At the car wash (sing it!)

Hey, that's momma's car in there. What's happening to it? Oh, bath time. Wow - so that's the real color of momma's car! I thought it was brown like Mater, but it's black like Sheriff. Good to know.

A Little Birdie Told Me So

Notice anything different about my blog??!! I was lucky enough to win a giveaway from Franchesca at Small Bird Studio a few weeks ago that she hosted in memory of her beautiful daughter Jenna Belle. My prize was a complete blog makeover - all the bells and whistles!

I think the design captures me and Ish perfectly. It's a little him and a little me. I love it!

I highly suggest checking out Franchesca's blog, she does a great job of mixing design, fun giveaways and family life all in one spot - and if you're in the market for a new look for your blog, check out her portfolio.

Thank you Franchesca!

Partying with my fellow D-Listers!

If you're popping over from the D-Listed Blog Party 2010 - welcome! If not, you can click here and learn more about it.

This is my first blog party - I like it because I don't have to get a new outfit or actually brush my hair. All I have to do is tell you a little about myself and my blog - I can handle that!

I'm Gina, I'm somewhere in my 30s, married and living in the suburbs of NY with my husband Matt and my 19-month-old son Matthew (who we call Ish - hence the blog name). We called Matthew Ish from the beginning - before we even knew he was a boy. The nickname stuck even though we knew his name would be Matthew. I like to take pictures, I like to write and I like to write about the pictures I take - so blogging is a good fit for me.

I love meeting other bloggers - I'm always adding to my reading list! So, leave me a comment and let me know where I can find you.

Cheers! (People still say that at parties, right?).

Work Work Work

Every weekend it's the same thing "Clean the house, mow the lawn, clean the house, mow the lawn" - what more do they want from me??? That's it, another 18 years then I'm outta here!

Boy Joy

There are a lot of things I'm enjoying about having a little boy.

1. The clothes - how cute are boys clothes??!! The doggies, the frogs, the cars, the stripes - I LOVE shopping for him.
2. The curiosity - which gets the best of him sometimes. He's fearless (which I guess is a good and a bad thing). It oftentimes leads to trouble - especially when his curiosity has him climbing furniture or putting something yucky in his mouth.
3. The love of trucks - well, anything with wheels really. Even truck puzzle pieces fascinate this boy. His cars/trucks keep him occupied for hours at a time. He always seems to have a car in his hand at any given time. And he even insists on taking some to bed at night.
I love when he lines them up and leaves them for me as a gift.
Sometimes he hands them to me to hold on to while he heads off to watch Moose or play with something different. He expects me to hang on to them until he comes back for them.
4. Have I mentioned the love of trucks?
I could go on for days. He really is so much fun. I'm looking forward to the rest of the snips and snails and puppy dog tails that he has in store for me.

PS - another great thing about my boy, he likes to share. Here's 10 more Pampers Points for you: WELOVECHEERIOS2
