Mother's Day

It's going to be a totally different type of holiday this year. Come to think of it, there have been very few years where it was just another day. This year I'm awaiting the birth of my last child, gained a stepchild, and have my own two separated by about four states. It should be fun all the same though. I'm kind of hoping that my husband finds some deals on jewelry, I would love to have a new necklace or something shiny :)

Baby Shopping!

It's been really fun checking out all of the new things that are out there for babies. I can't wait until we have everything that we need. I think I've finally picked out the crib and bedding, it's the clothes that have me stuck. There is such a lack of cute baby boy things out there that sometimes I wish we were having another girl lol. Oh well, I'll be thankful in the long run.

Hi Tech!

My inlaws are pretty funny. They just got new laptops and now between the two of them, they have three computers that they don't really know what to do with lol. They normally just go on Facebook and do a few random things aside from email, so I really don't know why they needed more than one more. The got a pretty good deal on what they picked up along with a software bundle for each of them. It's so funny to watch them try and figure things out.

Change it Up

A friend of mine works as an occupational therapist. She loves her job but loves that she wears a uniform even more because she hardly has to wonder what to wear to work each day lol. She does get bored with the plain clothing sometimes and has built up quite a collection of Marcus scrub tops. She likes different styles and patterns so that she doesn't feel like she's wearing the same thing everyday. I don't blame her because I know how bland that can seem especially after a long time of doing it.

Costume Creations

When Yes-Yes was young Halloween was already so "store-bought". It wasn't often that you would see many homemade costumes. There is one that stands out in my mind though. There was this little kid who went as a mummy and his parents had gotten some fire hose from RawhideFirehose.com, cut it up, and used that as the linen. I thought that was a really cool idea. Hopefully we can come up with something for the kids, at least once, that they can do themselves to remember.

I've been trying to figure out what to do to get rid of the extra weight after I have the baby, you can never start planning too soon lol. I think I really want to make sure I breastfeed as long as I can, so I'm not sure taking anything would be a good idea. That isn't stopping me from checking out ingredients to things like indigo-3g though. I still have some time to decide what I'll plan for and things always end up changing in the end. Hopefully I'll be able to start quickly though, there's no way I want to stay heavy for too long this time.

Gift Idea!

It always takes me forever to figure out what to get my uncle when it comes to gifts. This year I think I have it figured out though. He's one of those people that has everything when it comes to something he loves, but I found something I don't think he has. I've seen most but not all of his guitars and I have yet to see any Coffin Cases. It may seem a bit odd since he's not exactly young, but I think he'll enjoy it all the same, considering he wanted or had a hearse when he was younger lol.
