Thursday Randoms, Donate, and Deal Alert

1. Sweet shades. I got Elliana a few pairs of sunglasses for Christmas and she had the opportunity to sport one of these last week when we went out to the park. Then, she proceeded to wear it around the house. Furthermore, in the tub. I think they suit her well.
2. Park Day. Here are a couple pics I snapped with my phone at the park last week. It was such a beautiful day out, we spent 2.5 hours there. I have an additional post to go with those pictures I posted earlier this week. Some thoughts on this day. It is scheduled to post next week. You won't want to miss.
3.Lunch Time. My baby girl always has the biggest smile on her face. Always very mischievous. And always up to no good. She's all about having fun. And this smile? As much as I try to stand my ground... it melts me to the core. Each. And every time.
4. Tomato soup take two. I tried it again this week. This time used crushed tomatoes. I think overall it was a success. Even Elliana ate it as well this time. For some reason though, tomato soup really fills me up. I can never actually eat a full bowl.
5. Too many pictures. Is it possible to take too many? I have had my i-phone for 9 months now and have taken over 5,000 pictures on my phone. I got an error message the other day saying that I was at my max. Now, I've been downloading them on the computer. Correction, they are downloaded on the computer. But I just can't stand to delete them off my phone.

6. Big girl. Someone please tell me how it's possible that my little itty bitty 6 pound baby grew up into this toddler? Who lays on the ground with pillows throwing them everywhere. I mean seriously.
7. Book lover. E is obsessed. She could read all day and night long, and I do't mind it one bit. The other day all she wanted to do was read in the morning... so this is us... bright and early... reading. It was fun.
8. Yummy dinner. I made one last week, delicious. Pork chops. Baked potato. Bread. And cucumber, onion, tomato salad. Even wine to go with. It was tasty. And fun to try something new.
9. Cravings. Non-pregnancy related. But if I am up late at night, sometimes I get random cravings... and usually it consists of colorful doughnut shaped cereal. Fruit loops. Yum yum yum. Want to know a fun fact? I ate a bowl every morning while I was pregnant with E.
10. Daily groceries. Anyone else out there as crazy as I am and find yourself at the grocery story on a daily basis? No? Because we do. All the time. Mainly because I cook dinner every night and there is almost always something that I have forgotten or run out of. So off we go. And E? Well she basically knows everyone by now. And she gives me this look when we pull in... like... seriously, mama? Again?
11. I love this shirt. That is all.
12. Every morning. This is how Elliana hangs out with us on the weekends. We start the mornings off with Baby Einstein and lots and lots of snuggles. And I love this picture most because it has my 2 most favorite people in it. I melt.
13. Drinking and driving.. That would be my daughter. Explanation? Sure. So the other night I was making dinner. Elliana had her sippy cup of water in hand. 5 minutes later, I am giving her a snack and realize I don't know where her sippy cup is. So I go hunting. Under the couch. In the bathroom. Laundry room. Every corner. Every nook. I am down on all 4's. At this point, I get super super frustrated. I hate not knowing where something is. I am like a surgeon. All sippy cups must be accounted for. So finally, 30 minutes later... I see her car sitting there, and immediately lift the lid to find the hidden treasure. I guess she feels as though she will need it when she drives.
 14. Twirling and baby einstein. This is one of the ways that Elliana watches her favorite show. And it's the cutest thing ever. Twirling of the hair... sitting on her knees... and so in the zone.
15. Table for More. One of my favorite girls is this close to 500 followers. If you don't read her already, go check her out! Mama to 2 boys and another on the way! That would make it 3 under 3?! Eek! And she's my age. Love her.

16. Donate for DS. I am sure you all read Kelle Hampton. One of the most amazing moms out there with the most beautiful birth story I have ever read. Her posts often times bring me to tears. Her daughter Nella, who was born with a special extra chromosome, is turning 2 and she is hoping to reach 200,000 in donations to NDDS. You can visit her blog here to find out more and here to go donate! A little goes a long way.

  1. Just some randoms... my iphone has about 1k pics & whenever I bitch about it being too slow for me, my husband givs me crap about having to much ish clogging up the system. No doubt I will show him your phone count today & follow it up with a fat , "Take that!" The grocery store...ugggh!! I feel like its my second home for the exact same reason, I ALWAYS forget something. And I've picked up this nice little habit over the past couple weeks of forgetting stuff I actually paid for. Yep, 4 trips in a row I have left a random bag at the checkout. Isn't that what those nice bag boys/girls get paid to do: make sure my stuff gets bagged!!

    Super cute pictures of your little. The smile is adorable!

  4. I crave cereal all the time. It's all I want at night. If hubby wasn't home it's probably the only thing I would eat for dinner. I was so excited about Mud Pie on Zulily yesterday, but all the stuff was 0-6 months, I was so annoyed!

  5. I'm awful when it comes to iPhone photos... I delete duplicates and anything I email or post to Facebook bc I know they are around out there "somewhere".. lately I've been better about just saving them, but I was always worried about reaching a max! Glad to know I have a ways to go, haha :)

  6. Loved this post! When I read the michevious little one all I could think about was that picture you posted of Elli yesterday on your canvas print.

    Also hooray for baby sunglasses - they are the cutest.

  9. I ate corn pops like they were never going to sell them again while I was pregnant. Something about that sugary cereal I guess? mmmmmm. I grocery shop way too often as well. Or, I should. But sometimes it turns into "ohhh we don't have ___, I think I need to go order pizza" ;)

  13. Love when you post the deals! I'm too lazy/busy to keep an eye out for all of them myself. I bought two of the personalized books but I think you already got a $5 credit when I joined so you didn't get anything out of it :(
    Love the drinking and driving story, it's too funny!

    3.I can't bring myself to delete any photos off my phone either. In fact, my husband made fun of me the other day for having over 1000. You make me feel better. :)
    4. I go to the grocery store entirely too many times a week as well.
