A pep talk.

So I am running a bit behind with everything I wanted to do, because everything I have wanted to do was on my laptop. My laptop has been smashed. We can thank the newly two year old for that. Destructive tendencies are perfectly normal for a 2 year old, so I guess my kid is normal- however that also means my laptop is dead. It took him all of 2.5 seconds. I still have some great posts coming up for you- including the awesome birthday party, what I like to call our fun bag, more organizational tips going through my home binder, more reviews (and giveaways) diaper and "crunchy mom" related for sure, and some fun 'Fashion Friday" posts gearing up for the Spring Fashionista event! Yay! In the meantime, I needed a pep talk, and I thought maybe some of you could too, so here's kid president with a much needed pep talk for all of us. Enjoy! P.S. Leave a comment with something you would like to see coming up on the blog!

Ba-na-na

So there are a ton of banana's in my house. C could eat them all day every day. So these things have been going around the internet, and I just had to share them with you. I know we can all use a laugh. Don't miss the images on these reviews, number 33 had me cracking up. The reviews are great too. Anytime you need a laugh, just go here: Bananana
  
The next thing is this super cute video, that my little dude is loving too....

The Jeans

My jeans died today. They were the perfect pair of jeans, grey skinny cut, and they didn't make me look like a beached whale or like I stuffed too much meat in a sausage casing. I will truly miss them. I sent this email in mourning:

Dear Old Navy,

I regret to inform you the time has come to say farewell. We all know it happens, and most of us don’t expect it. Today was that day for me, and I must tell you- I was devastated. It is was the end of my favorite jeans. The first stage is denial, and it is true, when the zipper seized at the half way mark- I couldn’t believe it. There I was alone, thinking to myself “No no this isn’t happening, it’s not really stuck, there must be some other problem.” I yanked I pulled, and nothing happened. Then the second stage came in a rush “Come on you stupid pants, move your stupid zipper or else!” Realizing threats weren’t working I went on to the third stage of bargaining, “Please move, please, I swear I’ll give you a day off more often, I will wear you with that shirt you like, please please just move!!!” Then there was depression, which I must admit there is still a twinge of this. Finally acceptance came, when I realized there is nothing I can do, my favorite jeans that fit just right, in the perfect color, are gone. They are no more. Now I just have to live with the fact that my jeans are no more, the perfect pair of pants is gone, you made them and I thank you, and now we mourn then search for a new pair- hopefully we can find them together.

Wordless Wednesday - Hawaii

Last weekend was turkey, now my trip to Hawaii, this was our first Anniversary.

Indestructable - A Mama's Emporium Review

One think I love about Mama's Emporium is that you get something free with every order, usually it's little stuff, a detergent sample, or sample of teething oil, lanolin, or something else she knows you like- but every once in awhile you get a really nice surprise. Imagine my shock when I opened up my package to find a copy of Plip Plop Pond!


These books are wonderful, nice and sturdy- we even tried to rip it and we couldn't! These books are non-toxic, and are made for baby to chew and play with. As a bonus when they get funky- you can just toss them in the dishwasher or washing machine. How awesome is that?

I think my favorite part of the book is that there are no words, so we get to make up a new story every time we read the book, I am really looking forward to when C starts reading the stories to me I think these books are going to make for some wonderful creative play!

Right now they are on sale at Mama's Emporium so go check them out!

I received this book for free from Mama's emporium with a paid order, and I wrote this honest review because I wanted to! :)

Wordless Wednesday

I was just thinking about how I would love to travel more, I would love to take my husband and son on an adventure outside of the US. Here are some pictures I took while in Istanbul with my mom and brothers in 2009.
