Where does the time go??

Hi Friends,

I have really been neglecting this blog.  I have such good intentions to post but between work and my almost 9 month old little guy it never seems to happen!  I have also fall victim to Pinterest.  That site is worse than crack!  My very dear friend of 22 years has asked me to be the matron of honor in her wedding this September.  To say that I am honored would be an understatement.  I am pinning away on a secret board for her shower!  (I would share stuff here but she knows about this blog and may pop by so I don't want to ruin any surprises).

My little guy popped 4 teeth in January, his first 4!  They came on fast and furious.  He has also started say "momma" which makes my day (even though, at this age, he does not fully know that I am momma).  He is still doing the army crawl but I think he will be up in crawling position in no time.  Hope all of you are well!

Merry Christmas!

Happy Halloween!!

I hope you all had a Happy Halloween!  Tough times here on the East Coast with Hurricane Sandy.  We were very lucky and only lost power for 24 hours.  Thoughts and prayers to all those affected.  Here is a picture of our little Goldfish.

Nursery Pics!!!

I'm finally getting around to posting some pictures of K's nursery!  We had our fabulous wedding photographer Suzanne Sutcliffe come over when K was about 5 weeks old to do baby and family pictures and she took these of his nursery.   Enjoy!

Three Months!!!

Hi Friends!  I don't know where 3 months has gone.  My little guy is growing so fast, here is his latest pic :)

Two Months!!!

Hi Friends!  I can't believe Kurt Benjamin is almost 7 weeks old already!  It has been a wonderful and exhausting time as I'm sure all Moms can attest to.  He is growing so fast, gained 2 pounds at his one month visit and grew 2 3/4 inches.  I am breastfeeding and he eats practically ever hour that he is awake.  I read that he will space out eventually, which I hope because as much as I love it, it is really exhausting to feed him so much!  Here is a recent pic of my little man :)

Baby Boy is Here!!!

Hi Friends,

Sorry for the blog silence, lost steam at the end of my pregnancy.  My little guy arrived on 5-8-12, healthy and happy.  Not much sleep here in the Always Organizing house, but we would not have it any other way.  Meet KBS!!!

Bloggity Blah...

Hi All,

Another weekend flew past! I feel like I do so much around the house but it is not looking
any more "done". Frustrating. I know we will get there. Patience is not one of my strongest
virtues :)

The little man is moving, kicking and punching me up a storm. I was playing some music on You Tube and it was funny to watch him move when I put some fast paced classical music on. This whole "growing a person" thing is amazing.

Have a happy Monday!

Leave it to Martha...

Happy Wednesday! I have been going through old magazines to cut out the pages I want to keep in my inspiration binders. I came across this adorable idea in Martha Stewart Living. It is a height chart made out of wooden rod, so adorable! I am a little obsessed with the idea of doing a growth chart for my kids and being able to take it with us wherever we live (not that we are moving anytime soon, but I don't want to put it directly on a wall). This idea is just so clever, love Martha!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Just checking in on a Tuesday morning to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day! The hubs and I are having a low key night at home. Our last as a duo :)

26 Weeks...

Where is the time going??? I'm 26 weeks along and feeling good. A little stressed out with everything I want to get done around the house and nursery. I don't recommend moving into a new house and having your baby right around the same time ;) Actually, it really will be ok. I feel very blessed to be having my first child and the house will get done when it gets done.

We have made a lot of progress. The key thing is to get the nursery done. I actually just hired my fabulous wedding photographer Suzanne Sutcliffe to do newborn/family shots when the little guy gets here. Now the pressure is on to finish the nursery so we can take pictures in there! It is painted and I know how I want everything set up. Just need to get going on buying the furniture. Good times!

Fierce...

How fierce are these gold wedges from Lilly Pulitzer? Not that my 6 month pregnant behind will be rocking them anytime soon, but a girl can dream...

Nursery Planning...

I have most of the nursery already planned in my head. I found adorable bedding at Pottery Barn Kids (it is sold out online, but the are getting 4 quilts in this week and my local PB kids will hold one for me). I will post a pic once I have it. The walls are going to be a leafy green (still need to pick the paint) and the curtains will be this zig zag fabric. I think we are going to buy a simple white crib and dresser to use as a changing table. I may also get a low white bookcase and plan to fill the room with fun accessories that will be used for toy storage etc. So fun to plan!!!
