The Newbourne Identity: 7 Quick Takes
http://www.thenewbourneidentity.com/2013/02/7-quick-takes.html
Tuesday, February 12, 2013. 1 At mass last weekend, during the Great Amen, Mark was singing along by singing "Ironman" instead of "Amen." I think he's got it. Yes yes you are, Marko. 3 Joey's newest trick is that he can climb up in the window seat. He loves to watch the squirrels run around in the front yard. I always wonder what my neighbors think. 4 Seriously. is there anything better than baby kisses? I'm trying to dig out some old pictures from when we were in Rome during the last change of Popes....

Friday, October 26, 2012. Head down in shame from taking time away from the blog) . I'm going to return by joining Jen and better bloggers of America. With 7 Quick Takes of the week. What better way to return? 1 Mark looks at life much differently than I do and for that I both love him and am puzzled by him at times. Take for example, I made a fantastic (if I do say so myself) pasta salad with cherry tomatoes in it. While Mark was eating dinner, he kept pointing to his bowl and saying "crab! 5 Lately, Ja...

Friday, November 30, 2012. Joining Jen and crew. Again this week. Everyone seemed to like the iphone edition of 7 quick takes last week. So I thought I'd do it again this week! 1 Recently Mark has become interested in doing chores and my mom bought him a new cleaning set from Lakeshore Learning here. So anytime I start to sweep or mop, he runs over and grabs his tools. The cutest part about this particular day was that as I mopped, he kept saying "Good job, Momma! 2 One of Joey's new tricks is to wave!

Friday, September 28, 2012. I'm joining Jen and crew at Conversion Diary. With the weekly "7 Quick Takes" again this week. I think it's a fun way to wrap up the week, so here we go. 4 My little guy turns 2 on Oct. 5th. It's hard to believe that 2 years have passed since we had him, but I'm excited that we get to celebrate his birthday with family up north. I'll post something mushier next week. :). 5 Does anyone else get sucked into Target? 7 I've been working with Mark on saying his prayers at night....

Thursday, October 17, 2013. A Little Parenting Advice. Yesterday, a friend from college asked me for some books, websites or anything that would help guide her and her husband on their journey to starting their family. I was shocked. Why would someone ask me? Based on my experiences thus far in parenting, to new parents or those preparing for a family, know the following:. In no particular order:. 1 You will fail. Starting on a high note, eh? But you can succeed. 2 Parenting is a team sport. I tend to sh...

The Newbourne Identity: Nesting in Mario World
http://www.thenewbourneidentity.com/2012/05/nesting-in-mario-world.html
Tuesday, May 8, 2012. Nesting in Mario World. Every pregnant woman nests, right? For Joseph's nursery, the theme that Jacob and I agreed on was the Original Super Mario Brothers. We were on our way to Thanksgiving in Texas when we finally decided on the theme. Now, once we decide on a theme we start to brainstorm various ideas of how the room can be designed. We become a design team - I'm the artist/painter/problem creator and my husband becomes the carpenter/problem solver. Janel @ The Newbourne Identity.

Thursday, December 12, 2013. How We Met: Flashback. A friend from college, Kate, wrote a flashback blog about her engagement with her husband. And it motivated me warm up the ole' blog and do something similar. Copy cat. maybe. Nesting and recording things. maybe. Bored of doing laundry and cleaning the house and looking for something else to do. maybe. How Jacob and I started dating is actually quite a funny story. So without further ado. Until a year later. There we were. dating for over a year...When ...

Sunday, December 9, 2012. What I Wore Sunday. Returning again to join the lovely ladies at Fine Linen and Purple. For the weekly check in to see what everyone is wearing to mass. The weather is finally cooling down enough to start wearing coats again and since I'm in love with cute coats, here we are again with another coat from Le' Peyton Coat Collection (aka, my closet). H&M (from a gift card that I got several years ago at my company Christmas party). Leave me a comment! Janel @ The Newbourne Identity.

Thursday, January 31, 2013. 7 Quick Takes - this week. Now it's time to bring you up to speed on this week! 1 The weather this week has been super bizarre. Two days in a row it was 70 degrees and we went to the park one day and the zoo the other, then today, it's supposed to get down to 9 degrees and it snowed a little yesterday. Maybe next week I'll have to get the toddler pool out and have a swim party with little umbrellas sticking out of sippy cups- ya just never know. But it is so worth it! 7 Quick ...
