First project of many...

For the past few months I have been really wanting to paint some furniture. I've begged Michael to let me paint something and he finally agreed that I could paint this ugly desk that we had. I mean it was hideous and he insisted we HAD to have it. 

I still need a lot of practice before I attempt to do my dressers! I will just be practicing on cheap furniture until then! I also want to do our kitchen table, chairs and our stands next to the couches! 

So here are before and after pictures!

I painted it with homemade chalk paint. It was so easy! Just mix the paint with some POP and water and BAM you got chalk paint! No sanding required. 

This table looks perfect in my bedroom now and I love love love this color. It's called intense teal! It's intense alright and I love it! I seriously can't wait to paint something else! 

Vegas...

That is all...

Totally kidding.

This weekend was a BLAST with my sisters in Vegas! I seriously cannot thank Michael enough for sending us there.

First off, the show O, I mean OH MY GOODNESS. It was amazing! I wish I could have taken pictures but I didn't want to get kicked out.

 This is us before the night started! 

First drinks of the night at the show. Uhh let me just add in there, can we say EXPENSIVE!

Walking to the show! We haven't even drank yet! We are crazy!

On our way to the club, we got free drinks all night!

The only 2 that made it out of the club...the other was "sleeping"

I had soooo much fun! Seriously couldn't have asked for a better night!

I did cut my trip short because I missed my boys so so entirely to much! I had never been away from Avery and I just couldn't handle it! Next time I go, they will be older! 

So I came home to hang with these boys!

Here's to being 23! I hope this year is as great as last year! I seriously love my life and could not ask for better people to be in it! 

Mommy Problems

Lately I have been finding myself complaining about being a stay at home mom. How I am bored all the time and staying home just isn't for me. I complain to Michael, to my mom, and to everyone else around me who will listen. 

I do believe that this job is for some people and then not for some people. Being a stay at home mom just isn't for me. Don't get me wrong I absolutely enjoy being able to wake up to my kids every morning, setting their schedules, and being able to see them play and grow every single day. If I wasn't a stay at home mom I wouldn't have been able to see Avery sit up for the first time or Tae take his first steps. 

So I read a blog the other day about this mom who desperately wants to be a stay at home mom but her family just cannot afford for her to quit her job. Then it clicked in my head how lucky I am to be awarded this job. I should be grateful that I can do what other moms would kill to do. Michael goes to work every day, bust his butt so I can stay home and take naps. He doesn't complain, so why should I. 

I am going to take this opportunity of staying home and run with it. Instead of complaining about it I'm going to fix it. When I'm bored I will find something to do. Maybe play with my kids more do art projects play cars, go for a walk (when it cools down immensely). Being a stay at home mom should be fun and from now on I will make it that way. 

No.More.Conplaining!!! 

What?? 5 months already!

I cannot believe Avery is already five months old. Where the heck did time go? I feel like just yesterday Michael and I were bringing him home from the hospital. Now he is 5 months old, he is smiling, talking, and even laughing. 

Oh and he sat up yesterday, all on his own! 

He eats solids at dinner time and is FINALLY learning what a nap is. I can't wait to see what the next month or so has in store for him. He is getting so big and learning so much. 

Avery is definitely my sweet baby and a mommy's boy! 

Holy Cow...It finally happened!

THIS HAPPENED!!

I finally got out of the 150s, I thought this day would never come. Last week I was so close, I weighed in at 150.8. So frustrating being that close and not reaching it. 

I am so proud of myself, I really needed this right now to motivate myself to continue on.

I know I have a LONG way to go, but it's a step A BIG STEP! 

Next step, the 130s!!!
