I'm a Girl Mom

I'm totally late to the party, but today I'm liking up with Kelly for her Show Us Your Life series.  Today's {well, last Friday's} topic was moms of girls....how perfect for me!

If you're stopping by from SUYL, my name is Mandy and I have two sweet little girls.

Little M is three.


Baby C is almost 10 months.


And since Baby C is our last baby, it's official...I'm a girl mom!!  And I have to say, I love every second of it.

I am about as girlie-girl as they come.  Pink is my favorite color and I love nothing more than doing my nails, hair, make-up, and gettting all dressed up.  I have always played with dolls and used to play dress-up for hours.  Romantic movies and books are my favorite, and other than my love of football, I'm about as far away from a tomboy you can get.  So when the doctor first cried out, "It's a girl!" when Little M was born, I was elated!  My own sweet little girl.  Bows, dolls, and everything pink danced through my head.

The joy of raising Little M is so amazing that when we found out Baby C was a girl as well, my heart leapt.  Not one, but TWO sweet girls to raise!  Proms, wedding dress shopping, pedicures, long talks ala Gilmore Girls....I could not be more excited for all of it.  Sure, the teenage years can be rough with girls, but I would not trade them for anything.

A lot of people ask Skip if he wants to try for another baby...to try and get his boy.  Apparently some people still care about that whole carrying on the name thing.  But not Skip, he is 10000% overjoyed at being able to raise these two sweet girls.  There is nothing sweeter than watching my man with his two little princesses.

You can't tell, but his shirt says D.A.D.D.  Dads Against Daughters Dating, hahaha

I could not be happier to be a girl mom...the tutus, the headbands, the matching outfits, the Barbies, so many sweet memories to come....and I wouldn't have it any other way:)

    I LOVE being a girl mom! I was elated when we found out Ci was a girl!

    Love Skips shirt!! Ci's little friend daycare, Braden bought her a bracelet for her birthday. Braden's mom told Daniel, "My son is already buying your daughter jewelry!" Daniel said 'She's not dating until 35!" :)

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.
