Fab Friday

Linking up with the always fabulous and beautiful Laura from The Everyday Joys

Potty Training

First fab thing this week would have to be potty training! I can't believe that I'm saying this, but she's trained...not 100%, meaning we're still working on the poo poo part, but girlfriend has been using the potty to pee for the past almost 2 weeks!

Scentsy Orders

Husband and my work girls - without them, it wouldn't have been possible for me to make my minimum for Scentsy the past 2 months!

Mother's Day

This will be my 3rd Mother's Day! So I'm pretty excited about that! Let's hope it's a better one then last year though, as Chloe was sick...

Caring People

All the people in our lives right now, at this very moment! People who take the time to see Chloe, people who love and care for her just as much as we do!

Food Delivered to my Door?

This little company called Door to Door Organics...yep! Pretty much in love! We got our first delivery yesterday, and Chloe loved the strawberries and blueberries! Cucumber was so fresh and crispy and I have yet to try the other stuff that I got, but I can't wait! I'll for sure be using them again!

• Tiffany from Momma Bear Diaries....she's amazing and awesome and the bomb.com for doing my new blog design! She truly knows what I like and my last few designs have been from her, and I just love her!
• Old Navy....They have amazing jeans that fit me just right. I have a pair of the Rockstar Skinnies, and I am absolutely in love with them. I'm going back to get another pair of the Rockstars in a different style, cuz I just love them that much.
• Andy only has like 4 pages left to write of his last paper for school and then he's done. He might actually finish before this weekend....which, would be AWESOME! Thank God for NO MORE SCHOOL!
• VACATION! I know I have put this in like every single one of my SWW posts and every other FB status and whatnot, but it's just because I am so gosh darn stinkin excited about it.
• My new glasses. Hubs and I went to get our eyes checked, and my prescription changed. Like a lot, and let me tell you, I can SEE!!!! I don't need them for anything other then reading and computer, which is awesome news to me. Now I just need to have my license changed so that it doesn't have corrective lenses on it. I don't wear them while I'm driving anyways, so I'm already breaking some kind of law...LOL! Oooops.
• Coastal.com.....They are awesome. Regardless of the fact that my first pair I ordered didn't fit. My fault anyways....but I'm sending them back, and ordering another pair so that I'll have 2 pairs. One for home and one for work. YAY!

Alright, I'm done, so now go over to The Every Day Joys and tell us what's Fab in your life right now!

Fab Friday!

Linking up with the always Fabulous and ridiculously adorable Mommy and preggo, Laura to tell you all what's fabulous in  my life right now!

• Weight Loss - Slowly but surely I'm losing the weight that I want to lose for our Florida trip at the end of March! I'm so happy about the way it's coming off. First goal was to hit 120, and now that I've surpassed that, I'm going for 115! I know that I can do it! I know that once we get to Florida and are in vaca mode, we're going to gain a little bit back, but I fully intend to keep with the MFP and try to keep working out (or shall I say, start) while we're down there.

• Pants that haven't fit in 3 years - To add to the first bullet point on losing the weight, I was able to fit into a pair of pants that haven't really fit me since before Chloe was conceived. That was an amazing feeling yesterday! For the past few months, I feel like I've worn nothing but leggings and stretchy pants....and yesterday I was just not in the mood for leggings. So glad I took that leap. Made me a happy girl!

• Potty Training - We aren't really training, per say, but she's now telling us when she needs to go, sometimes....sometimes it's after she's already gone, but that's a major step for us! She's understanding more and more that she's wet and needs to be changed. And she's actually interested in sitting on the potty more and more now. So I feel like we're getting somewhere. And that makes me happy. Will we be trained before we go to Florida, probably not. But that's ok with me.

• New Room at Day Care - She's loving it! And let me tell you, I think it's that she's trying to keep up with the big kids, but good lawd, she's tried at night, and I love it! She hasn't really been fighting bed time....(except last night) but I think that was our fault. But she's doing great, her teachers are great, and once she gets settled in her new room, they are going to REALLY push potty training! And I think that when she sees all her friends going potty and wearing undies and using the potty on a norm, she's going to get it and do it right along with them! I cannot wait! No more diapers in our near future!

• And last but not least....Tuesday is my birthday! I'm actually pretty excited. I get the day off work....PAID! And Hubs is taking the day off work to spend it with me while Chloe goes to day care. I cannot wait! We're actually going to get our eyes checked together. HA! That should be interesting....his first time every getting his eyes checked, and well, I'm going because I need new glasses. So it should be fun. Lunch at PF Changs, and it should be a good day! 

