Uuugh. What is it with this house that makes people think they should knock on the door at ungodly hours? So far this has happened three times. I'm beginning to think there's some kind of sign saying the girl living here probably won't shoot you so go ahead and knock. This sign needs to be changed immediately...

{What's on My Phone?}
I did this post a while back when I had my S3 but since I upgraded in November I figured I'd do another one! I love my new phone! I got the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus and I do not regret it one bit! I wasn't sure if I was going to like it because I wasn't a fan of the no expandable storage but I like it so far. Especially since the Marshmallow update. I love that it's so much bigger than my last phone, so...

{AMA Trials!}
Gaige and D's dad have recently begun hanging out. Well, not really recently. He sort of stepped in when my grandpa passed and has taken Gaige under his wing. They spend a lot of time working on motorcycles and hanging out. R (D's dad) got Gaige an AMA (American Motorcycle Association) membership and signed him up to do trials for this Sunday (yesterday). Gaige was so excited about it! He loves to...

{Take This Not That: Hospital Bag}
I think most of us have been in the position before. You're standing in your bedroom, belly so big you can't see your toes, empty over night bag sitting on your bed waiting to be filled. You've packed and repacked the diaper bag, it's been ready for a month now. But you're bag? You have no idea what to put in there. Should you take PJ's or wear the hospital gown the whole time? What about make up?...

{Remember When I Wanted You to be Little Forever?}
I can remember the days passing by so fast that I begged them to stop. I wished so hard that I could slow things down, make you stay little for just a while longer. But with each passing day you got older. I dreaded the day you'd leave. The day I'd help you pack up your childhood room and move your things to your own apartment or to a college dorm...

{4 Things Every Breastfeeding Mom Needs!}

As most of anyone who knows me or follows me on any kind of social media is aware, I nursed/breastfed Owen until he was almost three years old. Something I am so glad I did! I loved every single second of it. Well, maybe not every second, the latch issues we had for the first month were pure hell...

{I'm a Binge Watcher}
When I signed up for Netflix again I had no idea what kind of door I was opening for myself. I love movies and I love TV and I have been through a bunch of them already.
I went through Switched at Birth first. I originally started watching it when it was in its first season on ABC Family. But I quit watching when we got rid of cable. So I have four seasons to get through! Yay for multiple seasons!...

{Stickerkid Review!}
A couple months ago I was approached by stickerkid.com to review their products. My first reaction was to check out the website and make sure it was actually legit (I've gotten similar emails that were just spam). Sure enough, it was a real business. A business with all kinds of cute labels! I love labels! So I emailed them back and said of course I'd love to do a review! I didn't hear anything back...

{Vacation Spots on my Bucket List}
D and I have recently been talking about what we plan on doing when he can retire/when the kids are finally out of the house. We both want to travel. Since we will only be in our 40's when Owen 18, we know we will still be young enough to do all the things we've had to put off because we just don't have the money for it right now. We figure that when we're done raising our kids, and we don't...

{Irrational Fears}
Everyone has them. Some people are scared of the dark, spiders, of being alone in a house at night. Some people are crazy. I'm not. I don't think my fear is that irrational really.
So I've hidden this pretty well since I was a kid. No one knew how bad my fear actually was until about three years ago. I had an actual freak out moment with D and Cassie (his daughter) in the car. There may actually...

{Don't Judge Me}
I have never been a mom that was so opinionated about everything that I would fight with people over why my parenting decisions were better than theirs. To be honest I think that's the dumbest thing I've ever seen go down in my life (now you call a dog a teacup and I'm ready to throw down..but that's a different story all together lol)...

{That Time I Really Didn't Lie}
I was a good kid for the post part. I didn't really get into trouble. I didn't back talk or throw fits (my grandma loves to tell the story of how I didn't actually know how to throw a fit). I was quiet, I played with my Barbies and my magnet people, and basically kept to myself. This trend carried on into my teen years. That's when we finally got the internet in our house (yeah, I was like fifteen)...

{Greetings from Grandma's House!}
Uuugh. Why must my appliances hate me so? I mean, I know I run them into the ground with my constant use but isn't that what they're made for? We just bought our drier (used cause we're poor) a few years ago. Yesterday when I was attempting to get some laundry done for the week ahead (since the kids return to school on Monday thank the lord), I noticed that it wasn't putting out any heat. Lovely....
