Dear Summer, please come. please!!

Love Day

Happy Valentines Day ya'LL.

(i secretly wish i was southern)

 

Husband and I aren't huge on Valentines Day. The way we see it is, if we have to have a special day to show each other our love and appreciation for each other than we aren't doing something right! In my opinion it should be a daily thing. An I love you is so quickly taken for granted, your loved one could be taken at any moment so reach out to those you love most and tell them how much you love them on a daily basis!

Today I have lots planned with my little dude. Each holidays means so much more and is so much more special now that I have another person to celebrate with! I am one lucky mama! First we are off to The Little Gym here in SLC to try out a mommy and me class! I have high hopes for this and have looked forward to it all week! Hoping to make it a weekly thing! We may stop by a few places to see some of our favorite gals and than we will deliver Valentines to Krew's cousins!! His Aunt Lexi and I spent last Saturday making suckers! We found the idea .here.

 

 

 

I hope everyone has a good day today single or not you have someone whom you love and that loves you!!!

XOXOX

 

3 month Necessities

I love seeing other moms posting their idea of necessities and it helps me get an idea on what is up and coming for the next months with baby Krew so I figured I could do one and hopefully help some of you mamas out that are coming up on the dreaded 3 month mark. I say dreaded because all of a sudden my baby woke up and he was an infant. No more newborn. Just the other day I packed away all of his preemie and newborn clothes and husband put it away in the shed until our next little boy. (if God so grants) Feel free to email or comment me if you have any questions. I am no "baby expert" by any means but this is what has helped us get through the past month!
(left to right)

1. Fisher Price Rock n Play Sleeper
This is really nice because it is so portable so we can take it from Grandmas next door to the babysitters than back to Grandmas plus Krew loves that he can lie down and still be able to see everything! He must be in on all the action 24/7!
You can find it .HERE.

2. Adidas Baby Walker Shoes
These baby Adidas are the cutest freaking things ever. I actually got them at Nordstrom but you can also find them .HERE. They keep Krew's feet warm and they match with a lot of his clothes! Plus the velcro totally helps!

3. Fisher Price Whale-of-a-Tub
Little Krew seriously loves tubby time! He splashes around everywhere and I think it generally helps him to just relax at night. He likes to soak in the warm water! This tub is perfect and easy to set him in! .HERE.

4. Avent Natural Bottle
We switched from the Dr. Browns kind after Krew needed the next size up! These seem to do the job on cutting back the air in take for him. They are a bit pricey but isn't all baby stuff? You can find them .HERE.

5. Carters button up front pajamas
I love the pjs that button or zip up the front directly from one leg! They are so easy for middle of the night diaper changes when you are so flippin' tired you wished you had the money for a night nanny! Anyways, you can find them .HERE.

6. Vulli's Sophie the Giraffe
Not only is she cute but Krew LOVES her. Well so does our dog sometimes she gets mistaken for a dog toy! Oops! You can find her .HERE.

7. O'Ball Rattle
This ball. He loves it! It's so easy for him to grasp and he also likes to kick it around in his chair I would recommend getting one with rattles. He likes to make the sounds!
.HERE.

8. My Little SnugaBunny Swing
We actually had the Mamamroo for starters but Krew hated it. I don't know what he hated about it he just wouldn't sleep in it .ever. So we bought this swing for him instead and he takes most of his naps in it and sometimes just chills out in it for a half hour or so at a time!
You can find it .HERE.


I know a lot of gals that are first time mamas or have a bun still cookin'! I hope this helps you as blogs like this have helped me out a TON. I say try everything once, you will quickly learn what your baby does and doesn't like. & remember you are doing the very best you can with your little one! That makes you such an awesome mama! Keep it up!!

XOXO

Le Weekend

Hello Monday. ::sigh:: Hello bloggieters! Goodbye snow.

I am so sad the weekend is over and that it is Monday once again, sometimes life can seem like someone turned the repeat button on! Also, I think I am dealing with a little bit of seasonal depression. It is so dang cold here in SL and it seems like every other morning I wake up to a little bit more snow. I am so over it, my dad is sick and Krew has a stuffy nose. I swear in the Winter time it is always something needless to say I am ready for Summer! Here is a recap on our short weekend:

Linking up with http://www.samisshenanigans.com/ for the Weekend Update!

11. The pillow I sleep with is like 10 yrs old. It's a comfort thing. (kinda, gross. eh)

 

 

 

Eleven questions Kallee asked me:

 1. What's the most unusual thing about you?

I like to laugh at my own jokes. Okay, I LOVE to laugh at my own jokes. Sometimes, if they aren't funny I will laugh even harder to try to get the person to laugh with me. Err...

 

2. What food could they not pay you enough to eat?

I am going to go say Tofo. Just the name makes me queasy!

 

3. If you could have any job in the world what would it be?

Honestly I would love to be an OBGYN just to deliver all of the sweet babies in the world!

 

4. Is there anything you cannot say "NO" to?

Does Krew count? He can't even talk yet and it seems I cannot get a grip on myself with him!

 

5. Has any book or movie made an impact on you?

I can't say yes, but I can't say no. I am sure there has been a movie/part/quote that has made a bit of an impact on me but nothing worth noting.

 

6. What is the most annoying thing that someone could do to you?

I think the most annoying thing someone could do to me would be to talk badly about me behind my back. I am the upfront type a girl so you have something to say please say it to my face!

 

7. Have you ever had your heart broken?

Yep, BIG time. My best friend from pre-school to about 11th grade broke my heart into pieces right as my Grandmother was dying. Yeah, it was the best time of my life. I wasn't ready for a serious thing with him yet so he said F you B and fled after 17+ yrs!

 

8. What do you look for in a guy/girl?

Honestly, humor and honesty. Someone who can make me laugh but be extremely blunt and honest with me. Hence, my husband!

 

9. What was your most embarrassing moment?

Seriously? I can't name just one. Recently I slipped on the ice at work and face planted in front of ALL of our salesmen. Yeah, that was pretty embarrassing!

 

10. What is the weirdest thing about you?

Me? Weird? Well... I sometimes like to see how far I can push the envelope to see how uncomfortable I can get someone to feel. I have some pretty awesome stories!!

 

 

My eleven for my bloggy friends:

My life as of instalate

Seriously, If I am not the biggest instawhore I don't know who is! I love posting pictures of my little man, and you are just THAT lucky that I will share them with you on this foggy morning here in SLC. I am sipping chugging a TRIPLE shot iced white mocha enjoying all of my blessings from God! Here are some pictures from our crazy 3 day weekend:

(left to right)

 

1. It was finally above 30 degrees here in SLC last Thursday so Krew and I ventured out with our puppy dogs for about an hour. It was fun, he finally met the sun!

2. Yesterday I took the day off with hubbs (3 day weekend whoohoo!) and we shopped for Krews Easter pictures and started his basket! If you know ME you know I am CRAZY for Easter!

3. My little hardcore thug in his Run DMC shirt. Seriously, can't resist buying him clothes, he doesn't need them. I need to rehab.

4. Oh, that pretty lady. That's my bestie and we had a killer fun weekend! I am so thankful to have such an awesome friend who always has my back.

5. Little dude in his sunnies rockin' the shit out of them of course. Just like his mama. Oh, and Sophie. He loves her.

6. That's me with my new tattoo on Superbowl Sunday. I got it on Friday it reads Krew Arthur which is of course that one little soul who turned my whole life around and makes every morning so much more whorthwhile. Also, can this kid rock a bowtie anymore than he already does?
