Disney On Ice Show!

Recently I had posted about Disney On Ice and the great discounts available through Mom Central.

Thanks to Mom Central, The Knight and I were able to take the girls to see the show in Boston on Saturday night. The girls were so excited, they were up at 4AM talking about the show! We all had such a blast!!

Smiles galore!

Don't forget, you too can take advantage of the great discounts available. Just enter the code MOM for four tickets for $44 for Monday-Friday matinee shows and $4 off Friday night and all weekend shows.

Don't live in the Boston area? Check out my previous post to see when Disney on Ice is coming to your area!

It was such a great family show, I highly recommend it!

Christmas...

How was everyone's Holiday?

The girls were so excited Christmas morning, The Mermaid was shaking. The Knight and I decided this year to lower our budget and instead of buying as many toys as possible, buying only a few, carefully chosen, high-quality toys. What a great decision. At first I was worried that the girls might be upset at only having a few toys, but I didn't need to fear; after opening her few toys, The Mermaid looked around and said, "Santa brought us a TON of toys!!"

The rest of the day was spent with family, exchanging thoughtful gifts and laughter...

The happy look on their faces was the best gift for me...

The Mermaid was right....it was the best Christmas ever!

Letter To My Baby

Dear Baby,

I can't tell you how grateful I am that your heart is so strong.

I can't tell you how grateful I am that you are still with us, growing inside me, getting bigger every day.

And now that you know how happy and grateful I am that you are here, maybe, just maybe, you could start giving me a kick or two? Just so I can be reassured that you are still here without the use of a doppler? Strong kicks, nothing big.

At least think on it, okay?

Love,

Mommy

Last Day of Nice Weather...and Then The Snow Hit.

Because it just isn't a party unless everyone is swinging.

Last Day of Nice Weather...and Then The Snow Hit.

Snow Day

This weekend we got hit with a bunch of snow. The girls wanted to help The Knight shovel the driveway, so I bundled them up and out they went!

Did anyone else get any snow pictures over the weekend?

Megan's Hope

To lose a child is something that no parent should ever have to face.

And then to lose a child to something preventable, right around the holidays.....I have no words.

Today marks the five year anniversary of the death of sweet Megan, a 3 year old who was killed when her dresser fell on top of her.

The Knight and I have anchored most of our furniture, but this morning when I went to double check I found that not ALL our furniture is anchored....and we will be fixing that this weekend.

Please take time out of this busy holiday season to double check and make sure ALL your furniture is anchored....even if you think it cannot tip over, anchor it anyway. As Megan's mother writes, "Instead of putting a few holes in our walls and furniture, we forever have one in our hearts that will never heal. Walls can be fixed, broken hearts cannot."

For more information, visit Megan's Hope and learn how to baby-proof your furniture.
