First Birthday Wish List

A lot of friends and family have been asking what to get AG for he first birthday, which is just over a week away! I've be so busy planning her party (and worrying about moving!) that I didn't think twice about what to get her for her birthday.  Honestly, she doesn't NEED anything.  She has so many toys and loads of books.  She's still in 6 month clothes, so she has tons she's never worn from my baby showers.  I promised my family I would send them some ideas, here is what I came up with.   Little Tikes Cozy Coupe I've heard this is a favorite first year ... read more

Big BIG News!

I'm been missing in action from my blog for a while now. Over the past two months, we have had a lot going on. There's been a lot of unknown, I felt like I was living life in limbo. But, the final word is in and there will be a lot of changes for our little family. They say everything is BIGGER in.....TEXAS!!! We are moving to San Antonio, Texas. I'd lie if I told you I was thrilled about this move. I may have cried myself to sleep more times than I can count. But, this is a big promotion for my husband. An opportunity that wouldn't have come up in Tampa for years. So I am ... read more

We can't wait for him to get home tonight! I can find any way to justify my Starbucks obsession =-) I still have some of these coffee ... read more

DIY Blog Design & A New Look!

I've been doing my own blog designs for almost a year now.  I was tired of spending so much money on my blog look, especially since I like to change things up frequently.  The first thing I did when I wanted to get started was head to Google.  I spent a good amount of time reading, researching and playing around.  I was able to figure it out and was surprised that it wasn't too difficult.   Today, I'm going to share with you the tutorials and sites I've used to create my blog design.   The two most helpful tutorials that I have used when it comes to blog ... read more

Another Weekend Down

Friday night hubs and I watched The Call. I actually really liked it. I didn't think I would from the previews but I was hooked. If you're looking for a good movie to watch, check it out.   Saturday was pretty low key. I worked for most of the morning and D was on daddy duty. Then at lunch time my parents came over. They helped us get a lot done with the house. We cleaned, moved things around and made a pile of things to donate. There is still a long list of things we want to get done. But after 5 hours of working I was happy with what we accomplished and thankful for my ... read more

Miscellany Monday

 Monday, Monday.  Usually I'm a big fan of Mondays.  It's the refresh button I look forward to pushing. Today, I'm totally thrown off. With the 4th being on Thursday, I felt like Friday was Monday. Especially because hubs had to go off to work on Friday. So today is off to a slow start. I've made my to do list for the week. I did some grocery shopping this morning for the next few days. I have enough orders to keep me up late every night this week. I have lots to do, yet I find myself watching Laguna Beach reruns, sipping my coffee, writing this post. Oh well, I'll get to my to ... read more
