Love Your Mom Friends

Pam shared this sweet video with us, and it was too good not to share! The author speaking is Kelly Corrigan, who recently wrote "The Middle Place". She has an amazing way with words, and can also be read this month in BabyTalk magazine! Watch the video and love your Mom friends!

Valentines Day

Thanks to sickness, it has wiped half of the group out this week! While the Mancusi girls stayed home to recover, and Ashley was off to Chicago to visit family, the rest of went over Penelope's and Wally's for a little Valentine celebration. We are all recovering from various nasty Winter sickness, but luckily on the mend. The kids enjoyed chocolate covered strawberries, playing with Penelope's dad, and eating lollipops! The moms enjoyed time to talk about current toddler issues (aka potty training, and bad eating habits).  We also exchanged cute valentines! One stuck out of the group since they were handmade from Melody's mom who happens to be a Stampen Up representative/demonstrator!

Lillian Turns the BIG 1 !!!!

We can hardly believe it--Lillian is 1!!!!!!! We all came together to celebrate at the Mancusi crib!!! It was so great to get together with all the husbands and kids. We all enjoyed great food, great company, and of course the cutest birthday girl ever! We were also VERY lucky to have Lillian's father, Dave, take such amazing pictures of our kids (I hope he doesn't mind me sharing them with all of you).
