Since the baby was born 2 months ago, my husband and I have been making a concentrated effort to get out the house and do a date night every week. Of course, during the first few weeks after birth that didn’t happen. We were far too sleep-deprived to go anywhere! Now that the baby is sleeping more, I have been planning a weekly date night. This week I found a great deal on dinner through the MasterCard Priceless website. MasterCard is working with Miami Spice from August 1st – September 30th, offering three-course meals featuring signature dishes created by world-renowned chefs. The dinners are $39 per person. Of course, this price is far below what you would normally spend at these restaurants. The deal made it easy for my hubby and I to try an expensive restaurant without spending a fortune. After all, we now have a baby at home to consider.

Cute Birth Announcements
I am officially announcing my child’s birth to my readers and to my friends and family! These days people announce this sort of thing on Facebook or even twitter. I am a huge fan of announcing monumental events, like having a child to my close friends and family via a traditional avenue using birth announcements.
I prefer mailing birth announcements to only announcing on Facebook for several reasons:
1. Not all my friends and family are on social media. I want everyone to hear the good news not just my friends and few family members that are on Facebook!
2. I want my friends and family to have physical pictures of my daughter to frame or put on their fridge. I keep out photo Christmas cards, photo baby announcements, and wedding save the dates on my fridge for a while. I love looking at happy moments in my friends’ and family’s lives.
3. I love receiving mail and I suspect other people do too! Everyday, I get the mail in the hopes that there will something fun besides bill and advertisements in it. Sometimes it is a magazine or a package, but other times it is a picture card from a friend or family. I adore all of it!

Baby Bath Time Video
As a new parent, I want to capture every moment of my child’s life perfectly so that I can look back at it when she’s older. It is painful to think about her getting older because she is my little girl. Of course, I want her to grow up, but I want to protect her from the world. She is beyond innocent now and I would love to be able to keep it that way. I realize that is not reality, but a mom can dream!

Give A Minute, Help Make-A-Wish
September is here already! I cannot believe that summer is nearly over and my daughter is almost 2 months old! People always say that time flies and it has been flying for me! I am not sure if you are familiar with Make-A-Wish® charity. Make-A-Wish® grants the wish of a child diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition in the United States and its territories, on average, every 38 minutes. They believe that a wish experience can be a game-changer for these children.
