I miss my family

As I've gotten older and moved further away from my family I miss them more! This past week I was able to go home for an entire week. I should really say my family wanted me to come home so they could see the newest addition. Ella was way more popular than me:) But I love showing her off and getting to see her with my mom and dad (and everyone else). It's like I get to see me as a little girl in their eyes. I can tell the love they have for her is so different -- they are softies for her little self. 
We also got to see almost all of my other family members. Some of this weeks events...Cracker Barrel with Gammy and Popaw, Championship game for Isaac, late night talk with Donna and Eli, Dinner with Nana, Afternoon visit with Rita, Quality time with Papaw (my dad), loving on aunt Sam, Welcoming cousin Lillianne into the world, Pumpkin Patch with Yaya (my mom), the list could go on with the fun stuff we did with the fam. Awww I love my sweet family:)
Here recently I've really needed all of the support and love from my family since being out of work and having a new baby. It is these major moments in my life that make me a better person. I'm ready for whatever is around the corner and it helps knowing I have a wonderful support system cheering for me along the way.
Yay for family, new beginnings and babies (my pretty baby that is)!
Have a wonderful week and make sure to cheer on someone you love:)

A Tuesday Trend I wont be following...

Do you like your leather couch or leather jacket? Want to experience leather on your feet? Well now you can. Leather socks are the latest fashion trend.
WTH? I know.
I cant imagine wearing leather socks. I think my feet would sweat! And I can barely get a nice shirt to the cleaners more or less my socks.
Would you wear leather socks?

All the best.

Destined to be a star

I think I'm destined to be a stage mom. Ha!
Ella is the cutest little baby ever. I know I would think the same even if she was not so pretty but the honest truth is she is really a cutie pie.
So, the research has begun. How do you get in the biz. Showbiz that is. My baby is destined to be a star with this face. The current Gerber baby better watch out:)
Thanks to John's sister we are ahead of the game. She has set us up with an industry contact in Nashville. Also, we have found out that babies can't "work" until at least 4-6 months.

Our thoughts are that if she gets something great and the money will go towards college tuition and if she doesn't she is still the cutest little gal in our eyes:)

What are your thoughts on babies getting into the biz?

Here are some pictures of our cutie pa tootie:)

getting crafty!

I've been home on maternity leave and my life has changed just a bit. My day mostly consists of feeding, pumping, changing and staring at my little angel and then repeat. On the occasion I do get the random hour or so to do something for myself.
Since last year I have been inspired to start making baby gift items for friends. I guess I'm at the age where everyone is having a little one. I liked making things so much I just kept making them even when I didn't have anyone to give them to:)
Now I have a little diva of my own and I have been making more and more stuff. She can only have so much so I have decided to start selling some of the items I make on Etsy.

Recently Ive been making the big cute flower headbands and cute little onesies. 

Check out my recently added Etsy items. Check back often I'm adding items daily.

Also, recently I got an embroidery machine. I've been practicing so these items are coming soon!

All the best,

Baby will be here scheduled and on time...

It's official I am scheduled for a c-section on Friday, which means I will get to see Ella for the first time, which means I will be a mom, which means I'm a bundle of emotions:)

I've come to peace with a c-section months ago since I was told almost from the beginning it was a likely possibility due to my small frame and Johns large frame:)

I guess I am a little sad that I won't ever get to experience the OMG moments of going into labor, or my water breaking, or freaking out and panicking over getting to the hospital.

However, on the flip side I know exactly when she will be here and there will not be any surprises.

I really don't know what to expect after the surgery. Will I be tired, drugged  up, in major pain....
Everyone is different and I've heard so many stories.

If you have a c-section how was your experience? I would love to know:)


All the best,

Face Monday with a new agenda

Tired of the same 'ol routinue at work. Try making a rap some or a rhyming song about what you do. Check out this guy on Southwest airlines. He is taking it to new levels in the sky:)
This is too good.


I think I've got a couple lines...

Here's a try: (not sure of the beat yet)
Welcome to The A Group where our clients always stay
We like Churches, becuase they always pay and it's the Godly way!
If you are asking yourself What do you think Jesus would do? He would take his website straight to the a group crew!

We have programming wizards who have paved the way with genius skills that never stray.
Our designers are creative to where they are pretty much the best. They take client ideas....

Okay I've got a lot of work to still do:)

Happy Monday!
All the best,

My idea of dressing up these days...

Let me be honest, I'm counting the days before I have my sweet little angel and my selection of clothes is down to practically four shirts (which consists of my dresses as well) and three pairs of pants.

The only thing that I can actually dress my self up with is a fun pair of earrings. I love pretty, sparkly, dangly, wow look at those earrings kind of earrings!

It's the simple things that make me happy these days:) Like a pair of earrings!

Love these earrings....

On Etsy 
I love Green!

Love a cute pair of studs
