It is so much fun for us to watch you grow and learn each day.  Your face lights up when you see something new.  You’ve taught us love in a way we would have never known without you.

I pray you grow to be a Godly man, a strong man, a kind hearted & smart man….but most of all I want you to grow to love the Lord and know His love for you as well.

We know you are a special gift.  I prayed before you were born that God would give me a special child.  I told God that I would do the best I can to raise you right….because you are not my child you are His…..

Oh what a blessing your life has been the past two years.  We could not imagine our lives without you in it.  You are an incredible soul my sweet Connor and we pray for guidance and protection, that you would know how loved you are each day, and how proud we are of you!  WE LOVE YOU!!!!

I finished the birthday banner…

We are having his party on St. Patricks day.  What a better day to have a “Starbucks” green party eh?


Everyone wear your green so you don’t get pinched!  I can’t believe in a few weeks my baby boo will be TWO!  I am having a breakdown….sigh.


I should have done the whole banner in the glitter paper that the #2 is in.  But at $2 a sheet that would have been to pricey.  So I printed out the green letters and added some glitter on top.  Do you think it still looks okay?

Favorite products of the week are:

1.  Smashbox eyeliner palette

Connor’s new sheets from Zulily that I got for less than $15 bucks! So cute!
They are from a company called Olive Kids

OMG ya’ll.  This drink works!  It’s called Urban Detox by Function and it literally is like a colon cleanse.  Next time I find these in the store I am stocking up because they are always sold out.  And bonus = it tastes awesome!

 And last, but not least, I give you the progression of a hungry child :

The other day I got Connor a sucker at the drugstore.  It was bunny teeth.  The thing was so big he could hardly fit it in his mouth, but he sure did enjoy it!

Lots of Starbucks this week…I am working late today.  I want to get “sort of” caught up before I leave on vacation….so excited and prepare for picture overload when we get back because you know I am snap happy 🙂

If you haven’t tried these gems you need to ASAP!  Bumpy Nerds have returned, but ever since I found this one bag I haven’t been able to find another one so news must be out that these bumpy babies are back in stock…..

Last weekend we went to REI.  Terence loves that store and they were having a major clearance going on their winter stuff.  We got Connor the blue vest on the left for less than $5 & the down filled vest on the right for around $13!  Score!  (Lets hope they fit next year too)

 I saw this ferris wheel for your Easter eggs at JoAnns the other day.  Is this not the cutest thing ever???

And last, but not least….my favorite tea ever!  Teavana makes the most awesome teas & they can also make you a tea in the store.  Hot or iced.  I got some sort of mango wellness tea and it was divine!  Definitely going back soon.
