Let the festivities begin! Growing up we didn't really celebrate Halloween like the other neighborhood kids. We dressed up like cowboys/cowgirls and went to the church fall festival. While the festival was fun and safe I never really knew what it was like to go trick-or-treating or really dress up. On the other hand Joe grew up with hand made costumes by his mom and lots oftrick-or-treating. When we started dating he showed me how fun dressing up could really be.
Baby proofing is a process. It evolves over time. You always have to be one step ahead your little one.
You wouldn't think a little babe could cause so much destruction but you'd be surprised. Obviously baby proofing your home isn't just for the safety of your material items but it sure helps to have your record collection safely stowed. We've been in baby proofing mode for about a year. Once Jude started rolling around we quickly broke out the outlet covers. However, much to our surprise many of our baby proofing barricades were quickly by-passed and left us searching for better products. After alot of trial and error we finally learned that Safety 1st products are the way to go.
I know everyone has already blogged about this deal but I wanted to write about it because it's one of my favorites.
We love music in our house. Between or massive CD, Record and MP3 collection we probably have over 20,000 songs. You will always find U2, The National, Pulp, Morrissey, David Bowie, and Coldplay in our collection. But recently we've been listening to the new Mountain Goats album and the new Thad Cockrell album. Both live in NC and write songs based on the Bible yet they are very different in style and content.
The B Keeps Us Honest will be writing music reviews and possibly holding music giveaways in the future. We want your opinion on music to help guide our music review/giveaway venture.

So a few weeks ago I mentioned that I won a blog giveaway from Guessing All the Way. Well my personalized candy by Treasured Sweets arrived this week and I love it. I guess I never thought about making personalized candy for a special occasion but it's a great idea. Such a great idea that I am ordering several hundred candy bars from Treasured Sweet to help promote the launch of my mom's new accounting blog, Accounting Powered by Chocolate.
Yesterday Joe took a much needed half day from work and we went to the NC State Fair. The weather was perfect, warm but not too warm. We saw cows and rabbits both of whom Jude thought were dogs and he barked at them. Then we met up with some friend who have an adorable little girl just a few months younger than Jude. Adeline and Jude had fun talking to each other but we never figure out what was so funny.
Coming Soon to The B Keeps Us Honest...

I've been a little preoccupied lately trying to develop my new blog, The B Keeps Us Honest. I feel like We3Liebs was becoming a jumbled mess with no clear direction. So that's what led me to start this new blog which will feature all my product reviews, giveaways, coupon deals and freebies.
Every night we read to Jude before bed. It helps him to calm down and acts as a sign that it's time to go to sleep. He loves being read to anytime of day but when he's tired sometimes he'll grab a book and head to his room. So Cute!
A week ago we added a new book to our bedtime routine, Sleepy Sun by Mari Hanson. It's a great little paperback book with colorful artwork filling the entire page. I was pleasantly surprised when the copy I received was signed by the author and even included a personalized message to my son. Thank you Mari!
When I first showed Jude the book he took it and started to head upstairs as if he knew it was a bedtime book. Later that night as we read it before bed he intensely studied the vibrant pictures and wanted to help turn the pages. One of the key strengths of this book is most certainly the beautiful acrylic paintings done by Illustrator Kathleen M. Hanson. The art is very unique and slightly abstract which encourages creativity. While the overall concept of a bedtime book isn't new this story is very fun and sweet. The story follows the sun on a busy day shining light around the world and ends with the sun going to sleep. (We'll deal with the physics of the Earth rotating around the Sun later but for now thanks Sun for setting a great example and going to bed.) The first few times I read the book I had trouble catching on to the rhyme scheme but eventually I got the hang of it and now it's an easy read. I would love it if the book were available in a board book since my son loves to flip through the pages himself but hasn't quite mastered turning paper pages without ripping them. I guess this is a good opportunity to teach him to be gentle. Sleepy Sun is quickly becoming a bedtime classic in our home.
Would I recommend Sleepy Sun? Certainly! It is a must have bedtime book for children of any age. You can learn more about Mari Hanson and The Sleepy Sun on her website. The Sleepy Sun can be purchased for $14.99 on Amazon.com or at MariHanson.com.
