Here you will find me, or rather my hand, which BTW as a separate entity has booked 3 more commercials than my actual face this year… but regardless, my hand, as shown is showcasing chip dipping skills that would make Nacho Man proud. Ugh, … Continue reading

shadow box

I was reading this blog a while back I found on Pinterest (shocker) and this lady had made these shadow boxes for her kids that were super freaking cute. Like so cute I went to Michael’s and bought a bunch of miscellaneous crap without the slightest plan, rhyme or reason. Just a wild hair. That is the story of my life, I will randomly see something and become so inspired that I spend every waking hour obsessing over it until I get it out of my system. It’s like these little spastic fits of creativity and motivation in between long spans of boredom and laziness.

Okay – I am finally back. You guys don’t know this but I just got sucked into the black hole of Pinterest. I went to go find the image above because it was such a perfect and accurate representation of how my stupid brain works. Anyway I started reading all the other hilarious quotes I’ve posted and started laughing thinking I could totally make a blog post about funny quotes – oh snap, wait I am working on a blog post right now, that’s right I logged in here for a reason, back on track. Boom.

Anywho, back to the boxes… I had to look through my pictures and pick out a theme. I picked pink for O because everything I purchased and received for my first girl was pink.

Look at that tiny little thing. I don’t remember anything about the hospital stay from my first child. I was on so many drugs and tranquilizers it was all a blur so it’s nice to see pictures of what actually happened. Apparently my parents visited.   baby 12-23-10 264 Look how sexy my ma is. She’s a G-MILF.

IMG_2387 - Copy O’s Box. Aunt Lauren hand made that hat for her and she wore it a lot too because her head was like 90th percentile (trust me on this it felt that way coming out) and this hat stretched real nice. I wrapped that letter O with yarn too for a splash of texture. I also glued all the stuff in there with a glue gun. The blog I read said some people tacked their stuff in there so it didn’t get ruined but her perspective was it was now art and wasn’t going to be wore again. I agreed and glued my shit in there too.

W was different. I didn’t do all pink with her from the beginning but I did do a lot of animal print.

My brother took these adorable pictures of the girls. So sweet.

Ha just kidding it doesn’t.

IMG_2388 Her little box is pink too but a bit more funky. O was always classic, W seems a bit more brave and wild. Second child thing, self fulfilling prophecy – guess I will never know.

Frozen

Party time for Oakley. She is turning 4 close to Christmas but we always celebrate early so people can do the holiday party too. It was rather small this year, I kind of slacked on preparations and waited till the last minute but O didn’t care.

Grandmom hard at work. She always helps me out, I am the worst hostess and party planner. I see 1 million ideas on Pinterest and then try to do them all at one time. They never turn out either. I’m literally about to chuck the crock pot out the window but that’s an entirely different story.

O picked a Frozen theme (surprise, surprise!) pretty sure every girl had a frozen birthday this year, that movie is pretty awesome though so I can’t blame them. Cake looks a little sideways but hey- it adds character.

IMG_6329 balloons everywhere, like I said I skimped on the decor this year. kids love balloons though so O was happy. We still have one wrapped up in the ceiling fan. It might be there all year, it’s a two story family room so I hope its comfortable. I’ve finally accepted the fact it isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

O and her cousin sharing a scarf –  I know, seems a little dangerous. I took it away after the picture. I’m such a party-pooper.

We did pulled pork and a couple store bought salad sides. Not too fancy. Mini hotdogs wrapped in Pillsbury croissants – those are super easy and always a hit.
