Congratulations Rob!

Rob has won the Amelia Bee Blanket Giveaway.  He picked the Shadow Monkey fabric for his 9 month old son.  Rob has another son (4 years old)  that had a blanket that he brought home from Guatemala.  Rob stated that this blanket has provided his 4 year old with comfort and calmness.  Rob has tried many blankets for his 9 month old, none of which have been a hit.  He is hoping (as well as I am) that the Shadow Monkey Amelia Bee blanket will be a source of comfort and calmness much like his older brother's!

If you are not a winner this time around don't worry! Amelia Bee is going to be doing another Giveaway very soon.  We are introducing Nursing Covers and are hoping to do a giveaway next month. Be sure to follow www.lifewithkim.blgspot.com so you don't miss the give away!

Thank you all for entering and showing support.

Amelia Bee Giveaway

I was planning on keeping this blog a "personal" blog but I have to make a plug.

Amelia Bee is a business I started up when my daughter was born. I made her a cozy Amelia Bee blanket to keep her warm on the cool Minnesota nights. The blanket was so popular when we went out in public, I decided to make business cards. I wasn't really sure what I would do from there but when people started asking me how to order a blanket I decided to create a website. 

I am currently doing a blanket give away to one lucky follower. You will receive one

Whack-a-Mole

I'm just wondering why I wasn't informed that Whack-a-Mole was installed on my roof.  

Apparently the Association is allowing some men from a roofing company come and play this fantastic game right above all three of our bedrooms.  

Because it wasn't enough that my daughter was up at 4:00 am to nurse 

they thought it would be great to start "playing" at 7:00 a.m.  

 It is now 10:22 and I don't see any sign of them finishing up.  As a matter of fact it now sounds like they have taken up Curling and instead of brushes they are using metal rakes.

I am tempted to go up there and either begin dancing to their crazy Latin Pop Music and scare them off the roof or start accidentally pushing them off.  Oops

PS-Yes I did call my husband and "gently" asked why someone would think of re-roofing a house at 10:30 a.m. on a Monday.  Don't they know that people have to sleep?  His response was that there are approximately 35 people that live in our unit and it really wasn't  all about me.  WHAT?!

Is this normal?

I really don't have much to say about this because I am quite embarrassed but please look what I noticed while I was sitting at my computer this morning.

Yes, that would be a large hole worn in the sole of my dear husband's size 15 Cole Haan's. I feel bad, very bad. The poor guy can rarely find dress shoes in his size and when he does I make a big stink about how much they cost. He wears dress shoes to work EVERY DAY, while in my former life I wore tennis shoes and flip flops to work. So this would explain why I have 45 pairs of shoes right?

These are just my "winter" shoes

Oh but wait it gets worse....

These are just the ones she has outgrown.

Again, I feel really bad for my husband.

I technically won't be 30 yet

In October I went to the New Kids on The Block concert. October of 2007, not 1990. I had the time of my life-I screamed for Joey Mac, Lost my voice, and the next day had a killer hangover. Just like when I was 10-minus the hangover. The reason I am admitting this to you is because I have a new adventure coming up in April. A little concert called The Circus.






I have to admit that I am a little too excited for words. My best Friend Tracy called me this morning to ask if I would go with her, really? You don't have to ask me twice. I kinda felt bad taking the free ticket and asked if there was anyone else that she would rater take. "Kim, there is no one else in this world that will see Britney Spears with me." Fools I tell you-you are all Fools. This is going to be 100 times more fun than the NKOTB concert...


Matt and I have been debating the date of Keira's birthday party for a few weeks now. I want it on Saturday and he wants it on Sunday. (who, by the way, has a Sunday party? No daughter of mine.) He was thrilled when I told him that I was ok with Keira's party being on Sunday..."as I will be too hung over for her party on Saturday!" (I say in a sneaky voice making sure he knows he hasn't "won" this debate...I merely changed my opinion.) He asked what crazy idea I had come up with this time. I would not come out and say it...All I told him was to Google April 3rd,2009 Target Center. I know for a fact he has nothing better at work to do than spend time on the phone with me and googling things.



Being a better person than I, he was genuinely happy for me. "You guys are going to have so much fun...just don't blog about it...I am a little embarrassed for you."
