Valentines, earrings, and bows, OH MY!

So, after a small hiatus from blogging, I’ve finally returned! I promise I am going to try to do better!



Life has been hectic with this sweet little four month old. She got her shots last week, and her ears pierced this week! I was so surprised at how she handled both of them with little to no crying! I know there has been a lot of negativity regarding getting her ears pierced so young, but trust me; I AM NOT the first parent, nor will I be the last to do such a thing. I had my ears pierced at age 9, and I remember how much of a tomboy I was. Those things were infected and had to be surgically removed within a couple of months.



I also have several friends who say they’re so glad their parents did it because they would have been too scared to do it at an older age, even though they would have wanted them done. Not that I feel the need to defend myself with the choices I make for MY child, but for other moms who are worried but thinking about getting their child’s done…Don’t worry, just do it. If it’s not your thing, that’s fine. Again: MY child, MY choices. You can rest assured that I would never make any choices that would harm her in any way, shape, or form, whether in the present or future.



On to the next! Friday was Valentine’s Day, and I made a few things for my daughter’s class. Bowties for the boys and a hair bow for the other girl. I clipped them to a card that said “You’re BOW-dacious, Valentine!” I’m so glad everyone loved them! I thought about making burlap bowties, but I went with blue seersucker to be on the safe side since it’s more universal.



Whitney and I made some bows the other day…Well, I made one, she made two. I think we’re both just a little excited for our babies to be wearing their super cute summer and spring clothes soon. Could MudPie make their stuff any cuter? I just don’t think anyone can top the cuteness level of MudPie. I just wish her stuff would hurry up and get here and that the warm weather would just make up its mind to stick around.

 Here are some pictures of her earrings and the Valentines I made!

Until next time, y’all.

Something to blog about

I haven’t blogged in over a week because believe it or not, I have been busy. Busy with a 4 month old? Who would’ve thought, right?

 
This weekend, I actually had a mommy date with my friend, Whitney. We went to Starbucks, Target, Hobby Lobby, Bed Bath & Beyond, and even had a lunch date with a couple of other moms at Wild Wings. It was such a nice day! Even though every time we heard a baby crying in a store, it was like a flashback that made us stand in silence while thinking of our little ones! Saturday night, Nate and I had a couple of friends over to eat pizza and play board games. So, I’d say my Saturday was pretty much a success.

This weekend, I think Whitney and I are going to do it all over again. Except this time, lots of makeup will be bought, babies will be spoiled, and us two mamas might even get a little bit of pampering time! Heck, I might actually buy myself something nice for the first time since I found out I was pregnant!

 
It just doesn’t seem as satisfying to shop for myself as it is to shop for my little girl. I find so much excitement when looking at clothes and toys for her. Thinking of how stinkin’ cute she’s going to look in this outfit, or how her face will light up when playing with this toy…You can’t buy ANYTHING for yourself that makes you that happy!

Sunday I sat at home and relaxed until later in the evening. Our friends Kayla and Jay came over to have dinner and watch the midseason premiere of The Walking Dead. Kayla even snapped a few Valentine’s Day pictures of Paisley while she was there! I am so ready to see how they turned out.

That’s all I’ve been up to lately! How about you?
