Monday Musings

Dan's birthday is tomorrow. (No April Foolin', he was really born on 4/1!) Think I should bake him this?

And so begins the birthday parade. Ittyboy turns 1 on April 17, followed by Bittyman's 5th birthday on May 13. If you're looking for gift ideas, check out my sidebar. (If you click through and purchase from Amazon I get a few cents for my Dunkin' Donuts fund.)

Yesterday afternoon we attended a birthday party for a member of Bitty's preschool posse. The Heroes had a blast. But just a reminder Moms, when choosing a venue for your child's birthday party, Chuck E. Cheese serves alcohol for those of us over 21. Pump It Up does not. I'm just sayin'.

Yes, I'm still menu planning. I just haven't made it from planning to blogging in the past few weeks. So head over to I'm an Organizing Junkie if you need some inspiration.

After almost five years living here, it occurred to us that our kitchen might function better if we (and by we I mean Dan) switched the hinges and handles on the refrigerator door so it opened towards the sink and food prep counter instead of away from it. (Duh!) In theory it's a good idea. But it may take our muscle memory another five years to adapt to the change.

I've added some new tunes to my Playlist. I'm such a child of the 80's.

Quote of the weekend:
"Bitty, please don't ride your scooter in the street - stay on the sidewalk."

"DAD! Please don't patronize me!"
Sigh. Did I say Bitty was turning 5 in May? Or is that 15?
