I Gots......

Nothing.... Yea, a whole lot of nothing. It's been kind of tough for me to come up with stuff to blog about this week. I'm not sure if you have noticed that in my posts or not. Seems that you have considering I haven't had ANY comments AT ALL. Come on, am I THAT boring?! I had something for every day this week. I think I deserve credit for that! As you know from my Monday post, Hubs and I quit smoking. And today is day 5! I am doing GREAT! Husband....he's at the snacking stage. Because it's really hard after dinner to not go outside and have a cigarette....so he snacks. But, somehow we've both lost weight this week! I lost 1.6 lbs, and he lost like 1.5 or something. That puts my weight loss total up to 15 lbs! I cannot believe it! So that means I have 3 more lbs to go! I'm hoping that I can get those 3 lbs off in the next 2 weeks. That would be amazing. And then the new Weight Watchers session starts, and I would just be able to maintain. I'll be the first to "graduate". Yay!!! I am pretty excited about that.Alright, so enough about me. I guess I'm finding more and more stuff to write about, huh?We are taking Chloe to see the Easter Bunny this weekend...yea, that will be a post all in itself for next week. Just wait, you shall see.....I'm a little scared. She HATED Santa.....so I'm not looking forward to how she's going to react to EB this year. Last yea, she did Amazing!! She kind of put her finger in her mouth and just looked at us kind of confused. LOL! It was cute! And I really wish that I could find the picture from last year, but for some reason it's not on my FB page...so I'm sorry about that. I'll be sure to post the new one on my Monday post!Our company is starting to plan for our big move in the next couple of weeks. When we first heard of it, it wasn't supposed to happen until August. But rumors have been flying that our building is sold. So, we're going to be moving in the next 2 months.....so that's interesting. So, this past week we have been cleaning out stuff like crazy!!! So, it's kind of exciting.Well, that's all I'm going to write for today.I'm pretty excited for lunch time because there is a new Mediterranean restaurant that is about a mile from my work, and I'm really looking forward to try it today! So, I'll let you know how that goes!Thanks, Loves! 

Oh How Pinteresting

I haven't been the best about pinning or even looking at Pinterest much lately. But....I did pin this recipe because it was just fabulous!

You can see the pin here: http://pinterest.com/pin/166633254932755997/

It was absolutely fabulous! It was SO good that I took it to work for lunch the following day! YUM!!

And then, THIS....this I want to try to make this weekend. I might go to the store on Friday and get the stuff that way I can eat it Saturday morning.

Apple Cinnamon Refrigerator Oatmeal

Now, not food....

These are like amazing. Coming from a glasses wearing girl

For Chloe's new room when we move....I'm thinking this.

And, where they have the black and white, I think I would do zebra print. Ahhh....wouldn't that be amazing!?

Well, Ladies, I think that's about it for now.

Till next time.

So What! Wednesday!

I can't believe that it's that time again.....it's already Wednesday. So, here we are again, linking up with Shannon over at Life After I "Dew".This week I'm saying So What! If:

• I went to Target on Sunday while Husband was golfing and spent a little money....put my debit card down to $23.00....ooops. Well, at least the Tot will get fed. LOL!
• Chloe is a freak. Seriously. Made her some fish sticks on Monday night. She ate 1/2 of one and then wouldn't touch them. So, for some reason, I peeled the breading off one and gave it to her, and OMG, she couldn't get enough. Girl LOVED them!!! So, now I know. She likes fish sticks without the breading. LOL!
• I've gained the past 2 weeks at Weight Watchers weigh in. I'm actually kind of feeling really good about this week. I feel like I've kept the snacking at an all time low and I've been doing good with the choices that I've been making. So lets hope for the best.
• I have a feeling losing weight is going to be EVEN harder now, since I quit smoking. So, me and the Treadmill, we might have to meet again. UGh.
• I've decided that with giving up cigarettes, I'm going to become a wino. Or something that has to do with alcohol. It makes me feel better, and anything is better then smoking, right?
• I bought Chloe some Old Navy flip fops. But the smallest they had was a 5, and my poor girl has the worlds smallest feet. So I'm hoping they will fit her come July when we go to Maine.....she's barely into a 4.5 right now. LOL!

