So What!

 

This week I'm saying SO WHAT! if...

• My house has been a wreck for days! We have been having Easter fun.
• I haven't used my real camera in MONTHS- honestly not since Christmas, it hasn't even left the bag.
• I only blog once a month, I'm a sucky blogger but hope to stick with it one day. Most of the world doesn't want to know my honest opinions anyways : x
• Thanks to my lovely anxiety acting up & not feeling well. I have made 3 Dr's appointments today. Might as well use that insurance I pay all that money for.
• That I have had wine for dinner and ice cream for dessert, twice this week =)

Weekly Menu...

Whats on your menu this week?? With my hub being so busy at work and not home until way after dinner time mine has been struggling! Not to mention my BIL is staying with us during the week for now & our leftovers don't go as far as they used to.

Sunday- Crock-pot Spinach & Tortellini Soup



Thanks but no thanks Bzz

I am not a fan of at home hair dye, to be honest the thought of screwing up my hair gives me crazy anxiety. BUT BzzAgent picked me as part of their Garnier Olia campaign so I decided to suck it up. I decided to go with Dark Soft Mahogany because I love the reddish tint that was supposed to come with it. Well, long story short, I'm not a fan! I didn't like that I had to leave it on for 30 minutes, I know in the past with at home hair dye it processed much quicker- I'm sure it's because this dye is "better" for your hair but I was bored. It also left my hair VERY dry, after rinsing it and adding their conditioning cream, I had to put some leave in conditioner in just to brush my hair. My hair is NEVER dry! I was not at all happy.

The only good things are... the price ($8.99 IMO is a low price for hairdye) and the fact that it didn't have any smell!

*before*

*I was starting at light brown*

*after dying & after some serious conditioning products*

This razor is AMAZING & I'm a picky girl when it comes to shaving. My skin is sensitive, dry & I have a hard time getting a close shave under my arms. The Shick Hydro Silk left me with no complaints. It left my skin so soft even with this crazy cold weather that normally dries them out & I had no problems with my underarms either.

The razor has this weird arch to it which took some getting used to, but now I don't even notice it. I also really like with it came with a little hook to hang in the shower.

Try it out & let me know what you think.

Love is in the air....

I don't normally do much decorating for Valentine's Day but this year decided to jazz it up a little! I found some free printables & made a cute wreath earlier this week. I discovered I HATE yarn, I tangle it non-stop but the end product is worth it. Not to mention this super cute wreath cost me a whopping $7.49 after tax!

I have this super cute FREE printable in my kitchen .... Check out designs by cp  She always has cute ideas!

This will be used all year long!! Me the hubby and the girls can all write little notes on it and move it around the house. I don't know about you but waking up to a love note from my hub makes my entire day!!

I saved this so long ago I don't have the link anymore but I have seen a lot of different version on Pinterest.

I also really lucked out finding a bag of Valentines goodies I got on sale last year!! I plan on getting the rest of that out this weekend and starting on C's school valentines <3

Happy New Year, Blogger World!

2012 was a great year for my family ... okay not GREAT but what fun is a year with no bumps in the road?! We all made it through alive & happy, what more can ya ask for?!

I try not to make resolutions, my goal is to be better in some way than I was last year! Sure I'd love to be skinnier, stress free, have a filled saving account & get to church more buuuut lets get real!

2013 started with me filling out a kindergarten application for a local charter school, the only have so many slots and fill them with a lottery system so wish us luck! I didn't think I would be so emotional filling out that application, I mean it's like I'm a stay home mom who is going to have this gap to fill all day. But let me tell you I was a MESS!! I couldn't stop the tears that day & those that know me, know that I'm not a very emotional person. I think Sandy Hook may have really added to my anxiety about her going to a "real" school. I won't know if we got a spot until March & even if we get one C still has to do the early enrollment testing in May. My baby girl is growing up & damn it, I'm just not ready.

C had also been really pushing for TRIPLETS, yep you read that right TRIPLETS ... 2 sisters & 1 brother. In case that's not bad enough, both girls will be named Piggie & the boy Benjamin (which I actually really like). We have decided to try for baby #2 at some point this year, hopefully the kid isn't too disappointed that IT WILL NOT BE TRIPLETS (Dear God, please read that thoroughly. Thanks from the woman who wants to keep her sanity)!

We have also talked about job changes, moving and lots of other big things- looking forward to what this year has in store for my family :) Stay tuned .....

I also have will be back soon with my BzzAgent Reviews!!
