happy valentine's day

1. i don't go out of my way for valentine's day. i think its a hoopla holiday and think i should let my loved ones know that they are loved everyday.

 2. this is what kaylee passed out to her classmates.  i stenciled all the kids first initial and printed the word search. she did the rest. [stamped gold hearts, be my valentine and love, kaylee on it]

3. after eating lunch with kaylee, i had mike drive me to our only dunkin donuts for some heart shaped goodies.  the weather was so nice today that EVERYONE and their mom's were out =traffic!

4. some moron came to a complete stop in the middle of the road because he wanted to change lanes. mike tapped the horn which did nothing. i blasted that thing and it made them move. bam- thats how  its done!

5. i feel kinda bad that i didn't get ham anything for valentines day. he doesn't eat donuts anymore- where does he get the will power? and the girls wanted pizza for dinner so no homemade dinner for him.

6. i took kaylee to get a mani/pedi done when mike was out of town on tuesday as her valentine's day gift and i also got her a valentine's day book.

7. and i got mike these rad socks. i posted on fb and instagram: For my valentine, I gave him the Bird. thought that was hilarious! and clever.

8. kaylee has a friend over for a sleep over. [meredith] they have been face timing each other almost every night.

9. and yesterday she had a friend come over after school.

10. major change since the beginning of the school year when she was so sad because none of her friends were in her class. 

a busy friday for my little mind

my photo on instagram

1. today was a busy day and for once i didn't feel like i had to take a nap even though i probably could of used one.

2. i've been going to bed after 11:30 thinking i would stay asleep while mike gets ready in the mornings. i've come to terms that he's just a loud person. [loud taking a shower, loud getting coffee, loud walker in his shoes, loud shutting the doors]

3. after dropping kaylee off at school, i decided that i should probably make paper goodies for the handmade valentine swap because thats what others are doing and postage would be cheaper.

4. so i took off for wal-mart since it was on the same side of town as schlotsky's. i ended up with mini pens for kaylee's valentine goodies and some chai tea and a pair of socks. its still cold here.

5. after lunch, i headed to michaels and grabbed a few more valentine themed items and a birthday present for kaylee's friend. [that's where kaylee is at the moment. they're taking 11 girls to see the new lego movie]

6. once i got home, i STILL couldn't come up with anything so i decided to bite the shipping bullet and send what i already made. hope they are worthy!

7. my beautiful purse came in today.  its got plenty of room for my planner and my big camera.  now its not waterproof but at least it doesn't scream "camera bag!" [i did not pay that much for it. i found one on sale plus i got to use my reward points]

8. i really need to clean and organize the house, again.

9. i also need to finish painting ham's bedroom and bathroom. i just need to finish painting.

10. no big plans for the weekend. just the cleaning and organizing which is okay. we/i really need to quit spending money.

boring week and i MADE dinner tonight!

1. she's face timing a friend while watching tv and coloring pictures for her "store".

2. i've been busy this week going back and forth to hobby lobby and michaels TRYING to come up with a valentine's day card ideas that i'm suppose to make for a handmade valentine's swap due tomorrow!

3. my crafting mojo is stuck in a major brain fart so i had to buy a martha stewart card kit BUT i did stain small boxes and stenciled doilies and added some chocolates and heart shaped stickers.

4. i'll take pics before i mail them out tomorrow. i really need to quit doing swaps. it costs too much and i should be making stuff for my faraway friends.

5. i finally got my personal size filofax in green and liking it though its a little small.

6. its perfect though for medical info., appointments and what i've made for meals so i can go back and see what i've haven't made in awhile. plus it will fit perfectly in my new purse that i'm getting tomorrow.

7. the big planner will stay home and be more of a journal with pretty doodles.

8. other than that, its been a boring week. 

9. it snowed this morning. even though the snow melted before noon, it was still cold! 

10. holla- i MADE dinner tonight! parmesan crusted chicken and crashed potatoes. after making it, i realized we needed something else to go with it- a salad or something green. next time.

brain dumping tuesday

1. she wore this cute outfit last monday. i bought her that skirt 2 years ago and it finally fits her tiny waist- barely.

2. friday after eating lunch with kaylee at school, mike and i had a date. he drove me to ikea and we bought some stuff for kaylee's room. [she was going over to a friend's house after school]

3. then we went to saltgrass for some steaks and potatoes. and hit target + specs liquor store afterwards. [had to buy some ingredients for super bowl sunday]

4. ham came home friday night. he had a haircut appointment saturday. went back to his apartment saturday after i fed him dinner. [korean bbq with rice]

5. while i was making everyone's plates he asked me why i was so angry. i told him because everyone was getting on my nerves! [everyone was talking to me at once which just means noise to me]

6. we went over to our neighbor/friends house for super bowl. she made SO much food! mike brought beer and i brought a drink for us girls called fish bowl. it was yummy.

7. the bad part about me not cooking, there are no leftovers for us to munch on later.

8. and how horrible was super bowl? my only highlight was watching the red hot chili peppers at half time even though they only got to play one song.

9. thats on my bucket list btw, to see them in concert.

10. i signed up for a handmade valentine swap and of course i have no idea what to make. well, i have lots of ideas but don't know how to turn it into a card.

you light up my life

how cute is this?
