My 'Oops' Story

Since some of you were kind enough to share some of your horror stories with me about forgetting an extra change of clothes for your baby, I'll share my story {this is for you Campbell!}

When Little M was tiny I took her over to my parent's house for a little visit. I brought a diaper bag with diapers, wipes, and whatnot, but did not think to bring an extra set of clothes since she had already pooped before we left. I also wasn't concerned since my parents live 4 blocks away from us.

Anyways, we were hanging out there for a while, having a great time, and then I heard it. When Little M was tiny, her bowel movements were LOUD..there was definitely no mistaking what was going on {sorry M, I promise never to show this post to your future boyfriends}. And after I heard it, I saw it...poop leaking out of her diaper and all up and down her clothes. My mom and I quick rushed her upstairs and stripped her down. We cleaned her up and put her in a fresh diaper. Then my mom asked where the extra clothes were. Yeah that was my 'bad Mommy' moment when I had to admit I didn't bring any...or even a blanket to wrap her in since it was THE DEAD OF WINTER.

However, my mom had a soft blanket she wrapped around my little girl and I was able to quickly run home and get some more clothes {I actually brought back THREE extra outfits just in case, haha}. Thankfully we were so close and Little M didn't have to freeze in her carseat as I drove her home to change. I went anywhere without extra clothes again!

    Haha, well at least now she's always prepared for an emergency trip with extra clothing!

    I love it! When Grant was little he had a poop explosion in a similar fashion where the poop was running down his legs onto the pew at church! Oh dear! Thanks for sharing, Mandy.

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.
