Where is your favorite places to go?

i'm not perfect.

After my horrid "Mommy Moments" this weekend, I had some serious making up to do to Van. Paul was surprised by Uncle Shane with Jazz tickets for Saturday night. It was suppose to be just a girls night of fun...and it ended up being Mommy was very grumpy and in pain. =/ I felt bad for Van; she was so disappointed. I took my grumpiness out on her. I know I shouldn't have, but I did.

*side note* If you received a random phone call from Van on Saturday night, I may or may not have given her free reign of my phone numbers. What can I say, I was heavily medicated...and I was trying to make her happy.

So after a ridiculously bad night, I woke up ready to make my Van smile. When I was little, my brother Kyle and I would make lots of forts. It is a very fond memory that I have of my childhood.
When Van woke up I asked her if she wanted to make a fort, and watch a movie. She was sooo confused. How could my 5 year old not know what a fort is? I had to fix this pronto!! We rounded up all the blankets, and I went with the easy way of making a fort with the dining table. I let Van drag my lap top under the table, along with a donut, popcorn, drink, and whatever else she could fit.

Mission accomplished! I made Van smile. It made me smile that she was so happy with such a simple thing. Life is good again...

week of love: things I love

Welcome to my week of love.

My first day is...things I love.

my gaucho pants.

my laptop.

my car. xx Tango!

my cell phone.

my bath tub.

my blender.

anything that is "new".

my couch...because Paul and I have separate couches.

my purse collection.

pictures. lots. of. them.

What things do you love the most?

expecting.

3 days with my new Expecting Miracles motto, and it is working wonders.

There have been lots of little miracles.

Lots of little things have happened, will happen, and for all of it...I am grateful.

One miracle we had today, our Vin is "bum up"! Sweet relief.

It was a little uncomfortable, but the end result...ultrasound and no c-section. =)

I would do it again, and I just might have to.

This weekend will be blog worthy, I am sure of it.

Especially with me expecting miracles...all. of. the. time.

Happy weekend!

Loves!

the hat.

When Van asked for a hat, I didn't really even want to buy it...thinking that it would be a waste of money. It was cute though and if she did wear it, even occassionally, it would save me from having to do her hair...which she hates. Little did I know that I would have to beg her to take it off for bath time, and she was extremely disappointed when I told her she couldn't wear it to church.
So look for her wearing the hat in every single picture from now on.

new motto

The Sassy Scoop girls got together last night. We went to review Anastasia's Attic in Gardner Village. You guys already know my love for Gardner Village, because I did just say that I went there with Van on Saturday. About 18 months ago I came up with a motto "This Too Shall Pass". It was a simple motto for what we were going through.

Times have changed, and I got inspired by these gorgeous bracelets from Anastasia's Attic. I changed my motto. It will now be "Expect Miracles". I love it. Every time I look down at my trio of bracelets I am reminded of my new motto. I am in love with what all three of them say, and together they are perfection.
