Some of my favorites....right now!

I don't have facebook anymore to update the random things that I love at the moment so I'm just going to post about all of them. Okay? Okay.
Numero Uno: Impel Clothing. Love it. Like really love it. Would work extra hours just to buy everything off their site kind of love. I almost don't want to tell people about it because the clothing they put up seriously vanishes quickly. Such a good price and so cute. Fortunately for Chad, I've only bought one shirt but there have been many potentials.

These are two of my current favs on the radar.

Number 2:  I can not get enough of anything sweet. But if I had to choose what I would bring on a deserted island it would be Hershey's Cookies and Cream Drops. They are positively sinful. I'm not quite sure that the Devil doesn't make these himself because I can not stay away from them. I bought two bags the other day with a coupon and a few days later Chad finally notices them on the top shelf of the pantry. (Totally plain site, so fair game for anyone, am I right?) He digs in and says "Have you almost eaten this whole bag?" To which I reply "Hey! There is another bag up there you know." Obviously I'm justified.  If you are on a diet or ever hope to be on one do not get these. EVER!

Number 3: It's clear to see that I need something else that counteracts the effects of "The Drops". One word. Burpees. A few months ago, my sister-in-law posted about a workout website that basically shows a workout routine each day. It's called Bodyrock. Very little equipment. Short killer workouts. No need to drive to a gym. Need I say more? Honestly, it's kind of intimidating to start cause the chick on there is super toned and you wonder how you are ever going to do what she does.  I haven't been doing all the workouts everyday because I've been training for other things as well but I definitely feel better about how my day goes when I put it on and kick my own butt. 

Number 4: Little House on the Prairie. I know. Lame. But I've really grown to love this show. I hated it growing up cause I swore it was the only thing on after I got home from school. They just have such good values and lots of hardworking, god fearing characters. Plus, I have a secret crush on Michael Landon. Those curly brown locks. Who could resist? I have been watching it more because we cut down on our tv package. No more E! or Bravo. I had to said goodbye to the Kardashian sisters and The "Real" Housewives of any city. The debauchery. Don't judge me.



That's it for now. Kelsie wanted to add her favorites to my list so here ya go:
  1. Going outside.
  2. The park.
  3. Riding the rocking horse.
  4. Coloring.
  5. Bubbles.
  6. Nursery (Oh wait. That's on Mom's list.)
  7. Dad.
  8. Milk.
  9. Anything sweet.
  10. Looking cute with very little effort.

Better for Someone Else

You see this little girl right here? The sweet looking one below? She needed a break from her parents. At least, that's what I told my sister. She had gotten her vaccinations that week and had not been feeling good. Little stuff was throwing tantrums and freaking out all weekend so my seriously awesome sister offered to take her for a night. We jumped at the chance. We left her and dashed off into the sunset! I used priceline that day and bid on a hotel room. It was the Marriott up by the U for 65 bucks! A little ways out but still fun. Well, other than the queen size bed we had to squeeze onto, we had a good time. We went to a Lebanese restaurant called Mazza that we haven't been to since we were first married. Soooooo goooood! Their hummus is spectacular! Then we went to a movie. Just like the old days. Ahhhhh.
Later I got a text picture from my sister with a little foot with little painted toenails. Of course, Kelsie lets her paint her fingernails and toenails. Oh and she let her do her hair. Are you kidding me? She would not let me do a dang thing without a freak out. Kelli then tells me that her daughter Hailee helped distract her. I NEED A HAILEE! I really think she just will do anything for anybody but us! And Kelli has some Zen like qualities that I think appear after your last child is no longer a toddler:)



I'm coming after YOU!
