There are things that you should know about setting up your own house but nobody says anything so you learn them the hard way. They don’t tell you because their house is all set up and they have forgotten.

1. Thread count matters the higher the better.

Yes, 100 thread count is cheaper but the fabric will ball up and in 6 months you will dread going to sleep. Get at least 300 thread count  and they will last comfortably for a few years.

2. Microwaveable safe matters.

It doesn’t matter how cute those dishes if it doesn’t have that little icon you should not buy them otherwise every time you nuke something your fingers will get singed. Trust me that hurts.

3. You don’t have to live in a mega apartment complex.

When looking for somewhere to rent try looking for a condo that is taken care of by a management company. They can be bigger and better quality because there is an involved owner.

Year 1 Week 3

New things for Rose

- Rose took her first few steps on Saturday and now that it is proven that she could do it she firmly refuses to do it again.

- Going back to sleep in Mommy’s and Daddy’s bed is fun for Rose but not for Mommy. Rose doesn’t know that it’s not nice to take up the whole be and crowd the other person out.

- While Mommy is making dinner Rose and Daddy play a fun game where they like to sneak up and surprise her. I don’t know who likes it more Rose or Daddy.

What a great Mother’s Day weekend!  It was filled with family, friends, Survivor, and a little hiking in our local national preserve.

Rose was loving all the rocks. She likes to hold each one to see them better and even taste a few. The bottom left picture is when she got upset because Mom took the tasting rock away. What a mean Mommy.

Year 1 Week 2

New things for Rose

- Rose has hit 20 pounds! To be exact she is 20 lbs 2 oz , 19.5 inches  and top percentile for head size. Thanks to Dad for the head size

- She has learned how to turn the light switch on and off.

- Her top teeth have been patiently waiting to break thru for the past two weeks which means that Rose has been a drooling Queen for the past two weeks. So when one of the four popped out Mommy was excited.

Last Mothers Day was my first ever as a real honest to goodness mother. In honor of that and Rose my Mother gave me a pendant made of rose quartz.

Just out of curiosity I browsed Esty to see what they have to offer if I wanted to keep up the tradition.

Who said that tutu’s are only for little girls?

I think I would wear this for Halloween and tea parties with Rose. It would really be fun to own one.

April 30

My baby girl only turns 1 once so I saw this as a time where I could do something for special for her. A simple party that when she looks back on the pictures she will see that birthday’s are a day where the birthday girl is the most special person in the world.

Thank you’s are in order for pinterest for the cake design idea.

Rose liked watching her “candles” blow out. She had fun eating pretzels with friends and loved seeing all of her family and friends that had come it to celebrate with her.

Rose played so much that after the party she had a quick bath to clean off all the cake frosting and quickly fell asleep. Thank you to everyone who came and played with us. :)
