Sometime in the process of perusing blogs and Pinterest while preparing for Little Brother’s arrival, I decided it would be fun to make a new duffle bag for our hospital stay. I looked and look on Pinterest for an easy {and free} pattern and came across this one from Family Ever After. UPDATE 11/12/18: You…
Yesterday marked the 38 week mark for this pregnancy! Only two more weeks to go until the due date, and we can’t wait! We’re wondering if maybe our little guy may even decide to arrive a little early. If he’s ready, then we wouldn’t mind that at all. Little Man keeps saying he wants him…
I’m always on the lookout for any little thing that might entertain or interest Little Man. This simple activity was a surprising hit (even the Big Guy thought it was really cool!). You just need a plastic bottle, pipe cleaners, and a strong magnet. Cut up the pipe cleaners and put them in the bottle….

Here’s something fun we’ve been trying lately: a chore chart for Little Man. It gets him excited about helping out or even just brushing his teeth, and THAT, my friends, is quite an achievement. Little Man earns a sticker for each chore completed and then gets tickets for the stickers. The tickets can then be…

I love a good project using items from around the house! These cars are fun to play with but were even more fun to make. We painted them, punched out circles to attach as wheels with little brads, and added number stickers and a steering wheel to each. So much fun! Little Man liked them…
Well, we’re not so great a keeping a secret, I guess. Even though we planned to wait, we went ahead and shared the news an hour or two after we opened the envelope with the baby’s gender. The Big Guy just couldn’t wait. It looks like I’m going to be very outnumbered with another Little…
Today we get to find out if the baby is a girl or a boy! I’m excited, because this means I can really start planning and getting things ready. The Big Guy can’t make it to the ultrasound though, so I threw together the card above. I’m going to ask the ultrasound tech to circle…
So it’s been forever! I seriously had to sit and think for a second about how to get to the blogger dashboard. Sad. I know. Well, where have we been??? What’s been going on here in “The City”??? I’ve posted on Instagram (@takingtimeinthecity) here and there, but I haven’t even been super active on that…
