A Day At The Park


Spaghetti with Butter

So we gave Shiloh Spaghetti with butter the other night for dinner because when we give her the spaghetti with sauce it is just a huge mess so her are her pictures with just butter.. imagine how it would be with sauce.

My Typical Day As A SAHM

Here is my typical day with Shiloh on days I do not have B Boy:

Shiloh wakes me up between 7 & 8. We have a bottle then breakfast. Then we watch Yo Gabba Gabba {I usually check my computer & make a blog post}
Then we play with her toys & read a few books. Then we get ready to start our day with shower/baths & once we are dressed & ready we usually go out to explore. Target, Marshalls's, Ben Franklin, the park {if the weather permits} or the mall park. I like to get out & walk so if I don't need to run to the store or feel like driving anywhere we walk around the neighborhood.
Then around 11 Shiloh has lunch then we play with her toys some more.. then She takes a nap around 1 & I clean the house or do laundry or if I am sleepy I will nap when she does. Then she wakes up around 3 & we take out dinner to thaw or to start getting ready & then we play some more & watch cartoons.
Shiloh eats dinner around 6ish sometimes she holds off to eat when daddy gets home so we can eat as a family. Then its time to get ready for bed. She has her last bottle of the night while snuggled with daddy on the couch & then she goes to bed around 9 or 9:30. Then Stephen & I watch our shows & I blog & catch up on email & we are in bed no later then 11.

Short, Medium or Long

 {Me Now}

So I love to change my hair.. I am very daring with it & will do just about anything. Right now I am bored with it & its just making me feel unpretty. So I need some help on what I should do. Here are some pictures of me with different lengths & color. So I would love to have some feedback :-)

Long & Dark

Medium Natural
 

Medium Length with Long Side Bang
{sorry I am so orange in this pic LOL}
  

Short A Line with Highlights

Short Natural

I was thinking of maybe even doing something like this? But no blonde just natural with some highlights.
But I am seriously considering going back to my short hair like Pink's but no Blonde just natural with some blonde highlights in the front.

So if you could leave me your thoughts & suggestions or if you have any better ideas they would be appreciated :-)

I ♥ my husband.. he is such a hard worker & he is the best husband & father even on days when he is exhausted. He is so amazing & I am so blessed to have such a wonderful man to call my husband. He provides us with so much & to live a nice life while I stay home & care for our daughter.

I ♥ my daughter Shiloh without her I would not have so much love in my heart & I wouldn't have so much happiness in my days. she is the light of my life.

I ♥ my house. I love my house & all the room we have.. I love it even more now that it is all starting to come together as well.

I ♥ our faith & that even with all the medical stuff that can bring us down & could make us give up on having another baby.. that we still continue believing that we can get pregnant naturally & that it will happen for us when God decides it is time.

I ♥  B Boy.. he is such a good two year old & I love watching him & I love that his parents are just two wonderful people.

I ♥ my blog & all the wonderful people I am meeting through it & all the great followers I have :-)

New House Decor

So we are still needing things to fill our new home & I am so excited about our recent buys. I wanted to share them all with you!

I found this beautiful pot for my porch at Marshall's for $14.99. I love the color & I can't wait to go buy my flowers for it. Also the color is so pretty & it's the perfect start for my front porch.

We finally bought our futon for our 3rd bedroom for when guest come & stay. I love it! We bought it at IKEA for only $299.99 & I decided to go with a neutral color so I could find some fun colors to put with it & in the room.

So I found these pillows that are exactly what I was looking for. Again I found these at Marshall's & I LOVE THEM! $24.99 for both! {Marshall's is my new favorite store}

Our Master Bedroom! So we bought a new bedroom set last year & in our old place we didn't have enough room for nightstands. But in our new home we have a TON of room for nightstands & more! I found two new nightstands & I am so excited about them. I wanted us to each have different ones. Stephen needs draws because he likes to keep a lot of stuff near him as he sleeps. {Why? I haven't a clue but he is the hordder of the family LOL J/K} So we found this one that is super cute & has a draw & a basket for all his nick nacks.

For me I just needed something for my pictures, house phone, book & lamp. I don't need draws just something simple. So I found this one & I love it! Both night stands were purchased at Marshall's & one was $40 & the other $50.

So here is half of our room.. & I love it. Country with a bit of romance❤
Eventually I want to add an oversized armchair & ottoman.. but that will be in time.

Not My Child Monday



So this is my first Not My Child Monday.. I hope its a success.

So this past week we all had a horrible cold & we bought Shiloh a Vick's Humidifier for her room.. well the other day I thought I would let her play in her room after I finished getting her dressed & while I got ready to head out to run some errands... well it was Not My Child that decided to take apart the humidifier & play in the water that was left.. no my child would never be so smart to know how to disassemble it. Once I was done & ready to go I went to get her & found that she reeked of Vick's & was soaking wet.. as well as her floor so for the rest of the day she was no longer referred to as Shiloh.. she was referred to as Vicky Icky:P

So we have been trying to teach Shiloh where her eye's, ears, nose & mouth are.. well she is doing really well with knowing where our eye's are but its Not My Child who thinks that it is Hi instead of Eye I mean who would ever think we are calling it that.. so now not only does she poke your eye out to show you where it is but she also says "Hi". How we are going to correct that I haven't a clue since she thinks that is what we are saying LOL

So we are learning new forms of punishment, we are not going to be parents who spank theie children.. we were doing a little spank on the hand & well it just back fired on us. So lately it has been time out & also making sure she understands what she has done to be in trouble. So we tell her in a stern voice "No Mam & that that is not OK" & then she has to sit next to us on the couch in silence. {Its not easy trust me} Well it is certainly Not My Child that now when we do things such as take a toy away if she is bad or when we are trying to catch her to change her she will looks at us & say "No No" & also spanks us on the hand.. I mean my child would never punish us right.. right LOL

Over the weekend I put Shiloh down for her afternoon nap.. when she woke up I heard her playing in her crib & thought well she sounds content so I will just let her play while I finish up what I was doing. Once she started fussing I went in & it was Not My Child that had taken her diaper off & was playing in her pooh.. I mean what child would want to play in pooh.. it was also Not My Child who seems to have her self covered in it but nothing on the bed or bedding.. weird right.. well after a good scrub in the tub my princess was nice & clean & I now know she must were a onesie or pants when unattended.

Well that is it for this week of Not My Child Monday hope you enjoyed & I look forward to reading what you & your child/children have not been up to this week :-)
