Need a sitter?

Here is a service to find a qualified babysitter, nanny, mother's helper, or child care near you!. Read the profile of any giving child care pro and find the right one for you. Many are C.P.R. certified as well as First Aid certified. References are provided as well as expected pay. I am usually not one for any type of child care, but one day I know my husband will want to go to the movies again. So this is probably the route I will go. Another perk of the site is that is allows you to search for pet sitters, housekeepers, tutors,etc. Happy hunting.

Ipod Love

We are doing a new series on music. I think it is so important for kids to grow up with a love of music. The next time you reach for a dvd to put in, try putting on some music and playing on the floor. You will find your child dancing more, something every parent loves. So here is a new playlist I made last night.

Chillin' Like A Villian

Augustana-All the Stars and Boulevards

Broken Flowers Soundtrack

Lost in Translation Soundtrack

Garden State Soundtrack

The Last Kiss Soundtrack

Death Cab for Cutie- Narrow Stairs

Imogen Heap-Speak for yourself

She and Him- Volume One

It's mostly Indie Rock. But it just has such a lovely vibe for relaxing. Enjoy!

Outfit of the Day

I like this one as a day to evening look. I think it would be great for a date night. Because the skirt is jersey and the top is a soft cotton, it is romantic and comfortable. How can I beat that?

Music we live by....

We love this album by Feist. It's called The Reminder. It is so great in the evening, smooth, slow, and a little funky. Word.

Date Night!

While I know most parents enjoy being able to get out of the house for a date, sometimes, it's just not in the cards. So we put the girls to bed, put on some fun evening music and are playing board games together! It may seem simple, but this is more contact/communication with Hubs than I would ever get at a movie. We get a six pack of imported beer or a good wine and some snacks. It's a fun way to have a small time together and we really cherish it. Tonight I am behind one-million dollars at the game of life, but couldn't be happier about it.
