Life lately, all sorts of updates


You know its been crazy busy around here when I haven't had a chance to sit down at the computer for more than 5 minutes hence the lack of blogging lately, buts its Siennas nap time so here is a little brain scatter update of what's been going with us.


*The weather lately has been amazing, 
we spent the last few weekends outside....playdate, park and pool galore


* Poor Miss S had the stomach flu recently. We panicked as it was the first time ever she wasn't feeling well. To make matters worse....hubs got it, then two days I did. 
Luckily we didn't all get it at the same time - that would have been a nightmare.

It was so hard to see her this way knowing there was nothing I could do but let the virus run its course

*Hubs got a new job! so proud of him - it took balls to leave a comfortable job & take a risk at a new position but its an awesome company to be a part of - just different hours now that will take some getting used to for us both. This is how he spent his last day at the old job...haha 

*we finally moved Sienna's crib out of our room and shes been sleeping better...and so are we! no more co-sleeping either.


*Is it possible for terrible twos to happen at 13 months? cuz I'm pretty sure I'm seeing a little preview. Yesterday she laid down on the floor in the middle of Trader Joes...screaming cuz I wouldn't let her hold a tub of yogurt...I hate giving into her little terrors but sometimes I do just for the sake of my sanity.

*We are on the market for an SUV, we both have sedans...one which is on its last hair. Anyone LOVE their SUV? what do you drive? 

*We have a family photoshoot in 2 weeks and I've decided to sass up my look a bit and dye my hair for the FIRST time in my 26 years of life...nothing drastic, need Sienna to still recognize me ha but maybe a tad lighter brown and a new cut. Pintrest has been my BFF in getting ideas. I'm thinking its either the worst or best idea ever to get a new cut & color the day of a photoshoot...we'll see.

  2. Looks like you guys have been having lots of fun outside. The stomach flu is no joke. All three of us had it earlier this year and it was terrible. Have fun SUV shopping. We bought a new Chevy Equinox last August and I love it!

    I can't wait to see your hair! (Babies recognise Mum by smell of breastmilk and voice, then facial features. You could go Paris Hilton blonde and she'd barely notice a difference, although she might think WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!) Haha!

    I still can't believe she only got her first illness at over a year old. Healthy babygirl! Think of the good that did her immune system, even if it was horrible to feel so helpless.

    Love you guys :) love the photos x

  7. My husband just recently bought me a Mazda CX-5. Typically I am not a huge fan of Mazdas but I sure do love it! It has great gas mileage and is quite roomy. If you want a little more space I'd go with the CX-9 it's a bit bigger and just as beautiful. Good luck :)

  10. I absolutely love the Mazda CX-5. I think they're amazing. We've been looking at getting one but are still deciding as well. I say yes to changing your hair up. Think of it this way, if you don't like it you can always dye it back :)
