About Our Blog

Thanks for visiting! I created this blog to share updates on my family and how grateful we are for all the blessings the Lord has given us. I am happily married and the busy working mommy of two very active little boys. We enjoy raising our family and making memories together. I blog about the ordinary adventures of family life and my many other mommy-interests.

This active little guy is HUNGRY!


Eating some homemade organic baby food! Can you say yummy?



Hanging out in the new jogging stroller...



Taking pictures in wildflowers....A Texas springtime tradition


James in the new duck tub. Bath time is fun again!

Since our last post things have been super busy at the Duffy house! I returned to work on March 27th. I will not go into detail here about my return except to say that leaving James that first day was the single hardest thing I have ever done. It has been about three weeks now and I have made the adjustment and feel positive about it. James started at a small home daycare and seems to love it! He always gets great daily reports and is very happy and smiley when I pick him up in the afternoon. We spend all evening hanging out with James and go on walks, play with toys, read books and just cuddle. Our bedtime routine which involves reading, singing, rocking in the glider and saying our prayers is my favorite part of the whole day!

James has also rolled over for the first time! He rolled over from stomach to back on April 9th and from back to stomach on April 18th. It is so cute, although James seems shy about rolling over in front of Daddy and he has yet to see it so far. I am sure it will be any day now.

We decided to start James on veggies this weekend. He has become very interested in table food and seemed ready, so we tried out butternut squash and he loved it! Because of his reflux we have had to include rice cereal in his bottles for the last month. We tried a little rice cereal off a spoon in the last few weeks but it was not met with rave reviews. We could not believe how well James did with the squash. Our friend Kelli and I made some homemade organic baby food purees. It was so much fun and we are excited about feeding our babies healthy food that actually looks and tastes good. We got together and made squash, sweet potatoes and zucchini and then you just freeze it in ice cube trays. When baby is ready to eat you just get a cube from the freezer and warm it up. Very cool!

Last but not least, James attended a birthday party for the first time last night. My friend's son turned 8 years old and James had a good time watching all the kids and adults at the party. He even wore a party hat! We had a good time and can't wait to have James' first birthday party!

That's all for now! We will post more soon!
