I have been wanting to get into vlogging for a while, but I just haven't made the leap. I'm afraid that I'll look like a moron lol. But I figured since I want to remember this trip and have a bunch of video footage to show the kids when they start telling me we never did anything fun (lol), I might as well edit it and post it. So that's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to start the day we leave and...

{Thanksgiving Festivities}
This year, much like the last couple years, was pretty mellow and uneventful. D and I were invited to my brothers house for dinner but instead of that we headed to his grandmas house. I would have much rather stayed home to be honest. It's so much more relaxing to just cook at home. Especially since my grandpa passed, I just don't want to deal with people. But at the same time, his grandma isn't in...

{Gaiges Parent/Teacher Meeting}
I feel like I'm going crazy here people. I swear if it's not one kid acting up it's the other and I don't know what the hell I'm doing wrong.
I had Gaiges parent/teacher meeting on Tuesday. It was awful to say the least. Aside from saying they can see his potential and that he is really a smart and sweet kid, there was nothing positive said. You can't know how disheartening it is to hear someone...

{Disney Bound- What's in my Carry On}
I guess technically this isn't a carry on and it's more like a road trip bag. Since I'm not flying any time soon. But I thought it would be fun to do anyway :). I love watching these on youtube. But because I'm not a fan of being on camera, I'll just blog it...

{Owen's Parent/Teacher Meeting}
I can't believe this year is already half over. We only go to school until May and it's already almost December. Where did this year go? When I was little my grandma used to say that once a kid starts school, the years just fly by. I'm thinking she's right. I don't think there's a day that goes by anymore where I don't think where did the day go? it's more than a little insane to think that in...

{Disney Bound- Moms Park Bag!}
I have been going back and forth as to if I want to take a bag into the parks or not. And ultimately I think it'll be a good idea. Especially since I want to vlog and snap chat as much as I can. I'll need a place to keep my extra batteries, memory cards, and chargers. I'm not feeling the whole huge book bag thing though for myself. I might be able to talk D into taking one. Just so we have our ponchos...

{I Think It's Time For Some Truth}
I don't even know where to start this right now. I guess we should start with the fact that, I haven't lost any weight since my initial seven pounds. None. Why? I'd like to say I don't know, but I know that's not true. I do know why and the blame is all on me....

{Disney Bound- The Struggle}
These kids are making me nuts! I am so glad I didn't tell them about our trip when we booked it in August. I'd have canceled it by now just so I didn't have to hear Are we going to Disney today? every single day. Which is exactly what Owen has been asking me since the day after we did our reveal. It's insane...

{Disney Bound- What's In My Makeup Bag?}
I am by no means a makeup expert, but I do know what I like and what works for me. So like I have with every other travel series, I thought I'd tell you what I'm taking with me in my makeup case this trip!
For starters, I'm packing everything I'm going to need in a roll up toiletries bag. I'm planning on taking this one that my grandma gave me. It had been hanging on her bedroom door for years, stocked...

{My New Baby!}
Oh my goodness you guys! I just can't even express how excited I am right now! I feel like I'm always saying that lol. But for real, it's so amazing!
D had a sleep study to go to yesterday morning. He woke me up and told me he was leaving, I heard the door shut. I got up a few minutes later assuming he had left and was off to his appointment. Just as Owen and I were getting ready to leave the house,...

{Disney Bound- The Big Reveal!}
I have been waiting since we booked our trip to tell the kids we're going! It has been absolute hell trying to keep this damn secret! I hate keeping secrets like that. But today is the day! I finally got our Magic Bands in the mail! And just in time too, we're only three weeks from our Disney vacation.
I have scoured the internet (mainly pinterest) for a way to tell the kids. A creative way. I finally...

{Disney Bound- Packing List!}
I have waited so long to be able to write these posts! We're now just four weeks from our Disney trip and I can not wait! But now the real planning begins. I already posted about what we're taking as far as food. But when it comes to clothes, that gets a little harder. Mainly because the two older kids will want to pack their own bags. So that's stressful for me on its own. I like to know everyone...

{Disney Bound- Food Edition}
Ah! We only have five more weeks until we hit the road bound for Disney! I am so excited and oddly enough have not been going out of my mind planning. I'm having a hard time getting it together when I can't tell the kids where we're going yet. I'm waiting for the Magic Bands to come in and they won't even be shipped until some time after the third. But I have managed to plan out some of what we'll...
