Me and My Family

Hi, my name is Kristen and I am the work-at-home mom of Ethan (born February 2005) and Nathan (born February 11, 2007). I own my own screenprinting business and make smart ass maternity t-shirts over at www.babybrewing.com. My husband's name is Derek and he is the kindest soul who tolerates both my blogging and mothering style. He is his son's biggest fan.


I also blog over at www.mommyneedsacocktail.com.

It's hot, then it's cold, then it's hot, then it's cold

Comment Published at 11:2411:247 comments7 comments300 Visits300 VisitsReport

If it were nice mild spring weather, I probably wouldn't be complaining.  But it's that rainy, cranky weather that is making me cranky.  The kids have been inside for three days now (other than that boat trip up the reservoir in the rain) and they are starting to get a little feisty.  If I have to take them to the mall so they can run around, I think I may go crazy.

Oh, it's Monday alright

Comment Published at 05:2905:298 comments8 comments115 Visits115 VisitsReport

I am so tired this morning and the day hasn't even begun yet.  Ethan just crawled into bed with me and I can hear Nate yelling from down the hall.  One of these days I think I am going to need to get my sleep.  We did have a fabulous weekend.  Derek bought a small rowboat and we all went out on the river yesterday.  I think it's hilarious that we thought it was a good idea to get into the boat before checking to see if it would float. 

In case you are wondering, it floated just fine.

The Cherry Blossoms are blooming

Comment Published at 18:0118:013 comments3 comments93 Visits93 VisitsReport

That are so beautiful in downtown D.C.  So beautiful, in fact, that I told my friends that I should take their engagement picture at a park closer to our house that is filled with cherry trees.  We got there today and no cherry blossoms.  BOOO!!!
