15 Things you may or may not know

Soooo...I have tons of post planned full of pictures and family shenanigans because we have been one BUSY crew since the trips have been out of school BUT right after I loaded my pics on my Mac it died and so did the battery SINCE this lady doesn't have time to drive 50 min to Apple to get a new I had to order. The bad boy is in the mail (in China ...I checked) supposed to be here on Wednesday. In the mean time I will do a useless 15 things about me, you can play along if your heart desires. 
1. I keep bug spray and bite relief on me at all times in the summer ..HATE bug bites ( I am not a good camper). 2. I make a MEAN meatloaf, ask the Mr. I think he told me he loved me while eating it the first time. 3. I cannot stand ANY spicy food. 4. My favorite wine is a good glass of pinto grigio, but anything will do (unless too sweet I cannot deal). 5. After a few rum runners the Mr. and I may or may not have partially participated in a nude West Indies beach.  6. I feel happiest on a boat with family. 7. I used to be a cheap date (bud light girl) the Mr. ruined years ago by being snobby about his beer and wine.  8. To me, the BEST thing in the world watching your child experience NEW small things, it really is the small things as they say.  9. Most of the time while the Mr. and I are winding down while the kids are in bed I am playing/checking my phone (those days are over when I could anytime), I think it annoys him, meh. 10. I cannot sleep well when my kitchen is messy and I need my sleep so it is always clean-ish by the end of the night.  11. When I get the chance (Mr watches baby) I can still sleep till 10, I AM NOT a morning person, I cannot fall asleep early either unless I am sick, even when the baby was colicky and I was a zombie, pretty ridiculous actually.  12. I have watched someone die by being hit by a car, worst night ever.  13. I can have a hard time of showing emotion.  14. I have been told I am fearless. 15. My husband is my very best friend, but the best friends whom I have been close to the longest are the loyal ones. Loyalty means everything to me. 

Album of the (my) summer

Gatsby. I wouldn't go as far as saying movie of the summer (against Iron man & Star Trek c'mon) but album ?! Yes! Talk about motivation while running , working out, partying, boring car rides... Gatsby's where it's at. I love majority of the songs, not only that Leonardo pops in here and there with some Gatsby lines (perfect). There is hip hop, rock, 20s sounding bop mixed with currents, I could go on... Highly recommend go DL it !

A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (one of the songs ........true statement). 

Pool and Summer begins

We took the kids to the club on Saturday for their "soft" opening before Memorial day, and we had a blast! Katelyn is going to be a water baby, she loves it and the cold water didn't even bother her. The trips and their cousin had a great time on the diving board and slides. I am so happy the weather is *finally* warming up so that we can enjoy being outside! We plan to launch the boat this weekend. Hoping the baby likes boats as well because we are boaters! 

On Sunday we did some back porch sitting, wine drinking and a little grilling. You could say were living for the weekend around here!

Amazon

Shopping site addiction.
Amazon. Anyone? Anyone else? Um...Yeah. Amazon is my bff. From ordering baby items to hair products to anything under the sun! Super easy, free shipping (prime member holla!)
Since baby girl has came along I haven't been able to go out shopping per usual so Amazon prime is my best friend! The best part? The midwest Amazon shipping facility is just a few exits away, so everything is usually shipped within a day or two. The Mr. calls me the Amazon Queen since now he sees all of the boxes unlike before where I was able to hide/trash my shopping bags (oops) but everything is needed. Plus Amazon is usually always cheaper than most stores, I just love it. I hope there are other mommies / busy ladies out there that concur! 

New name , new look!

I've been wanting to change my blog look and name for some time now BUT I had NO idea where to start. 

I write mostly about the family and baby. I love to write about favorite products of ours and fun adventures the Mr and I go on as well. I feel like we live two lives, the family life and we want the exciting exploring couple life. It is so important for my husband and I to keep our relationship a priority and not get sucked into being only a worker for the family. 

Whats in a name? When the Mr and I first started dating we would go out on some dates and really dress up, we still like to when we can (but that is very rare) to keep the romance alive. Well once mommy hood came along full time and all of the things with the trips I started to wear yoga pants  A LOT so there is a running joke with the Mr and I.  He loves to shop for me instead of gift cards (which I love) so this year one of my Christmas gift was yoga pants & stilettos in the same box as a joke. 

So welcome to my new blog, Yoga pants v.s. Stilettos a question I ask myself every day. I'll give you a guess which one is winning lately, maybe it should have been yoga pants v.s. wine or AND wine, but that would make me out to be such a lush. 

A bunch of things are coming soon in the links so look out for them! Thanks for your support.

Mother's Day

Mothers Day was wonderful. The weekend was extremely busy I was very tired and lethargic after the Mr's grill steak dinner (my fav) ! My little love let me take a long nap on Sunday (much needed). We went to brunch with the in laws and then my mom came over for the steak. Lots of memories made.

I am SO happy to be her momma. I love her so very much. She is everything we could ask for and more! I hope all you mommas out there enjoyed your day!

Derby Weekend

We had a impromptu family derby party on Saturday. The girls were interested in the horses and we tried to explain the hats and the traditions, so we told them to go get fancy and lets have a derby party! We wore our dresses, hats, bet and had a grill out. We did a "lotto" style bet. I was going to put my name next to Orb first but of course daddy got him right before me. Since he won, the condition was you get to pick what we do for the rest of the night (we all knew that meant video games). Even little diva joined in the fun.

On Sunday we finally got to meet my friends son who was born 3 days before Katelyn. It was fun comparing notes and the milestones. He can do this crazy "army" style crawl , was so cute! Katelyn is only roly poly (for now).
