A Trip to My Favorite Store

To be honest, I really do not know what to 'journal' about today.

Therefore, I will give you a little peak at my shopping list for my next trip to Target; which will hopefully be tonight.

1. Crest 3D Whitestrips

[I have a great coupon.]

2. Neosporin

[Coupon.]

3. Baby Wipes

4. Hand Soap

5. California Baby Super Sensitive Baby Lotion

6. Lysol

[Coupon.]

7. And maybe some cute Saint Patrick's Day shirts for Austin and I to wear on that special day!

So if you didn't feel like a big part of my life through this blog before... Now you do!

Happy Thursday, readers!

Items of [Busy]ness

I sure do love my little family. There is never a dull moment over here; especially for Austin. Yesterday, Austin was at home for a total of about 55 minutes. Yep, he is that busy. So while he was off playing basketball last night, I went to the Chandler Mall with my Mom and brother. I had Ryker in the baby carrier the entire time; which really took a toll on my back. Luckily, it feels fine this morning. Then, I went and said goodbye to my little sister who is going to Georgia with her boy this weekend. They are so cute together. Remember when I set them up on a blind date? Who knew they would end up in love. Any-who, I don't really know where I am going with this post. I guess I might just be rambling on to get to some points.

Point number one may be that I lost my list of blogs. Can you see on the right side of the blog where it says, "Our Blog List"? Well, when I was redesigning our blog, the whole list disappeared! I was very sad because that is where I go to read all of your fun posts! So, I am asking if you could all just leave a comment with your blog address? That would be wonderful! I just love reading everyone's blog so very much.

I believe point number two could be that I am still going strong on my personal challenge. Last week I was 12 pound lighter than my pre-pregnancy weight. This week I am 17 pound lighter. I have gone down five more pounds this last week... Wow, who knew eating those ice cream bowls would really pay off?? Could it be because it is lactose-free ice cream that I have been eating? Either way, I am happy.

Well, I guess I really don't have a third point... But I do have a way cute picture from yesterday that just makes me smile so very big. Let's just say that Ryker has really gotten a kick out of looking at himself in the mirror recently.

Oh, and here are some other fun pictures from yesterday as well.

Have another happy Tuesday!

Troubled

Ever since I can remember, I have colored my hair. With the exception of one time, I have always gotten highlights. I have tried going dark brown once, but I soon realized that it was just not me. During my pregnancy, I did not touch the color in my hair until a week before I delivered. I got lowlights/highlights and I am very sad to say that my hair did not turn out the way that I wanted it to.

So, this leaves me troubled. I want to go back blonde, but it is just so expensive to get a color done these days [especially when your hair grows as fast as mine and you have to get your roots touched-up about once a month]. I have thought about doing it on my own... but have quickly pushed that idea out of my mind. I just know that I would turn my hair orange.

This leaves me with one question. Does anyone know of a good, but cheap, stylist? I am looking for anyone; whether they are at a salon or work out of their home. Comments below would be much appreciated. :] Thank you so much!

On My Mind...

Arizona is so hot right now! 

We are currently breaking records. 

It hasn't been this hot this late in Arizona since the late 1800s. 

Incredible. 

Thank goodness for air conditioning!

I wish I wasn't always exhausted.

You would think that the 10 hours of sleep I get each night would be enough.

I guess it's not.

I am so grateful to have my job!

There is so much pleasure that comes from hard-earned money.

I sure am blessed.

Hmmm, I think I'm starting to swell...

My wedding ring still fits me, but I feel that my hands and feet don't look the same??

This is not good.

I sure do have the best family!

There is nothing like having all my siblings, their spouses, and lovers together.

I love how my parent's house is never empty. 

Who knows what tonight will be like?!

Oh, and Austin...

You never complain about your beyond-busy schedule!

I wish I could be more like you.

I love you.♥
