Say Hello!

1. My morning routine is pretty simple....yet it always seems to get hectic.

• I wake up at 5:30, take a shower
• I make sure my shower doesn't last any longer then 10 minutes....I'm a very punctual person
• I get out and put deodorant on, then face cream, then brush my teeth
• Then, if I decide to wear make up, I put that on next
• Once makeup is on, I take my towel off my head and put product in my hair
• Brush my hair out, and then I get dressed.
• Dry my hair
• Put perfume on
• Go wake up Chloe...by this time, it's no later then 6:20am
• Chloe and I wake up Hubs
• Chloe goes potty, and then we get her dressed
• Chloe brushes her teeth and we comb her hair
• We go downstairs for breakfast and coffee
• Chloe and Daddy are out the door no later then 7:05am

It seems simple, but somehow, some way it ALWAYS seems to get hectic. LOL!

2. I am on Instagram!! My name is crystalseed...and my 3 favorite IGer's are:

• Shannon Dew
• Kate Balla
• AP from I Love you More than Carrots

3. My daily "must read" blogs....Hmmmm, there are quite a few!

• Shannon over at Life After I "Dew"
• Laura over at The Every Day Joys (obviously)
• Katie Balla over at Loves of Life

4. You wanna know a little bit about my family? Well, Andy and I met back in '04. Engaged and started living together '05. Married '07, pregnant '09 and welcomed out precious Chloe August '10. Now we are living in our 2nd home, since June '12. And that's about it. Have any other burning questions, feel free to comment and I'll get back to ya!

5. Favorite Holiday Traditions? Well, We really don't have any traditions....other then putting the Christmas tree up on Thanksgiving. But that's about it. We're actually going to Florida with Andy's family this year for Christmas, so that might turn into an every year thing. :-)

6. And, last but not least....one random fact about myself?? If you have never read my blog from the very beginning, you wouldn't know that I am adopted. I was taken in by my family at 6 months old....and I didn't know I was even adopted until I was 21 years old....crazy, RIGHT?

That's all for me!!! Head on over to Laura's little piece of the world wide web and link up!!

Sunday Blog Hop

Hey Ya'll!
It's been awhile since I link up with Danielle, so since I had a minute this morning, I figured, Why Not??
Hope you will enjoy my blog and maybe follow along?
Leave me a comment if you do, and I'll be sure to return the favor :-)

SO WHAT! Wednesday!

This week I'm saying SO WHAT! If:

• I have an obsession with meal planning....I literally get a high from having dinner written down in my planner like 2-3 weeks out.
• I'm sitting in the dark, TV paused writing this right now while hubs puts Chloe down to bed....and I'm really enjoying just listening to the keyboard keys clicking.
• I can't wait to place my Scentsy order at the end of the month so I can try the new Spring/Summer scents! Who wants some?!
• I'm never actually hungry after I eat dinner, but nights when I know I can't eat....like tonight, because I have a physical tomorrow and I have to fast, yea...I'm starving right now. WHY?!?!
• We have an orange bathroom, and I love it.
• Chloe's room will be pink and white with black trim! I cannot wait! Next on the list to buy for her room will be a zebra lamp, and a name decal for her wall.
• I always say that I'm going to use coupons when I go grocery shopping...but I still haven't.
• Hubs kept Chloe home from school on Monday because she had a really bad diaper rash and cried to him that she didn't want to go to school because her butt hurt...lol! What a good daddy!
• We're going to try potty training cold turkey at school next week.....jumping right in, head first! Teachers said that they have had good luck with it doing it this way, so we're going to try it! Most of the kids in Chloe's class are wearing undies to school now, so it's time!
• Chloe stays dry when she's in a diaper and knows that she needs to potty, but when we put undies on her, she pees AND poops....I think she does it on purpose. Just to mess with me.
• I'm starting to think about what I can get Chloe to wear on her birthday! Must be something good with tulle from Etsy, I think! Yep!

Alright, that's all for me! Head over to Shannon's page and tell us what you're saying SO WHAT! to this week....

And wish me luck that I make it without coffee till my Physical is done today. Appt is at 8:30 :-( I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to get a Venti from Starbucks on my way back into work :-/

Oh, and since I'm posting, I may as well give ya'll the good news! We have the go ahead on the house we offered on last night. So it's a go! We are buying it!!! We just have to wait for all the paperwork to be done and then for the bank to come back. So...we're thinking maybe about 3 months before we will have the keys. But we LOVE the house, so we're super excited!!!