Well, girls. I think that's about it for this week. Make sure to go link up with Shannon over at L.A.I.D!! You know she rocks your socks!!!

Birthday #2

Being that Chloe is going to turn 2 in just 5 short months, I need to start thinking...and FAST! Her first birthday snuck up on me, and we literally just kind of threw it together. I want her 2nd birthday to look and feel like I've been planning it since she was 12 months and 1 day old!I want there to be yummy food and yummy desserts, and most of all yummy drinks!I need some major ideas as far as themes go. I'm not sure if I want to do Princess, or Sesame Street....or just throw some cute colors together and decorate accordingly. I really need to start doing some research.When it comes to research, Pinterest has been my best friend. When I have to time to browse it. I've been able to find some cute things. But I'm not sure which way I really want to go. Chloe LOVES Elmo....LOVES! So I was kind of thinking of doing a Sesame Street theme...but that's not really girly enough for me. For her first birthday we did pink and zebra theme. But like I said above, we literally just threw it together. We didn't really plan any of it. So this year, it has to be different. I want it to be amazing. And most of all, I really want to be moved into and comfortable in our new house by then too. That will make things MUCH easier to deal with. We will have a much bigger house to have our family and friends over. And a much bigger space to be able to decorate how I want. And a much bigger more spacious space to have the food and drinks that I am imagining in my head. You know how like when you have a vision in your head, and that's all you can think of? And then when you start to pull things together, it's not perfect until your vision completely comes out and is pulled together? Yea, that's how I'm feeling about this. It's like, I am envisioning how I want to decorate a house that we're not even living in yet. It's crazy! But I can see everything in my head. I know that I want to do streamers. I know that I want to hang balloons from the ceiling. I know that I want to have a Happy Birthday banner. And then obviously, if we have some sort of Theme....whether is be Sesame Street or Princess or something, we will have the plates and even the matching cake. So....we shall see what I can come up with.If you have any ideas, I am open to ideas!! And I will post blogs with ideas as I come across them. Thanks for the help ladies!

We're done Smoking

Husband and I have made the great decision to quit smoking. And today is that day! We smoked our last few smokes last night...and we're done. It's been time for a long time now.We used to be full time smokers for 10 years. Both of us. And that doesn't make me sound very good. If you do the math correctly, that means I was a smoker since I was just 13 years old. We both quit the summer before I got pregnant. The real reason we quit was because Husband thought he was having a heart attack and had be rush him to the hospital one morning. After that, we were DONE! And then we decided to have a baby...so obviously we never started back up. Until that one infamous day called Chloe's first birthday. We had all our friends and family over, and had a great time. With all the drinking going on, and a lot of the friends and family smoking....well. That made it kind of hard for us. Even though it had been over 2 years since our last one...Once the family left, there was a few friends left. And then we noticed that someone left a half pack of smokes on the counter. UGH, are you kidding me!? THAT totally sucks. We would have been FINE if it wasn't for that damn half pack of smokes. We kind of looked at each other like, Oh, NO! Are you serious?! And then we searched high and low for a lighter and lit up! And we have been smoking every day since that day. So it's been 7 months. I told Husband that I really wanted to quit before we started moving. And with Chloe getting older, I don't like her seeing up smoke. It's not a good look, and it's a bad thing to let her see. She would start to think that it's ok. That's NOT good.So, that's it! We're done. No more! Buh Bye Marlboro Ultra Lights! I won't miss you! You haven't been good to me....you aren't healthy for me. And I don't ever want to meet you again.Love,

