Stepniowski Family

As soon as the holidays ended, Skye’s birthday rolled around on January 9th.  Because of that, as well as the weather conditions, we decided to have a more intimate celebration at home with just family.  Hopefully, she won’t hold that against me one day when she realizes that Aidan had a big picnic celebration at [...]

Here’s to the end of 2009… an eventful year that welcomed Skye into the world, started Aidan in kindergarten, gave Luke a new employer and much more! This is one year that I certainly can’t complain about. 
To each of our family and friends, here’s to a happy, healthy and auspicious 2010…

Well, Christmas came and went very quickly… as it normally does I suppose.  Thanks to retail America, we start getting pumped up so early and then it’s over in such a flash!
This year, we spread the love and decided not to have a big celebration at our place.  Instead, we spent Christmas Eve with Luke’s [...]

It really is hard to believe it’s that time of year again!  It feels like just yesterday that we were celebrating Christmas and waiting for Skye to make her big entry into the world.  Now, here we are again only plus one in the Stepniowski family.
For us, 2009 has been a whirlwind of events… from [...]

We went with the “potluck” theme again for Thanksgiving this year… it’s a genius idea really.  Our oven is still unpredictable (AKA broken), so making a turkey or anything requiring some time behind it is almost impossible.  We divided up the meal to create a massive feast of gluttonous proportions. Of course, I managed to [...]

Well, this is my attempt at finally posting something to our new site.  It seems I’ve been caught up with Twitter updates and all of the other chaotic stuff that comes with life as a full-time mom that works too.  If it weren’t for my iPhone, I probably would go insane.
Anyway, so what’s going on [...]

Labor Day is always a significant time of the year for Luke and I because the 1st is our anniversary.  I’m proud to say that we’ve been married eight years now and still going strong!  With two kids, the anniversary celebration this year included take-out thai from Jasmine eaten over a vinyl tablecloth and both kids [...]

Join us in celebration of Earth Day on April 19th @ 11am.  We’re planning a potluck style picnic, along with a scavenger hunt and arts/crafts for the kids.
We were unable to reserve the shelter that we normally get, but Luke has agreed to get there at the crack of dawn and reserve the other spot by the playground.  [...]

Over the past week, we've spent hours putting together Lego kits that Aidan got for Christmas.  Honestly, the kid did a great job on his own and didn't really need a lot of help.  Most of the kits were for 7-12 year olds, so we figured he'd get frustrated.  But, he held his own and took his [...]

Well, this holiday was certainly an eventful one… but, in retrospect, I guess I say that every year.
This year, I managed to get all of the shopping done weeks in advance.  So, I was able to miss the majority of the consumer chaos that usually drains my holiday spirit.  Thank you lego.com and amazon.com for letting me do most [...]
