Little Bits of Happinness

a love note....

Aubrey is currently 19 months and I just have to say I keep falling more and more in love with her every day. I don't even know how that is possible! I swear I love this little girl more than life it self.

I was reading a mommy devotional and it said how when a mother first has their child they come into the world with a complete heart no heartache, no disappointed, no hurt. As they grow older a mother does anything and everything possible to keep that little heart to remain the same. I find that to be so true.

I try so hard to be the best mom even though I know that is not possible. I beat myself up when I am laying in bed at the end of the day and think to myself did I play with her enough? I shouldn't of screamed at her that way! I should of sang to her longer. Did I give her enough kisses and hugs? At the end of each day I just want her to lay her little head, on that little pillow, in her little crib completely at peace and knowing without a doubt in her head that mommy loves her.

It is amazing to me the way this little girl makes me feel. When I hold her and its just me and her I feel this incredible bond and this incredible peace. I feel complete! At that very moment nothing else matters because I am holding my everything my whole world in my arms. I would fight an army of men  to keep her safe. When I am down because of life's trials and tribulations I find that she gives me courage to go another day, when I look into those brown eyes she gives me peace, she gives me hope that the best is yet to come....Thank you Princess!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the great mommas out there! We all know its not the easiest job but its the most rewarding job in the world. I was telling my friend yesterday even though I had morning sickness until I was 6 months along in my pregnancy. Even though I was in active labor for 3 days prior to having Aubrey and even though Aubrey was (is) such a high maintenance baby I would do it all over again in a heartbeat no hesitation because being a mother and going through all those experiences is that AMAZING!

So last year on mother's day weekend Aubrey and I were sick and this year was no exception. Aubrey and I stayed home for most of the weekend trying to get better. I have a common cold, cough and allergies. Aubrey has a common cold, cough and ear infection. YUCK! 

Aubrey made me a gift at day care. Look how sweet!

Happy Mother's Day!

Motherhood: All love begins and ends there.

Cinco de Mayo Weekend!

So as you know this past weekend was Cinco de Mayo and we all know that is just an excuse to go out and drink with your girlfriends and so that is exactly what I did! Some of my girlfriends and I went to Pappasito's Cantina and boy was it fun and well overdue I must say. Pappasitos is known to throw huge parties for Cinco de Mayo and this year was not an exemption. Cheers!

Did some shopping of course! My new fav store the Dollar Store. Just take a look! Grand total of $18.00.

Then we headed to Kohls. Our other fav store!
