little man, not so little
I decided it was time to give Little Man a haircut! Although I hate having to trim his little locks, it was much needed! It's amazing what a simple haircut can do; one minute he's this little baby boy and then the next he is a little man boy!! I have trimmed his hair in the past here and there, but it has always been such a challenge to get him to sit still or keep his tiny chubby fingers away from the sharp blades. So pulled in all my go-to resources to ensure I could get a FULL haircut.

Bowl full of Skittles.
Double Check.
What is normally a 30 minute stress-ball battle, was a quick 10 minute snip snip!!

valentine blogging party
A few weeks back I joined in on a Valentine's swap being hosted be some of my favorite bloggers! I was so excited to find out who my swap buddy was, I actually jumped the gun and went shopping in excitement!
I was partnered with the BEAUTIFUL Shane from Whispering Sweet Nothings. Such a cute blog name right there! I am so glad we were paired together, I feel like we have some similar interests- Ice Cream & Chocolate... Oh how fun it would be to chat over a nice chocolate sundae!
I wont share what I sent her just in case she hasn't received or open hers yet, but I will share the goodies she sent me!

There was a CUTE little heart tin as well, but my daughter claimed it for herself! These earrings are so sweet! She actually has an Etsy shop full of beautiful jewelry she makes herselfWhispering Sweet Nothings Shop |
Shane sent me this cute little paper to be inserted into a frame that would double as a message board. What a cute idea!!
She also sent over some questions, so I thought I would answer a few of them here.
- Who has given you the best relationship advise, and what was it? I would have to say my mom. She is the one I go to when ever I am in need of advise for basically anything. It's hard to pick just one thing, but one of the best things she has told me is to Communicate. Communication is the key to any successful relationship. I can't say that I am the greatest at it, but over the years I have learned to speak my mind and from the heart. It has helped so much in many situations.
- Do you think romance is an important part of a couple's everyday life? If so, what is the best way to keep it alive? Well I think there are lots of things that keep the romance alive, but I wont get all 50 Shades on you! I think simple things like a kiss or holding hands keep that spark there. Not only those, but simple conversation. Asking how one's day was at dinner, laughing together at a funny story. Staying connected both physically and mentally are some key things to help keep things alive.
- Discuss a dream you would like to pursue together this year. For me, I would love to have more date nights. Get out together with out the kids, to help remind us of where it all started before we became parents. While it's always hard to leave the littles behind to enjoy ourselves, it's something we need to do on a regular basis. And not just for special occasions either, more just be cause dates.
Thank you to our wonderful hosts for putting this together!!

confession // i don't make my bed
Hopefully my Mother doesn't see this post!
She might be disappointed, all those years of sending us back to our room to to fix those sheets & straighten that pillow. Okay so she wasn't really that strict, she just wanted us to make our bed every morning, probably just like EVERY other mother out there.
Well Mom, cats out of the bag on this one... I don't make my bed EVERY morning!
WAIT! Before we call the 'Bed Making Police' I have a few reasons as to why I don't make it ALL the time...
- It's too hard to snuggle with the munckins when it's already made. Have you tried it? So uncomfortable right!?
- Climbing under the sheets is the best place to hide when playing hide-&-seek! If the bed is made, clearly everyone can see you on top of the tucked in sheets!
- The bundled up pile of sheets at the end of the bed make a great foot rest for when you are reading a book.
- And basically, it's just going to get unmade again when I go to bed, so what's the point in putting in all that effort...
Now while I do have reasons for not making my bed, I also have a few IMPORTANT reasons why I do make my bed when I do make it...
- If we are having a party/get together and I know there is going to be a handful of people, I will make my bed knowing that someone is going to need to use our bathroom when the guest bath is tied up!
- If I happen to be in CLEAN FREAK mode, an unmade bed just doesn't sit well with a SPOTLESS house.
- And the most IMPORTANT reason for making my bed when I do.... If I know my Mother will be over! Yep, can't let Mom see my bed a disaster! I can't ruin that "Perfect Child" image for her! {LOL}
And now the evidence!
So glad I got this off my chest!
UPDATE:
I hope everyone who reads this, gets that this is a complete joke!
Mom thought I was serious!
HAHA!

Monday, already!!
I had great intentions of having a great post for today... But I don't!
This weekend kicked my butt!
Going to be spending the day getting my house back in order, so I don't lose my mind.
And hopefully once that is accomplished I can have a FAB post for you tomorrow!
Thought I would share some Instagram from this weekend!
Hope you have a wonderful Monday!
