sometimes a girl just needs a cheeseburger.</h1> <article> <h1>sometimes a girl just needs a cheeseburger.</h1> <p>Kristina Wilberg — 2013-04-20T10:32:52-07:00</p> <p> <a class="asset-img-link" href="http://kristinawilberg.typepad.com/.a/6a00e54fb19a1f8834017eea6cfa02970d-popup" onclick="window.open( this.href, '_blank', 'width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0' ); return false" style="display: inline;"></a><br /><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I am not a marriage expert, obviously. BUT being in a relationship with someone for 13 years and married for almost 8, does give me some street cred, right?</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I mean, he has dealt with me through two preganancies...that's a feat in itself.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I was reminded of a very important marriage secret this week and I thought I would share.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Matt and I don't really "hide" stuff from eachother. That would be dishonest and not a great foundation for marriage, so we try and avoid that.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">However, every now and again I get this INSANE need for a cheeseburger. Not just ANY cheeseburger, but a Culver's single with cheese, ketchup, mustard and extra pickle:) It's SO good and makes me totally happy. I rarely feel guilty about it 'cause we eat well 96% of the time. Well, I do anyways;)</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Matt doesn't really get cravings, but every now and again I will find sprinkles in the car....like multi colored sprinkles from a donut, And I'm like, "where did these come from?" I didn't have a donut, I wish I did though!!! Turns out every now and again Matt stops on his way home from work and treats himself to some donuts, but he just didn't have the heart to tell me. And I'm like WHAT???</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">So the other night I said to him...."I am just so proud of you for not buying any take and bake pizzas this week!" AND he had this guilty look on his face. He went out to the garage freezer and brought in a mini one. GUILTY! Then he says to me, how was your culver's today? And I'm like, "How did you know?" and he's like, "I saw the bag you hid in the trash outside."</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I'm like, "I wasn't HIDING it from you, I just didn't want you to know." hahaha</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Moral of the story, sometimes, YOU DON'T NEED TO SAY A WORD. You know. They know. And it just doesn't matter. Let your spouse have their "secrets." It's best for everyone involved:)</span></p> </article> <article> <h1>six.</h1> <p>Kristina Wilberg — 2013-04-15T11:35:47-07:00</p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"> <a class="asset-img-link" href="http://kristinawilberg.typepad.com/.a/6a00e54fb19a1f8834017c38a18c1a970b-popup" onclick="window.open( this.href, '_blank', 'width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0' ); return false" style="display: inline;"></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">I am a couple of weeks behind (shocker!)</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">BUT, this little lady turned SIX!!!</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">Five was pretty awesome, but six is a little scary.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">AND honestly, I am not a huge fan so far.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">Hoping her growing pains subside soon and she gets back to "normal," whatever that means.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">(WARNING...gonna get a little off topic)</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">That being said, I feel like I have come across SO many sad "kid" stories on the world wide web lately.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">The kind of stories that leave you crying at your desk and speeding off to wherever your little ones are to pick them up and squeeze them and be grateful for them and NOT let them out of your sight.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">And then I just feel guilty and my heart hurts.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">I feel guilty for not listening to EVERY word they say. Guilty for cleaning or exercising or doing anything that takes me away from them. It probably sounds stupid, but some days it is just SO challenging to find a balance between encouraging them to occupy their own time and "being there" for them at every moment. I am not stupid, I know that it is unrealistic. AND it is SO important for them to trust other adults, BE with other adults and use their brains to play and explore on their own.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">BUT, then I come across another story and the circle starts again. I should really stop reading these "stories" but it's like a car accident, you just have to look.