Vienna And Prague!

by Lindsay on July 23, 2010

Tomorrow Jared and I are going to Vienna and Prague for a week!  Beth and Greg (my in-laws) are here in Colorado to watch Colin while we’re gone, so it’ll be almost like a second honeymoon!

When Jared was in college he did a semester abroad in Prague so he has been there and to Vienna before.  I wasn’t able to visit while he was there (International plane tickets are expensive for a starving student!) and I’ve never been to Europe so I’m SO excited!  Jared is really excited to show me where he lived in Prague too.  He even said that he’s going to show me where he used to go when he was talking to me on the phone!

I bought a few guidebooks and we’re going to read them and plan our activities on the plane, but I do have a couple things that I already know I want to do.  In Vienna there’s a bicycle tour around the town, a wine tasting excursion and kayaking on a canal through town.  In Prague there’s the castle and the Charles Bridge that I definitely want to check out.  I really want to find out if there’s a zip line to do somewhere in the countryside, but Jared said that there probably won’t be.  I know he’s right, but I’ve been dying to do a zip line somewhere!

If you know of any activities or restaurants to check out while we’re there, let me know!

Have a great weekend!

Things To Do

by Lindsay on July 9, 2010

I haven’t been blogging a lot lately.  I feel like the only time to do stuff is when Colin is napping (the time after Colin goes to bed needs to be spent with my husband).  And lately more often then not Colin has only been taking one nap a day.  So that gives me about an hour to two hours a day to do stuff for myself.  Factor in that I take my shower while Colin is napping and there’s stuff around the house to get done, it doesn’t leave me with much time left over.  And lately I’ve been trying to digital scrapbook with that time.  It is ridiculous that I have all of these great (in my opinion!) pictures of Colin and I haven’t done anything with them.  So if I’m MIA for a little while, you can guess that I’m probably digital scrapbooking.  :)

Have a great weekend!

PS – Colin took his first few steps yesterday!

Venus Spa Breeze Razor: A Real Life Review

by Lindsay on June 30, 2010

Summer is officially here in full force and with summer comes the need to shave my legs more often.  Did I just admit to the world that I don’t normally shave my legs that often?!  Oh well, I’ll own up it!

Anyway, I’ve known about razor blades that had the shaving cream built in for a couple years now.  I’ve never tried it, though, because it looked like I’d have to buy a whole new razor and I thought that it was probably a gimmick to get you to buy more razor blades.  How long could the bar of shave cream around the razor really last and how much time could really be saved from it?!

This year, however, I saw that Gillette had come out with their own version of the built in shave cream razor blades.  And because Gillette makes my favorite razors and you can use any of their razor blades with the main razor, I tried them out.  Well let me tell you, I LOVE it!  It works so well, really does save a lot of time and fuss, and the blades still last for a pretty long time!

If you too hate shaving your legs, try the Venus Spa Breeze razor and/or razor blades.  It just might help to take the “annoying” out of having to shave your legs every day!

The Case Of The Stolen Bugaboo?

June 28, 2010

I think that someone tried stealing my Bugaboo stroller today.  I use the word “think” because I can’t prove for sure that this is what happened.  I should explain. Today I took Colin to get the mail in his wagon.  Our mailboxes are just up the street so I left the garage door open while [...]

Holy Hormonal Weaning!

June 25, 2010

Colin just had his one year doctor appointment.  At the appointment we found out that Colin is in the 55% for height and 25% for weight.  The doctor said that he thought that my milk supply must be tapering off and that is why Colin’s weight dropped.  He also said that he thought that I [...]

Cold At The Beach?

June 18, 2010

Okay, while I was in Florida a few weeks back I did some great shopping.  However, one thing I saw that totally confused me was this (see picture below). Okay, I don’t really get this?  Is it for the chilly days at the beach?!  Or is it because you need your arms covered with your [...]
