new blog…

Category: everyday | June 29th, 2012


some of you might remember when i mentioned how i wanted to change up the blog a bit. i feel like i am not living up to my “peace, love, & crafts” title….considering i don’t remember the last time i did a craft on here. haha. i want a new look…and also a new name, which i have finally come up with!! that took the longest time. i’m excited to share it with y’all soon. i want to get the new design set up first. sooo hopefully that won’t take too long. i’m going to simplify and do bigger photos! everyone loves big photos. ;) my URL won’t change (since it’s my name) so that’s nice. y’all won’t have to change anything either.

hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

the gentle zoo

Category: everyday | June 21st, 2012













back at home my mom took miss P and i to a little petting zoo called the gentle zoo. super cute and tiny place. it was a perfect size for us to enjoy the whole thing…from feeding/petting different animals to a tractor ride and a big sand box. P was scared of the turtles. lol. the big white bunny was her fav. and at times she preferred to play with the toys instead of petting the animals. ;)

watching:
i decided to give “how i met your mother” a shot. it actually took me quite a few episodes to finally get into it, but i didn’t give up. gotta love netflix ;) i was laughing so hard last night that i had tears.

thinking about: how much time i have had to spend at the car place to get my car serviced. (3 times in 2 weeks = 12 hours total) it’s pretty ridiculous. i won’t go in details but i am not too happy with this place. thank goodness it was all under warranty and i didn’t have to pay them anything.

loving: my sweet little family. and how the mister is working extra hard for us. i am very blessed.

anticipating: the little road trip miss P and i will be taking soon to visit my family. soooooooo excited.

listening to: P say mommy over and over again in her super cute high pitched voice. apparently she doesn’t like mama so mommy it is. :)

eating: i drove past a chipotle on the way home from the car place so clearly i had to stop. i haven’t had chipotle in forrrever. it was delish.

feeling thankful for: sweet friends who will come over last minute to watch miss P and play with her all day….and send me sweet pics like the one above!

the lovely to-do list

Category: everyday | May 17th, 2012

so do y’all ever have those days where you don’t finish everything on your to-do list?? yea…i’ve been having those days every day for quite some time now. it’s getting old. ha. it’s not that my list is overwhelming either. it’s just i simply don’t have the energy for those every day things. like laundry. thankfully the mister helped me “as a mother’s day gift” with all the 4 loads that were so nicely piled around our room. SO glad that is over with.

i’ll tell you what i have accomplished though (keeping positive right?). ;) i have caught up on all my shows and have slept throughout the nights (and during the days with miss P) like it’s my job. i used to only need 6ish hours of sleep and i’d be golden. but now…i’m pretty sure i sleep 10 hours every night. i’m not sure if i should be proud of that, but at least i’m doing what my body is telling me. ;)

i think i need to take another approach to my daily to-do list and just be happy that i get at least one thing done on it! i already did my one thing today so we’re doing good so far! so here’s to more productive days! hope y’alls are more productive than mine. :)

a birthday and a blog

Category: everyday | May 10th, 2012

the mister had a birthday last week. i tried to make it all about him. it was a little challenging considering he had to work/be on the phone/go to meetings all day…and i had miss P to chase around. but i think we did a good job. and to celebrate his day he decided to launch his new blog! i’m so excited for him because he has been wanting to do one for so long now. it’s a how to live life to the fullest/what’s your purpose/find your passion type thing. and i love it. and i love him. :) go check it out for some great inspiration too! oh and say hi! who doesn’t like to get comments from readers??  i will warn you…there are no pictures or bright colors. in fact he’s the exact opposite of me when it comes to style. hah. it’s still pretty awesome though. ;)

and here’s a little recap of parts of the day.



side note: he wakes up later than normal and isn’t very hungry so that’s why there’s no “happy birthday breakfast.” and i was probably too tired to make something. (story of my life right now) ;)





we went to a meeting with him at starbucks (his clients are pretty cool with us coming and trying not to be a distraction). all of the seats were pretty full inside so we chilled outside…which wasn’t the most fun for me since i had to chase her every 5 seconds since she wasn’t happy sitting still. and it was about 105 degrees outside. but she had a blast and that’s all that matters right? ;)

after he drank a weeks worth of calories in his drink (so just kidding), we went to barnes & noble for him to pick out some books….while i chilled in the car because P fell asleep. lol. we then went back home only to pack up some other stuff and got back on the road again to drop off P at the grandparents house so we could go to a “happy birthday movie date!” (thank you!!) i’m pretty sure that was the first movie we saw in theatre since P was born. saw the hunger games. it was intense but i liked it overall (and no i didn’t read the books. i’m not cool like that). i did take some photos there but they didn’t turn out so pretty so i’ll leave those out. ha

some might say this wasn’t a very exciting birthday but i mean it was a wednesday and he had to work. ha. i loved it. he did too. even though he probably didn’t get as much work done as he’d like. it was his birthday, come on. ;) don’t forget to check out his blog www.howuseful.com!
