MINI DREWMANIA RECAP

MINI DREWMANIA RECAP


I wanted to do a quick little showing of Drew's Birthday Party!!

I do not have too many pictures because a friend of mine who is starting up a photography business was so kind to take pictures during the party for me which made my day so much less stressful!
My goodness, it was so nice!

If you are like me in any way about parties and like to have a gizzillion pictures and also would like to be in them and not spend the whole party trying to make sure you get the great pictures, but also try to enjoy the party at the same time (ahhhhh!!) , then I recommend contacting Danielle!

Here is her Facebook link:



This party was so fun to do!! 

I am so proud to say that I did everything myself!! I used to order cupcake toppers, water bottle labels, etc off of Etsy, but now between my Cricut and Photoshop I can now do these all by myself!!

I did, however, order the half bodies of the wrestlers and Drewmania chocolate bar covers from Party411. 

Can't wait to share the rest of the details with you!!

DREW TURNS 5!

DREW TURNS 5!


I can not believe it has been five years since I was blessed with the most amazing thing on Earth. 
I know I say that a lot, but I truly believe it from the bottom of my heart. 

Never could I have imagined five years ago that I would love this child even more than the day he was born. I love him more and more every single day. Who knew the heart could love this much?

He amazes me every single day. I can look at him and he just makes my heart tingle.

And who also knew that he would be this obsessed with the WWE?!?! My goodness, I have seen nothing like it!

We had to take a trip to St. Louis on his birthday for some family medical problems. So we got a hotel, which the boys love to do, and stayed for the night.

Dylan took along his floaties to swim at the hotel, but the hotel's pool was not open, so this bright little child decided to swim in the tub..



We celebrated Drew's birthday at the zoo!
We really had only been to the zoo one other time before and it was so cold, so it was nice to go on a nice day. The weather was perfect and it was a great day.

Drew became our little tour guide.




He was very excited to see both the elephants and penguins..



The boys had  GREAT time in the Children's Zoo!




And you can not visit the zoo without a train ride. This was their favorite part!


 Dylan sat in his seat with his little hands crossed the whole train ride. Is this all it takes to make him sit still?!?!

Once we got home from the zoo Drew decided he wanted to roast hot dogs and s'mores for dinner.
So, that is exactly what we did.


It was a perfect birthday for an amazing little boy! I can not wait to see how much he has grown up on his 6th Birthday!!

We celebrated his birthday a few days later with family and friends and I can't wait to do a recap of his party!!!

SWIMSUIT SHOPPING

SWIMSUIT SHOPPING


One of the most dreadful times of year: SWIMSUIT SHOPPING.
Well, at least for me anyways.
Can swim suit shops have models that are normal sizes because let's be honest: not every woman looks like Victoria Secret model.

A friend of mine just introduced me to this swimsuit shop on Etsy and I am in LOVE!

LUCY BEA SWIMWEAR

Her swimwear is very reasonably priced and so cute and unique as well.

I'm loving this one:


However, I have had two kids and my body is in no shape to be showing off my goods (or mostly bads) in a two piece...

So, I am digging this one as well....


And I am LOVING these bottoms...


If swimsuit shopping does not motivate you to lose weight, I don't know what does.

Why can't I be like these two little boys and not have a care in the world???




HAPPY SWIMSUIT SHOPPING!!!
