Jack's First Snowstorm

Before both Jack and I got sick the Northeast was hit with some pretty rotten winter weather. We got the first round on a Saturday and another round on a Monday into Tuesday. Although it wasn't quite the blizzard the weathermen forecasted it was still enough for daddy to get a day off so our family got an extra family day!

It was Jack's first official time playing in the snow. I wouldn't say any playing actually happened but he was prepared just in case! Jack gave up quickly on walking in the snow until he saw a dog and decided he wanted to follow the dog and bark at him. 

 During the s"NO"wstorm where we didn't get much snow at all we took Bogart and Jack sledding around the neighborhood. 

Jack loved sledding. He made his train sound the whole time. 

Does your little one enjoy playing in the snow? 

Planning A 1st Birthday Party, Already?!?!

Can you believe I've already started planning Jack's 1st Birthday Party?!?!

It's amazing to me that this year has just flown by. I've heard the saying "The days are long but the years are short" and that could not be more true. My little newborn baby is going to be a year old. Last year at this time my baby bump was still adorably cute and I could feel him moving around late in the evening. This was around the time I stopped sleeping through the night so I started watching Hallmark Channel's non stop Christmas movies  at 3,4, and 5 am. They do start on Halloween night! It's all just happening so fast. I'm so worried that It has been such an amazing year watching my little boy grown and learn. 

I'm so excited to be planning 

Jack Frost's Winter "One"derland Birthday Party. 

Well, because turning 1 is SNOW much fun! 

I'm currently looking for a place to have it. I'm thinking we will have about 75 people attending and we have several kiddies coming so I want enough room for activities and running around. Thank goodness for Pinterest because I've already got some really great ideas! Too bad I'll be going into the poor house. Too many great ideas for one momma to handle. 

Now all I have to do is plan out his gifts. I'm thinking a Radio Flyer Wagon, Pottery Barn Anywhere Chair, Tricycle?!?! 

Any gift ideas for a first birthday gift?

What do you think?

I'm usually not a fan of winter or snow but I can't deny that snowmen, polar bears and penguins (I know they live on different continents) are just too sweet! 

Just Because- Spring Where Are You?

Spring starts in just 2 days.

You would never have guessed by my commute home last night and what I saw when I woke up to this morning. It looks like 7 inches or so. I can't say it enough but thank goodness for my Jeep. The commute home last night was horrific. So many accidents and cars spinning out of control.

It's like the winter that just won't end! I really can't wait for capris, sandals, pastels and temps about 42 degrees! Last year at this time I remember the temps around 70 degrees. I think I was spoiled but I've had just about enough.

Mr. Groundhog.... You're FIRED!
