• I'm constantly looking for tutu's and new leotards for Chloe for dance class....aaahhhh, it's an obsession now!
• Chloe needs....YES, NEEDS a cute little Ballet bag. Any suggestions on where to find one, and not TOO overly expensive?

Meal Planning 101

Don't think going into this post that it's going to be all this information about meal planning...because it's not! I'm horrible at it, and I need some major help. I used to be awesome, used to make my list, grocery shop like a champ with the best of them, make dinner at least 2-3 times a week....yep! Best Wife Award over here! Now?? Nope. But I have my reasons....
Reason 1, and probably the only reason....we had our Couples Boudoir Photo Shoot October 6th. So we vowed to only eat Salads and chicken for the 2 months prior to that so we could watch our weight and be nice and lean and not all bloated for the pictures. That plan worked out great! Grocery shopping was super easy and cheap too! I just bought a huge thing of spinach for myself, and made salads for lunch. And we had chicken Caesar salads for dinner. But now that all that's done....I feel like I need to get back into the swing of things. Making dinner's and such. Having family dinner time....making stuff that Chloe will enjoy. Ya know, the normal....Mom/Wife thing. So my attempt at this, is becoming a member of the Elite Emeals mailing list. I'm going to give it a try and see how it goes.
I got my first meal plan Tuesday night, so I'm looking forward to going grocery shopping this weekend. We shall see how it goes, and I will be posting the recipes that I love.
Stay Tuned...

This week I’m saying SO WHAT! If:

• I really don’t need anymore makeup, I have some that I don’t even use….but when it comes to the Everlasting Mascara from Avon, I can’t help myself. It’s clearance right now, $3.99!! I got me 2 of them, and will be ordering more once I get paid! 
• I’m scurred that I might have to stop selling Scentsy because it’s been slow for me, and if I don’t make $150 a month these next 2 months, I’m cancelled….this makes me SO sad! So, if you need anything, And I do mean ANYTHING! Please, help a sista out! www.cseed.scentsy.us 
• Chloe slept in our bed last night….she woke up twice screaming and coughing, so it was just easier that way. We all got sleep….well…at least a few hours. Kind of. 
• I HATE driving husbands car. Absolutely despise! His little V6 Journey does not compare to the power behind my V8 Explorer….so I cannot wait for my car to be out of the “hospital” today! I get her back and can drive her again tomorrow with new brakes and all fixed up! It took over $800 to get my Truck feeling better again. Oh well, she needed it. 
• As broke as I’ve been, I’m still paying the $28 to get fresh organic food delivered to my door tomorrow. It’s that good, and I love getting that box on my porch every Thursday! Chloe loves the fruit, and I love that she’s eating Organic! So, thank you Door to Door Organics! 
• I have talked my BFF Cassie into doing Zumba with me this Saturday morning since my MIL and SIL will be out of town. She’s excited and she knows it! 
•  I went to the NKOTB concert along with 95% of the Metro Detroit area on Saturday, and Let me tell you, I had an effing blast! Words cannot express the love that I have for Donnie…still! Gosh, he’s hot! 
• Last week and this week I’ve been doing my SWW post at work because Tuesdays have been just crazy for some reason, so I just don’t have the time at night to do it. That’s all for me this week. 

Head over to Life After I “Dew” and tell us what you are saying SO WHAT! To this week!

SO WHAT! Wednesday!

This week I'm saying SO WHAT! If:

• I almost didn't write this post because I was painting.
• We've only painted 2.5 rooms and we've used 6 colors! 
• I'm so freakin stoked that there is another Hangover coming out! 
• I just can't stop watching the train wreck that is Jenelle Evans on Teen Mom 2....
• I might just go bat shit crazy if I have to clean shit out of one more pair of underwear. 
• Chloe just doesn't get the concept of going poo in the toilet. But she's woken up the past few days dry, and she pees on the potty no problem at all....what gives?!
• Hubs and I went out last weekend with my work girls and I got drunk with my boss. It was AWESOME!
• I might just be a tad bit obsessed with food and trying new recipes now. But it's been all healthy, for the most part, so that's good.

That's all I have this week. Head on over to Shannon's page and tell us what you are saying SO WHAT! to this week!

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! 

SO WHAT! Wednesday!

This week I'm saying SO WHAT! If:

• I've been craving some bad bad chinese food....so for my birthday next week (while Chloe is a day care) Andy's taking the day off work with me and we're going to PF Changs! It's actually good Chinese, but Chinese nontheless!
• I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of my friends baby boy so that I have a little squishy newborn to snuggle!!! I cannot wait! If she doesn't go into labor on her own, little Benjamin will be here tomorrow!!!
• We are counting down the days until March 18th for Andy to be done with School! It cannot come fast enough!
• I'm pretty sure our taxes are already spent. Credit cards, new pots and pants, and we need a new crock pot too....ours keeps on over cooking stuff...Booo!
• I'm happy about Chloe moving to the next room up at school because now they play REALLY hard, and that means she's REALLY tired by the time bed time gets here, and she doesn't fight it AT ALL! Amen to that!
• I was going to buy myself some TOMS on Zulily when they had them, but I only got Chloe a pair, so that means Mama gets the $10 ones from Dots...oh well....Chloe has better shoes then me, it's ok!
• I got another tattoo. It's a heart on the back of my ankle. And I already can't wait to get a matching one of the other ankle. Yep, it's happening.

