Miss Independent

Well, as of last night...my baby has decided she is going to hold her own bottles now. Almost nine years ago....my oldest baby was doing the same. I told Todd we have Super Babies!!! haha  This is of course a huge milestone as well as relief to all of us at home. As much as I love the bonding time, sometimes I just need to get stuff done that is not possible with a baby in my arms. In the back of my mind...I fast forward to the day that she will be telling us to let go of the back of her bike..."I can do it by myself!" Sigh...the things we look forward to for so long sometimes bring a tear to my eye and tug at my heart.

Enough of my sappy thoughts for now....

Silly Heather..over and out

Nostalgia

So I ran across this candy website today (go figure) and I saw some candies that brought back memories from my childhood. Candy cigarettes, Chick-o-sticks and one of my favorites....Atomic Fireballs. I remember one summer when my Dad bought a large tub of those things and I literally ate so many that it caused a small hole in the roof of my mouth! Man...it would be so neat to go back and be a kid again...not saying I want to relive it all..but the good times for sure! Or heck...even if I were to run across a Zoltar Machine, like in the movie BIG with Tom Hanks....I could do the opposit and become a kid. Would be a little weird though since I have 2 of my own....haha

Well I am off to be silly...

Addictions

Probably not what you were thinking....

I am addicted to Peanut Butter....I love the stuff! My new found favorite is Peanut butter M&M's. SO GOOD! And Nutella....that stuff is deeeeelicious! A Peanut butter/nutella sandwhich is pretty tasty as well....haha But I will have to say, nothing beats my Dad's Peanut buter Fudge!!! And I don't care who you are or how long you have been cooking...you will NEVER be able to top his recipe! Please...don't try to argue with me either...my mind and tastebuds are made up.

I can say that I am making up for lost time right now because while pregnant with Aurelia, anything sweet or previously tasty was a trigger for nausea. Of course that was good in a way, I only gained 17 pounds and lost that and then some right after having her. But I can see it creeping back on my hips, thighs and everywhere in between! I never make a New Year's Resolution, only because I think it is silly to do something that you should more than likely be doing all along in the first place. But this year....well I am going to have to control my urge to eat junk food. I am a "Foodie" by nature and I will eat when I am bored too, so I really have to watch myself :(

So, for all of you out there that have the power struggle of loving your food...you are not alone! Half the women in my office are the same and well that really sucks when you are trying to stay away from the yummy stuff! Like the 4 oatmeal raisin cookies I had for breakfast this morning.....thanks girls...love you!


I am out for now...

All I want for Christmas....

Are my two front teeth....I am sure that many of you who read this blog have probably heard that old saying/song. Well, my littlest Mulcahey gave me a brief peek as to why she has been dubbed "Devil Baby" this past week. She is sprouting two pearly whites on her bottom gum. Sigh...it was a happy and sad moment for me. Happy because well those two little teeth are ADORABLE when they smile but sad because it just goes to show how time flies. Aurelia is just a little over 5 months and I swear I just welcomed her into our world only a weeke ago :(  

So by Christmas, we should have a cute little toothy smile for everyone to see....and if I can...I will get a video of the adorable baby giggle too. Which of course only Audrey seems to be able to make her do. Now squealing on the other hand, she does that for EVERYONE...all day, every day! HAHA

Silly as I want to be...

Heather

See them!?! So stinking cute!
