February Beauty Favorites!

Hey Guys!!

Ok so first off, happy Friday!! My favorite day of the work week (wait, yours too!? get out of here, were like besties already!).

 Today I have my February Beauty Favorites video up for you guys! And I know this is a little (or a lot!) late but since these are my favorite videos and posts I thought I would still post this for you guys just incase you enjoy them as much as I do and wouldn't mind a late one sneaking in their every now and then.

Also sorry for the quality on this, my video editor would not let me edit this bad boy, so I had to do it on youtube which lets just say does not have the best facilities for that kind of thing! I decided to still put it up even though its a little rougher than I prefer because it was a perfect storm of Parker napping in the afternoon yesterday and I had time to film which is no small success for this working mama, so sometimes you gotta just celebrate these gifts even if they don't turn out exactly like you want them to!

Thanks for stopping and please come again soon!!

Parker's First Christmas!

 

 

 

As you can see Parker thoroughly enjoyed his first Christmas! Sorry for the delay on posts during the holidays. I will now return you to regular scheduled programming :).

Today's post brought to you by Parker.

 

 

Mom got this great idea to wrap me in lights which sounded fun until they wouldn't let me put them in my mouth.. This was taken just seconds before I started to cry from being told no the 48th time. I mean really how mean is it to give me a toy and not let me put it in my mouth. These people sometimes..

 

This is one of the first times I really mastered sitting up by myself.

 

Then they decided I didn't need that stupid little bath tub anymore, so into the big tub I went, and did you know when you get to go to the big tub they give you way more toys! Highly recommend it! Mom decided to put the laundry basket in the tub which I thought was strange, but I heard her tell dad it would stop me from falling over she found this idea on pinterest, she talks about pinterest a lot..

 

They let me do some crafts sometimes, here I am working on my first masterpiece I call it "Don't eat that!" I'll explain later what the name means.

 

I'm not sure why they took this picture I think mom said something about liking my outfit and it was a gift... So thanks Brittany for the shirt my mom really likes it

 

Dad and I having a serious conversation about pushing my bed time back to 8 o'clock. Don't worry I convinced him.

 

Here's dad and I bright and early one morning. I really like the mornings dad isn't too sure about them sometimes..

 

These guys are always trying to get me to take a nap. I fight it most of the time but sometimes I give in.

 

Mom's probably the best at getting me to sleep. She is real sneaky she'll sing to me and she has such a bad singing voice I would rather sleep than listen to her.

 

See what I mean sneaky..

 

Dad and I spend a lot of time watching our favorite team the hawkeyes, and I haven't gotten it all figured out yet. But I think we like them and I think they did good this year as dad has been really really happy every Saturday

 

Thanks for reading guys! Tomorrow my mom will be back at posting so stop by and say hi to her!

Faux Weather Friend

 

 

Besides a faux leather jacket in the spring and fall, I'm not much of a faux leather fan. A fair weather faux leather wearer, you could say. (There are more bad jokes where that came from.) But this winter, this outfit with this quilted faux leather jacket has been my cool mom uniform.  Just ask Parker he thinks I’m the bomb dot com when I wear this (or any) outfit. NowI know this won’t last forever and all too soon he will think I am the most embarrassing person on the planet, but in the meantime I’m going to savor these moments where I can do no wrong in his sight, and I’m going to wear the heck out of this comfy cool outfit and sip my lattes in the mall with my sleeping baby and all the other cool mamas.
