Mother's Day

I hope all my fellow moms out there had a very happy Mother's Day! This was my very first as a Mommy, and I was very excited. If there is one thing I have learned since becoming a mom, it is that nothing goes the way you planned...and yesterday was no different! As with every day, there were both good and not so good things that happened.

First, the not so good:
-Cops don't get holidays off, so my husband had to work from 7am - 3pm....sp there went my dreams of sleeping in nice and late.
-Little M thought that the point of Mother's Day was to spend as much time with me as possible...by waking me up at 5 am!
-I pulled a muscle in my back while trying to load car seat, baby, purse, diaper bag, and giant bag of gifts into the car...all at the same time (ok, maybe that was my own fault)
-my FAVORITE Italian restaurant in town (the one I had been practically dreaming of for days) was CLOSED!! Seriously...who closes on Mother's Day!??!
-The pizza place we ended up ordering from (which I had ordered from before and was pretty good) was not good at all and a big disappointment

However my husband and family made sure that the good prevailed:
- I had a very nice time at church with Little M and my mom
- My parents had us over for a lovely brunch with my family, where I was surprised with several touching cards, a great book and some beautiful black and white framed pictures of my sweet little girl
- My husband and Meredith (who obviously went in on some gifts together) each bought me cards that brought tears to my eyes...yummy chocolate truffles....the cables needed so I can hook up my computer to my TV....and a gift certificate for a mani/pedi in town (which will also mean at least an hour of alone time!!)
- Skip took over all diaper and feeding duties when he got home, so I just got to snuggle and play with Little M when she was happy
- I got to take a lovely nap while waiting for dinner
-Skip let me have complete control over the remote and did not complain even once!


So while maybe it wasn't the "ideal" Mother's Day that I would have planned for myself, it was still a very lovely day. I'm just so blessed to have my little girl so that I can celebrate in this beautiful day!

Spring Giveaway!

First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
