Night night bath...

My sweet little fish after his bath!

Things I'm loving right now: Home Sweet Home....

With the move into our apartment just around the corner, we've been talking a lot about what we'd like to do decor-wise for our home. We've been trying to figure out our "style" for years now...and truth be told we still have a hard time putting it into words. The best we could come up with is a mix between Country cottage meets eclectic?! We have a love for old things and I love the charm that country cottages have to offer. They're cozy! Exactly what I feel home should look and feel like. :) Here is some inspiration:Love that color!!!

Oh so pretty!!!

Metal frame beds are one of my favorite things!!!

This wall color is very elegant!!!

Great pantry idea!!!

Clever and cute...winning combination!!!

Mommy beauty tricks!

I love having that sunkissed glow! All the busy mamma's out there join me in saying "who has time for that!?!" ;) Well, this stuff may not give you the "relaxing in the sun feeling", but it'll at least make you look like you did just that! I've been using it several times a week at night before bed and if applied correctly and evenly it looks pretty close to the real thing! I say it's a beauty staple for summer!

Hoping for that $50,000 for college!!!

The Gerber Photo contest! We're a bit behind, but I do hope we have a chance! How awesome would it be for Jaden to have so much of his education already paid for!?!?! Josh and I have been working on getting his college fund set up. We've decided to go with the GA 529...although setting it up hasn't exactly been easy, it is looking to be a great option.

Positively my new fave!!!

It's called "I think in Pink" and this girly girl LOVES it!!!!

8 months and Father's Day!!!

I can't believe it's been over a month since I blogged. I'm so all over the place lately that blogging is often just another thing on my list of things I'd love to have time for list. A lot has happened in the last month. Josh got a new job, I'm starting a new job, Jaden turned 8 months...we celebrated Father's day.... Grammy and Pap came to visit, and we are MOVING INTO A NEW APARTMENT on the first of August! :) Yay! We are so excited! Once the move is over with and things start to settle into more of a routine, I do sincerely hope to get back into blogging...time permitting! :) Until then, here are some photos:

I am a Working Mom...

Working Mom. That's what I am...it's both a blessing and a curse. It is a blessing because I hope that someday I will be able to provide my son with a secure and promising future. It is a curse because I have to leave the child I longed for every day. Even though I am fortunate to leave him with my mom whom I know loves him tremendously, it doesn't change the fact that I WANT to be the one changing his diaper, feeding him, cuddling him, playing with him, singing with him....it is painful in a way that only other working mom's know. I've been told "if you really want to stay home you could"...yes and no. Yes, had I known how much I wanted that and known that someday I would indeed be able to conceive, I could have prepared better for that life...given the surprises and challenges life handed us...I no longer can afford that option. It is what it is...I know I am fortunate to be able to call myself employed, but a part of me mourns the lost time with my baby who is growing and changing on a daily basis...
