Hey there! I’ve been absent since Alex’s birthday (apart from Tuesday’s post). While we were recovering from the birthday party (hello, 35 of Alex’s closest friends and family) John and Alex came down with a stomach bug. Needless to say, we were a mess around here for a week! Now everybody is feeling healthy again! Woot! Anyways, for Alex’s first birthday treat, we took him to the Cincinnati Zoo! He was pretty…
The nurse came in an I will spare you the details of a water breaking. You can imagine or don’t… From there it was time to switch to the labor a delivery room. Just the mention of being moved to L & D made me pretty freaked out. Everything seemed to be happening at lightning speed. At some point in the early morning hours, I succumbed to the pain and took a…
I was scrubbing my bath tub, just like any other woman at 9 months pregnant would be doing. Making sure everything was perfect for when our little bean arrived. At 11:07 a.m. I heard the tail end of my ring tone, so I waited for a voicemail to be left for me. I listened to my OB say “I need to talk to you about the ultrasound that you had today, in…
I’m starting to get the spring cleaning bug. The sun is shining and Pinterest is covered with brightly colored cleaning supplies, tips and checklists. I’m itching to get my windows open to air out my house (fingers crossed it’s done snowing in Ohio) and get rid of all the germies still lingering. This was my favorite pin…it sucked me right in with those neon supplies! Turns out it was a great list…
Good morning! I’m sorry I’ve been such a blogging slacker lately! My mind has felt like mush in the writing department. Marathon training is picking up, I’m trying to get my Etsy shop going again with things for spring/summer, Alex needs more and more entertainment as he gets older and I’ve just been hanging out with John =] Instagram sreineke7 I don’t know how working moms do it. Honestly. I’m exhausted at…
I’ll admit it. I’m a little crazy. But sometimes I really miss getting up in the night to snuggle Alex. As his first birthday approaches, I find myself missing my little snugly peanut. Don’t get me wrong, I’m loving every minute of every day watching him learn and grow and experience new things. There are just sometimes I find myself missing him in the middle of the night. I mean, for 9…
Good morning, guys! Hope you all had a fun and relaxing weekend. We have a very special treat for you today at Reineke Ramblings; John is going to start contributing his two cents to the blog! Woot! Here is his first post =] Enjoy! ——————————————————————————————————————————————————– Hello all, Since Sam has been blogging for just about a year now I figured it was time that I chime in and tell it how it…
I wanted to get some cute pictures of Alex to put on his birthday party invite. He had other ideas. Here are a few of the ones I got. This was the winner for the birthday invitation! How perfect is the jersey for his first birthday?? Love! This is how the invite turned out! I made it using Pic Monkey and it was way easier than I thought it would be! And…
Happy Monday everyone! This past weekend we enjoyed a little vacation to Boyne Mountain up in Michigan. John, Alex and I went with Sarah, Jose and Parker! Alex did wonderful for the 8+ hour car ride up to beautiful Northern Michigan. It has been quite a while since we have been up this far north, and I loved it! There was a ton of snow and the conditions were perfect for skiing…
Well, we have hit a major milestone here in the Reineke Household! Alex is officially a walking machine! Although he took his first steps a little while ago, he needed a little more practice before he was confident to walk everywhere. He definitely has it down pat now! I can’t believe how fast he is on his feet; it’s a whole new level of chasing! It has been a blast so far…
