A Year in Review - 2010


January
Skip and I rang in the New Year with a quiet evening at home while this little girl slept soundly

Little M and I helped Skip celebrate his 28th birthday

 My little sis and I threw a giant surprise party for our older sister's 30th birthday!

Little M was able to attend a birthday party for one of her friends!

February
We got tons of snow, so Little M and I spent a lot of time snuggling up on the couch

We did also play outside a lot though

We celebrated Valentine's Day as a little family of three
March 
We took our first family roadtrip to Florida!

Little M loved staying in the hotels

We made a pit stop at the Marine Corps Museum

A huge rainstorm made our backyard into a lake

But it was worth it to see this girl in a raincoat

April
Little M celebrated her second Easter

We took her to a local petting zoo

And took lots of walks as a family


We had some playdates

Little M and I went to an aquarium in CT to meet up with my old college roomie

As the weather got warmer, we spent alot of time outside

May
Little M helped me celebrate Mother's Day

And she just got cuter every day


We got Little M a playhouse to play in

And had some more playdates

We took a trip to the beach to visit my big sis

I had a great night out with two of my girls

To see Bon Jovi open the New Giants Stadium

June
Lots of beach time

And snuggling

Little M found a new love of dressing up...in my blothes

We went to the local park to celebrate Father's Day

Little M went on a carousel for the first time

July
This guy fell right out this window while sleeping {he was okay..but funnies thing EVER}

We celebrated our nation's holidays

And spent more time at the beach

We went to the wedding of one of our friends

Little M moved out of the highchair and into a booster seat

Skip and I celebrated five years of wedding bliss...and our first overnight away from Little M

August

We visited a local park alot

We took a family day trip up to the aquarium in CT

And spent more time at the beach

We moved Little M's carseat so it was front face-facing

We soaked up the last few weeks of summer as a family of 3

September
We took a final 'warm-weather' trip to the beach

I redid our master bedroom

We had a family movie night

October

Skip ran an 18-mile race down the shore

We found out we were expecting baby #2!!!

Little M got her first big girl haircut

We spent lots of time playing in the leaves


I turned 28!


We went pumpkin picking

And then carved them together

We took the cutest little lady bug trick-or-treating

November



My big sister took Little M's Christmas picture

We celebrating Thanksgiving with my family

Somebody very special turned TWO

It will be her last birthday celebrated as an only child

My belly continued to grow

December
We took a relaxing trip to the beach for a week

We decorated for Christmas

We enjoyed a peaceful Christmas

And my belly got even bigger

Santa made a stop by our house and spoiled a very good little girl

We had a giant blizzard to close out the year

2010 was a wonderful year for my family.  While I'm sad to see it go, I'm excited to see what {and who} 2011 will bring us!  Hope you all have a wonderful night!

    I love this! I love seeing what you guys were up to throughout 2010. A big summary. I need to do one of these on my blog!

    And I'm still super jealous of the remodel you did to your bedroom! Plus seriously how super cute is that picture of Little M facing the beach! And your belly! I'm feeling some serious baby belly fever over here! :)

Spring Giveaway!

First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing.

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
