Diapers, Netflix & Hair Color

So glad it's Thursday!!!

It's okay:

That A insists on sleeping in only a diaper. Last night she woke up at 1 trying to get her pajamas off. Complaining that it was hot. As soon as she's out of pj's she's back asleep.

That I sat and watched 4 episodes of Pretty Little Liars yesterday!

That I'm addicted to Netflix & reading lately, meaning my blog is a little neglected.

That I'm ready to color my hair, when I just colored it about 2 weeks ago and had just got highlights a few weeks before that.

That I want to spend as much time in yoga pants & leggings as I can this Fall.

That I can't seem to keep up with laundry at my house, just as I get caught up it piles up again. 

Coffee, Cheating & Yellowstone

It's okay that:

I'm pretty upset that we don't have sugar for my coffee this morning. 

I was super pissed at my husband the other day because I had a DREAM he cheated on me. (He should know how to control himself in my dreams right?!)

I'm excited to be going to Yellowstone this month! Even if it is just a quick Fri-Sun trip!

I only have 1 item in my Shop. I'm pretty sure it's a great Fall accessory!

I mentioned my shop in this post! ha!

I have some more personal posts scheduled for this month, & I'm excited/terrified!

 A has a late night snack before she heads to bed, she always wants an Otter Pop right before she lays down, or cheese.

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone! Can't wait to see your posts!

It's Okay.

It's Okay That:

No one thought yesterday's video was funny, cause I sure did.
There are Fruit Loops all over my bedroom, because A likes it that way.
I empty my vacuum like once a day because it fills up so quickly. 
I'm sad that we finished all of the seasons of 30 Rock on Netflix.
I'm super excited to finally be doing a giveaway on my blog next week!
I haven't really written any blog posts this week, most were just drafts I finally posted.
I really feel like changing my hair & am trying to avoid cutting it since I'm trying to grow it out.
I'm a little upset about my baby being 18 months next week! Ah!

Showers, Diet Coke & Pizza

It's Okay

That today had the earliest time I've showered in probably months, & that early time was 8:40. 

That I automatically thought "I need a Diet Coke", when I woke up with a headache.

That I'm finally getting around to my Fall wreath today, that I've had sitting around for a couple weeks.

That I know the theme song to The Backyardigans.

That I've had pizza twice this week already & am planning on having it again tomorrow. 


So glad it's Thursday. I'm ready for the weekend. I'm starting to do some fall shopping for A, & I love it! It's so hard to find her clothes that fit her right though, she's tall but super skinny 18 month clothes are saggy but short on her. Oh well, gives us more time to shop together!

Oh & a quick hello to all my new followers! 

Creamer, Climbing & Crickets

It's Okay

That I'm super excited to show off all the stuff I got this week for either free or really cheap, tomorrow!

That I almost didn't post anything today.

That I decided I HAD to post something today.

That I didn't have creamer for my coffee this morning & I figured my day would suck. Ha. (It didn't by the way)

That I'm 3 days into my "diet" & I haven't seen a change on the scale & it's driving me crazy!

That my hair will probably all be gray or have fallen out by the time my child is 2 (17 months right now), because she climbs on everything!

To stare a second too long at the cute guy on the other side of the restaurant, only to realize you do know him & he's coming over to talk to you & your mom about his wife & kids.

To decide you want to live in yoga pants. 

To still be extra cautious going down stairs because of the spider from last week 

& the cricket from last night.

Squeals & Cupcakes

It's Okay

 That I squeal a little every time I see a new follower of my blog. 

(It's nice to see all my hard work pay off)

That A & I had a lazy day yesterday, we both hung out in lazy day clothes, me-yoga pants & a tank top, her- a onesie. 

(It was a cleaning day)

That some days this week have had 2 posts, I've had lots to say this week.

That I ate a few okay 5 of those cupcakes I posted about.


That I tell my dog to "Please find a new home" when he barks FOR NO REASON & wakes A up, putting her in a very very bad mood.
(I'm only joking with him)

  Really, It's Okay.

P.S. Super fun WoodRoze Sunglassses giveaway here!

Yoga Pants, Spiders & Chocolate Cake

It's Okay

      To wash my yoga pants every morning so I can wear them later that afternoon.

It's Okay

      To count 10 min of yoga as a workout, because well you're tired & just starting up working out again.

It's Okay

      To laugh when I catch A coloring on the wall because her dad wasn't watching her like he was supposed to.

It's Okay
To stare at the computer screen for 10 minutes because I can't remember what in the heck I was going to do.

It's Okay
To put off laundry today because I just saw a spider crawling on the ceiling of the basement & there is no way I'm walking under it.

It's Okay

To have a crazy looking craft/computer room, because A & I love to "create" in there. (Can't wait to show you guys what we've been working on!)

It's Okay

To be obsessed with Heroes on Netflix right now, like I was obsessed with Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Army Wives, Private Practice, Supernatural.... and so on. Any other Netflix suggestions?

It's Okay.
To be heading to grab a slice of chocolate cake for breakfast after this is all posted & linked up!      

Citiville, Word Verification & Other Stuff

Sometimes I play CityVille on Facebook, because A is asleep 

& I don't know what else to do.

Sometimes I don't get comments on posts that I don't link up to things.