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">SO, back to alaina, the SIX year old.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">She drives me bananas.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">In a we are so much alike, butt heads all the time, who can be more stubborn kind of way.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">and I LOVE HER SO MUCH.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">She's my #1.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">My first born, strong willed, independent, free thinking little stinker.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">Thank GOD she was first. She has taught me so much over the last 6 years.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">She is an amazing sister. Bridget ADORES her.</span> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"> <a class="asset-img-link" href="http://kristinawilberg.typepad.com/.a/6a00e54fb19a1f8834017c38a1e3d9970b-popup" onclick="window.open( this.href, '_blank', 'width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0' ); return false" style="display: inline;"></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">They fight, yell, scream and then hug, laugh, play.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">I don't get it at all. I am an only child.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">Apparently that's the way it works, or so I am told.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">She blows my mind every day with her stories and songs and kindness.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">She has a HUGE heart and genuine love for everyone.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">She prefers to be the center of attention, but is learning that life doesn't always work that way....which is a very hard lesson to teach a kid of her kind. She challenges everyone in her life, but at the same time, the reward is ours to enjoy. </span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">I am very much looking forward to SUMMER with this kiddo and her sister.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">It's just gonna be GOOD.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"> <a class="asset-img-link" href="http://kristinawilberg.typepad.com/.a/6a00e54fb19a1f8834017eea45321f970d-popup" onclick="window.open( this.href, '_blank', 'width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0' ); return false" style="display: inline;"></a><br />(after too much birthday cake)</p> <p style="text-align: center;">HUG YOUR BABIES, xoxo </p> </article> <article> <h1>I made a little wall quilt.</h1> <p>Kristina Wilberg — 2013-02-13T08:39:42-08:00</p> <p><a class="asset-img-link" href="http://kristinawilberg.typepad.com/.a/6a00e54fb19a1f8834017d41083d86970c-popup" onclick="window.open( this.href, '_blank', 'width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0' ); return false" style="display: inline;"><br /></a></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-family: 'andale mono', times; color: #5b5b5b; font-size: 11pt;">For our main floor bathroom.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'andale mono', times; color: #5b5b5b; font-size: 11pt;">I am hoping not to say these words SO many times per day.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'andale mono', times; color: #5b5b5b; font-size: 11pt;">Do you think it will help?</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'andale mono', times; color: #5b5b5b; font-size: 11pt;">One of the two kiddos can read...well, kind of:)</span></p> </article> <article> <h1>well, it happened.</h1> <p>Kristina Wilberg — 2013-01-22T10:29:18-08:00</p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 11pt; color: #5b5b5b;">my girls have become picky eaters, UGH!!</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 11pt; color: #5b5b5b;">we have fallen victim to mac n' cheese and chicken nuggets. Something I said I would NEVER feed my kids.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 11pt; color: #5b5b5b;">Don't get me wrong, I am not a stickler on organic, free-range, perfect, idealistic food, BUT I do have expectations for what we are teaching our kids is healthy and I want them to make good choices as they get older.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 11pt; color: #5b5b5b;">I am also realistic....they are 2 and 5, they are NOT going to down a plate of broccolli and smile about it, but for goodness sake could they just choke down a veggie every now and again??</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 11pt; color: #5b5b5b;">THE MAJOR PROBLEMS....</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 11pt; color: #5b5b5b;">Bridget (age 2): She only likes cheese...aka...mac 'n cheese, cheese and crackers, grilled cheese, cheese sticks, cottage cheese, she also loves yogurt, almond milk and any kind of fruit.

Needless to say I am kinda happy it's November! However, I am blown away that this YEAR has gone so fast. I keep thinking each month we will slow down a bit but it just never happens.