• If I put that picture in there to make this post look longer. HA!

Head on over to Shannon's blog, check out her face lift (blog, not her face...LOL!) and tell us what you are saying SO WHAT! to this week!

SO WHAT! Wednesday!

This week I'm saying SO WHAT! if:

• We put our faith in the Dream Lite Unicorn to get Chloe to fall asleep in her bed.....AND....it worked!!!!
• I have 11 days off work after Friday! WHOOP WHOOP!!
• I'll be lucky if I blog 5 of those 11 days.....so sorry if I go MIA.
• I've been a bottomless pit lately, and it's been nothing but cookies, candy, chocolate, caramel.....SHIT! Ugh, after the holidays, I'll get back on track!
• I freakin' LOVE the show Whitney!
• It's been very hard for me to not spend all my money on clothes right now since I told Andy that I wanted clothes for Christmas.
• I got a really nice bonus check at my work meeting on Saturday, and I really don't want to spend any of the money in my bank account because I like seeing that BIG number...lol!
• I want skinnies in every single color of the rainbow. There, I said it.
• I have an obsession with scarves all of a sudden...I've always owned a few of them, but just recently started wearing them and wanting to buy every single one I see!
• My Mom bought us a crock pot cookbook for Christmas, and I have a feeling I am going to be using my crock pot at LEAST once a week now!
• We haven't moved Peach the Elf in like....forever.

Go link up with Shannon and tell us what you are saying SO WHAT! to this week!

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!

SO WHAT! Wednesday!

This week I'm saying SO WHAT! If:

• I saw Breaking Dawn Part 2 and almost cried just because I didn't want it to end!
• Sometimes I go all weekend and completely forget to drink any water....I'll drink coffee most of the morning, and then Diet Coke or whatever else, but not a single drop of water. I need to get better at that!
• We bribe Chloe with the Choo Choo train under the tree to eat her dinner! 
• Andy bought Chloe a new pair of tennis shoes, and I love them so much, I want a pair in my size....lol!
• I'm not sure I'll ever go back to the Coffee Mate creamer after drinking the International Delights! Omg, IN LOVE!
• I'm still not really sure what we're going to get Chloe for Christmas....any ideas?
• Peach the Elf has been sitting on the mantle since Friday.....I need to get better at this Elf on the Shelf thing.
• There has been numerous times this past week that Chloe has had apples and yogurt for dinner....girlfriend just isn't into eating. Unless it's fish sticks.
• I haven't been keeping track of any sort of diet for, I couldn't even tell you how long....I'll get back on it after the Holidays. Right now, I'll just enjoy it. I'm still maintaining weight. Within a few pounds of my goal, and I'm ok with that.

Alright, now go link up with Shannon and tell us what you are saying SO WHAT! to this week!!

SO WHAT! Wednesday!

This week I'm saying SO WHAT if:

• I almost completely forgot to give Chloe some milk before she went to bed last night....and we almost got away with it, until she laid down and asked for it and wouldn't let it go....Damn!
• I paid $29.55 for a pair of $80 Madden Girl boots on Amazon!
• I'm trying to tell myself that I don't need a ThirtyOne bag that cost $90.....ugh....I want it! I need it, But I'm trying to tell myself that I can't have it!
• I'm thinking about being a SAHM middle of next year. 
• I REALLY want to start tracking my eating again...seems like I've been slowly gaining, and then I lose a little, and then gain again. So I need to push myself to start tracking! I've been doing good about not gaining a TON of weight, I'm only about 2 away from my goal still. So lets see if I can hit that.
• I had NO faith in myself for Scentsy this month, but Lord, let me tell you! I did it! 1 party closed out last night, I'm over $800!! And I have another party this weekend! Whooo Hoooo!!! Maybe Mama will get that $90 bag after all!!
• I'm addicted to this new show Mob Doctors.
• Vampire Diaries is a bit more gory this season.....and I like it!

• I have been a bottomless pit the past week and I'm not looking forward to weight in today....Oh Lord, it's not going to be good!
• I still haven't worked out more then once since the last time I told you I haven't worked out.
• Unless I get my SIL to come over and help me paint, Chloe's room won't get painted until December...so I'm hoping this happens before she leaves for school in August.

• We JUST moved into our house and we're leaving for vacation next Friday!
• I'm normally in the bedroom with Chloe until she falls fast asleep, but last night...I couldn't take the whining anymore. She just wouldn't stop. So I left. Stood outside the door until she was quiet, and then walked away. BOOM! Toddler 0-Mom 1
• Chloe has never really had a taste for chicken or spaghetti....but last night. Mama made chicken parm, and let me tell you! Girl GOBBLED that shit up! She was all like, "Mo Mama!!" I felt like a winner winner chicken dinner!!