My New Goal

I have decided to change my weight loss goal to 120 instead of 115. After much thought and consideration, I feel like 115 was just too low for me and wasn't a realistic number to be able to maintain easily. Right now I'm at 124 and my pre preggo jeans fit me like a dream! I look 100% better already then I did a few months ago when I was 129 lbs. My tummy is smaller, my thighs are smaller....it's just amazing! I've kind of hit a plateau, and I've gained a little bit the past few weeks. Only a total of about a pound though. So no worries. Husband is done with school for 2 weeks now, so we're going to start a little work out routine every night. I think that will help me to get my body back to weight loss mode. I haven't really changed anything about the way that I've been eating. So I might have to do something about that as well. I don't eat bad, but I haven't really been keeping up with My Fitness Pal. So that's something that I'll have to bring back into my life. I usually do breakfast and lunch, but when it comes to dinner, I usually totally forget. So I must get better at that. I have about 3 weeks left of WW before the new session starts, and I would LOVE to be able to get to my 120 goal before it ends. So that I can start to just maintain. That would be nice. And once I get down to my 120 I will post some goal set pictures. I can't wait to see what that 4 lbs looks like on me. It's going to feel amazing to be back to the weight I was at when I got pregnant. I recently found a picture of me the summer before I got pregnant in Florida. We went to Ft Myers Beach. We didn't get into all the crazy commotion with all the drunken college kids on spring break though. As fun as it looked, we were more in the mood for just relaxing on our beach chairs and chatting amongst ourselves. That was more then we could have asked for.Here are a few of those pictures.

Don't mind the quadruple  chin in the one on the left...that's a horrible angle!
But seriously, HOTNESS, right? I was probably somewhere between 120-122 in those pictures. I was on weight watchers, and it worked wonders on me....so THAT'S what I want to look like again this summer....well. I know that's a long shot because of the awful stretchmarks battle scars, but I can deal with those as long as the tummy is flat! So, here's to hoping that I'll be sporting THOSE bikinis this summer!! We shall see!

Still in Love

With our new house, that is. We saw it yesterday for the first time since we put the offer in. And yep....I still love it. We actually went into a different house that came back on the market before we went in the one we have the offer in on. It was OK....but I didn't love it. And neither did Husband. Then we went to our new house, and we felt just the same as the first time we saw it...and even loved it a little more. The house is almost completely empty. The homeowners have cleaned it out and took everything. They are almost all moved out. So that was good to see it empty so that we could get some ideas as to what we would want to do with it. I am pretty sure I have chosen which room I want to make Chloe's. There are 2 rooms that are almost the exact same size. One is just a little different because of the way the door is. And I think that's the one that I want to make into Chloe's big girl room....and I am pretty sure I have decided on how I want to decorate. I'm thinking pink/white walls. And Zebra bedding/accents. What do you think?As for the Master, the closet isn't as big of a walk-in as I would like to have. But it's bigger then what we have now. And both of our clothes will fit into one room. So that's going to be great! Right now I have the closet in our bedroom. (and I can't fit all of my clothes in it) And Husband uses half of Chloe's closet and some pants in the breezeway and his work clothes in our hallway closet which also houses both of our "dressy clothes". The way the closet is in the new house is actually quite nice. It's kind of like a little hallway to the master bath. One side of the hallway is the walk-in part, and the other side is shelf space. So we will share both sides. The walk in will be for what we will hang up. He will take one side and I'll take the other, and we can also fit a tall dresser in there for undies, socks and the such. And then the shelf space will be for jeans, sweatshirts and whatever else we can fold up to store. I think the one thing I can't wait for is to be able to store shoes in the closet. Instead of having a hanging shoe tree on the back of the door in the kitchen that is in our breezeway right now. Ugh, sooooo annoying! So, that's going to be nice!Chloe's room also has a nice big french door style closet. And it's so big that I'll be able to put her little cubby thing IN it. And that will leave room for more TOYS!!! Yay!!! And since all the bedrooms are upstairs, that means that toys won't be strewn all over the living room. I mean, obviously there will be toys down there, but not half as bad as it is now. Cannot wait for that! And then the basement is half finished. The walls are all done, and half of it is carpeted. So we will just need to finish the carpeting. We're going to make half of it a play area for Chloe, and then the other half a work out/TV/game room. That's going to be fun. We will probably put some of Husband's framed sports pictures down there as well as in the library (room off the foyer that we will turn into the study).Well, girls....that's about it. Other then the rooms I've talked about, we have the dining room, kitchen, family room (with fireplace) and 2 other bedrooms upstairs that we will need to decorate. I can't wait until we get to go back in it so that I can take some pics to post for you to see. The house is a mess right now. There is nothing in it, but the carpet is trashed and it needs a deep top to bottom clean. We will worry about all the when we close.I can't wait to get started!!!

