Nursery Checklist
Things are moving right along with this pregnancy. On Friday I will be 23 weeks, crazy! On Saturday, I'm going to register with my mom and best friend. D has a pass on this one. He and I went and picked out the big items together but us girls will take care of the rest. Even though things are getting done, I feel like there is so much I am behind on. We haven't started on her nursery yet. Hubs and my dad should be painting her room by the time you're reading this post. But since we're doing stripes, it's going to be a week long process. We ... read more
My Makeup Musts
Makeup and I have a love and hate relationship. I’m not that girl that has to have makeup on before I leave the house, especially if I’m just going to the grocery store. When I go out-out, I attempt to find different and cute ways to do my makeup. But it usually takes me long enough to find something cute to wear...let alone figure out how to do my makeup different. I will say I always have intentions of looking put together every time I leave the house, it just doesn’t happen. I am interested in makeup, I just am missing the creative talent behind it. I ... read more

Questions for Moms…
Okay, I have a few questions for you moms out there. I’ve done some research and looked on some message boards (which is completely over whelming!) but I decided there would be no better place to go then to ask my blogger friends. So.... Books: What books have you read that you feel were beneficial in helping you prepare for baby? I have the What to Expect While You’re Expecting. I’ve heard positive and negative about Baby Wise, but I want to form my own opinion of it. I’ve also heard good things about Happiest Baby on the Block. Classes: Did you go to baby ... read more

April Goals
There is so much going through my mind right now, it's hard to just pick 5 goals for the month. With the little one, vacations, the end of work and lots of birthdays this month...I don't know where to start. I'm hoping this month flies by and I know the keeping busy will definitely help. I think the goals I've chosen for the month are very doable with our insane schedule. We will see how it goes! 1. Figure out insurance. This is not a fun goal. But, it’s number one for a reason. I won’t be working next year. D and I have always agreed ... read more
