a few things that i LOVE...

1. my boys... of course

2. A newly found solution to showering dilemas. Usually I am able to shower at night or early in the morning before work. But on days that i'm home with Tatton I either have to wake up early before he does to shower, wait until he is napping or lock him up in the bathroom with me and hope he doesn't get into any trouble. My solution... I've put him in the shower with me. Possibly weird, maybe... but a fantastic solution, yes! He loves it. And it is multi-tasking, he gets clean too. He doesn't care at all that he's sitting on the floor getting water right into his face, he just laughs. It has been quite nice, but if any of you give it a try, might I warn you that your baby is much more slick than usual... almost dropped him yesterday.
3. Katie will appreciate this one... I actually forked out the money and bought real "professional" shampoo and conditioner. This was a big one, I am cheap. I never thought it was worth it to buy that stuff when the many various brands from WalMart seemed to be just fine for me. I was wrong. I bought Matrix Biolage smooth therapie and my hair has never been so soft and clean. I highly recommend it!

4. For some reason in my old age, my face is struggling. I used to have no problemo with acne but ever since I got knocked up, I break out so much more and easier it seems. I've watched those Bare Minerals infomercials and wanted to order it, but as you know i'm cheap. So I thought that I would first test it out by buying a cheaper imitation brand and see how it faired. I bought Maybelline's Mineral Power powder and things in that line to try out. I love it! Just the powder covers my face, evens it out and covers up acne spots really well. i don't have to wear foundation or concealer anymore so my face feels much more natural. And my face isn't as oily anymore and it's not breaking out as much as it did. So now I'm thinking after Challise and I discussed Bare Minerals since she has actually boughten it, I want to go for it and splurge for the real stuff. Either way, I think mineral anything is worth trying and probably works pretty well.

5. Very Sexy perfume from Victoria Secret. It smells so... well sexy. I love it. I walked into the bathroom at work one day and there was a girl in there who smelled so good. So I asked her what she was wearing and she informed me what it was. She told me that she gets a lot of compliments on it and people ask her all the time what it is. So I was glad I wasn't the only weirdo. Anywho, my sweet hubby surprised me with a bottle of it today. Now i get to smell Very Sexy!


6. The Backyardigans. For those of you with kids and have entered the world of "you get to watch kid shows now" this is a good one. It's the cutest little show. They dance and sing which doesn't sound that great since most shows do. But this one has the cutest, catchiest songs and Tatton will really stop and watch them. He dances when they do and gets excited at the beginning of the show. Anyway, it's cute. They are on Nick Jr. at 10am, 2pm and 6pm if you're interested. The dvd's and cd's are worth purchasing...


7. Aaron with his hat on backwards...

8. Tatton crawling. Well, that's not entirely true. Sometimes i wish he didn't because he is everywhere and into everything!!! But my favorite thing about him crawling is watching him just playing and then he'll look up at me and smile. He drops everything and crawls his way over to my lap while saying "ma" and climbs up for a hug. That's hard to beat...
