2014 will be AWESOME!

  It's New Year's Eve! Time for Resolutions! Ha! No resolutions here, instead I am just going to post my goals for this year. Yeah that might sound like the same thing but for some reason I achieve goals but always fail at resolutions, so Goals it is! Goal One Lose twenty pounds by Kyra's first birthday. That is roughly the baby weight that I put on when I got pregnant and I have yet to...

I know some people are going to be super...

Christmas Crazy

Today I am going to share a little story with you about how the holidays have clearly made me insane. Let's just dive right in shall we? It's Wednesday afternoon and my husband has come home early from work so that we can get the last of the gifts we need for Christmas. We load up Kyra and head out into the oh so wonderful world of retail. Right off I know this trip isn't going to be a fun one....

Oh my goodness I am not doing well with blogging this month! There has been a lot of life getting in the way of things getting up here but right now Miss Kyra is happily sitting in her high chair eating some cereal and looking out the window so I have a few moments to post up here today! So what has been going on? Around here we are trying to get Christmas under way. Lots of shopping these past...

Now we are 6 Months!

Good Morning all, Today Kyra is six months old. I can hardly believe that she is six months away from being one year old. The time has gone so fast but it has been so amazing! Here are Kyra's six month old updates! 1) Still in love with ceiling fans and now equally in love with my parent's faux fireplace heater. She loves the bright colors of the flames. I foresee a lot of telling her "No! Hot!"...

Foods we do not...

Tag It Tuesday

Good Morning all, So today I thought I would do a little tag that has been running around the blog/vlog world. It's the "FIRST" tag! Just a random list of "First" questions to be answered. Feel free to join in the fun! What was your first job? My very first job was when I was 16 and I worked as a Page at the Library. I LOVED IT.

ZUMBA!

Good Morning Blog Friends, So last night I went to my very first Zumba class!   I've done Zumba before just at home with a DVD or with the video game version, but never in a class before. I had always wanted to try it and after seeing one of my oldest friends post about how much she loved her class I invited myself along for the next class just to see what the whole thing was about! So last...

It's that kinda day...

Do you ever feel like you just have so much to do that you just want to crawl right back into bed? Seriously that is how I feel this morning. You just know the day isn't going to go well when you walk the dogs because they are whining, spend half an hour outside in the cold waiting for them to go and finally give up because, you know you have a child waiting on you in the house. Get inside and...

Now We are Five Months!

I realized that I haven't blogged in a very long time. It has just been really busy around here and I haven't gotten the chance. In addition to that is that I started up NaNoWriMo at the beginning of the month so my word count has been going to that instead of the blog! However it is time for the monthly update on Miss Kyra! Little Miss was "Boo" on Halloween! Baby's First Halloween! 5 Months...

What's Up Wednesday?

Morning all, Been MIA this week since Kyra's sleeping schedule has been really off. I think it is teething combined with the normal 4 month old sleep regression that most babies go through. Either way it has made for some long nights and early mornings. However she is out right now and has been for about an hour so I am just going to let her rest and keep quiet. Thankfully blogging is not something...

The post that did not happen

Happy October first! So I had wanted to do a sort of "Favorite Things" post today but I just did not have the time to get all the elements together. I am working on it but it is for sure not ready for posting yet! I am still torn as to whether it would be better as a vlog but for now it looks like it is going to just be a post. I sort of wanted to do a "Haul" post as well. Just random things that...
