Cowboy Boots & Tutus

My four year old makes me feel ashamed, less than fantastic, old fashioned, frumpy, hmm…I’m sure there are other ways of saying it!

Yes, that’s right! I some how have let my FOUR year old make me feel like I don’t dress well enough!

Okay, I’m sure you are quite confused by now. You’re probably thinking “Come on Becca, she’s four! How could she possibly make you feel like that?”

Well…you see what had happened was…

Emalee is slightly HUGELY obsessed with Barbie and Barbie movies lately. I really don’t have a problem with it. Most of these movies have excellent morals and examples for children to follow.

Every Barbie movie has it’s very own moral…I’m sure some of you guys want to know what they are…so here is a link to a list of them!

Yes I took the time to find them all 🙂 It is listed on the back of the DVD, yes she has all of these! After taking the time to get it off the boxes, my slow self realized that there is a website you can get it from 🙁 I so should have googled it first!

Okay, so I know that A Fashion Fairytale has a moral. It is an amazing move…however…my child has learned something more from this movie…

“Mommy, that is so not fashionable! You can’t go out in that!”

Unfortunately, I am not exaggerating!
My four year old has told me on several occasions that I’m not fashionable 🙁
This makes me sad!
My hubby laughs at me and kindly points out…you are worried about fashion advice from a four year old that dresses like this!!

Baby on a Budget

We all know the major, massive, insane amounts of money it takes to raise a kid.

However, sometimes we forget that we have options when it comes to what we buy. Just because we need diapers, formula, wipes, and so much more doesn’t mean that we have to buy the “popular” name brand products.

I know as a first time mom I was often scared to try the “store” brand products. The second time around I realized that there are somethings that work and some things that don’t.

I decided to write a post to let you guys know the products that I have tried, what works, and what doesn’t!

Hope this helps save you a bit of money as well!

Okay…so I am totally going to embarrass myself in this post…I am going to share pictures of myself working out!

Top 10 Laughs

Wow! It’s Saturday already?!?! Wasn’t yesterday Wednesday? Okay, so clearly I lost a lot of time this week! It has sure seemed like a busy one…even though we didn’t do anything!

Linking up with Melissa over at The Mommyhood Chronicles for my first Saturday full of laughs! Come join in on all the fun!

This week was FULL of laughs for me! I was able to post in detail about a few of them, which just made me laugh even more! I am excited because Daniel and I are going out to eat tonight! This will be the first time in quite a while that we have left the house without the kids..I’m a little nervous! (I will try and write about it later!)

Not My Cat!

So we all know that when it comes to having a new born in the house you shouldn’t expect a lot of sleep. I knew this ahead of time and yet still was amazed at how little sleep I was getting! After a straight week of about 2 hours a night I was pretty out of it. My husband tried to help but then I just felt bad because he had to go to work the next day while I didn’t. Continue reading “Not My Cat!”

My Journey to Parenthood

Okay, so I have thought long and hard about whether or not I wanted to do this post. It is a personal topic and a tough one for me to talk about sometimes. However…I have decided that I may feel better if I tell my story and let it out.

I know this is a bit lengthy and it was rather difficult for me to write. There were times during this post that I was laughing, crying, and sometimes that I just sat here in disbelief that we were able to make it through all of this.

This is my story of how I became known as this new and wonderful person: Mommy. Continue reading “My Journey to Parenthood”