SO What! Wednesday!

Can you believe that it's already the end of March?! I can't!!! It seriously feels like the end of July the way this crazy weather has been. But I'm not complaining! We've been getting outside as much as humanly possible. And Chloe couldn't be more happy!!!So, here we go again. Another Wednesday means another week to say SO WHAT! to!Linking up with Shannon over at Life After I "Dew"! This week I'm saying So What if:

• Chloe has Pink Eye....again. But it hasn't slowed her down. AT ALL!!! She's been awesome!
• Up until yesterday, Chloe had NO spring/summer clothes. But Daddy came through with a very successful shopping trip to Once Upon A Child. He got 15 things for $47!! So, just a few more shopping trips, and Chloe should be good to go!
• We're still waiting on our short sale....it's seems like it's taking forever, but in reality, it's only been a month.
• With this weather being so nice, I haven't had much time or patience to sit down and blog. But, I've manged to come up with some good stuff....JUST FOR YOU!
• My girl Mallory JUST got a smart phone. Yes, I'm proud of her for it, and I thought I would share!
• I'm looking forward to Husband going golfing on Sunday so I can have a Mommy Daughter day with my girl! I can't wait! Any ideas on what we can do?!
• I'm sporting leggings as pants today with the lightest possible top I could find because it's Weight Watchers weigh in day. I gained last week, and I'm no longer bleeding (TMI) so I'm hoping to lose at LEAST 1 lb!!!
• I took my jeans off to weigh in last week. I don't care. I knew that I was going to gain due to Aunt Flo in town...and the jeans would just add to that gain.
• I've tried to keep up with The Secret Circle...but for some reason, it's just not doing it for me anymore. I dunno what the deal is.
• Knowing that I have to plan for a 2nd birthday party AND moving around the same time is going to make me go cray cray! I don't know how I'm going to handle all that. I just hope that the bank doesn't decide to close the week that we go to Maine. I mean, if they do...we'll work with it....but, just pray for us. LOL!

Well, I think that's about it for this week. Head on over to Shannon's little piece of the web to link up with her!!

Pink Eye

And that's not referring to some super cute eye shadow. Nope. Chloe woke up Saturday morning with her eye almost completely glued shut with green gunk. We've noticed it being a little red the past few days, and she's developed a little bit of a cough. Only at night though. So, we took her in. Yep, she's got a bit of a cold, which in turn gave her pink eye. Wonderful. So here we are again...back to the eye drops 3 times a day for 7 days. Great!Oh, the joys of having a Toddler in Day Care. It's just awesome. But you know what....there is a bright side to this craziness. The way Husband sees it. I would love to stay home with her so that she's not always surrounded by the runny nose ickiness of the other kids. BUT, because she's getting all this shit now, she is going to have the best toughest immune system once she gets into Kindergarten! So, that makes me feel just a little bit better about all this.So, we got her script filled at Target. (the pharmacists seriously know us there now. And because we're there so often, they suggested that we sign up for the script rewards program. How effed up is that?! Well, we did. So for every 5 scripts we gets filled, we will get like 5% off every single thing we buy for a whole day. LOL! Doesn't sound like a lot, but I guess it's something to give us back with all the $$ we're spending on gosh damn scripts for all of us. Seems like every other weekend we're at the Pediatrician or urgent care. Whatever, I guess that just comes with the territory, right?Chloe is doing really well, considering. She doesn't seem to be slowed down by the Pink Eye/Cold. All she wanted to do this weekend was go outside and play. Fine by us! We were loving it!!! She kept grabbing her coat (obviously she didn't need it) and her shoes and bringing them to us. She would hold them in front of her and say "soooes" So cute!!! Love that girl!Here are a few pictures from this weekend. I just couldn't resist.

