What a Mess!

Did ya’lls pantry throw up like mine did after you had a kid?  I think I need two more of these storage cabinets to handle all the snacks and food we consume these days.  I need some serious organizational skills a.s.a.p.  I am OCD so this is driving me nutso!

Terence and I are doing pretty good dieting this week.  Every night we’ve had a baked chicken breast and some veggies for dinner.  I have a light spinach salad for lunch.  I am starving by bedtime, but it will all be worth it right?  If I am just dying for a sweet snack I LOVE these Nature Valley granola thins.  They are soooo good!
Connor has been enjoying his fruit as well.  I found these adorable boxer briefs at The Childrens Place when I was visiting in AR.  My Mom bought them for him….they are so cute & make it harder to pull that diaper off!
I also got Connor a little fold up chair at Buy Buy Baby yesterday.  I love that place and am so addicted to it right now!  I like how you can use Bed Bath & Beyond coupons for your items as well.  I figured he could use this during the summer or on 4th of July out looking at fireworks.

I mentioned before I’ve gone back to Blondie.  It’s still not as light as I wanted it, but I’ll keep working on it.  I used this hair color last night and I liked the foam aspect of it, I don’t think the color was as deep as a normal hair dye is though???  Anyone else tried the foam?

 I did a side braid on my hair today
I feel 10 years old with a braid
oh….
And I got some Starbucks….they put some weird flavoring in it. Ewe.
Happy Hump Day!

Monday Fun Day!

While out and about this weekend I spotted these boots. 
Aren’t they just the CUTEST ever!
They have owls on them 🙂
They are really loud boots, but I would still rock these and wear them!
 I’m transitioning back to blonde hair and I am loving these colors and styles :
I wish I could get my hair to poof like this!
 And I love the long loose curls on this chick’s head….
 Connor coloring at the restaurant this weekend.

Terence found some “geezer glasses” like my Dad wears.  They are glasses you wear over your regular glasses.  It’s so funny I made him try them on 🙂

 This is my lunch today at work….bring it on skinny jeans!
I’m loving Lauren Conrad’s new beauty site : The Beauty Dept.
You can find lots of great tutorials on it.
TOMORROW is the last day to enter the Father/Son tie giveaway HERE!!!

Summer Summer Summer Time!

It’s been a hot one around these parts let me tell ya!  Yesterday we were out and of course I was wearing a silk shirt and had sweat dripping all down my back, that was attractive I am sure!  I end every sentence on this blog in an exclamation point.  I know this.  It’s because every sentence I am exclaiming something and I don’t have good grammar skillz okay? 

This weekend has been pretty chill, which doesn’t bother me one bit because I like to “just chill”.  We did the usual, park, grocery shop, watch some TV, and church.  Just enjoying the summer weather and spending time with the fam.   Of course I take my camera with me everywhere and I got some great pics at the park yesterday.  They should just embed the camera in my arm because I’m that attached to it.  So lil dude was really cooperative yesterday and let his sweaty Momma take some pictures 🙂
I think there should be a Baby GQ magazine & this could totally be the cover 😉
Every mother thinks their kid is cute don’t they?  Ha..ha..
 Playing with Dad
(I still don’t know what to get T for Father’s Day??? 
 Lord knows he won’t let me spend a solid nickel on him….so I haven’t a clue!)

 “I love these holey things Momma!”
 Have you EVER seen a squirrel lay like this??? 
This squirrel was very relaxed because I got two feet from him and he didnt’ budge!
 Swinging
“Watch out for flying droooooool”
Giggle….giggle….giggle…..
 One of Connor’s staples right now is grilled cheese
It’s seriously one of the only things he will eat.

 “Momma why you take so many pictures of me?”
 “Because I love you son and you are growing way too fast!”
“Okay, I’ll smile then :)”
 Our little flower bed makeover is thriving….
We started our healthy eating this weekend and so far we’ve both done well today!
Bring on the veggies and fruit….I’m ready to lose this muffin top!