Fab Friday

It's been a few weeks since I've linked up with the Always Fabulous Laura from The Everyday Joys! She's amazing in every single way a blogger can be, and to top it all off, she's on my Scentsy team....(or shall I say, I'm on hers....lol) Anyways, here is my list of Fab things that are....well....Fab for me:

• Our Day Care Tuition goes down starting today! We prepay for the 2 weeks ahead, and Chloe starts room 6 on Monday, so today's Tuition payment is $470 instead of $570! Sucks that we have to start supplying them with diapers, but that's only until she is potty trained! Thank the dear lord!
• The scale has been fabulous for me this week...it actually hasn't moved up or down, and for me, that's a win! I don't care that I don't see it moving, as long as it's not going up, that works for me. I've been VERY VERY consistent with my tracking calories and I've been under, or over by very little for the past month! So that, for me is awesome!
• Only 5 more weeks until we go to Florida and I have pretty much everything Chloe and I need as far as warmer weather clothing goes! I am sooooo stoked! She's got a few new pairs of shorts, some summer dresses, and some amazingly cute pink canvas TOMS that I ordered from Zulily yesterday! I cannot wait to get them! I just hope they make it here before we leave.....
• My work girls are amazingly sweet in that they are all helping me meet my goals for Scentsy this month.....AND because they are ordering from me, I will be able to get some stock for my parties and order some of the scents that are being discontinued! I am Soooooo excited!
• And last but not least, and maybe possibly one of the best things, because it's the one happening the soonest.....tomorrow me and my girl Mallory are getting matching tattoos! Just little outlines of hearts on out ankles. I cannot wait! 
• Oh, and to top that off....My birthday is March 5th! YAY!

SO WHAT! Wednesday!

This week I'm saying SO WHAT! if:

• Truth be told, I haven't really even given potty training a chance....kind of scares me.
• I was just going to let Day Care potty train Chloe, because I mean, we pay them enough, don't we? me.think.so
• I think I'm going to attempt PT this weekend with some Princess Panties due to Shannon's success story from her Fab Friday post last week!
• I won money from the Super Bowl and I'm going to buy Chloe and myself some stuff for our Florida trip! Oh and I bought myself a lunch tote from ThirtyOne!
• I am giddy excited for Husband to be done with school! MARCH 18th!!!!!
• Today is the first time this week we've gotten up at 5am to work out. I went to bed Sunday not feeling well, and didn't feel like waking up on Monday Morning, and Andy wasn't feeling good on Tuesday....so today, we are BACK AT IT!
• My cat is just as spoiled as our daughter....she gets tuna every day when we get home. And she whines and whines until she gets it.
• Sometimes I'm secretly sad that Chloe is getting so big, so fast. I just want her to be a baby again...
• I'm over my baby fevah! Yep, just like that, but I only give it a few weeks until it's back, because by then, my BFF Cassie will have her new baby boy, and I get to snuggle a newbie again....oh.....my heart will melt, I'm sure!
• I love my hair more every time I see it in the mirror...BUT....I'm thinking next time I get it cut (right before we leave for FL) I'm going to have my Janie Poo cut it a BIT shorter in the back! 

Head on over to Life after I "Dew" and tell us what you are saying SO WHAT! to this week!

What's fab in my life this week? I'm linking up with Laura at The Everyday Joys to tell ya!

• American Idol is back and I'm loving it! Even though I have missed 2 days of auditions because of other things recording, I'm still loving it!
• Origami Owl.....enough said right there! I can't get enough, and I wear my necklace almost every single day! I literally wear my heart and my life around my neck, and I love it!
• Scentsy! I know this seems to be one of my Fab Friday things every time I do this link up, but I just love it soooooo much! And starting today, there are TONS of closeouts, AND the new catalog is available to consultants today, so contact me with ANY questions! I'm going to Spring Sprint on the 16th, and I will know first hand about all the new products for the Spring/Summer 2013 catalog!
• ThredUp! This website is awesome, and I bought Chloe a few tops and dresses for the summer, and they are adorable! Gently used, and VERY gentle on your wallet! LOVE IT!
• And last but not least, MY HAIR!!!!!! I am LOVING my new hair! I cut it super short and got blonde highlights! Even though I'm a true brunette, being blonde makes me feel like I'm back to my "roots" because I was seriously blonde for most of my life!

Linking up with Laura over at The Everyday Joys for Fab Friday! 