This is from Saturday. Her St. Patty's Day green was her Michigan State Cheerleader outfit!

This is Sunday Morning. She wanted to go outside soooo bad! She was trying to put her jacket on.

And this is her cute little butt....we were getting ready for bath time Sunday night. She wanted to go back outside. LOL!

Can I say one thing??? Do you see how long her hair is?! Oh My Gosh! Girl has Momma's hair! Grows like a weed!!!!!

You know it's Monday when....

I know it's a little late for this, but I'm just sitting down getting to read up on my blogs, and I came across this!So, I couldn't help but link up with Bunnie @ My Life comes with fine Print!You know it's Monday when....

-Yep, my hair was TOTALLY in a side bun today. Didn't even dry it. Just put some Orofluido in it and bunched it up still wet.
-To top off the wet messy bun, I could only muster up some eyeliner and mascara for makeup.
-I felt the need for that EXTRA cup o' Joe today....yea, it was completely necessary!
-Literally almost fell asleep at the computer quite a few times today.
-Went to work with a stiff neck. Yea, that just added to this wonderful day we call Monday.

So, how do YOU know that it's Monday??

Worthless Post for a Monday

Guys, don't be mad, but I didn't have any time to blog this weekend! It was SOOOO nice outside, and we had to take Chloe to the doc for Pink Eye (post to come this week)...and then spent practically every waking minute outside. So I just didn't feel the blogging love this weekend. Not you, it's me! I promise. I have a few drafts created, so tonight I have to go in and put the final touches on them. Till then.....how was your weekend? Did you drink lots of green beer and dance with some Leprechauns? Tell me your stories! I'd love to hear them!!

Happy St Patty's Day Weekend!!

Since this weekend is St Patty's Day, I thought I would write a little bit of randomness. I'm not Irish. But isn't everybody on this fantastic day of green beer and drunken shenanigans? I remember the days of being able to go out and do nothing but be crazy, scream and run around like a crazy person. Go to the bar at 9am and wear green bead necklaces with shot glasses on it. Wear some funny green glittery shamrock headbands....oh, those were the days. I'm actually going to be doing JUST THAT this fabulous Friday at work. (well...minus the whole drinking green beer thing)

My work is doing a Green Contest. Whoever can rock the green the best will get some kind of prize. I'm going to do my best to win this. I have the shamrock headband, I have the green beads, I have a green tank that I will be layering to make work appropriate. I have some bomb ass green eye shadow...and I plan to rock that shit like I'm 21 going to the bar at 9am! And, I'm pretty excited. I'll be rocking the green on Saturday too...but we aren't going to be going to the bar. Which kind of bums me out. But that's ok. It should be nice enough outside, so we can just take Chloe to the park and be good parents. LOL!!! Not that parents that are getting babysitters to go to the bar are bad. They are just LUCKY! I envy YOU! I wish that we could do that. It's ok. Maybe next year.And just as a side note. I've been looking for something cute for Chloe to wear on St Patty's Day. But haven't been able to find anything. Target has NOTHING. Like, why couldn't I have found something like this??

I found a few little boy shirts. But I refuse to buy that for Chloe. I want a cute girly shirt with like shamrocks or something on it. I guess I'll just have to settle on a Michigan State shirt for Friday....and then I'll go to the GOOD Target that's by my work on Friday after work and see if they have anything. And if not then I'll have to go to Kohls....She MUST have a cute green outfit to wear on Saturday. SHE MUST! And I promise to have some cute pics of her wearing this cute green outfit for you to goo and gaaa over on Monday!
So, to all you who will be celebrating St Patty's Day with some green beer at the bar all day long. Have fun and be safe!!!Top O' The Mornin' To Ya!

Oh, and I found this on Pinterest, and just had to share.

HEHE!! Happy St Patty's Day, Ya'll!!!

xoxo

Time to Mingle

Linking up on the Happy Go Lucky blog hop today! Go check out Kara and link up!!!

