A few months after Piper was born, Hubs and I took all 3 girls over to Fashion Island (a local outdoor mall for those not in OC). I remember it was a Friday, and I just wanted out.of.the.house. The easiest place to go let the girls run around was the Koi fish pound and we could inhale dinner from the food court. It doesn't sound glamorous, but when you've changed...
So where have I been the past couple of weeks??!!? Um walking around on my head (no seriously I have, MY HEAD. This silly broken toe has been the last straw on the camels back....and every time one of my Little Punks steps on it again....ugh). But bygones, because as we all know, Life goes one and the sun keeps rising and setting. However, it's times like these when I...
I'm not sure I can really call this a Wordless Wednesday, how about WORDY Wednesday....I mean I didn't EXACTLY take this photograph (does scanning into one's computer count???) But I just had to share it! This was inside of the recent Spanx package I opened...is this not HYSTERICAL! Can you imagine doing ANY of those things in Spanx??? Not thinking I'm jumping from a burning building anytime soon, but I...
Jen comes to us today from Tiny Oranges! This is a favorite local OC blog friend of mine. Jen is as busy as they come, yet always up for sharing a tip or trick. She is in fact so helpful, that she offered to write not one but THREE guest posts for my "Maternity Leave". I loved reading Jen's pregnancy posts as well as the first few posts after she...
OK, baby is here, I'm still at the hospital, but I can assure you that I'm DREAMING of, (longing, salivating, DYING) to get my pre-3-year-pregnant body back!!! I'm no fool, I know it will take some time (even if hubby is hoping it will be back by Monday...), but get it back I will! But I have a secret, (though not so secret when you publish it in a blog...
It was a crazy busy week again (What weeks aren't for moms?? Do any of you have a new found respect for your mom?? I sure do!) And I can't believe it's just over 4 weeks until the newest babe is here! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't make a showing any earlier!!! I love ya and can't wait to meet ya, but you just go ahead and stay nice and cozy...
A housekeeper 7 days a week, a chef and perfect swimsuit body a week after giving birth!!!! OK, just kidding.... JEWELRY!! I am not a fashion expert. I'm pretty good at getting you through a few years of pregnancy without having to buy that much, but regular fashion is not one of my SUPER strengths. However, accessories have been my friend for the past 3 years. As I lived in...
Gotcha with that one, huh!!? Well, I'm sure that I'm not telling you something you don't already know, but seriously, Hanky Panky's Original Signature Lace Thong are by far my favorite girlie undergarment (that sounds like I'm from "Little House and the Praire" days....) OK, I"ll say it, Favorite THONG! (Seriously, that was hard to type and not feel a little flush in the face.....). They are listed in the...
I hate carrying a diaper bag. I'm always on the look out for any other possible bag that I can carry that will do the same job, but lets me feel like I'm still pre-kids (even though I love 'em to pieces!!). A very smart girlfriend (who is always in the know on new and fun things - she brought us the Sally Hansen Nail Finisher, and the Bandera Clone...
I love finding things that make me feel good. I know this sounds lame, and trust me, I LOVE being a mom and I LOVE our darling Littles - but there are still more than a handful of times that I long to fit in my cute jeans from pre-pregnancy, or pop on that cute pair of heels that I know used to turn a few heads...but I just don't...
