  • Games Babies Play – The Glasses Stealer Edition

    I think one of the coolest things about babies is seeing their personality start to develop as they get a little older. Josh and I call it “joining the party”. I don’t know if all babies are into glasses, but Joy’s following in her big brother Phil’s phootsteps (you see what I did there?) and…

  • Mother of the Year: Teething Baby Edition

    It was a ridiculous work day from the moment the kids and I got home from Fancy Coffee Friday yesterday. It seemed like I fought to work all day long. On top of the usual happy crashes and smashes from Phil as he played in the office, Joy just couldn’t seem to get it together.…

  • Adventures in Baby Sleep Training – A Chronicled Adventure in ZZZs

    Our newborn daughter, as cute as she is, has a major issue with sleeping at night… Which means we have a major issue with sleeping at night. So we’ve started down the path of baby sleep training in hopes we can all start getting a semi decent night of sleep sometime soon! (Preferably by the…

  • Baby Name Meanings: How We Chose Ours

    Baby name meanings are so interesting – I love hearing how people came up with what to name their kids! I thought with the arrival of little girl Joy a couple of weeks ago, I’d share our own baby name meanings with you. I don’t think I wrote about that when Phil was born! One…

  • Welcome Baby Girl Calvert!

    Today we welcome baby girl Joy Newton Calvert to our family! Joy was born this morning at 7:50am, and clocked in at 7 lbs 2 oz and 21 inches long – just one ounce heavier than her brother Phil’s birth weight! It’s felt like such a long, emotional journey for Joy to join our family,…

  • 20 Weeks Pregnant Ultrasound – What Are We Having?

    The whole family loaded up in the car this morning for a very exciting 20 weeks pregnant ultrasound! We’re one of those sets of parents that genuinely didn’t have a strong preference one way or the other – as long as this kid is healthy and makes it to term, that’s all we care about.…

  • A Little Light Reading for Our 15 Month Old

    I turn around from my work and Phil is sitting on the floor, paging through an old copy of Ramona Forever that I’ve got. The he crawls into my lap, and makes me read the first couple pages. I’m about to bawl from the sentimental cuteness.

  • Games Babies Play

    It constantly blows our minds how bright Phil is, guys. I know every parent says that – but I don’t know any other 14 month old that comes up with games like “if I close my eyes, you can’t see me anymore.” It’s like the next level of peek a boo or something! The best…

  • Tutorial: Painted Onesies Birthday Banner Bunting

    In the spirit of this week’s crafty giveaway, I have a totally awesome craft project to share! I’ve been wanting to post this for literally 2 months, but time just gets away from you sometimes. I’m super excited to share my tutorial for a Painted Onesies Birthday Banner Bunting! (We love alliteration here at Hearts…

  • Side Effects May Include Ridiculous Crying

    So if you’ve known me for any length of time, it’s a good chance we’ve seen a movie together. And if it’s a really good movie, like that True Grit remake, sometimes I get a bit teared up at the end because it was just so effing awesome. And if it’s a REALLY really good…

  • Unlikely Nursery Rhymes and Lullabies

    Last week, Aaryn had posted something on her Facebook about how her husband (from England) had never heard the song “The Humpty Dance“. And I had to admit that, strangely enough… I sing that song to Phil. He has a nursery rhymes cd that we listen to a lot, and for whatever reason, when the…