Feeding my Toddler

Every once in awhile, Chloe goes through this stage where she just doesn't want to eat very much. Makes this mamma CRAY CRAY! I know that she is getting enough to eat. I know that she isn't starving. She LOVES breakfast food. She gobbles up everything in her sight in the morning. Anything from Waffles, pancakes, mandarin oranges, peaches and pears and bananas. She LOVES LOVES LOVES it! One thing I tried awhile back, (like before she was 1) was oatmeal, and she did NOT like it. She does this thing when she doesn't like something. She tried it, and then scrunches her nose and sticks her tongue right out and just lets whatever it is fall off her tongue. It's quite funny, but very frustrating at the same time. And that's what she did with the oatmeal. But I have the urge to try it again...in hopes that she will LOVE it this time. So we shall see how that goes. That's going on the grocery list for this weekend.What kills me is that according to our Day Care, Chloe eats like a freakin champ! I just don't get it. I try to give her the same things at home, but she just won't go for them. On Chicken Nugget day, they usually say that she takes seconds. But at home, it's a hit or miss if she even eats 1! What gives?! Is it maybe because she has then once a week at day care, so she just wants something different? Maybe...I don't know. She attends a Catholic Day Care, so they get fish every Friday. So sometimes I feel bad giving that to get on the weekends. When I do, it's a crap shoot with that too. Sometimes she loves it, sometimes she hates it. It's weird.One thing that is never a fail is any kind of fruit or veggie. Girl LOVES her some strawberries, kiwi, banana, broccoli, carrots, peas, green beans, corn. She loves it all! But I know that she needs more then just those things in her diet. And I can't always rely on that stuff. I think Husband and I are going to try pb&j for the first time this weekend to see how she likes it. We've gotten so many different things from everybody on whether or not to give it before the age of 2. Our Ped says absolutely not until 2. But others say, as long as she hasn't shown any other allergy to other foods, then she's good to go. Chloe's been good as far as all the other food allergies. So, I think we're gonna go for it. We don't see the ped again until 21 months. And if she asks about it, obviously, we will tell the truth and say that she's been fine with it. When she was a lot younger. Like less then 12 months, we gave her fish, and they freaked out, but she did fine with it, and loved it the second she tasted it. So booya to that! LOL!So, ladies, here is where you come in. I need your help! What are some go to foods that you use for your toddlers? Quick meal ideas? Things that your tots go gaga over?! I need as many ideas as I can get. I'm at a loss.  Thanks girls! I really appreciate your help with this! 

So What! Wednesday!

Linking up with Shannon over at L.A.I.D for another rendition of SO WHAT! Wednesday!This week I'm saying SO WHAT! if:

• I have eaten cake twice in the past week. Once for my birthday and again for  a girl at work. 
• I took Chloe to Kohls last week. At the checkout counter they had a display of stuffed animals. She picked up this duck....and started tugging at my leg...oh, alright. How can I say no...LOL! Chloe has a new ducky.

• We went to Target on Sunday, and Chloe got her Easter outfit AND a new pair of doggy slippers. She loves them, and I couldn't pass up $4.50 clearance! And Chloe wouldn't let me take them away from her. LOL

• We rock out in the car! Chloe loves it! See.....

• We gave Chloe a frozen waffle because we thought she was teething. She LOVED it!!

I think that's all for now. Head over to Shannon Dew's page to link up!

What a difference 6 lbs makes!

As you know, I've been slowly losing my baby weight. It's been a tough road full of a lot of temptations. Of course I'm not perfect, and I've given into a lot of them. But moderation is key. And you have to live by that! It's a must! Having an 18 month old daughter doesn't make it any easier. She eats, and I want to eat. She snacks and I want to snack right along with her. But I always tell myself this one little thing that my Mom has always told me since I've been trying to lose this weight. The first bite tastes JUST like the last....so you only need 1! And let me tell you. That's helped me tremendously. It's something that I live by now. And when I see those damn DQ commercials for Blizzards....ugh, just sign and change the channel....it's all I can do. One thing I can say is that I REALLY want a damn Shamrock Shake from McDonald's. I have made a promise to myself this week that I will do my best to decline all temptation this week and only eat what I'm supposed to and NOTHING more. And Wednesday, after I weigh in at Weight Watchers, I will stop after work and get one and share it with Chloe. And that will be it! No more for the rest of the season! I have to stick to this if I want to lose the rest of my weight and get down to my goal of 115 lbs. I weighed in last Wednesday at 123.8. So...I'm getting there. Slowly. I have less then 10 lbs to go. And I just know that I can do it. So, without further adieu, I have made a collage of myself for you to see how big of a difference 6 pounds makes! It's crazy to see the side by side comparison! But, I tell you what, I love looking at it!