Sometimes I don't comment on someone's post because of the darn word verification crap.

Sometimes I'll try and comment & give up 3 tries in.

I spent A LOT of time on PicMonkey this week. I'm addicted. 

I gave up  Day #2 of not drinking soda because Hubs was 

working late and A & I needed out of the house.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT!?

                 It's ALL okay!

Today I am thankful for a FIL who can come over after a long day at work and find out why I have a leak in the ceiling of my basement.



A brother who offered to come help even though, he can't drive & only has one hand that can be used.

A husband who works hard so that I can stay at home with my baby girl.
         Great blog friends & new followers

It's Okay!

It's Okay:

A is eating chocolate chips at 8:30 this morning, she did eat yogurt first. 

A is watching Curious George so I can get some blogging in real fast.

That A watches shows for about an hour in the morning so I can blog & get ready.

That I like my coffee sweet.

That the next couple weeks will be full of scheduled posts & link-ups because my sister is in town with her daughter & I want to spend as much time as I can with them!

That this is my second post today, because I wanted a special one for the start of ICLW.

That my blog looks a little crazy.

That it looks crazy because I'm slowly figuring out how to design it on my own.

That I'm designing it by myself because I'm too cheap to pay someone to do it, especially since I like to change my blog up ALL the time.

That this list got A LOT longer than I thought it would!

It's Okay.

It's Okay to:

• Be super excited & super nervous to get my eyelashes permed tonight!
• Turn a show on for A so I can get some cleaning done.
• Forget about laundry in the wash for a day, or two. 
• Be linking up every day this week there are so many great link-ups, stick around, next week will be a little different.
• Go to bed super early like around 8,  after not doing anything all day because you're super exhausted.
• Want chocolate for breakfast! 

It's Okay!

I haven't gone shopping since I was pregnant, like really shopping.

My weight was all over the place up then down then really up & up (thanks PCOS).

Well since I've lost my baby weight and am now 5lbs under it, I figured I should go shopping! I've consistently maintained this weight for almost 3 months! (Go me!) 

Tuesday I went shopping. I tried on a pair of jeans, a size smaller than what I was before A, and you know what! They fit!

It's okay that I squealed a bit about this quite loudly in the fitting room!

It's okay that those jeans run a bit big.

It's okay that the other 2 jeans I bought, were in the size I was before A. 

It's okay that I got a little sad about the other two pairs. 

It's okay that I smiled knowing I at least got one in a smaller size.

It's okay that I wrote this post early because, I was so excited about the smaller size that I just HAD to find a way to share with lots of people!

It's Okay.

After two ear infections and growing 4 teeth, A's schedule is messed up to say the least. Our baby that slept through the night at 5 weeks, was waking up after half an hour in her crib and even when putting her in bed with us, she tossed and turned ALL night and woke up every 1-2 hours.

So we went to the doctors. He checked her ears. Said that her ears looked great, and that it takes a while after being sick to get back into a sleep schedule. At least 2 weeks. 

Okay. Well that began operation "get A to sleep in her crib, all night, again."

It was hard. We are not a "cry it out" household. I just can't do that. 

So I can say that the last few nights, she's slept 5 hours, in her crib.

After that she sleeps in our bed. 

So she's not back to where she was, but it takes time.

It's okay that she only sleeps 5 hours in her crib. 

It's okay that she sleeps with us after that because, I usually end up falling asleep trying to get her to sleep. 

It's okay that we don't CIO at our house. 

It's okay that this might take a while to get her back to her old schedule. 

As for me,

It's okay that I'm skipping working out (again) this morning, so I can catch up on blogs and post something.

It's okay that I've slipped up the last month and had a couple sodas. 

Which reminds me, I do not like soda anymore. YUCK!

It's okay that I agreed to start watching the "demon child" again, even though I'm not sure that I like her.

It's okay that I only agreed to do it because, I didn't know how to tell her mom no.

It's all okay. 

I'm planning A's first birthday. That is not okay. She cannot grow up that fast. It's too fast. 

Someone, PLEASE make it STOP!

It's okay.

I haven't really sat down to write a post, written & inspired by me lately. 

I've been doing A LOT of linking up! 

Which I love, but it's also not being me. 

I love to talk, I really do. I can ramble for days, especially in the car.

 I feel like after Ab was born I started just writing about her, which I could do ALL the time, but what about those of you out there that don't have kids? 

I'll be TTC again soon, do you care to hear about that?

 I'm feeling a little lost right now. 

I've found so much support & I've found some amazing friends here. I just hope you'll continue to follow me, no matter what I blog about. I want to gain new followers, I'm stuck at 43 and I know that's great, but I see other blogs (I know I know, don't compare) with hundreds and I want to have that one day.

 I'm making bows A LOT lately, would it drive you crazy if I posted pictures of them? 

I know, it's my blog I can do what I want, but I want your approval. Sad, pathetic right? 

It's okay though.
All of it. 
It's okay that I blog mostly about my baby.
It's okay that I usually have to use link-ups to get post thoughts going.
It's okay if you don't read ALL of my posts because they aren't about topics you care to read about.
It's okay that I compare myself to other bloggers.
It's okay that this didn't start out as an it's okay post.


It's okay. I mean it. I feel it.
