How To Transition from 1 Child to 2 Children

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvDQ5CT5lv0

Hi friends! I hope your doing well. I did a video sharing some tips on how to transition from 1 child to 2 children. When we started to TTC, Bobby was 2 1/2 and had no clue what was going to happen. Once we got pregnant a month later we really started really talking to him about the changes that we're going to happen. Fortunately for us, he's a pretty easy going kid. He adjust well to change and was some what self sufficient (meaning he was potty trained, can follow instructions, and things of that sort). I hope you take some of the tips I shared and incorporate them into your family's transition. I think Bobby did so well with the big change because we made it a very exciting thing, like Christmas. What kid doesn't look forward to Christmas?!?

Let me know what you did or plan to do to transition your family. I would love to hear what worked for you or perhaps what didn't!

I love you all xoxoxo

Confessional Friday

Happy Friday Friends! Wow, I am so excited for the weekend! 


I'm linking up to A Blonde Ambition, this is my very first time linking up to her blog, and I think I like it.


Lets Go!


1. I ate a king size Snickers every day for the past week...I just can't help myself.


2. Every time the receptionist at my job talks, I want to tell her how much I hate her voice. I can't stand when people do a fake baby voice, she sounds like a 5 year old (and not in a good way)


3. I haven't done laundry in a week and Baby B is running extra low on socks


4. I've secretly always wanted blonde hair. Do blondes really have more fun... I'll never know


5. Baby B fell and his nose was bleeding today. Seeing my 15 month old bloody and crying, almost made me pass out. I held it together and he's okay. I gave his an ice pop, just because. This was our 1st toddler accident.


6. I hate taking showers in the morning. I'd rather pour hot coffee in my eyes, then have get out of a warm shower in the morning.


7. I plan on numerous Mango Margaritas on Saturday, in honor of Cinco De Mayo. The hubby and I have a date set. Parents Gone Wild!


Uugh! It feels to get all that out! I hope you guys have an awesome weekend!

Girl Talk: Spicing Up Your Love Life

I was recently asked to do a review on the a website. As soon as heard the name I was like HUH? The name of the website it Edens Fantasy's, it's an adult store that has a wide variety of items. The girl I spoke with Jenn, was super nice and said they had a ton of bath and body products. That's the reason why I decided to check it out. To be honest "adult store" make me a little uncomfortable. I think of a grimy building, with no windows, and a huge neon sign with flashing lights. Not the type of place I wanna go to. But I think every relationship needs a little spicing up, and this is definitely the place where you can buy the spicing up ((discreetly)). The website is nicely put together and there are a variety of different categories. You can go right to the Bath section and skip all the other stuff if you want to try any of their products.

I decided not to get anything crazy, but I might just have to next time. I picked the Dona by Jo Body Wash in Blue Lotus. It's a superfruit & aphrodisiac-infused body wash. The body wash is great for sensitive skin and is cruelty-free! This is a major plus, as I'm seeing more and more people being conscientious of using cruelty-free products. 

There are 6 different scents, but with names like camu camu it's a little difficult to know what scent you'll like. The blue lotus smells fresh and clean, with a touch of an aroma therapy smell. 

I hate Bath and Body Works body wash. The fragrance it too strong, and I never feel clean after using them. I've used Dove Exfoliating Body Wash for the last 8 years and have not been disappointed. To me this body wash is in between the Dove and Bath and Body Works. It has a light fragrance, but makes your skin feel clean. This hasn't taken the place of my Dove body wash, but I like to switch between the two. As for the aphrodisiac part, I haven't noticed any difference! That's fine with me, the body wash it's self is great!

The last product I picked was the Pure Instinct Attractant Cologne. This is a combination of natural pheromones and rare oils. I heard about pheromones when I worked at Sephora years ago. Dr. Perricone make the Synergy Anti-Aging Aromatic which costs around $250.00. It's said to make you more confident and clam and in turn make you more attractive to the opposite sex! Since then I've been wanting to try it, so I decided get this one. I thought that it was going to be some gimmick and probably smell like crap.

