Bows bows bows

We are starting a business!! I have been crocheting since I was little, and finally decided to start a small business making cute hair accessories! I have posted a few items on our site, but more are definitely coming soon. I have recently made a TON of holiday clips.

Don't forget we have a family and friends discount!! email me if you see something you want! :)

I can customize anything, so if you want a specific color or center or number of petals, whatever, let me know. you can even send me pics of your outfits and I can make them match! :)

Emma's First birthday

Ok...so I have turned into a serious blogging slacker..but in August Brandon went back to school and I started working a second job at a med spa doing fun stuff like botox and laser hair removal. So we have been very bust. But, not too busy to plan a really fun party for emma's 1st birthday!! She turned one August 20th, and we had the party two days after her birthday. We had a splash party with lots of her little friends and cousins. She had a blast! We love Emma so much and its so fun to watch her grow and learn more every day!

Weigh In

current weight- 135

We started training for 5ks with the hope of doing a marathon or half marathon next summer. I am trying to run everyday but thats not happening. So this week i will do better! We ran a 5k last saturday and I am happy to say that I finished it! I didn't place very high, but at least I finished. and its good motivation to keep training!! :)

Eleven Months old!!

Wow! Time sure flies when your having fun with your baby!! Emma is 11 months old now and we are preparing for the big first birthday bash!! She is such a sweet girl, it almost makes me sad to know that she is almost a toddler...I wish I could just keep her as my little baby for a little longer. Emma officially took her first steps on the fourth of july and broke her two top teeth on that day as well! She is such a big girl!

I am so happy that little Emma is so happy and healthy. Being a mom is the best thing that has ever happened to me (besides finding my awesome husband). Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by the amount of blessings in my life! i am thankful everyday......

Chicago Vacation

We went to chicago in the beginning of June and we had a blast! We saw my dad, emma's greatgrandma's on my side, and my cousins Jamie and Kevin. We went to the brookfield zoo- which emma loved, played at Aunty Jamies house and over just had a blast. Emma did great on the airplane..she slept most of the way there and back! what an awesome little traveler!! here are some pics from our fun first big vacation with our little emma beans.

WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE UPDATE

So I fell of the wagon.. we had a vacation to chicago, plus emma was sick for a while. anyway, none of the above are good excuses, but it's been super hard to lose weight. I am glad to say that for the past week and a half I have been back on the wagon and have lost the re-gained vacation pounds plus some. please cross your fingers and say a prayer for me that I can survive the 4th weekend without too much damage!!
