A Royal Affair

Okay since I love to tell you about everything going on... I really couldn't pass up telling you about

THE ROYAL WEDDING


they are quoting it the 
"Wedding of the Century"

Its one of the most talked about events for sure. I think over in Britain its just a big deal because of the Royal Family and the fact that one day this will be their Queen. Here in America... We don't have a Royal Family.. or anything close to that, and so we find the whole everyday girl becoming a princess a very intriguing event.  Mostly because from books and movies through out time we've always wanted to be a princess, we wanted to wear the dress, and we wanted the title. Its been our fairytale and in our dreams. I know I was always most intrigued by the story of Cinderella. You'll know it I'll one day read it to you.

She was a commoner who became princess. This is a story we all grew up too, and now we have our real life storybook princess story.

i don't think the Royal family let anyone down... and spared no expense on what I've heard was a million dollar affair... but anyway here are some photos...

My Simple Loves

I'm always a lover of many things. and right now... I'm keeping this so simple that it makes me super happy when I think about it. 

.::NEW LOVES::.

PINterest:


It keeps track of my "boards" and all the different projects/recipes/tutorials that I find online, then I "pin" them and I can keep track of them. I also can keep track of other people who post stuff I think I'll like. I find so many great things.


Like here I just searched and someone posted this awesome party idea! This would fit so perfect on what I'm planning for your 1st birthday. 

Baby Talk:

You are learning to talk... which is absolutely on of MY FAVORITE milestones you've hit. Just a few minutes ago you were talking like crazy, and Daddy and I kept saying 

Momma!!! then dad would say no Dadda!!
no MOMMA!!!!
no DADDA....

yes it does go on for awhile.... 

your favorite is BAABAA... hmm food yep not mommy or daddy 
:( 
hahaha its okay.... it will be MOMMA ;)

Miche Bags:

I love love love my new handbag


when I want a new one, I can just pop of the "cover" and replace it with a new "shell"
its the best thing since sliced pie.

Blurb:


A friend of mine made one of her blog and she showed it around... now I want one. Thanks Megan ;)

I know I neglect this blog so often, but I still have my ways of documenting all the milestones even when I forget. 

My daily accessories always include::

My Iphone
My Sony Cybershot Camera
My CalGoo App
My Facebook App

the ups and downs of a sick baby...

Yeah its 2:05 am...

and I'm WIDE awake....

you are trying to sleep off one of the worst colds you've had.

its been a lot of ups { crying/snifflings/cries/whines/and fusses...}

and a few downs {long long naps as you try your hardest to sleep this bugger off}

Its super sweet though. You were half asleep and playing with my hand, staring at me, and just super relaxed by the fact you are in mommy's arms. I have to say its the best feeling ever... but that doesn't last... You get super grumpy and "handsy" as I call it. You will grab my hair, my face, my nose, pull my hair, scratch my face, and just plain MEAN!

can't say that I haven't been the most patent of mothers, but who can help that right?? You feel pretty helpless when you can't do anything to help you along the way. If you feel anything like Mommy and Daddy feel... You are the new spokes rep for Vicks...

“The Nighttime, Sniffling, Sneezing, Coughing, Aching, Stuffy Head, Fever, So You Can Rest Medicine.”

So what I ask is this... How come they have a billion products for colds for us... but not a single thing for a little 6 month old?? 

I think by know we could come up with:
Infant halls...
Infant Nyquil...

because both of those are sure helping us!! 

or some other super safe alternative...

my super happy baby again.

Thanks drained supermom.

wonderful women and RAK's

So I'm a strong member of one amazing community of women...

they are digital scrapbookers!

and seriously they are the sweetest, best, and most supportive group of women out there.

If I ever have a problem, wanna randomly discuss things, or just wanna chit chat about whatever, its always the place I go. You end up making some of the closest connections with these women. So I figured I would share where I meet and hang out with people... then I want to share what some of them have done for me...

my 2 main homes are 

and some place I frequent for fun stuff and randomness is


now they are all centered around one of my largest passions...

Digital Scrapbooking

so now that I've shared that... I wanna show you some RAK [random acts of kindness] I've received from some amazingly talented women...

Product Reviews and tips

how to get that cranky baby to sleep...

we all fight it right??


Does this product really work? YES! I've actually was recommended this product through a group of fellow mommies who had similar sleep problems. If you have a "colic" baby, baby with acid reflux, or just a cranky night... the 5's are the perfect product for you.
Would you recommend it to a friend? YES! I've recommended this product to every mommy I know. I've gotten positive feedbacks from all mothers. Most of us still use some portion of the 5's system in our everyday lives. Emma for example still sleeps swaddled, uses a pacifier for sleeping, and loves her white noise.
Worth the price? it is, but you can get it for way less... FREE to be exact. here is what I did;

1. go to the public library
2. search for the book, dvd, and possible the soundtrack.
3. download a white noise app for some type of playing device. You can even find things on youtube as well.

Will you purchase from them again? YES! actually I'm looking to get the toddler version very soon.


they got all YES!!

hope you loved this review... more to come!
