Hey all! Stay tuned for an upcoming review of the documentary ‘Dive’. For now, I wanted to show you a few videos that I’m loving!

The first is the winning music video made for round 3 of the Sakura Bloom Triathlon @ Adventures in Babywearing. How creative is this??!

Second, a TED talk from Sir Ken Robinson about creating a school system that nurtures creativity in children … it’s a bit on the long side but is a FASCINATING talk.

Third, a trailer from the movie BABIES … I can’t wait to see this one!

And because I can’t possibly do a video sharing post without including them, here’s my favourite New Zealand folk parody band, Flight of the Conchords, performing their song Business Time.

Enjoy!

This week, Sesame Street is celebrating it’s 40th Anniversary! To celebrate with them, I thought I’d post my all-time favourite Sesame Street clip

And because it’s hilarious, here’s the Captain Vegetable video! Thanks to Citizen Kid for reminding me of this fantastic video!

Le demain passé, j’ai fini mes chausettes!

Ils sont agréable, non?

J’ai déjà monté pour un autre paire des chausettes. J’ai trouvé une filme excellente qui représentant une method pour monté le fil pour les chausettes ‘toe-up’ - double knitting. Aller à 3:55 pour les instructions.

While we were at my parent’s house for Christmas, Gwen started fake clapping … she really just was banging her hands together when she got excited.

Today, though?

They’re in order of oldest to newest … the oldest was I believe taken in November, and the newest was taken in December sometime. I’ve got a great one on my camera … but I can’t currently FIND my camera. ARG.

Brad and I are trying to get into somewhat of a routine these days. The plan is to be waking up at 7am every day, since he’s trying to get to work for 8:30am so he can leave at 5pm instead of 6pm. So far this week, we’ve done pretty well!

Gwen had a HORRIBLE night on Monday night - she was awake 4 times between 7:30 and 10:30, woke at 11:30 to eat and was awake, on average, every 45 minutes all. night. long.

To say it was difficult is an understatement.

So, Brad and I devised a plan to handle bedtime and nightwaking that we’re comfortable with and tonight is night #2 on “the plan”. Last night was fabulous. She was asleep by 8:30pm and ate at 11pm and 2am and woke up around 7:30am. AHHHH, sheer bliss after our couple of bad nights.

Enough about that! Read the rest of this entry »

The embedded vimeo seems to take a ridiculous amount of time to load in the post, so I figured I’d just send ya’ll to the source. Click HERE to go to a video of Gwen eating

Well, I thought I’d post the third video we took of Gwen. I can’t believe I didn’t think about taking videos earlier in her life. *hangs head in shame* Read the rest of this entry »

Here’s one of Gwen sitting and playing Read the rest of this entry »

I finally uploaded the video of Gwen in the Jolly Jumper. I have two new videos to upload, too, but they take a long time!! Read the rest of this entry »
