Things i love: The Library

One of my goals this year was to get a library card and use it. I did, and boy have I used it! I love the library. Quick escapes at any time for books, movies and even cds to borrow! Friendly people who are like-minded chatting quietly over favorites! Best of all its free!

I encourage everyone, especially if you have kids to join a library branch and use it!



Oh, one of the best things is that you can place books on hold if they are not at your local library and they'll ship them to your local library so you can pick them up! SWEET!

HOLIDAYS: Halloween

So all the way up to the day my husband and i were trying to decide our opinion of Halloween... We celebrated it as kids, its fun to dress up and who doesn't love candy!

its roots and origin are a bit.. dodgy, but there are many things that were awful that have been transformed to stand for something light, fun and not dark.

So this year I plan to bring a new way to celebrate Halloween to share!

And here is a few photos of our very last minute costumes for out kids last year!

Ezra was Woody

And Zoe was a Vietnamese Princess

(My Moms Vietnamese and loved this when we showed her later!)

Gymboree with Zoe

Gymboree is the coolest thing ever for a baby or toddler! Ja'dore Ca! I got Zoe a membership here this month and I think I'm in love! Shes made little baby friends and her age group class instructor is so nice and really enjoys what she does!

True story: Zoe actually learned to crawl after 1 Gymboree class! My husband and I went because they have an ongoing promotion offering one class free on their website gymboreeclasses.com and Zoe started crawling that night after rolling around  to keep up with some of the other crawling babies in class that day!

I was so happy! ../ until Zoe started crawling under everything she could fit under. ..BUT happiness was my overall feeling!

Here is Zoe after her first class on our way home listening to her new cd Putumayo Kids Picnic Playground we got at gymboree. She wouldnt let go of the case.
