October Goals Recap

These past 31 days have flown by.  I felt like it was yesterday when I posted my October goals. I have to say, I am pretty darn proud of how I did this month.  I definitely credit that to being able to stay home, somewhat predictable naps and a very chill baby. Another thing that helped me accomplish my goals was making daily to do lists and checking on my goals throughout the month.  This month, I cooked more than I have since before I was pregnant, made lots of new decorations for the house and spent a lot of time working on my little business.  This is exactly why I set ... read more

Friday Letters

  Dear Sweet Girl, Where do I start?  This week was amazing.  You are talking so much more and mimicking all of our facial expressions.  You met all of mommy's old coworkers yesterday and did great for the 3 hours we ended up being there.  I have to admit I loved showing you off and seeing everyone oooh and ahhh over you.  I'm a proud mama. My love for you grows each day, I don't think my heart could be more full. Dear Jax, You were super sweet with AG this week.  If she's crying you go to her until I get there.  I think your favorite time of the day is when she does tummy time ... read more

Product Review- Hana Elite Flat Iron

About a month ago Misikko send me the Hana Professional flat iron to review for my fabulous readers.  I always flat iron my hair after I dry it.  Sometimes I use it to just smooth everything out and other times I'm lazy blow drying it and need the iron to really straighten it.  I was excited to try this one from Hana Salon.   I've been using the Hana Professional flat iron now for about a month.  I will say that it's one of the best flat irons I've used before.  I've been using the Chi for years and to be honest they are viery similar in ... read more

Dear Weekend, Boy am I glad to see you. I'm ready for family time, girls night out, football, good food, craft fairs, shopping with mom and much more.

Bye Bye Baby Weight Month 2

Woops, it's been a little longer than I had planned.  Originally I was going to do baby weight loss updates every two weeks.  But, my weight posts kept getting pushed to the back burner.  I wasn't losing weight and honestly I wanted to lose more before I posted again.  That didn't happen.  After a week or two of not losing much, I decided to start taking measurements. I'm glad I did because that is where I really saw that Weight Watchers was working.  I may not be losing weight on the scale but I'm losing inches like crazy.  At the 6 week post pregnancy mark, ... read more

Can you believe we are now 70 days away from Christmas?   Time is flying and it will be here before we know it.  I'm SO excited...I want AG's first Christmas to be a special one we'll never forget.    I have lists made, planned crafts, gone through Pinterest boards, bought gifts and of course I've thought about Holiday Cards.   I've ordered mine from Shutterfly the past two years and plan on doing the same this year. They have the best customer service and the quality of their products can't be beat.    When I received an email that their 2012 cards ... read more

Miscellany Monday & Giveaway Winner

Half way through October?  Really!  I wish time would slow down, just a tad.  Especially over the weekends.  That's not too much to ask, is it?  Did you all have a good weekend?  Ours was good, kind of busy though.  I definitely look forward to Monday and our low key scheduled days after busy weekends.   First I want to start off by saying that today, October 15th is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day.  I'll be lighting 2 candles for my angels at 7pm tonight for an hour as a part of A Wave of Light.  I encourage you to light ... read more