Alaina started Kindergarten, Bridget started a new daycare, Matt started a new assignment at work and I am at <a href="http://www.quiltedtreasures.net" target="_self">the shop</a> more regularly. Its taken LOTS of planning and organizing, but we are working the kinks out!!</span> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"> <a class="asset-img-link" href="http://kristinawilberg.typepad.com/.a/6a00e54fb19a1f8834017744bf52dc970d-popup" onclick="window.open( this.href, '_blank', 'width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0' ); return false" style="display: inline;"></a></p> <p><span style="color: #737373; font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">Here's what has helped our family so far:</span></p> <p><span style="color: #737373; font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">1. Combine Schedules in ONE SPOT and attack each day as it comes. I have been doing a weekly schedule for meals and a DAILY FAMILY schedule for everyone (Erasable board from Target $9). It's kind of like a clean slate, literally...wipe it clean and start fresh daily! Every day is different for us, so it's nice to just focus on one day at a time!</span></p> <p> <a class="asset-img-link" href="http://kristinawilberg.typepad.com/.a/6a00e54fb19a1f8834017d3c0ff2a1970c-popup" onclick="window.open( this.href, '_blank', 'width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0' ); return false" style="display: inline;"></a></p> <p><span style="color: #737373; font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">I put all of Alaina's school stuff on one bulletin board (Target $15). That way we can look the night before and see what she needs for the next day....Lunch, gym class, return library books, bring snack, etc....I can see where this would get challenging for multiple school aged kids, but for us, at this time, it's working out great. I am on the hunt for a better entryway unit. Something with more storage so we don't just plop junk on top.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"> <a class="asset-img-link" href="http://kristinawilberg.typepad.com/.a/6a00e54fb19a1f8834017d3c0ff3bb970c-popup" onclick="window.open( this.href, '_blank', 'width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0' ); return false" style="display: inline;"></a></p> <p><span style="color: #737373; font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">2. Plan ahead. Set out clothes, pack your gym bag, fill water bottles, pack leftovers for lunches. It's easier to make healthier choices for meals when you plan ahead....saves time AND money!</span></p> <p><span style="color: #737373; font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">3. Have the kids stuff accessible to them.</span></p> <p> <a class="asset-img-link" href="http://kristinawilberg.typepad.com/.a/6a00e54fb19a1f8834017744bf593c970d-popup" onclick="window.open( this.href, '_blank', 'width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0' ); return false" style="display: inline;"></a></p> <p><span style="color: #737373; font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">Found the <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70206743/" target="_self">cute red bench </a>at IKEA ($45) and the covered baskets at HOMEGOODS ($6.99 each). Each kid has a basket for their shoes and can get them on their own. Hooks are from PIER ONE and are hung low, so they can reach coats and backpacks. Our entryway closet isn't very big, so we have improvised on storage space.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #737373; font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 11pt;">I am really loving our new schedule, but with any transition comes challenges and these things have helped our family minimize those challenges.

You can spend an evening sewing, send it to the quilter and use it the next week...INSTANT GRATIFICATION...my kind of summertime project!!</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a class="asset-img-link" href="http://store.quiltedtreasures.net/stores_app/Browse_Item_Details.asp?Store_id=624&page_id=23&Item_ID=2785" onclick="window.open( this.href, '_blank', 'width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0' ); return false" style="display: inline;" target="_self"></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://store.quiltedtreasures.net/stores_app/Browse_Item_Details.asp?Store_id=624&page_id=23&Item_ID=2785" target="_self">Pattern Available HERE!</a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a class="asset-img-link" href="http://store.quiltedtreasures.net/stores_app/Browse_Item_Details.asp?Store_id=624&page_id=23&Item_ID=2792" onclick="window.open( this.href, '_blank', 'width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0' ); return false" style="display: inline;" target="_self"></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://store.quiltedtreasures.net/stores_app/Browse_Item_Details.asp?Store_id=624&page_id=23&Item_ID=2792" target="_self">Kit Available HERE!</a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a class="asset-img-link" href="http://store.quiltedtreasures.net/stores_app/Browse_Item_Details.asp?Store_id=624&page_id=23&Item_ID=2792" onclick="window.open( this.href, '_blank', 'width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0' ); return false" style="display: inline;" target="_self"></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 11pt; color: #737373;">Our other NEW pattern is called <a href="http://store.quiltedtreasures.net/stores_app/Browse_Item_Details.asp?Store_id=624&page_id=23&Item_ID=2786" target="_self">Take a Picture Sweetie!</a> Anybody know what somg that came from??
