Little people, big changes...

So life takes a new turn once again. The little one is here and mamahood the second time is just as beautiful and overwhelming as it was the first time around.

Someone I know recently told me that she measures the fullness of her life in the happiness of her children.

So true. I am starting to feel that more and more now.

Happy 2008!

I am expecting my baby any day now so I really hope I can keep up with blogging more regularly once I have my hands full with an infant and a toddler and all the madness that comes along with big changes in life.

Here's a link to a lovely post from apartment therapy about the difference a bunch of fresh flowers can make to your room. So simple and true. I should really do this much more often.

My Toddler's Lunchbox

Having a toddler who is a fussy eater more often than not, I quite liked looking at My Toddler's Lunchbox, a blog that showcases different lunches that a couple pack for their toddler every day. Some great ideas for healthy, non sugary snacks.

New beginnings

This week marks a couple of new beginnings for me, which I am excited about. New apartment, new month, a mostly empty calendar for October which I am looking forward to filling up with play dates, selected work assignments & picnic lunches in this gorgeous fall weather.

This month I am looking forward to:

• unpacking boxes, setting up a new home, simplifying everything around me
• decorating my little girl's room with patterns and colors
• walks during the chilly October mornings
• Sunday breakfasts with something new to try out
• taking more photos
  
• finishing the first one's album & scrapbook before the second one arrives
• finding a halloween costume for the girl and making little treats for the toddlers (and grown ups)
  
• doing more creative activities with my little girl - painting, crafting - for the very first time
• setting up my own little home office/space where I can escape to when mommy just needs some time out