• First Fab thing on my list is that Chloe is back to falling asleep in her bed!! It's been about 2 weeks now! I love it! One night when her nightly MMCH was over, she looked at me and said "uptairs, Mama". So I took her upstairs and she laid down on her pillow, cuddled her lovey and went to sleep. And now that happens every night!
• Second thing is that Chloe's Full Size, big girl bed arrived yesterday. So now we just need to figure out how we're going to set up her room and get it put together. Might not be this weekend, but in the VERY near future!
• New clothes....I love them. And since Andy bought me a couple new things for Christmas....I've kind of gone a little crazy. I've gotten quite a few new things including a Maddie Top and a Piko Top from KiKi La Rue! I love them sooooo much!
• And, the best, most fabulous thing about this week, is today! Today is Friday! And this week has been one hellofa week.....so I want to Thank the Lord for today!

Now, go link up with Laura and tell us what is Fab in your life this week!

Fab Friday

Well, Since the world hasn't ended....and I'm up and ready to go to work....I figured I should probably get this post written up since I was so tired last night and fell asleep on the couch until 12:30 pm...Ugh! I hate doing that on a weekday! Thank Goodness this is my last day of work until Jan 2nd!!! Yay!!!

What's fabulous in my life right now?

• The fact that I'm still alive and the world hasn't ended.
• My new 3 in 1 triple barrel curler! I'm in love with it and all the things it does. I had one, but it was old and it is a marcel, so I wanted a new one! And, I won it at our Silent Auction at work! Paid $24 for it!! That sounds good to me!!!
• The Gosh darn Dream Lites! I can't believe that thing put Chloe back in her crib! Just amazing!
• The fact that Christmas is just 4 days away! I cannot believe how fast this year went, but I'm really looking forward to 2013!!

I know I don't have much, but I wrote this in a time crunch. Head over to Laura's blog and tell us what is Fab in your life lately!

 

Fab Friday

I apologize ahead of time because I'm not writing this ahead of time like I usually do....last night after the Toddler went to bed, we wrapped a bunch of Christmas Presents. And we didn't get to bed until after 11pm. So I had no time to write, or did I even have the time to think about what to write....but anyways, here's what's Fab in my life right now!

• Coffee....It's my Savior. I wouldn't make it through my day without it. Under no circumstances do I ever not drink coffee. That's all.
• Coffee Creamer....I can't drink coffee without it. I've actually accustomed myself to drinking it without sugar now. So that's good. But creamer is a must. My fave as of late has been the International Delights. I love the Peppermint Mocha one! YUM!!!
• Now, I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before on Fab Friday, but I'm going to now....Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! Our mornings would probably be a lot more crazy without it. Chloe looks forward to watching it in the morning, and that allows me to get her breakfast together, and mine as well and then get ready before Daddy comes downstairs. It's awesome!

Now, go link up with Laura over at Between the Lines Blog and tell us what's Fab in your life!

Fab Friday

Linking up with Laura over at Between the Lines Blog for Fab Friday! This is where we talk about everything that is Fab in our lives!

• First and foremost, I want to call out Voxor! I absolutely love this app even better then HeyTell! First, it's awesome because HeyTell just plain sucked....it always froze on me, and you could only talk for a certain amount of time before you had to send another message to finish your throught. And....on top of those amazing things, it's pretty much like talking on a phone because you can literally listen to the person talking WHILE they are talking and they can listen to you right back. You don't have to wait until they are done talking, and the message is sent. How great is that?!
• Second Fab thing is actually a really amazing person. She is not a blogger, but I'm pretty sure she reads every once in awhile. So, her name is Jane, and she's an amazing person inside and out! I love her with all my heart, as she is one of my very best girlfriends! We worked together up until a few weeks ago when she was let go....sad sad day! Work isn't the same without her, but we still talk and keep in touch and hang out when we can. Just last night she came over for some girl talk and wine, and she also cut Chloe's hair! How amazing is that?! Not only is she a GREAT friend, but she cuts mine and Chloe's hair and she also colors mine when I need it too!! Best friend who is also a hairdresser?? Can't go wrong with that!

• And one last Fab thing is the Holidays! I seriously cannot get over this time of year right now! It's the best thing that I've ever seen, seeing my little girl look at the Christmas tree and see the presents under it. And in the morning when we try to find Peach the Elf in her new spot. She just loves it and her eyes just light up! I cannot wait until Christmas morning! She's going to love it!

Fab Friday

Oh, ya know! Just getting back at this here blogging thing. I haven't been writing much, but that's not because I don't love you! It's just because I literally didn't have anything to write about! I'd rather leave this page blank then to have something not worth reading....just me?
So, for the first Friday in a long time, I'm linking up with Laura over at Between the Lines for Fab Friday!

