Sundae Scoop is back on! Are you as excited as I am? I guess that means I have to start cooking again, lol. The past two weeks I’ve felt a million times better (from my c-section Oct. 26th). I’ve been in the mood to cook, clean and craft and I’m ready to get back on a schedule. However, it seems like I have a long to-do list that I never seem to finish. It’s just hard to find time. I don’t know how you super moms do it all! I have a very demanding 22 month old, and a new born who loves to be held ALL the time. During my sons nap time (when I’m usually productive) I’m just too worn out and have to sit/lay down. Thank goodness for nap time or I really think I’d go crazy!
I’m slowly getting the hang of having two kids, and have found a sling very helpful! As hard as these past few weeks have been (between tantrums, healing, nursing pains, husband studying like crazy) I wouldn’t trade them for anything. My little girl is already growing SO fast and it’s not fair! I’m trying to soak in every second I have with her, and just put everything else on the back burner. I’m beginning to realize some things can wait! So yes my floors haven’t been mopped in over a week, my hair hasn’t been washed in a couple of days, and we’ve eaten frozen dinners the last few nights… BUT I’ve got to snuggle my little munchkins, and that’s all that matters! Boy do those snuggles and kisses make everything worth it! I love my family to pieces, and I’m SO grateful and blessed to call them mine!

I think I would do a 2010 book if I won. Or maybe one just of my daughter. She's into a lot of activities and I take a ton of pictures of her. She could fill a book on her own!
ReplyDeleteJust started following your blog a few days ago and now I'm OBSESSED!
ReplyDeleteI would make a book of my sweet little ones...I have two beautiful babies - a 20 month old baby boy named Luke and a 3 month old baby girl named Olivia. It has been a big adjustment from one kiddo to two...but like you said, it is SO worth it!
I would make an album for my sweet angel, Aubrey. She was born still in May and I would love to be able to honor her with a photo album.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting again this week. I'm glad your starting to feel like yourself again and getting the hang of having 2 now.
ReplyDeleteahh! considering i got married 10 months ago i would def do a wedding album!

ReplyDeleteGREAT GIVEAWAY!! I love picaboo...so easy to use, and lots of great options! I would use it to print my wedding album (still haven't made one after almost 3 years...yikes!) that I've actually already started on Picaboo!! I was going to use the 30% off code...but if I win I'll just use that discount on a book full of pictures of our first son! :)

ReplyDeleteI only have 1 child, a 5 year old sweet little girl! She is everything to me (us)! So I would absolutely make a book about her first 5 years. (especially because I haven't even finished scrapbooking her 1st year) *gasp*
ReplyDeleteP.S. LOVE YOUR BLOG!!
I would make a book with our family pictures we just got done! I hope I win, these books have great quality you can tell just looking at them.

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you are feeling better. The transition from 1 to 2 was pretty challenging for me as well, but it slowly comes to you. Good luck, and thanks for all the work on the blog. I just found you and I love the blog.
ReplyDeleteI would make one of our wedding. We never got an album from our photographer.
ReplyDeleteI hear you about getting used to two kids since I'm in the same boat myself! I've been told it gets easier. My daughter is 2 and a half and my son is 4 months but life is good and we are blessed!
ReplyDeleteIf I won the photo book I would use it to showcase the photos my husband and I tok on our getaway last year before our son was born. That was such a fun time!

ReplyDelete(oh and I liked TT&J on FB!)
This is great! Last year my son was born and ended up contracting several life-threatening illnesses. He was life-flighted and spent two weeks in the NICU while they fought to save his life. (He is completely fine now, though! Thank heavens!) I would love to document that experience and be able to remember our blessings from that time and show him what a brave and special little guy he is! : )
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm a new follower on FB! : )
ReplyDeleteI would like to make a photo album for my daughter & family starting with her wedding up to the present time. Or maybe wait to include the photos from this Christmas. It would include the birth of her two children - such cute babies. Thanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteI would definitely make a book with pictures of my boys over the last year to give to my parents as a gift. They live in the North East and as the boys have gotten bigger and involved in more school activities, it has gotten more difficult to see my family as often as I would like. A photo book would be a great way to share the big moments, the everyday moments, and show just how much they have grown.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway.
Thanks.
