Girl Chat {December 2018}

Happy Thursday!! It's the last month of our Girl Chat linkup! It's crazy it's been an entire year, just another way to see how fast time goes.


This month is all about your favorite ornaments - so grab our graphic and link up below!




I have many favorite ornaments (even more than I listed below!)


Brayden & Ella both made this in 4yr old preschool so of course I love  them!

 

I have a Santa & Rudolph handprint for each of the kids, these are some of my favorite because I love their little hands!

 

Brayden made this one in 2nd grade, so sweet



This was from our first Disney trip where we had the BEST time



My best friend gave this one to me the year Rick and I got married and I still love it



These wooden shoes are from a cute store in Mi during one of our family vacas



This one is from the cutest store in Anna Maria



The kids and I made these snowman handprints a couple of years ago, I just love cute kid ornaments!






This is from our 2nd family vaca to Disney (I can't wait to get back!!)



And lastly, this one is of my Grandma who passed in 2014. I was very close to her and so was Brayden (Ella was only 2 and only vaguely remembers her, and Avery was only a couple months old when she passed) - it's very sweet every year when we take this out of the box, Brayden always wants to hang it and he always sheds a few tears and we have a special moment where we talk about her and I give him the biggest hug.



I love ornaments so today is going to be fun reading through all the posts!

Girl Chat - November 2018

Hey hey everyone! Hope your week is going well! Ours is but oh my gosh it's getting cold around here!!

Today is another installment of Girl Chat! We're talking all about how we juggle the holiday season

Here's some things I do and it really helps relieve from stress!

Buy Christmas presents as early as possible

I start buying Christmas gifts around September - if I see something at a great price that I know will make a good present, I grab it! Right now I have a huge stash already and am so close to being done! My goal this year is to finish by December 1st so I can enjoy December

Wrap presents early

This goes with the above - I hope to be wrapped by the first weekend of December so I can free up any free time I'll have!


Mark your calendar!

By staying on top of holiday parties, class parties, family get togethers, date nights and whatever else this holiday season will bring, you must mark things down! I already know there are a couple traditions we do every year that fall on certain days, so I make sure to mark those as soon as I know them and continue to update as plans get made


It's ok to say no

This time of year can be SO CRAZY! I know me personally, I have something going on every weekend until Christmas with the exception of 1 day - I don't feel it's too much but if I did I would say no to certain things.


Remember to enjoy the season

With this season brings busy, and with busy can bring frustration. I try and remind myself the reason of the season and that my kids are only little once - that helps me relax and enjoy all the fun festivities!!


We hope you link up below!!

Girl Chat {June 2018}

Hey Hey friends! Today is going to be fun, it's our monthly Girl Chat linkup and the topic is all about favorite hair products! I am excited to read through what everyone posts about, I feel like I could use some help in this department :)


I'm pretty basic when it comes to hair - most days it's thrown up, but I must say ever since chopping it, I have been doing it more than before. I don't really use tons of products but here is what I do use:



Batiste Dry Shampoo

Batiste Original Clean Dry Shampoo - 6.7oz - image 1 of 1

I've been using this for a couple of years now and I love this stuff - best part is it's cheap! You can find it here


Shea Moisture Detangler Spray

SheaMoistureƂ® Coconut & Hibiscus Kids Extra-Moisturizing Detangler - 8 Fl Oz - image 1 of 1

I bought this on others recommendations for the kids after the pool, but I have been using it too! Works great and smells heavenly!



L'ange Salt + Sea Spray

Salt + Sƃ©a Texturizing Spray


This stuff is awesome! I use it when I'm done curling or if I throw it up wet


Wet Brush


Wet Brush Purple - image 1 of 4


I discovered this brush years ago and it's been the best thing ever. I use it on the kids and myself and it's just honestly the best!!


L'ange Curling Wand

Ondulƃ© - Blush 1

I've been using this for a while now and LOVE it!! There is always a promo code too, just google it!


Flat Iron

Style Series Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron 1" - image 1 of 1


I would say I 80% curl my hair and 20% straighten it when I do actually do it. I have this flat iron and it gets the job done, although I would like to get one with wider clamps one day




So there you have it, the not-so many hair products I use!