I was so pleasantly surprised when I put it on and smelled it. I kept saying "this smells really good", I couldn't believe how good it smelled. The product says that people who wore this aroma noticed an elevated confidence, enhanced mood, and awakened senses. I can honestly agree with all of those things. I don't feel like I'm more appealing to the opposite sex, but I just love the way I smell when I wear this. I've worn it every day for the last week.

The only negative I have is, it doesn't last all day. After a couple hours, I can't smell it. The smell is sweet and clean, and I love it! Honestly, I would highly recommend this, as a great alternative to your perfume. I sometimes wear both this and perfume and they smell great together.

You can add it to your bath water, which gives the water a nice scent and leaves your skin soft and smooth.

I think Edensfantasys.com is a great store, that has something for everyone. The items are well priced and the shipping is quick (which I love because I'm impatient). You should go check it out and see what you can get to spice up your sexy time!

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY!

Happy Hump Day! Our work week is half way over, which I love, but the weather has been pretty craptastic! No post just sharing a picture of my green eyed boy that I took the other day.

Smart and Sassy Keys!

Hi Friends! I hope your having an amazing weekend. I want to share a little project that's quick but cute. I'm always confused by all the different keys I have on my key ring, and of course I could buy one of those colored thing, but that's boring! I saw this on Pinterest, and had to do it. Adding glitter to your keys is a great way to tell the difference between keys, while looking girly and cute. Smart and Sassy!  I love glitter, like who doesn't?!?



Here's what I used;
Glitter Glue ($1.00 at Joanne's Fabric)
Glitter ($1.00 at Joanne's)
Clear nail polish
Your key



Take the glitter glue and outline the top of the key. The more glue you use, the clumpier it will look, so try not to use too much.


This is what it will look with the glitter glue. You could always stop here, but I wanted more glitter!


While the glue is wet, dip it into the glitter. You might have to do the entire top of the key. Make sure to shake off the excess.


Tada! You have a blinged out key. Your going to repeat the same steps for the opposite side. The last add clear nail polish to both sides. This will help keep the glitter in place.


Here's how silver and gold look. I really like the gold key!
::note to self:: Paint my nail tonight, my nails are a hot mess lol

It's supposed to be in the 80's, so it should be a great day. Anyone doing anything this weekend? Regardless have a great day, and thanks for reading!

Happy April Fools Day!

Happy April Fools Day Friends! The first of April has come so quickly, but I'm looking forward to Easter and the start of really nice whether. I didn't have any pranks on pulled, nor did I do any pranks. I'm too grown for pranks... NOT! Lol, I love joking around and being silly, but I didn't remember to plan anything funny. The hubby didn't even know it was Aprils Fools Day, I had to tell him! 

This month I plan on doing our entryway. I've been looking for a corner side table, but haven't had any luck. Once I find the table, then I can start. I also decorating our play area, kitchen, laundry room. These are 3 small rooms, since we are in an apartment, so it will be fun to see what I can come up with. For the kitchen I plan on painting the cabinets, but need to get the OK first. They are extremely old and gross, so I'm sure they  won't mind. I plan on laying the temporary flooring, doing something with the back splash, painting the wall, and other little projects. I'm really excited to start all that.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you had an amazing month, and I hope you didn't get pranked too hard. Please subscribe and comment because it would mean so much to me! 

We Love Spring Weather

We've been enjoying warm weather like so many others, I'm sure! Thankfully winter wasn't too bad, but I'm happy for it to be over. I've always loved summer but as I get older I tend not to like the extreme heat and humidity. So spring and fall have grown on me. 

The feeling of spring brings back memories of being a kid. Being happy to have more time to play outside while my mom and dad worked in their garden. I try to pass on the memories that I had with Baby B, in hopes that he has a great childhood like I did. So with all that said, we having been spending as much time outside as possible. Either we take a walk or go to the park, either way B loves it.  Here are some pictures of our day at the park.

 

 

 

                                   

This little maniac kept trying to climb up thee slide. And the best part is he did pretty good on his own. He's so strong, and I love to see the determined look on his face!