Ebates - Everyone else around these blogging parts has been ranting and raving about this amazing site that pays YOU to shop online! Yep, that's right!!! You heard me! So, I just had to give it a try, and well...I haven't turned back since! I even got the hubs to sign up too!! I don't do MUCH online shopping, but just enough. So far, I think including my Kohls purchase from the other night, I'm right around $10 cash back! Just need to keep adding to that! Next Up is Kohls....and not just because of Ebates, but because of the amazing sales they always have....and well....having a Kohls card doesn't disappoint either! I can't ALWAYS find something for either myself or Chloe there, and I love their prices!!! Next thing on my Fab Friday list has got to be Fish Sticks. Yes, I said Fish Sticks. No, this isn't a joke. I'm being completely seriously. These are the only damn things I can always, no matter what, get Chloe to eat! She has been such a picky eater as of late, but no matter what, she loves fish sticks, and she will always eat them! And for that reason, I'm putting them here on my Fab Friday list! And, last but not least is going to be Scentsy! Yes, I sell it, and yes I love it. It may have also kind of become an obsession for me. I have more scentsy bars then I think I will ever be able to melt ever in my life. But I love them all, and I change my wax all the time so it's ok! I also just bought the bogo buddies deal. I got Penny the Pig and Ollie the Elephant. I let Chloe pick which she wanted, and then put the other in my stuff for parties. To no Surprise, Chloe chose Ollie the Elephant! She loves him! I put a Newborn Nursery scent pak in him, and oh goodness, anywhere Chloe carries Ollie, smells amazing!  K, now go link up with Laura and tell us what is Fabulous in your life right now!

Fab Friday!

Today I am linking up with Laura from Between the Lines Blog for Fab Fridays!

So, as you seen in yesterdays post, I got me this Fabulous purse! I love it so much! It seriously hold so much stuff! Before, with my little cross body's, I couldn't carry a Scentsy catalog with me at all times, or even my REAL camera! But, now! You better believe I have it all in there! I love it!
So, today....when I pulled up to my house after getting Chloe from day care, there were 2 packages on my front porch! Oooooh boy! I knew exactly what they were too!!!!

Ladies and Gents! I finally got my Pumpkin warmer, AND my boots that I ordered from Amazon! I was SOOOO happy!!! The pumpkin warmer was ordered on the last day of September, and I got the note in my order of scent bars that it was on back order....I was very upset, because all I wanted to do was plug the damn thing in and use it! Well, today, Ladies! I get to do that! Eeeeek!
And, as for my boots, I am wearing a pair of skinny jeans that are too big on me today JUST because I wanted to wear them. But you better believe that with my extra time this weekend, I'll be going to Old Navy for a pair of red skinnies, and then probably to Marshalls to see if I can find a few pairs of regular skinny jeans! This Momma is getting her sexy back! You best believe it!

So, on top of all that awesomeness, I also got promoted in my Scentsy business to Lead Consultant! I am so happy and proud of myself, and my team! We did an Great Job!!! And, I want to also let you know, that the Scentsy Buddies are still on sale BOGO!! And now, not only is it these Buddies

But, NOW......Pookie is part of it too!!!!

How awesome is that! So, hurry and start your Christmas shopping!!! cseed.scentsy.us

Every Friday should be Fabulous! I mean, come on.....it's FRIDAY! So, this Friday I want to talk about what I'm doing this weekend! ACS! My company is a huge part of the American Cancer Society, and every year we have the walk in downtown Detroit! Making Strides for Breast Cancer! I'm really hoping that it's not going to rain, because last year I didn't make it. I woke up early in the morning, got ready, and figured out it was raining, and then we didn't go. But I'm really hoping this year is different. I'm planning to get on stage and everything, so wish me luck and pray for the rain Gods to NOT show up until after the walk! If you live in the Detroit area, or surrounding areas, you should definitely come out! It's a great time and for a great cause!! It starts in downtown detroit at Ford Field!!

Fab Fridays

Linking up with the Fabulous Laura from Between the Lines Blog! What's Fab for me this Friday? Well, LOTS, actually! Today is Tiger's day at work! We got to wear our Tigers gear to work and also tennis shoes. Which isn't a normal here at TNG. So you best believe I'm wearing my Tigers gear, all blue and orange! Also Fabulous in my world this week, We are taking Chloe to see Disney On Ice tomorrow! I'm so totally stoked about this, and I just cannot wait to see her face when she sees those ice skaters on the ice!!! She's going to LOVE it! And then last but not least, Sunday is my work event at Sound Board in Motor City! It's called Beauty Buzz and it's going to be awesome! I have my new dress that I'm wearing, and Andy will be getting dressed up and my Mother In Law is coming over to watch Chloe! It's going to be perfect!!! I'm going to try and take lots of pictures so that I can make a great post for you guys to look at!!
