Life Lately.

8.16.12

-Purchased a day bed for miss priss. Big girl remodel in the making. Hopefully this will convince Elliana that her room is all sorts of fun, and sleeping in an actual bed is what all the cool kids are doing. Why? Because ever since we got back from vacation, she has decided that she will only sleep on the floor, on ten million pillows, with me next to her, in our room.  Yes, I am making her room fabulous. 

-Speaking of remodel. We are still in the "remodel" stages of our master. The bedroom part is mainly done with the exception of crown molding and some "art pieces." And a chair. And.. okay, never mind, not almost done. And the bathroom? Definitely in the making. I'm ordering a few pieces soon and will be having a big reveal once we finish. I'm thinking of getting this thing below {see image below} for over the toilet. I guess, this thing, has an official name... but the point is, anyone have experience with one of these? Loved it? Hated it? I need something.

-Gender reveal! On the off chance that you live under a rock {or the complete opposite}...I announced the sex of the baby earlier this week! It's a boy... in case you couldn't tell :)

-Thinking of doing a blog sale with all of Elliana's junk I mean stuff, I mean a gazillion amounts of clothes. What do you friends think? A go? The only downfall is that I actually have to take pictures of this stuff... load them on my computer... and figure out all the details. That requires time. Time which is not on my side.

-Link up next Monday. Did you see my announcement on the "Show & Tell" link-up? If not, click here for more info. I am testing the waters here... hopefully you guys like the idea and will join in! Also there is an incentive to win $50.00 Erin Condren gift card!

-Made my first boy purchase at Macy's the other night! It was glorious. They were having a huge sale, all rompers 2.99 + 20% off AND free shipping! Needless to say I grabbed lots of goodies for the baby boy for next summer. Including these cute things.

-I had a big blog milestone yesterday where I officially reached 2,000 GFC followers. I am just so amazed every day by this blogging community and continue be inspired to continue on. So as a thank you, I am putting together a giveaway on the blog! I can't wait to share.

-Vacation pictures and updates to come. I am working out those details now. Boy does this require some time... seeing as how I took SO many! Apologies in advance. And couple pictures as a form of I'm sorry for taking so long.

-Okay guys lets talk Life Insurance!....Hold on. Listen to me carefully. When I met the Roses while I was on vacation I was totally intrigued by this amazing couple and was introduced to the "Life Insurance Movement" that Mandy's husband Jeff is doing on his financial blog. He is looking for mama bloggers to join in! And as an incentive... there is a large giveaway including an ipad, $100.00 amazon gift card, and more! Go here to read the details and join in on Wednesday, August 22nd. It's as easy as making a blog post or vlog. And I think Life Insurance is SO important. I'll write about our take on this on Wednesday :)

-A cute video of Elliana and her puppy dog. Too cute for me not to share.

-I'm going to try to squeeze in a bump attack post tomorrow. I know I am a couple weeks late and its much needed, but a warning, it will probably be on the later side... if not maybe on Saturday. But it will be there. Tomorrow morning will be a sponsor highlight in a cute new way that I am testing out, be sure to come back to take a look :)

I apologize for the over-abundance of smiley faces. It's been a great week. ::smiley face::
