it's RAINING it's POURING...


SO 
unlike the old man
we make pretties, to not be boring, & instead of snoring!


we actually made these over the weekend... but just getting around to posting them today.
AND yes, I say "we" because my Prissy pants did help...
she helped me by being a good little girl and watching Mommy make her something pretty,
and only getting into the rhinestones and ribbon a few times! ha



{{Doot-Doot's}}

(a 'doot-doot' - for those who do not know, is a cardboard roll from toliet paper)





I know, I know, I went a little overboard,
BUT
I think they are FABULOUS and adorable!

NOT Me Monday





{{confession session}}





*I'm obsessed with watching this trial, again...
(oh and can I just say type...GUILTY!)


*I am WAY overdue on:
~coloring my hair
~my eyebrows
~tanning
(I'm seriously an albino right now)

Why is it SO hard to keep up with personal maintenance once being a Mommy?


*I may or may not have done some shopping (grocery) over the weekend
while pms'ing, which I discovered I should NEVER do again
(shopping, not pms'ing- I WISH I could never do that again!)
needless to say, there's A LOT of chocolate in the fridge, freezer, and pantry!


* true fact: I drank 3 yoo-hoo's in one day!

SHOES-day Tuesday






LOVE this sandal!
what's not to love?
it's hot pink and has bling!

and too, it reminds me of the pair Miss Priss just got...




would it be a bit too much if I got the pair above to match her?
ha




HAPPY SHOES-day!

sweet little things





 really start taking advantage of this little blog of mine to fill it with posts of sweet little things 
that I want to remember about my Prissy pants!

(besides, her 'Baby Book' has NO more room)

It is SO easy to get caught up in all the cooking & cleaning 
and Mommy'ing 
(I'm aware that I just made up that word!)
and forget to capture all the sweet things throughout the days.

So I'm making a vow... or well a promise
{{cross my heart & kiss my elbow}} (BAT)
to try & make a better effort at sitting down to write about all the little things that
touch my heart- because there are many moments I have throughout the day 
and I don't want to forget them!

Besides, being a Mommy... has given me "Mommy Brain"- 
which is FAR worse than the "Pregnancy Brain"!
{{true fact- ask all Mommies! ha}}








My Sweet Sweet Baby...


OR 
well I guess technically I'm not suppose to be calling her "baby" anymore
instead I'm suppose to be calling her a "toddler"... or according to Gerber, and all my Mommy magazines...
BUT
Sorry, she's still and forever will be my BABY!


this little post, is really for myself
there are some things that my Prissy pants has been doing lately and I just don't want to forget them!



*Whenever I pick her up- she puts her arms around my neck and squeezes me with a hug!
{{LOVE this!}}
and just yesterday, she patted my back- like I do hers... ahhh!
she has done this to her baby dolls- but yesterday was the first time she did it to me!

*She is now "properly" waving 'Hello' & 'Goodbye'
(although I prefer her old wave)

*Can say "dog" & "duck"- although they both sound about the same!
(she LOVES dogs!)

*Whenever she comes up behind me whenever I'm cooking  and wraps both of her arms around my legs!
(it is the SWEETEST thing!)

*She LOVES trying on & walking in Mommy's shoes...
and she does a pretty good job at it if I do say myself!
{{Nonna got her a pair of "fake" high heels & she is OBSESSED with them- 
although her feet are too tiny for them and she gets SO upset when her feet won't stay in them!}}
She is definitely my 'Mini Me'!


*She "feeds" her piggy (piggy bank) whenever she finds change or is given change-
it is the cutest thing! I'll just say go feed your piggy and off she goes to her room!



*She's still LOVING...
(her favorites)

{{snacks}}
*CHOCOLATE
{{such the little 'Chocoholic"- like her Momma, & Nonna too!}}
*Goldfish... or "fishies"
*Teddy Grahams 
*Smoothies

{{things to do}}
*reading her books
(or well, flipping the pages, while I read to her)
her favorite is STILL the Princess book...
"I'm Going to be the Best Princess Ever"
&
Thankfully I know ALL the words- so she can do her favorite thing ( turn the pages)
without letting me see the words on the pages!

*having 'Pool Days'
she is for sure a "water baby"!

*getting in her stroller for walks in the neighborhood!
(although these have been short and few lately due to the extreme heat!)

*playing "Mommy" to her babies!
-pushing her favorite in her baby stroller
*playing Chef!

*Making MESSES!  haha 
(this is her FAVORITE)

*Helping Mommy unload the dishwasher- 
I don't know why she LOVES this SO much?!
(my guess is, when old enough she'll start to despise this)

*Playing with 'Angel' and chasing her around!

*When Mommy paints her toes!
(she knows the drill, and starts to blow on them with me to let them dry!)


I'm sure I have forgotten a few...
she's just at that stage now, where it's something new every day! 



NOT Me Monday





{{confession session}}


the one about my favorite shows...


*I did not just catch up on part 2 of the O.C. Housewives... NO, not me!
oh and can I just say type... "TEAM Gretchen, Alexis, & Jeana!"
still NOT a fan of the newbie!
*I am not beyond ecstatic, of the return of PLL {{Pretty Little Liars}}... NO, not me!
although I was not able to finish all of it due to DirecTV- apparently it was raining whenever this premiered- b/c it alerted me at the beginning it did not record all of it- and sure enough- the last 15 minutes- GONE!
{{sometimes I really do not like DirecTV!}}



SHORT & SWEET today!

HOPE it's a wonderful Monday for everyone!


with LOVE,
A

the Slipper Genie


a girls other best friend...





I WANT a pair!
NOT only are they functional but I think they are CUTE!
{{LOVE the bow, and of course the color!}}

I wonder if they come in Miss Priss' size?
maybe then I wouldn't have to run around her as much when she spills or drops things?!

Either way they are SO going on my Want List!






and the MIA award goes to...


MOI!



BUT I'm back now!

It's SO easy to get out of the 'Bloggin' World' sometimes!
{{I BLAME the heat! & not the bb team- the FL heat!}}

anyways... 

I would normally go back through and try to catch up- 
BUT since it's been FOREVER, 
that would be too much catching up for me!

I'm behind on a lot these days it seems!
even the fun stuff...
I still have yet to watch the Housewives (NJ not NY)
and the O.C. Reunion (part 1 & 2)
at least I'll have something good to watch on Girl's Night IN this week!

anywhoo...

HAPPY WINES-day Wednesday!

Sweet 16



my Prissy pants turned 16 months today!

SO
we had a little sweet celebration!
Yes, I technically let her have breakfast dessert... 
BUT 
only after having eggs and toast first though!

{{excuse all the toys- someone decided to move their toy basket 
and
take all the toys out as well!}}

(LOTS of pictures...)





























 and now for the CUPCAKE!
