Friday Letter's

Dear Mother-In-Law, you are truly amazing for changing your plans just to be able to watch Chloe for us while we go out for an afternoon on October 7th! I'm so grateful to have you in ours and Chloe's life! Dear Scentsy, I have only been selling for less then 2 months, but I'm almost at my $1,000 goal, and I already have 1 recruit, who also already has a recruit AND I might be getting another recruit from the party I have in October! Dear Andy, You are an amazing father and Husband and you are rocking it out, making this house into a home! It's coming together so good and I love you so much! Dear Chloe, Thank you for NOT being a train wreck when it comes to turning 2!! I've heard some horror stories, and we have yet to experience anything out of the normal, Toddler, I'm tired/cranky times! And for that, I'm truly thankful!! Dear Tiffany, Thank you for another GREAT blog design! I promise you this time this one is staying!!! I Absolutely LOVE it!!!

Last Night

Sorry for my lack of blogging today, but I just got downstairs after getting ready for my day and realized that I didn't have anything scheduled for today. I was out last night....it was for an ACS fundraiser for my work. I didn't get home until 10pm!! On a Wednesday, OMG, RIGHT?
Anyways, it was a fun night! Drinks and food and comedy with my work girls! Couldn't have asked for a better night out....but today?? Well, I'm sporting a wet hair, bun, and I'm sitting here hoping that this sounds good when I'm finished typing it because I know that I have to go wake Chloe up in about 2 minutes.
So there you have it, I blogged, not very good, not very interesting, but I did it! I hate leaving my blog un-written for a day. It just bugs me! So, if I didn't post this, I would have been frantic at work all day trying to come up with something else just as shitty as this.
Enjoy!

SO WHAT! Wednesday!

This week I'm saying SO WHAT! if:

• I worked out last night. I did NOT want to, but I did it....
• I'm going out tonight. Yep, Wednesday night! It's actually a work event for ACS! Comedy Club. Yep, I'm pretty excited about this!
• I haven't been keeping track of what I eat all week.....and I.DON'T.CARE!
• I started getting back into Pinterest after a few months of not really paying attention. And now I want to make every single dessert and crock pot recipe I can find!!
• I was drinking Vi Shakes, but then I stopped...they didn't work for me.
• I'm totally considering letting day care potty train Chloe when she's 2.5! Just because I don't feel like dealing with it. Unless she shows signs of interest before then.

That's it for me, hop on over to Life After I "Dew" and link up!

Hello, and Welcome Fall!

I think fall just might be 1 of my favorite seasons!! I say that lightly though, because I do love Spring and Summer too! Bahahaha, sorry Winter, I don't like you!!
Anyways, Fall....yes! It's finally Fall time! Time for long sleeves and jeans and hoodies. Time for fancy Starbucks drinks and hay rides and cider and donuts at the cider mill. Time for the leaves to start changing and the weather to get a bit more chilly. Time to start carving pumpkins and start thinking about what the little ones are going to be for Halloween! Time for fresh pumpkin seeds and the smells of the amazing fall Scentsy scents to be filling the homes! Time for Apple and Pumpkin desserts to go in the oven, and of course time for Football and Thanksgiving!
I love Fall!

And of course we can't forget about Fall TV!!! I cannot wait for Vampire Diaries to start!!!! Eeeeeek!

Work Event

Every year we have this event in October. In the past it's been the Tiffany Awards, which if you are a hair dresser you know, that's the Hairdresser of the year Awards. Not sure if this is just a Michigan thing or what.  But my work hosts it. So it's pretty fun! So, anyways....this year, it's a bit different. It's being held at Sound Board at Motor City Casino and it's called Beauty Buzz! So....with that being said, it's a dressy event, and I need a new dress...We went to Macy's yesterday and I got this!!

I love this sooooo much! Now I just need a pair of heels!

We will Always Remember

How was your weekend?

I know it's Tuesday and I should have posted about my weekend yesterday, but I didn't. Honestly, because we did a whole lot of nothing, and I have NOTHING else to write about today....sad, but true. I'm at a total loss for words.
Our weekend consisted of some shopping. We bought some new curtains for our family room. We bought a new piece for Chloe's wall, and also a new hamper for Chloe's room, and one for our room too. Saturday we had lunch at Olga's....seriously one of my favorite places! And then Sunday we ordered in from a local pizza place and I got a chicken cesear calzone. Now, THAT was good!!!! Yummo!!!!!
This weekend we're supposed to be going to the Toledo Zoo to meet up with Shannon, her Hubs and Little Miss KP! That is if her Hubs doesn't have to work! So, here's hoping! Seriously, it's going to be absolutely perfect zoo weather!

Well, ladies....that's all I have for you right now. Hope everyone has a good rest of your Tuesday!

Big Girl Bed

Just under a week ago I said that I wasn't ready to turn Chloe's bed into a Full size bed. But the more I think about it, the more I think it would be just fine! She's been doing GREAT in her toddler bed! She's been in it since she was about 18 months, or so.....and well, changing her to a Full would mean we get new bedding AND that we get to FINALLY do her bedroom. So that really makes me excited!!
So, here's what I'm thinking....

We already bought a hot pink hamper for her room, so that's done....and all her furniture is white, so it's going to be perfect!! We bought a really cute wall hanging with the "dream" definition on it. So the "theme" of the room will be zebra but with pink and green accents. That's only because we already have her cubby thing with the pink and green drawer things in it. So we're not going to change that.

I think it's going to be great! And I cannot wait! And we're still going to paint her room....only now that we're going to do the zebra, I might just do pink and white instead of the pink and green....that might look better.
