Day 26: where you shop

The bounty from Tuesday's shopping excursion

It's become abundantly clear recently that I have a bit of a shopping problem. I love to shop. I love to spend money. I love stuff. I'm not picky about what I'm shopping for either. I like shopping for groceries, clothes, home goods, books, gifts... I like going to stores and I like online shopping. My daughter has more clothes than she can possibly wear (but I will make every effort to have her wear everything). She already has 3 bathing suits. She's not quite 3 months old and has 3 bathing suits. Is that normal? I have no idea where this crazy shopping habit came from but I'm pretty sure it's here to stay!

Well hello again

Wow... so much for doing photo-a-day! I have a few I never got around to posting. I'll try it again in July.

Day 24: on my mind

So many things come to mind when I see this picture: Am I ever going to lose the baby weight? Isn't the little one ridiculously cute? Am I totally damaging my kid's development by letting her look at computer screens (or TV screens)? Is it really true that exposure to screens (TV, computer, or others) cause kids to have ADHD?  How awesome is my new JCrew hoodie? What were we looking at? Should I start running? Can I take the baby to the kid's club at the gym? Is the kid's club better at my gym or D's gym?

My mind is constantly going and these days it's getting harder and harder to shut it off. My thoughts have just moved from being all about me and Dennis to being all about Olivia with a sprinkling of me and Dennis. I don't even want to admit the 10 million thoughts and questions that sentence just brought up! How do moms with more than one kid ever sleep?

Day 6

Day 6: hat

I am a huge dork and I love Paul Frank stuff. It was a super crazy happy day when I saw that Target was going to carry a Paul Frank line. I found this hat on sale in the kids section at Target. I love it!

Off to get more end of the year schoolwork done...

signs, signs, everywhere signs

(Please excuse the cheesy title) 

Day 5: signs

I had thought I would share pictures of "signs" I have in our bedroom that I love... but instead I had to share this picture:

cheap chardonnay in a mini-box... yum!

I'll share the other signs later, but for now I'm wondering: Is taking a picture with a mini-box a wine a sign that one might drink too much? Or maybe just that one has has a crazy couple days and needs to relax? I'm going to go with the latter, but ask me again after I'm done nursing (so in like a year from now...) and the answer might change.

It's almost hump day which means we're that much closer to the weekend. Yippee!

Are you THAT person? I am

Day 4: close-up

I can't resist pictures of this little munchkin. I obsessively take pictures of her and then look at them over and over. Then, I send them to others, like 10 times a day. Instagram has become my new favorite app.  I'm afraid I'm becoming that person- you know, the one who is constantly pulling out pictures of her kid and forcing people to look and say how cute the kid is. But, my kid really is sooo cute, don't you think?

Here's a couple more of my favorites, since- let's face it- I am that person!

Gahhhhhhhhh! Isn't she adorable?

Sunday Funday

Day 3: on your plate

snuggle time

Today is the last day of my maternity leave so I'm spending the day snuggling with the muchkin. I cannot believe how fast the time went by. My baby's 2 months already! I am so bummed to have to leave Olivia but glad to see my students again and finish the school year. The next couple weeks are going to be super busy- I go back to work, my wonderful mother-in-law comes to visit, baby showers, friends in town... but then it's summer break and I can relax again.

Empties

Day 2: empty 

baby, mama and papa's empty drinks

It used to be adult beverages but now it's "Mother's Milk" tea and water for us. 

Happy Saturday y'all!

Heidely-ho, neighbor!

So, after being a total blogstalker I finally broke down and created my own. Of course I now have to figure out what to blog about. While I'm coming up with ideas I'm going to be participating in a photo-a-day challenge since one thing I can do is take iPhone pictures! I'm going to follow the ideas I found here and here. Since I can't decide which list I like best I'm going to pick and choose from both. Who knows, maybe I'll even combine the two... 

Day 1: morning

isn't she just the sweetest thing ever?!?
