Similac Formula Coupon

I have a Similac Formula Coupon that I have no need for.  

Is there anyone who could use this?  

The value is only $4 but I know when you are buying formula every bit helps!  

Please email if interested and I'd be happy to mail it to you!

After Picture?

Oh...I'm sorry.  Did you come here hoping to see the much needed after picture of my office?  Yeah, that SO did not happen! :)

Dan and I had a fun date to see "Leap Year" on Friday night.  It was cute movie if you haven't had the chance to see it!  It was great to get out with him, it's been awhile! 

Saturday I went to a local craft fair with my mom and then came home to spend most of the weekend in bed.  I've been having really really bad pains...almost to where I was deciding if I should go the emergency room but thank goodness for leftover c-section drugs.  I'm a lot better today but I still have a call into my doctor.  

I'm a little stressed out right now - maybe that's why I'm feeling yuck?  Don't start calling me asking if I'm okay...I'm fine.  I am just hating how some things that aren't that important to me are taking over what IS really important to me and it gets me all worked up.  I'm only one girl and I can only do so much, you know?  I need to follow my heart and take care of my family first and foremost.

So if the Cub Scout Blue and Gold dinner is not as fabulous as my daughter's 2nd and son's 5th birthday parties...you'll know why.

Finally Friday!!

Can you believe it's 4:30 a.m. and I CANNOT sleep!  I hate those nights when you mind just starts spinning and falling back to sleep is impossible.  Especially when you know there are no naps coming the next day!

 

This little guy cracks me up.  He is getting so big and has stopped creeping into my side of the bed every morning to "nuggle."  Which means Dan is no longer getting kicked in the back from 5-7 a.m.  But it still makes me a bit sad. 

Graham...I feel like he is always at school and I don't have any pictures of him anymore!  He is been testing a lot of his limits lately.  I love that he is getting older and more independent but at 7 we are still working how the right amount for him.   

 

LuLu is wanting to go "Bye-Bye" all day long.  She pretty much is packed up ready to go all the time.  Looks like we need to find her some Princess shades instead of her having to wear Greg's Thomas glasses!

 Little Miss Fat Lip - she got a little crazy at the boys "Dance Party in the Living Room Lounge" performance two nights ago.  BONK right into the ottoman and bit her lip.  Ouch!  My poor girl!  At least now I can tell her lip injections won't be a good look for her when she's older and have proof.

 

And this is what I am tackling today.  

I have had a bit of "poor me" this week feeling like my plate of "to do's" is WAY more than my fair share.  Looking at other people's blogs sometimes makes that worse when you see how most people tend to only show the perfect side of their lives (rooms, whatever.)  

So for today I am just going to pretend that most of you have live in maids and your children don't actually LIVE with you to make messes, but are actually away at boarding schools.  

This is the the sad reality of my office earlier this week. 

Let's cross our fingers for a good "after" picture this weekend. 

GIVEAWAY!!!

My cute college friend (well, lifelong friend but we met in college) Kathryn is having a friendship giveaway on her blog!  I knew I had to be her friend when I saw her sitting in my History class with her folder open hiding an InStyle magazine and she had a HUGE thing of Diet Coke.  Stop by and say hello and enter!   

Wonder who the lucky girl will be to win?

Good luck! 

Shhhh...

If you are really, really quiet you'll be able to hear it.

Do you hear it?  

It's the sound of every rug, every sheet, every towel and every.single.stitch.of.clothing CLEAN at my house.  

This glorious sound should last for about 15 more minutes or when I go to get my jammies on. Sigh.

Bird Birthday Sneak Peak!

 I decided to go with a bird theme for Lauren's birthday.  My amazingly talented friend, Natalie, made the invitations for me. I asked her the other night and they were ready by the next morning!   Didn't they turn out just precious?  I love them and it saved me a lot of stress and time.  Which makes me love them even more!

 

We went to Hobby Lobby this morning to pick up a few things for her party.  You'll have to wait and see what I have in mind for the flowers.  Normally I think these silk flowers are ugly but they will be adorable when I get done with them!  Just wait and see!

Thanks for all your cute ideas!

Birthday Decisions

February is my CRAZIEST month of the year.  I have Lauren's and Greg's birthday parties, my dad's birthday, a Valentines' Party with Dan's side of the family, class Valentine's parties, and now I am in charge of the Scout's Blue and Gold dinner.  Ta-DA!!

Greg has moved himself securely into the favorite child position by asking for the same exact pirate party Graham had (which means I already have all the decorations, I just need to make the cake!) 

But I am having trouble deciding on a theme for Lauren's (albiet very small) party.  I had one I was going to go with but I would rather save that for when she is older and has a "friend" party.

Anyone have any cute ideas?
