Wordless Wednesday: We bought a house!

February 1, 2012 By Erika @NaMammaSte

Ok, I know Wednesday’s almost over at this point, but I promised updates on the closing and photos. We closed. We’re in love with our new home! We can’t wait to start building a life there and planting roots in our new community. The previous owner left us a bottle of Yellow Tail and a [...]

Mad Men Generation, Meet Today’s Woman and other fun stuff

January 21, 2012 By Erika @NaMammaSte

This very long week ended with a bang. I’m not sure where I should start. From the beginning or the end? Here’s a quick summary: I spent three days working on my first custom blog design for another blogger (I’m very excited about it and you can check it out here!). It looks like I [...]

House Shopping And Other News

December 5, 2011 By Erika @NaMammaSte

You may have noticed I’ve been pretty quiet on here and when I do post, what I write is pretty brief. We have a lot going on right now. Along with getting ready for the holidays like everyone else, we’re also trying to prepare for baby #2 and figure out our living and my working [...]

A New World

October 4, 2010 By Erika @NaMammaSte

I always new that my children would grow up in a different world than the one I grew up in. My world, after all, was so much different than my parents’. Even so, I was still somewhat struck by the realization of just how much different Dylan’s childhood will be. We drove around with one [...]

Home is where the heart is

July 12, 2010 By Erika @NaMammaSte

We arrived at our new DC area home on Friday afternoon and have been living here with a few sets of clothes, a pack n play for Dylan, and a blow up mattress for us. That’s really about it besides food and bowls for the dog and cat. Yesterday, Andy left for training and I [...]

Time flies when you're having fun!

July 7, 2010 By Erika @NaMammaSte

Dylan just had his six month check up and shots yesterday. Yes, I set up this appointment to conflict with the time the movers were scheduled to be here, ON PURPOSE, so I’d have an excuse to get out of the house (Andy was around too)… not really the best decision ever, but that’s another [...]

The movers come tomorrow…

July 5, 2010 By Erika @NaMammaSte

As I talked about the other day, the packers came on Friday so we have lived among tons of boxes without access to much of anything over the weekend. I am SO excited for the movers to get here tomorrow! So, in the mean time, I’ve been playing around with my blog and decided to [...]

Paralyzed by Stress

July 2, 2010 By Erika @NaMammaSte

I am spoiled. The last time my husband and I moved we were living in Philly and I was traveling for my job (and I’m also a procrastinator, so I definitely wasn’t using the weekend a WHOLE WEEK before the movers came to pack!) so Andy did most of the packing before the movers came. [...]

Must Remove Foot from Mouth!

July 1, 2010 By Erika @NaMammaSte

Ok, I seriously need to put more thought into what I say before opening my mouth! There’s a reason I like writing more than talking… stupid comments are less likely to make it out into the world when I write because I have the chance to go back and edit. I swear I put my [...]

Conflicting Emotions

June 30, 2010 By Erika @NaMammaSte

Yesterday, as Diana from Hormonal Imbalances wrote about, I went to see her (my best friend). She lives almost three hours away from me and I took the baby and the dog and drove out for the day. I did this because we’re moving in exactly a week and I wanted to make sure I [...]
