A Comment answered from last post (I tried to email this person but no email could be found) anyways I would probably get between $10.00 to $15.00 gift card from Starbucks for each teacher and if you feel like you should do more you can add a simple coffee mug to the gift.

Updating this list has really helped me stay focused and on track. So if you are pregnant and feeling overwhelmed with all the things you need to complete before your baby arrives this might help.

So I got this image on my iPhone on Monday
I guess I take too many pictures...
has this happened to anyone else???
I have most of the pictures on my iPhone on my computer, but I love going back and looking at older pictures of Grayson...so I hate deleting them.
So now I have completely removed all the images from my phone and have a clean library to fill up again.
I guess this needed to happen before another sweet baby boy joins our family.
Does anyone use an online storage to house all the pictures you take of your kids? I have two external drives that I have our images on right now, but open for other suggestions. Thanks in advance!
Grayson decided on MONDAY morning to wake up REALLY early so I wasn't ready for the day so as I got ready for the day Grayson had fun doing this...
He is one busy boy!
Happy Thursday!
One more day and it is the weekend...

Just a caution -- I had a friend whose little girl was playing with the bottom rack of the dishwasher (like G in the above pics)...she tripped and fell on one of the "spikes" (can't think of a better word) and punctured a hole in her face. She was about G's age when it happened. So now I'm super paranoid about my kids (and other kids!) playing with it!! :)
I've gotten that notification on my phone so many times and I just had to finally be ok with deleting old pictures. I was the same way...even though they were on my computer I still liked having them on my phone. But the only way to keep taking pictures was to delete them. :(
Picasa is a free storage place to put your pics and you can organize by date, name, etc:))
Hope this helps.
About once every few months, I go and burn all of my pictures onto DVD's; and put them in a safe deposit box at our bank. I also had external hard drives, and 2 years ago it crashed, erasing all of our pictures. We could have sent it off to try to retrieve pictures, for about $3000. It was hard to put a price on pictures but I just couldn't justify 3 grand! I organize my pictures by kid, then by month and year, so they are all easy to find. Uses a lot of DVD's, but I feel comfortable with them this way...
Hope the furniture gets here soon!!
hahahaha love the pics of Grayson with his new "train" ha! To think all the trains he has and he loves that one best lol! That list idea rocks! I bet it has helped you tons! Sounds like you are nesting pretty girl! Fingers crossed Crew's dresser comes in soon! Hope you are feeling well!

Scary. My lil boy is 16 months old and loves to help with the dishwasher and climb over it and it always makes me slightly paranoid. This will make me even more cautious.

I saw your little side note. I am a teacher and gift cards are becoming more and more popular as gifts. Honestly, after 11 years, I have had my fill of mugs, frames, worlds best teacher gifts, etc. The gift cards are much appreciated. I have received anywhere from $5 to $20. As teachers, any little recognition from the student/parent is awesome. Even a handwritten note or picture are perfect gifts!
Wow- you have really knocked that list out! Hope your furniture arrives soon. I know you have to be getting anxious!
Have a good weekend :)
I just got that message recently and had to back all mine up. I use smugmug and can back them up from my phone with the app. It does cost money but I would rather pay and make sure I have my pictures
