Summer is Leaving...Along with my home and my 20's

I don't know where summer went...but it seems to have just flown by. Fall does not mean slowing down here, rather it is full speed ahead for us. Let's talk a little bit about what has been going on.

First, I've come to terms...I'm finally admitting I'm 30 years old. Yep, this blog no longer references that we are 20-somethings, because that is a lie. As of this week, I am 30. Let me say it out loud "Thur-Tee" Ugh. That's a huge number. I will never again have an age that starts with a "2" and that is depressing. 

That's okay, because here we like to focus on the awesomeness that is the Millennial generation. And you know what, statistically a lot of Millennials are already 30...and they are rocking it. And we are going to be joining in on that awesomeness. "Thirty Flirty and Thriving!" all the way! Why is thirty so awesome? Well, I'm not sure yet because I'm new to this whole 3-0 thing...but I'll figure it out and will certainly be sharing it with you. 

What else is up? Oh yeah, along with turning 30, we are moving. One day I was sitting down enjoying one of my favorite time wasters...Zillow. And there I found a home I really liked. Not just liked...but loved! I suspected Kevin would as well. Not long after, we were contracted to buy a new home. 

 Our current home is wonderful, and we are sad to be leaving the area of town we have grown to love so much...but our next home is really a home of our dreams and we couldn't be more thrilled. Now we are working through the next big step as first time homeowners, selling our first home. I had no idea how much work would go into this process, but we are excited for the end result...a new beautiful home! 


(we will miss this house!) 

Lorelai is growing so big, and we can't believe she will be 9 months old next week! Pretty soon she will have spent just as much time outside of my belly as she did inside...and that is pretty amazing. 

Overall life is wonderful! We are in no way accustomed to being parents yet, but hopefully we will be soon.

Traveling with Kids: Setting them up for successful flight

Each flight we take with our kids, we are often overwhelmed by fellow passengers commenting on how great our children travel. I won't even pretend that it has anything to do with my parenting or my children's innate ability to be good travelers. By no means does that come without a lot of behind the scenes work, thought and preparation. Our children are not naturally good travelers...rather we do everything possible to set them up for a successful (i.e. enjoyable, quiet, and somewhat relaxing) flight.

Do you want a toddler that doesn't make a peep when you travel? How about a baby who doesn't fuss too much? Here are a few of our secrets to setting your children up for a successful flight
It starts before you even book your trip. 
Schedule your flight at a time that works well with your child's sleep schedule. That means no getting in at midnight, no leaving at 5 a.m...and for us we often try to avoid nap time as much as possible (once are kids are down to 1 nap a day…

Things You Learn About The Newborn Phase The Second Time Around

Look, we've all been there. As a first time mom you are totally crazy. You need every little thing imaginable to be able to raise your baby. Your baby has more places to be set down than you have chairs for everyone  else in your house...crib, saucer, bumbo, highchair, rock-n-play, play mat, swing...you get my point.
Now second time around, you might just do things a little differently! Here are a few things I learned my second time around:


My biggest secret? Your baby wakes up less at night the lower you turn down the monitor volume.
Think on that a minute...does that make me a bad mom? No! It means that I'm not waking up at every little thing! And allows Pepper learn to put herself back to sleep on her own after playing/talking a bit.



Don't even bother buying a baby book or it will be filled with "Date baby laughed 3 months?"  Yep..the question mark is actually written in the baby book, because I'm not 100% sure when she laughed. 

You will forget everything tha…

Omaha Performing Arts: WeBop

If you're anything like me, you want to find all kinds of activities for your kids to get involved in as a way to educate, entertain and cultivate their physical and mental growth. For little ones, sometimes that is difficult to find. We've explored swim classes, sports, gymnastics...all great things, but we really wanted to look at something else for Lorelai to experience.



Music is such an important part of a child's life. Personally I believe that my involvement in music at a young age made me more successful and well-rounded! Due to involvement in choir, musicals and band I was able to gain confidence at a young age for public speaking, since I was familiar with standing in front of an audience. I also feel that reading music is such a great skill for children to learn as they grow older, along with familiarity with instruments, and to appreciate the arts. Not only that, music can help a child learn and retain information (example...do you still sing your ABC's in y…
