miscellany monday

all the randomness of the weekend

My son and my bestie's daughter.

He loves her, she thinks he's silly.

She cries, he tries to feed her.

We think it's cute.

Saturday evening we tackled this corn maze:

That's right 10 acres of good ol' fashion fun!

We had a blast, I'll post pictures once my friend uploads them since I forgot my camera (facepalm)

If you are in the Central Florida area be sure to check the Brown's Farm Festival

That's all for now, we did have some amazing chili this weekend though... I'll post the recipe for yall tomorrow!

Oh Hi! Remember Me...

My poor neglected blog. I really need to find time to come back here, but for now here's a quick hello and some updated pictures of the little man who has stolen all of my time :)

Baby R,  7 months

(33 weeks old to be exact)

what i'm loving

Here's what I'm loving today...

I'm loving... that it's Easter weekend!

Luke 24:46-47 He said to them, "It is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that a change of hearts and lives and forgiveness of sins would be preached in his name to all nations, starting at Jerusalem.

I'm loving... bolthouse farms' vanilla chai tea, seriously amazing! I still can't believe I've just found out about this! (It's hiding near the orange juice in the produce dept in case you wanna try it)

I'm loving... this sweet boy more and more each day!

then it hits you

As I'm sitting here on the floor of my living room (which currently looks like a daycare with all the baby stuff spread out everywhere) I have realized we have a baby that's not just a baby anymore\ My little baby is now rolling everywhere, he thinks screeching is the funniest sound ever, he 'talks' to anyone that talks to him, puts everything (even his feet) in his mouth, and likes to have a death grip on his mama's hair. It's finally hit me... THEY GROW UP SO FAST, everyone always tells you life flies by when you have kids but it doesn't really mean anything until you're experiencing it for yourself.

So, today I wanted to remind you to take time to enjoy the little moments :)

TUESDAY:

TODAY:

Top 2 Tuesday

Top 2 Drinks 

(alcoholic or non)

I'm a southern girl all the way, nothing taste better than a glass of sweet tea on a hot summer spring day. If I'm not drinking my mother's homemade tea, Publix or Sonny's or even McCalister's Deli has some gosh darn good sweet tea.

My top favorite mixed drink is a Malibu Bay Breeze! I've been mixing pineapple juice, cranberry, and coconut rum for at least 5 years before my lovely bestie informed me it had a real name a few years ago, haha. Now I feel grown-up when I order it at a restaurant or bar.  

Head over to The Undomestic Momma and see what everyone else posted!

miscellany monday

[one] i'm not one to complain of heat but man on man was it so hot this past weekend and today (the high is 94), i'm dreading the temperatures in july. 

[two] ryan is 5 months old (as of yesterday). he's rolling over now and 'talking' all the time. so crazy how fast time has gone by, it feels like we just brought him home from the hospital.

[three] have you seen extreme couponing? the entire show the only thing going through my head was how do they use all their stockpile before it expires. i mean come on there's no way you could eat 100 bags of chips before they became stale.

1. Have you ever testified in court? For what?

I had to have a recorded testimony for a hit-and-run I witnessed when I was in college, it was kinda weird that the car that was hit was a mustang and two cars that witnessed that stayed to witness it were both mustangs too (one being mine). 

  

2. Do you still have your wedding dress?

n/a

3. Is there a special place you like to go when you're happy, sad, stressed, etc.?

the beach but if that's not possible my backyard, just laying out by the pool and relaxing always gets me in a good mood.

4. If you have kids, do they sleep with you? If you don't have kids...will you let your kids sleep with you when/if you have them?

well, he's only 4 months so most of the time after his early morning feeding he comes snuggles with me until we get up:)

5. Do you watch late night TV?

not super late night, usually my shows end by 11pm, haha.

Happy Friday people! Have a wonderful weekend!

im back!!!

Things have been hectic around here with BIG changes in our lives and sadly blogging has taken a back seat... but no worries these are all positive changes!

First off we moved!

We currently are back in my hometown and boy have things change around here but I love this little big town :) Plus my parents are here and many of my childhood friends have moved back to raise their families as well, so lots of buddies for R.

Also, I decided to leave the work world (for now) and be a full time mom! He's only a baby once and I can't imagine missing anything. Just today we had a giggle fest and lots of "woohoo"s were coming from Baby this afternoon.

With all these happenings I am pleased to announce that I will be back blogging on a daily basis!! I look forward to re-connecting with you guys, I really have missed you all.