Girl Chat {May}

I cannot believe we are already at May's Girl Chat linkup! Time is flyyyyying. This month is a good one for all you nosy people out there (don't worry, I'm in that category as well😜) - we're sharing A Day in the Life - and here's mine!




I documented this past Tuesday, May 15th,

6:00am - Wake up, bathroom, change into workout clothes and head to the basement to workout. Today was a video day which meant I did a total body workout with weights (every other day I run) - I'm not gonna lie, it was hard for me to get up because I went to bed really late, and I even let myself sleep in!



6:45am - Make coffee, have breakfast and work on my FB groups




7:30am - Make sure all the kids are up, help Avery with brushing her teeth and tell Ella for the 20th time to get out of bed

7:45am - Kids are eating breakfast, everyone something different (awesome)

8:25am - Take Brayden to the bus stop and give him a big hug & kiss!

8:30-8:45am - I quickly get myself ready (literally brush my teeth & hair and put on minimal makeup) and then head out the door to take Avery to preschool - the girls each get to hit the button to open the doors on their school days, so today was Averys turn!

 


9:15-9:45am - I take Ella to speech which is actually at Brayden's school

10:00-11:00am - Go to Target to pick up some end of year teacher gifts, a birthday gift for my nephew and of course browse the many items I shouldn't buy




11:30am - Avery gets out of school and we play at the park for a little until poor Avery got hurt, so we had to leave

 


12:30-2:30pm - We all eat lunch then head outside for playtime for the girls and planting for me.





2:30-3:00pm - Fold & put away laundry that was done 2 days ago (while watching Teen Mom LOL)



3:10-4:00pm- Brayden gets home, I get all the kids a snack then pick up the kitchen

4:00-5:00pm- Brayden's friend comes over to play and I hang out with the girls

5:00-:6:00pm - Make dinner & eat - it's Taco Tuesday so 2/3 kids eat very well!!

6:00-7:30pm - Clean up dinner, run the dishwasher, go on a family bike ride (even the dog comes with)



7:30-8:15pm - Bedtime (it's a no bath/shower night so it's pretty easy)

8:15-10:00pm - I shower, then me and Rick hang out and watch some shows then it's time for bed!


And that's what a typical day looks like! Although now that it's summer and Brayden has weeknight baseball games our bedtimes will be pushed back but that's the fun of summer, right?!?!


I can't wait to take a peak into everyone's day, these are my favorite posts!!!

Girl Chat {April 2018}

Happy Thursday! Welcome to Girl Chat! This month is all about our guilty pleasures! This is going to be so fun to read through everyone's posts!




Food:

Flaming Hot Cheetos

Yep, I'm still eating these and loving them! Me and the hubs like to treat ourselves to them every so often, but only on the weekend. I have to have him take the bag away or I will eat them all

Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels

you guys, I am obsessed with these. I was so giddy last week when I saw them on sale at Costco! They rarely go on sale! I try to only eat 1 a day but there are plenty of times where way more than that make their way to mouth


Shows:

Teen Mom (all of them)

Yes, I still watch the Teen Moms. I feel connected to the first cast because I was pregnant with Brayden while watching it and now they are mostly all grown up and more mature so it's enjoyable to watch. However, I did tell my 33 year old self that I would NOT be watching the new young & pregnant show and yep here I am, watching it


Jersey Shore Family Vacation

I was so excited for this to start the other week! It did not disappoint either! I love Pauly D, he is just hilarious and JWow is my fave. Snookie & Dena are just whatever but collectively I like the whole cast and it's going to be a fun hot mess to watch


E! News

I have been watching E! News ever since I can remember - my mom got me hooked when I was in HS. It has changed alot over the years and I don't like it as much as I use to but I do catch it once in a while still.

Reading


Gossip mags

I use to be really big on reading tons of gossip magazines as well as Cosmo. I only pick one up every so often and it's definitely a guilty pleasure of mine when I do.

I'm sure there's more I'm missing but these are the main guilty pleasures that popped into my head. I use to have a lot more but now that I'm raising 3 small kids, there's not as much time as there use to be for guilty pleasures!