 

 

New Drugstore Makeup Review!!!

Right now there's a lot of talk about drugstore make-up products. I want to give you my thoughts on the ones I've brought. I first want to say that I've tried all different make-up brands,  but always liked higher end makeup. Not because I'm a make up snob, just because the color payoff was a lot better. Over the past couple months drugstore make up brands have come out with a bunch of new products. The ones that I've tried I've surprisingly loved.

1. Revlon Lip Butters- They are a mix between a lipstick, lip gloss, and chapstick. They glide on so smooth and feel super light. The color payoff for some can be too sheer, but Red Velvet is amazing. It's a dark red that's amazing.

2. Maybelline Color Tattoos 24hr Cream Gel Eyeshadow- This product is comparable to the MAC paint pots, which I know a ton of people use. It's an eyeshadow that can be worn as a base or by it's self. I absolutely love my MAC paint pot in Soft Ochre. But I was very surprised at how well these worked. I only used Tough as Taupe, it worked as a great base, went on smoothly, and lasted all day. They did come out with some bright colors, which aren't my style, but would be great for some bright eye looks. I will be buying more of these.

3. Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer- For a drugstore concealer it's okay, but I do think it tends to fade as the day goes on. It glides on nicely, and the coverage is OK.I don't think this is something I would re buy. I have pretty dark circles some days, so I basically need paint!

4. Loreal Colour Balm- I only tried one color and ended up returning it. These lipsticks have the same concept as the Lip Butters, with none of the color payoff. I was underwhelmed to say the least. The color was nude, but barely showed up on my lips. I would not re-buy this product at all.

I also want to share two drugstore foundations that are new but I love and highly recommend. Maybelline Fit Foundation and Dream Mousse Liquid are two of the best foundations I've found. I've re brought both of these and couldn't be happier with the way my skin looks when I wear them. The Fit Foundation gives your skin a dewy finish with a lighter coverage. The Dream Liquid Mousse is a heavier foundation but gives  the best coverage. I've had girls tell me how nice my skin looks when I have this on. I truly believe these two foundations are great foundations, drugstore or not.

I hope you all had an amazing weekend! I sure did!!!

Slacking On My Pimpin'

I've been slacking on my blogging lately, and I miss doing it. So much is happening in my life right now, so finding time to blog is hard. I started a new job a couple weeks ago. I'm no longer an official SAHM. I still consider myself a SAHM because I still do everything I normally did, plus work 40 hours. The first couple days were hard to be away from Baby B, but I'm getting better. Right now it's the best decision for the family, and that's the number one priority. I really like my job, that's a huge plus. I work with some great people and the atmosphere is really laid, so I couldn't be happier.
We also have were on the apartment hunt, for what seemed like forever. It seemed much harder this time around. We've been in our current place for 4 years, so it's been a while. I'm happy to say that we've finally found a place! Thank God, because this mama couldn't take much more. It's a  different neighborhood, but only about 3 minutes away. I'm looking forward to moving and making this new place our home. I have so many projects to come, and can't wait to share them with you. I've gotten so inspired from different blogs I read, as well as Pinterest. I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween! We had a great time, we took a ton of pictures, and seen some great kids dressed up. We went around our neighborhood, everyone was outside handing out candy to the kids. It was a great time, making memories with my boys!
Please bare with me while I get myself and my family on a schedule. I miss blogging and can't wait to get back to one of my favorite things to do!

My little tiger! 

Bobby at his first birthday party!

The Beginning of Fall

Here on the East Cost, the weather is changing. That means cooler nights and changing leaves. We decided to take advantage of that and go to our local state park. They have a beautiful area right on the Delaware River, where you can see the city skyline and get some really great photos. I plan on taking Bobby’s official 7 month photos this weekend. He’s just a couple days shy of 8 months. I’m also planning on doing a fall photo shoot in the same park, with a fall setup. It should be really cute, I hope it comes out as I imagine. Happy Saturday, I hope your having a relaxing weekend.
