So Happy to Be Here!

IMGP0485.JPG 214x300 So Happy to Be Here!Since April, I’ve been blogging over on Being Pregnant about…well…not being pregnant. We’ve been trying for another baby since January and I’ve spent far too much time blogging about what I don’t have and not enough about what I do.

So, I’m thrilled to join the Babble Kids team and share my two kids with you.

When I’m not here on Babble, I blog over at in these small moments, where I try to capture the wonder, beauty, and whimsy in the small moments with my kids.

Some days this is way easier than others.

One of the things that I know for sure is that we’ll blink and our kids will be grown, so I try to stay in the moment as much as possible and write it all down when I can!

Small moments that I haven’t been able to avoid are all things craft related. To be clear, I am not even remotely crafty, but I have a daughter who dreams in glitter, so I do my best to foster that creativity.

I’m going to be looking for a bit of help with this, and that’s where you come in! I’m going tackle at least one fun project each week and share it with you here in a series I’m calling Small Kids Moments.

If you have a fun idea for a project, craft, or recipe that’s great for kids, send it to me here and if I use your idea, I’ll credit and link to you in my post.

I’ll be back tomorrow with the first in the series and this one was a huge hit!

In the meantime, you can find me on Facebook and Twitter, where I spend entirely too much of every nap time.

And now, on to the good stuff…my kids!

Yay!! You are going to rock it over here :) (And now Ryan won’t have heart palpitations every time I read your posts-the Being Pregnant logo freaked him out.)

And adorable interviews. I am going to attempt those with Abbey one day soon.

Yay!

Danielle–Thank you so much, my friend!

Rachel–This calls for a glass of wine. ;)

Angela–Poor Ryan! You really should try it with Abbey. Honestly, the best part was hearing the answers she gave for Matthew. Happy sighs.

Nicole–Thank you so very much! :)

Congrats on the move! Love the interviews!

And I’m cackling with glee and looking through my crafty archives. For things I thought were cool, but WAY to complicated and glittery for me. ;)

What a cute way to introduce the kids!

Jessica commented on Dec 01 11 at 6:47 pm

Yay! Welcome! I, too, am not the least bit crafty. In fact, I was planning to write a series of posts about it. Although I am not brave enough to commit to a project a week. I’ll be watching you to see what great stuff you and your readers come up with…

Elizabeth commented on Dec 01 11 at 6:54 pm

This sounds like so much fun! I’m going to try to video record her while I ask the questions! Wish me luck!

Wendy commented on Dec 01 11 at 6:59 pm

Yay for you being over here!! And I love the interviews, so dang cute!

So great to see you here and we call my youngest “Bubbies” too. Love that template and am totally using it. Now all of the Pinterest crafts I am afraid to try I can offer up to you and see what happens?? I see glitter, lots of glitter.

So excited to see what’s ahead for you! I second Jessica! Pinterest crafts for us to try!

Cam commented on Dec 01 11 at 9:04 pm

Very fun! I’m looking forward to reading you on here…and as a craft-challenged individual, I’ll be interested to see what your readers come up with for ideas!

Ruth commented on Dec 01 11 at 10:01 pm

Congrats, Nichole! I’ll be reading. p.s. I’m not crafty either but I want to be!
