I'm going for it...even if I'm squeamish.

It's funny.
You haven't heard from me in months.
When you do, I decide to blog about something uber personal.

Well, I did the math.
Once a month for about 25 years, my "Aunt Flo" has said "I'm here!"..minus a couple months for pregnancy and nursing my young.
It added up to roughly $2500...you know!, the stuff, the stuff you need.

Seriously?!  You ask?
Yeah, I am gonna go there.  I thought why not?
Most of you reading this have an "Aunt Flo" too!

So, I have a friend ...whom will remain nameless, cuz she isn't as bold as me, and she begged me not to name her name.... 
She told me about an awesome invention, that at first made me super squeamish and uncomfortable and disgusted all at the same time.

And then she handed it to me, so that I didn't have to even go online, and order it, or research it, or devour all the information, for the questions I had.

It did take a couple of months to get the hang of it. (Eww.)
Now, I love it.
A lot.
Cuz it saves me time and money, and unpleasantries.

And if you think you can't handle it....my 18 year old nanny tried it this summer and she is hooked!

Wanna know more?

I'm gonna have to refer to a link.  Cuz, some of you may have not even made it to the end of this post.

Any questions?  You can call/text/make a comment/email me.

Oh, and I love their tag line, "Being a woman just got easier."

Toodles and awkwardness....

Rockin' Wedding

Doesn't every bride want this on her wedding day?

Of course, without the fear that her groom will find her

too heavy and topple over.

We attended a special wedding last weekend.

And the kids are of the age that it "works".

They can run around on the dance floor.

Eat all the cake they want.

Leave us alone a bit.

I wore this dress to two different weddings,

that's a good cost per wear ratio right?

It's from the Gap, and frankly, I think it would be great 

bridesmaid dress.

I'm gonna do more pics, less words.....here we go...

 {Turner was grumpy, he wanted gum.}

 The couple did a unity painting instead of a candle, cool huh?

 Ah snap, this could be our Christmas card!

 Look who caught the bouquet!

Congrats Ashley and Elliot!

All because two people fell in love....

Labrador Blue

Turner needed a big boy room.... bad.

He turned 3 years old in April.

You may think we are crazy, but we went with a

queen size bed for him.  He's gonna be a big boy some day, literally.

And he's known to be our cuddler...so whoever tucks him

in can enjoy that time in a big bed.

Of course, I scoured Pinterest for some help.

Here's what we did...

The color on the walls is "Labrador Blue".

 

And yes, you have seen that painting before. It poses as a
pseudo headboard...I had it in my entryway and
I never loved it there.

And since the boy is into trains...

...we had to get him this...even tho I am not a fan
of toys in kid's rooms.

I plan on doing something with these...and I had thought I would
pair them with antlers...but maybe I missed the boat?!?!
Is the antler trend over?

Well, we need something on the walls.

Maybe this?

Either way...when I asked Turner if he liked his room
he did lots of  this....

Boys are so easy...

...Almost forgot!  We witnessed the birth of 12 baby goldfish
today!  Lots of questions about babies and cha-cha's.
{That's what we call vagina's in this house. Wow, never thought
that word would make the blog.}

Can you see them?  They are sooo tiny!

Toodles...
