Last week, my husband packed up our printer and brought it with us on our Spring Break vacation so he could print a few photographs of our 3 year old daughter in his spare time (ha!) during our vacation.
Why? Because Madelyn, our 3 year old, has been commenting on the fact that we don’t have any framed photographs of her up. There are a couple of photographs of both kids on the fridge, but that’s it. There are dozens of photographs of Sebastian (10 years old) all over the house, but not one framed photograph of Madelyn. See the photograph to the right.. the frames to the right are full of photographs of Sebastian while the frames to the left are empty. That’s so sad. Needless to say, Tim didn’t print photographs while we were in Orlando last week.. we were a little busy. I am however, determined to print and frame enough photographs to fill the blank spaces in the frames to the right.. before her 4th birthday, May 9th. Please say a prayer for me!
While I am looking through photographs on my computer to print for Madelyn’s frames, I am going to flag a bunch of photos starting from the day she was born so I can finally create a scrapbook for her. Her scrapbook may not be as elaborate as Sebastian’s, it will most likely be a Photobook.. from Vistaprint (why not?) but at least we’ll have something to look through. I love both of my kids so much.. it breaks my heart that I haven’t spent as much time on organizing and sharing photographs of her as I did when Sebastian was younger. I am much busier now than I was when Sebastian was her age, but that doesn’t take the guilt away. So, enough of the sad stories..
I am so excited about this giveaway because a lucky reader is going to win a personalized 12 x 12 Photobook that will be cherished forever.

Did you read my article February 4th article about 
My now 10 year old son rode in a booster seat until relatively recently. The safe ‘no booster seat’ age is 10-12 years old. He actually liked sitting in a booster seat because he could see out the window better. I am 5’1″ and often joke that I should still sit in a booster seat. I’ve spent about a week reviewing the Evenflo Big Kid AMP no back booster seat and have really enjoyed it.. as has my daughter. She is too young to use it in the car but has found many uses for it around the house including ‘teacher seat’ and as a ‘booster seat highchair’.. on the floor. I don’t recommend using a booster seat as a real high chair as it could slide off the chair.

Panko breadcrumbs are great to use for baked chicken nuggets, fish, and as a crispy breading for meats and vegetables.
