You know what's a weird feeling? Braxton Hicks. As if feeling something nudging me from the inside out isn't weird enough (seriously, weirdest (but most comforting and reassuring!) feeling ever). I first heard of Braxton Hicks on FRIENDS, of all places. (I didn't take this video, FYI):I started noticing this curious symptom known as Braxton Hicks a few weeks ago. In a nutshell, it's my uterus contracting and preparing to give birth. But I'm not ready!!! Hold your horses!!! I've still got...
The One with Closed Doors and Open Windows
Thursday, July 29, 2010
My days of working a desk job are coming to an end (at least for the time being - who knows what the future holds?). 15 more days to be exact! Yes, I'm that excited, I'm counting. And while I'm looking forward to being at home more and being able to go to all the fun activities that all the other SAHMs around here go to when I'm usually working, I'm also worried about how we are going to make ends...
The One with Remembering Sneakers
Wednesday, July 28, 2010
They say dogs are a man's best friend. I concur. Though Sneakers never reciprocated his affection for me which I so ardently wish he had (I was the one who begged and pleaded and begged some more to get a dog in the first place!!!), he was still the unofficial 6th member of our family for the past 13 wonderful and fun-filled years.My family had to put down our trustee sheltie known as Sneakers last...
The One with Finding Furniture
Tuesday, July 27, 2010
Chris and I took a trip to IKEA on Saturday to start perusing through furniture for the nursery. No buying anything yet, gotta wait for this month's credit card to close! (Don't you just love budgets and dealing with money...or lack thereof haha...). Now the big question is, how to fit everything on our list into this space:Right now the second bedroom is a guest room/my scrapbook space. I've acquired...

Here are the two layouts I made for my monthly American Crafts assignment.Love Birds Maren & LoganTips: I've been watching Lois and Clark - The New Adventures of Superman on DVD the past week or so while I've scrapped.

The One with the Pinwheel Card
Saturday, July 24, 2010
Once in awhile I actually get the mojo to play along with the weekly challenge that I issue on the CARDS blog. Yesterday morning I had a jolt of creative energy and decided to make a pinwheel card for said challenge:How to: Make a 6" card base from light yellow cardstock. Cut a 6" square of colorful circles patterned paper (all of the supplies are from the last Dear Lizzy line), and cut and fold it...
The One with the Third Trimester
Friday, July 23, 2010
What To Expect (the equivalent of the Bible in a pregnant woman's life) says that today I embark on the journey known as the third trimester. It's the final 12-week stretch until this baby in my belly makes his big debut. How do I feel?Scared.Nervous.Anxious.I'm freaking out.I have no idea what I'm doing.What have I gotten us in to?Not to mention all the aches, pains, constipation, heartburn, indigestion,...
The One with Inception
Thursday, July 22, 2010
Chris and I were spontaneous tonight (I know, who am I and what have I done with the real Paige?) and decided to go see Inception. I've heard nothing but great reviews about it and I'm always up for a good movie with the hubs.I loved it. I give it a 9 out of 10.I predicted the ending to a "T" within the first 20 minutes and stated my hypothesis to Chris out loud so he can back me up. Of course that's...

The One with the Trendy Fox
Monday, July 19, 2010
Maybe I'm just more aware of the fox trend now that I have a baby in my womb with that name. But I feel like I'm seeing foxes everywhere! I'm especially grateful to those who have emailed me links to foxy things they've come across and thought I'd like - much appreciated :) Here are some things I quickly found on Etsy that are fox-related that speak to me:FurritalesPassion FlowerNiko ArtSimply Cute...
