SFW? So What

So What If...

- I got called 'sir' in the chick-fil-a drive through. It wasn't my finest hair day.
- My glasses aren't sunglasses. I forget. I stare. People get offended. Then I remember.
- I handed all of my Publix coupons to the guy at Kroger. He looked at me like I had dimensia.
- I was at the park with the kids the other day; I watched a homeless guy roll out his mat and take a nap in the shade of a beautiful tree behind the gorgeous sunlight, with the touch of a breeze... and I thought, "I wish I was homeless."
- I had to google the words to "the wheels on the bus" after Chamblee asked me to sing it to her. Aren't I supposed to know things like that?
- I got the new iphone and Siri is rocking my world. i know, i know. I'm probably 11 updates behind, but I feel like I have a personal assistant. and that makes me feel a little better. "Add --- to my calendar." "Remind me to --- at 3:00" "When will I sleep again?" - to which she answers, " I don't know." Ugh. Come on Siri. Pencil it in. Make it happen. 
- It took me an hour to meal plan and make a grocery list. ONE HOUR. I could have been sleeping.
- Jake has one tooth, and only one, dead center of his bottom gummies.
- I put a cartoon on so I could write this.
- When we watch Ellen, Chamblee says, "He's dancing!" No, Cham, she's a girl. "No, he's a boy!" Oh, alright.
- I don't know any internet lingo. Can someone please tell me what FTW and SMH stand for?
- I just pulled this out of my fridge. No, that's not a neat Pinterest project. It's beans. Old. Beans.


Speaking of internet lingo... I've found some things recently that I love. And they are totally
SFW (safe for wallet)

Honeypot Luminary

The. Best. 

For babies? Maybe. For me? Definitely.

Um. Salted Caramel Mocha. 
Venti. 

Also comes in a frapp. 

TRENDStarter Shampoo & Conditioner
Any Biolage Matrix fans out there? 
Yeah, it was my favorite. 
I found this off-brand that said 'compare to Biolage Matrix' and was intrigued. 
This is the jam. It's just as wonderful on my hair and literally half the $$$.


There you go. Random blog made up of my drafts. 
Oh, wait: 
the kiddos this morning. 

Until Next Time,

Park It

Recently, I took the kids to the Children's Museum of Atlanta. I wasn't sure what to expect- and man. I was pleasantly surprised. That place is chaos- in the best, most fun way. It's like 5000 square feet of a playroom fully stocked with toys and friends for Chamblee to run around with. I loved it. She loved it. Jake loved it. I mean, he loved being carried.


Building a tower.

Gone Fishin'


Trains, trains, trains

Dress Up

Market

Magnet wheels

No day of fun is complete without ice cream!

We also stumbled upon a new park nearby. Actually two. And for the past few weeks we have been spending our days there. (sianara old park) We simply cannot stay inside when it's this beautiful out. The kids are friendly, the moms are chatty and we love these new places. We are thankful for them. They save. my. sanity. Because there's not much else to say about a park... I'll show you.

How we roll 

We've also been walking through downtown Decatur.

Jake sleeps, we snack.

There's a park at the opposite end of the square, stocked with toys.







She drives every car. 

Then slides. Then repeat. 

I'm trying really hard to be better. I follow her around and make sure she's ok. I make sure she can step up on things ok. I make sure she knows I'm there at all times. I'm always in just the right position in case she falls or trips. I'm trying to be better. I'm trying to give her a little space. She's just so little! I'm trying to let her make friends and play with them without her mom hanging around. I'm trying to let her do things on her own. But she's just a baby! Look how far away I am: 



Alright, I know. I'm crazy.