Isn’t this beautiful and this time of year is the BEST time to go on a diet because there are so many fruits and veggies in season….so why not start now!

Happy Weekending Everyone!
Enjoy it because tomorrow is Monday……

Exhibit runs June 1 to Sept. 30, 2011

“The story of Genghis Khan the conqueror, the myth and the man is told through a stunning and highly interactive world-tour exhibition. Genghis Khan: The Exhibition follows the life of a poor, illiterate child as he becomes one of the world’s greatest conquerors and leaves a lasting imprint on modern-day culture. More than 200 artifacts including gold jewelry, weaponry, silk robes, currency, tomb treasures and more are displayed alongside video-screens, hands-on activity stations and role-playing kiosks to create an educational and historical experience for visitors of all ages.”

Genghis Khan: The Exhibition

  • Genghis Khan: The Exhibition features the largest collection of 13th century Mongolian artifacts ever assembled in a single showing.
  • The exhibition features the recently uncovered mummy and tomb treasures of a Mongolian noble woman, nicknamed The Princess Giant because of her unusual height.
  • The opening of Genghis Khan: The Exhibition marks the first time an exhibition of this scale has been on view at the Irving Arts Center and in the city of Irving.
  • Genghis Khan: The Exhibition was produced by “Dino” Don Lessem, with curatorial consultation by leading Genghis Khan scholars Dr. William Fitzhugh of the Smithsonian Institution and Dr. Morris Rossabi of Columbia University. Lessem is an author, long-time science journalist and president of Exhibits Rex, Inc. More than 10 museums and private collections are represented including the National Museum of Mongolian History, the National Library of Mongolian and the Military Museum of Mongolia.

Friday Brain Dump

My gal pal Amber came and ate lunch with me today because she’s a loser and gets off work at 11:00 on Fridays.  We went to Chimy’s and OMG their nacho bar is da bomb.  Afterwards we went to J. Rae’s for a cupcake…and I know I’ve been complaining a lot about how I feel like a lard butt these days….but I swear it was her idea….she’s the preggo and all!  Love you Amber.  For realz.

 I love that big ole cupcake on top of the roof don’t you?

 Also – At Chimy’s we sat right next to the Fort Worth Fire Dept.  Can you say HOT!!!

We don’t have much planned this weekend.  I honestly want to just chill out and relax with my family.  Maybe go running around a little bit.  Here’s my little dude at play…..

 He’s constantly on the move these days.  He busted his lip a few days ago and he’s constantly falling because he is still a bit wobbly.  I hope people don’t think we spank him like that because we DON’T!  He’s just a clumsy wumsy lil boy right now!

 Momma & Connor
I look kinda creepy 😛

Can we just talk about this dress on Kate Middleton for just a sec?  I mean come on!  This chick looks fabulous in everything you put on her!  It’s like she has a fairy god mother or something and she just waves and magic wand and “voila” = Kate Middleton.  Everything looks good on her bony little frame….dang it Kate you are putting the rest of us to shame 😛  You get the Prince Charming and a wardrobe the rest of us gals would kill for…..

*STARBUCKS DISCLAIMER*

I know several people have said something about my “Donate” button on the right hand side bar.  Yes- Starbucks is expensive.  I don’t have the money to buy one every.single.day.  It is my crack and I am addicted.  I’ve never tried to hide that fact.  I LOVE ME SOME STARBUCKS.  Everyone has crutches right?  My family knows this, my friends, and co-workers.  Honestly I get a lot of Starbucks gift cards and I’m very lucky!  I thought if Save Karyn can do it on her website and pay off all her credit card debt then why can’t I have a Starbucks donation fund for people to help me out too!  I am not rich, I work a full time job, and I don’t claim to have a lot of money…but I do like Starbucks….and Starbucks makes my days a little happier & if you do help a sista out then awesomeness!   🙂 

And just for kicks….here is Betty, my co-worker who loves Starbucks as well 🙂
Isn’t she the cutest?
She is Connor’s Momma’s work Grandma
Have a great weekend everyone!
