, hehe!) and so on. I decided it… Continue reading…

Before my son was born, I had so many ideas on what I would do to capture those precious moments and milestones of his life…taking lots of pictures and videos, writing in my journal to record special moments, sending monthly updates to family and so on. Now that he’s almost 17 months, it’s hard to believe that I got a lot of those memories – his first year in particular – pretty well recorded. Here are a few things that I did/am still doing that you could do too: 1) “First… Continue reading…

When my husband and I had our house built, we went with tile flooring on the main floor. We thought that wood flooring would require more upkeep and seeing visible scratches and dust bunnies just didn’t appeal to us. For the most part, we’re happy with our decision–it looks nice, it’s durable and the dust is not so visible. I bet my son would say otherwise! When he started crawling, we noticed that once he’d get to tile area, he would just stop. And then when he decided that he… Continue reading…

My daughter recently discovered my stash of beauty products under the bathroom sink. Don’t worry, I’ve moved it now that she’s found it! I keep them  in a small basket and it houses things such as lotion, hair products, nail polish remover, hair clips, brush etc. I would have thought with so many things available for her to get into she would go from one thing to another, but nope, she went straight for the blue nail polish remover. I watched as she shook it and passed it from hand… Continue reading…

As a proud new parent we always have the camera on hand for those firsts. Ideally I would love to put all those photos into scrapbooks but it’s hard to find the time – and the space – to do it. By the time I get all my supplies laid out it’s time for a feeding, nap or my own bedtime. Enter in Scrapblog.com – an online scrapbooking website. You do everything online and don’t have to worry about cleanup! It’s great to work on during naptime (when I’m not… Continue reading…
