Thursday Randoms

1. Day off. My husband took Friday off. That was a gift in itself. We spent the day cleaning, putting Christmas stuff away, and organizing this house that had been in shambles for weeks. It felt good. And then around 10am I heard some sizzling noises and smelt some deliciousness going on from downstairs. Come to find out, my husband was making a little breakfast for us. This was what was waiting for me when I came downstairs. Blessed.

 2. Like mother like daughter. For Christmas, my SIL got Elliana and I matching toms. I finally got around to taking a picture of this glorious thing, and I am so excited to strut in these once Elliana grows into them. I mean seriously, are they cute or are they cute? They're cute.

 3. New hair bows. Elliana got a few new hair bows for Christmas as well as from her Mama just because. So what do we do? Well we put them on in the morning... while she is in her pj's. And the great thing about it? She doesn't mind. Not one bit.

4. 7 foot daughter?. What? Isn't that the norm these days? Wouldn't you say so? Okay. So. The reason I say that is because Elliana's growth chart came in the mail... we finally came around the hanging it... and well.. it goes up to seven feet. Awesome. Now please tell me how many girls reach that height... and more so... how many girls still let you measure them after ... umm... like 5 feet? Serious question here.

It is cute though. I will give it that. Erin condren by the way. And on each line it gives someone "famous" that is that height.

5. Typical morning. This is us in the mornings. We have so much fun in bed. And I LOVE capturing it. I love Elli. She is such a joy. Such a happy baby, er, toddler, and I look forward to each and every morning with her.

6. Tomato soup. So I made it for the first time ever. I thought it was pretty good. Andrew did not. He was not digging it. Said it could have been "thicker." Mmmkay. Whatever. So, anyone know of any good homemade recipes?! Send them my way! Thank you in advance.

7. 1K follower giveaway. I have not forgotten. I totally did not think I would reach 1,000 until January so when it happened like {3 weeks ago} I was not prepared. That being said, I was too busy with the holidays and now that those are out of the way I can finally focus on this. It is coming, i promise. And it will be here soon!

8. Reviews. I also have a couple of reviews coming up. One is of a skirt that was sent to me by eshakiti. Yes. You heard that right. A skirt. Which means I will probably be doing one of those "out of the door posts." Yes? Ha. Contain yourselves, please. Actually it's scheduled for tomorrow. 8 am. Ya'll better come back and tell me how awesome my OOTD post it. Serioudly.

Another is of a salon blow dryer {valued at over 300 dollars} sold by misikko. Yessss.

9. Snow. It has snowed twice here, but nothing too exciting. Nothing that makes you want to get the sled out and go out for a good run. Not that I do that anyway. But really, it's just been freezing cold, and all I have wanted to do is hibernate, snuggle with the baby girl, and drink lots of hot chocolate.

10. Just because. I wanted to share this picture because it makes me laugh every time I look at it. Everything about it. From the long socks. To the remote in one hand and the tupperware in the mouth. And that look intently glued to the TV {I believe football was on}. Is this child a toddler or what? And check out that long hair.

11. 1111. I happened to be on the computer yesterday when I saw this happen. I am still amazed by the numbers.

12. Bed Hair. Elliana gets it bad. Really bad. This picture doesn't even do it justice. Just believe me. Also with hats. I mean, what are we in for when her hair gets really really long. Oy.

13. Christmas Shopping. Elliana and I went yesterday to snag up all the 75% off deals at Wal-Mart. And boy did we get a bunch of stuff. I bought Elliana {and her future brother/sister} 3 foot x-mas trees, tons of bows, some stockings, lots of ornaments, wrapping paper, garland, christmas tree toppers, chargers, and a whole bunch of other little things and spent only $50.00! Cart full and stuff on bottom. Yup. Now that my friends, is a great deal!

14. Go Away. Elliana's new thing that she says all.the.time is "goway." At first she always just said it to the dog {guess who she gets that from}. And now she has started saying it to us... and just about anything and everything that moves. Including other dogs out on the street. Take note of the picture below. Yes, her screaming and hooting ad a dog yelling "GOOOOOWAY." Lovely.

15. Bachelor. It has started again. I go crazy over these seasons. Not sure why.. because it is perhaps one of the silliest shows out there. But addicting nonetheless. So I watched with such anticipation... only to quickly sign onto the internet, type in reality steve, and get the end result. Usually it takes about 5-6 shows in before I do this, but I just couldn't wait this time. And yet again, I leave off saying, are you serious?! That is all I will say about that topic.

16. Clarisonic owner. That would be me. After reading so many amazing reviews about it, I bit the bullet and bought myself one of these pretties in turquoise here. And I am so freaking excited. I can't wait to try this bad boy out. Anyone own one of these? Anything to say about it? Thanks!
