Dear Friday

Dear Friday,
Hello there! Long time no see eh? Okay so I have to admit I kind of forgot that today was Friday. You see, Friday, since I am a high rolling, money-making teacher I often forget about you. But what I love about you, Friday, is that you don't ever hold that against me. You still treat me just as good as ever before. Anyway, I'm really glad you're here. Let's be best friends forever k?

Okay! I'm going to stop talking like a real freak-a-zoid and get down to business. I am pretty excited for a few reasons. Here we go.

1. Xavier & I went to some thrift stores today and got some great board games for my classroom (for when it's inside recess) and some other school supplies.

2. I figured out my theme for my classroom next year & found some great organization tips! Yay! Thanks Pinterest, you're my homie.

3. Also, it's Friday night and I am sitting at home reading good ole Harry Potter.

4. Tomorrow is my sister in law's birthday AND she's having a luau (sp?)! Rilyn told me she's totally stoked out of her mind for her first luau. I really wish I could've found a grass skirt for baby Ri but I didn't have much luck searching today.

Anywho, hope you're all having as wild of a Friday night as me! Adios bitchachos!

3rd Month Faves

Holy balls! Is it just me or is time flying? Ri turned THREE MONTHS on June 27th. Where does the time go? In honor of her three month birthday (haha) I thought I'd post some things that were major life savers during her third month of life. Okay I'll shut up and starting posting.

 

I feel pretty lucky to have such a sweet, easy baby. I tried not to get into the habit of rocking her all the way to sleep before every nap and before bed time. I'll rock her a little bit until she's sleepy, then put her down (and naturally her eyes POP wide open) and let her put herself to sleep so to speak. Something that she really really loves is her cute little owl mobile. Every time I lay her down and turn it on, she smiles at me like, "Oh thanks, mom!" Kinda breaks my heart a little cause little does she know.....she's about to go to sleep. Haha. BUT I'm SO happy she loves it and I am able to get some use out of it because I've heard a lot of people say they only bought theirs for looks and never used theirs.

 

 

My sweet little angel also has a terrible cold that I think she caught from her horrid mother. Poor thing has had snot running down her nose constantly! I bought some boogie wipes cause I liked the name, but turns out they have actually really been helpful! I've been wiping her nose left and right, annoying her to death, but they are really gentle on her nose and have saline in them too!

Rilyn LOVE, LOVE, LOVES her little bouncer. It vibrates and plays music, so I call it her baby massage chair. It's pretty great. I always put her in it when I need to get ready or do something around the house. She just sits in it and smiles, loving life.

This isn't the exact bouncer I have, but it's  very similar!

 

Aaaaaaand this post wouldn't be complete without a cute picture of Rilyn. Let's throw it back to when she was a wee little one.

 

Ri when she was only 3 DAYS old! (Look at the paws on that girl!)

3 MONTHS old! My little drool baby. Love her.

 

 



 

 

What am I thinking?

Okay, so let me be the FIRST person to say that I have no idea what the heck I'm doing. Like, at all. Not even in the slightest. SO no Judgey McjJudgersons please. :)

I started this blog because I thought it would be a great way for distant family members and friends to keep updated on Rilyn and me! I really, really wanted to do one when I was pregnant but never did so I might do a few throwback posts from my good ole preggo days, so be prepared.

First, this week was the Fourth of July wahoooooooooooo!Party! Right? Last year? Yes. This year? No. Rilyn & I went to bed around 11:30 but you would've thought we were  up all night taking body shots (of milk of course) and rollin (on the floor, playing duh!) by the way we slept in the next morning.

We celebrated the 4th by BBQing some delicious and not so nutritious food at my brother's house in Kuna. Then we bummed around til it was dark and lit off some fireworks. Totally legal ones of course. I'm no law-breaker.  My handsome little nephew, Xavier, was OBSESSED with those little snapper things (popper poppers as he called them) and asked us every 5 seconds (literally) if he could play popper poppers. As cute as it sounds, he was driving us all to drink. It was finally night time and I was a wee bit nervous that Ri would poop her little diaper at the sound of the fireworks. NOPE! She basically just chilled like villain and hung out on my lap. She's such a good little baby!

Here are some great photos from our ever-so exciting Fourth:

Getting ready to go watch the fireworks! Woooooooo!