Like....are you seriously kidding me?! Do you see that stomach, and that BUTT?! Omg, I love it! And let me tell you....so does the Hubs! And I'm not stopping there! I will post a goal post when I reach my 115 lbs. I'm hoping it won't be too much longer. Like I said. I need to focus and just stay on track. It's definitely helping to have to weigh in every week at Weight Watchers. It makes me more aware of the things I'm putting in my mouth. It's amazing!Wish me Luck!!

Chloe's 18 Month Pics

There are 100 pictures. So I couldn't possibly post them all. So, these are just some of my MOST favorites! Love my girl. She is a natural model!!

Weekend Blog Hop

Starting this weekend off right with a blog hop!!!

You know the drill! You like me, comment and follow and I'll follow back!Thanks for stopping by!

Chloe's Favorite Things

I never did one of these posts when Chloe was little, well, cuz I didn't have a blog then. So, Since she's a big 18 months now, and she has an opinion on the kind of cups she uses and what she eats...I figure I'll give her the reigns on this blog post. I'm going to show you all of Chloe's favorite things!

We will star off with Sippy's...she's very particular. She only uses a certain kind for water and a certain kind for milk. If you mix then up, she won't drink it. Girl is nutso!

These are her Water Sippy's. She's got like 4 of them. All different. And she loves them! They are insulated and never have any problems with leaks! Mamma Approved!!

And these are what she calls "Miwl" I think that's what it sounds like anyways...lol! That's what she calls milk. No idea what the difference in these was to the others is, but she just loves her milk out of these. So, that's how we do things around here.

Next on the list is Utensils. We aren't very particular on those, but I know what I like, so that's what I buy.

These have always been my favorite! More so then those Gerber ones with the metal handle and rubber spoon. Yuck. I never liked those! I bought these, and never turned back!

And I really like these because the fork is soooo easy for Chloe to grasp and feed herself! It's short and fat. So it makes self feeding really easy for her.

Now, onto snack time. Chloe's favorite! Of course. What toddler doesn't like snacks??

These are what we like to use in the car. They {somewhat} keep the mess to a minimum and Chloe has a ball trying to get her little hand in and out. She laughs....she's weird!

She's OBSESSED with puffs...I know it's like a baby baby treat...but she still loves them and begs for them when we go to the store. So, she still gets them. I don't care. I'll buy then for her until she's 16 if she wants them! LOL!

These are another one of those, yea, she ate them when she was like 8 months old, but she just never stopped. We've continued to buy them, and she loves them.

And, THESE! Girl LOVES these! These are her all time favorite snacks EVER! She goes CRAZY when she sees them! Nutso!

Of course she loves her Cheerios too! 

Chloe loves these yogurts too! We get all the flavors for her. Even the ones that are just meant for crawlers. Chick totally digs em!

Now, I feel like I should let you know. Chloe DOES get human food. Like MOST of the time. All the Gerber things, we just keep in the house because she likes them, and they are quick and easy on the road and whatnot!

Lastly, for food stuff. Obviously with the exception of real food that she gets most of the time....

Chloe likes these. There are some times where she won't eat what we make or if we go over to Grandma's and Grandpa's house, we just bring these along and it's an easy, quick dinner for her. And she really likes them. And they are really easy for her to feed herself!

So there you have it. Some of our go to items for Chloe that she loves, no matter what. We can always count on our Gerber items. We've used them since the day she was born, and it's been a tried and true brand!
