Archives for April 2009

it’s official thursday

April 24, 2009 by Wendy S

It’s Official…today is my mom’s birthday!

It’s Official…i’m ready for it to be Friday.  This weekend the weather is supposed to be amazing!  We have so much outside stuff to get done and we won’t mind doing it.

It’s Official…Peanut is getting way too smart.  And her vocaubulary is amazing.  She blows me away with the conversations that she and Munchkin have.

If Official…that people with improperly installed car seats worry me.  As a car seat install tech, I have this habit of looking all the car seats in the cars passing me on the road.  So many are wrong.  I don’t know how to approach people to let them know.  I don’t want to the crazy lady that stops strangers on the road to harass them about their car seat.  It would be nice to know that those parents reaction would be “wow, thanks for letting me know. I feel so much better now” but it won’t be.

It’s Official…i’m very cynical when it comes to people accepting help when they don’t want it.

If Official…I’ll be helping out at a car seat clinic in the near future.  More details when I’m allowed to release them.

It’s Official….that my first “It’s Official” post is done.

pray for Kayleigh

April 22, 2009 by Wendy S

I first learned about little Kayleigh through Nate @ Confessions of a CF Husband.

She and her family need lots of prayers right now. Go to their blog to read about this precious little baby: Kayleigh’s Story.

munday mumbers (and an important reminder)

April 20, 2009 by Wendy S

My good friend, Kia, has started up this neat little do-dad for Monday. I’m going to try again…
7 – Peanut’s shoe size
3T – Peanut’s clothing size
2 – boxes of pull-ups that we’ve been through already
4/2 – number of Gerber training pants and covers I bought to try so I don’t kill the environment while potty training Peanut
3 – kids improperly restrained in a car got injured in a collison — Baby critical after Lake Shore Blvd. crash

PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME YOU’VE INSTALLED YOUR CAR SEAT CORRECTLY
— GET IT CHECKED BY A TRAINED CAR SEAT TECHNICIAN!
You can read my car seat installation tips, but GET YOUR CAR SEAT CHECKED!
(Have you gotten the hint yet??)
