Valentines Day

I tend to feel I am a pretty old fashion girl when it comes to love, marriage & such -- BUT.  I am totally NOT into the hype of Valentines Day.  It seems to be JUST me.  Our friends & acquaintances seem to have a budget set.  For reals?  A budget.  Your kidding me.  Its not fucking Christmas.  Nor is it your anniversary.  {Ok some of you have this fantastic day as your anniversary.  AND go you!  Two days over in one.  Fucking right on!}

At this point in the post my mother is shaking her head.  "My daughter doesn't swear."  Well I do. Proof.

 So back to the Valentines Day Budget.  This seems to be a real thing.  I've heard as much as $1,000.  Jaw dropping.   I am a tad bit annoyed that Mr. L bought me chocolates this year that cost over $15.00.  All I bought him was a fucking .68c Cadbury Egg.  And he LOVED it.  Better yet, I totally was within budget.

Do we really need to designate ONE day of the year to proclaim our love for our sweetie?  Hmm.  

Valentines Day is for KIDS.  Well maybe that's just because I have them.  Ha.  I bought them each a little notebook activity book deal-e-o.   Tonight we will have a special dessert.  Secretly because Moms craving it.  Probably would of made it regardless of Valentines Day.  They are passing out little cards to their classmates & of course we are eating CANDY.  I mean what holiday doesn't revolve around fucking candy.  Seriously.  The dentists must be in cahoots with this shit holiday.

Whats your intake on this Valentines Day thing?  Do you really go all out.  Fancy dinner out, $1,000 present?  Hmm.  Don't buy into the faux holiday.  Don't. Do. It.  {Its sure to save you some money!}

What I Wore Wednesday

Top: Light Pink Tank from Target {my fave.}
Layered with a Light Yellow 3/4 Length Tee with lace edge from Old Navy.  It is so three years ago.  Still diggin' it. 

Bottom:  Dark Denim Jeans from Khols.  Grey Socks from Target.  This is my ONLY pair that is not crazy. 

*I have realized that my clothing collection is very plain.  I have lots of solids.  Tops & Bottoms.  Is that odd?  My socks however are crazy.  I rock my socks.*

Birthday Season

Eek. Here we are - Closing in on what I like to call Birthday Season.  First we have ButterBeans&ChicPeas.
My fourth child. Er, I mean my business. February 17th she turns two.  Is it weird I just referred to my business as a "she"?
On February 29th My lil' leap year baby, Cody turns eight.  Wow.  I totally have an 8 year old.  Five days later Miss Emma turns FIVE.  {Whats scary is my BABY is FIVE! - How did I allow this whole time thing to happen?}

So three Birthdays in less than a month.  Take a breath.  - But not too long.  April 9th Jack turns seven!   Ten days later Happy Birthday to ME!  & on that same day Happy Anniversary to Mr. L & Myself.  Nine Freakin' years!  Thats somethin'.

Here we go.  Get ready to dive in Momma.  You can do this.  You are supermom - remember?  {That is me mentally prepping myself!} I've got three, whom I kidding 4 cakes to make.  {Like someone else was going to make ME a cake!}  A couple parties to host.  Lots of birthday presents to buy & a giveaway to put up!  Wish me LUCK!

Its been awhile...

I've been super busy.  The boys were out of school for 4 1/2 weeks.  So long.  We spent 1 week of it down in Florida meeting my new & FIRST nephew, Ezra.  How lovely.  Simply amazing.  The time there flew by & of course I miss that new baby smell.  Next time I see him he will be crawling - maybe walking!  Eeek. 

I love that we got Ezra out in the sun & sand - Much to his Mums dismay!   

The belly band I made was a perfect accent to his toes in the sand.

 The boys both got to have a ride on Nana's Motorcycle!

 Emma loved splashing around in the ocean!  
And we all had a good day with Nana at the beach!

Once back from Florida Mr. L's mom & dad came into town.  The kids enjoyed the time with Grandma & Grandpa. 

 After Grandma&Grandpa left it was back to school & back to routine.  Let me till you it felt good getting up early that Monday morning.  

It's been awhile...
