Add a little color

Have you been noticing all the pastel tipped ends that so many celebs have been wearing on the runway lately. I would love to try this! Kevin Murphy’s Color Bug in pastel pink is adorable and so me. It’s very easy to apply and goes on like chalk. If you want to order your own color bug, they are $24 at Studio 8 and come in a few pastel colors! So fun :)





Happy coloring!

Just a little Something!

So I have been looking for something to put on the wall in our bedroom and it seems that nothing has been just right that is until now. I found this idea on Pinterest and I can't wait till this weekend to go get my materials and get it completed! I think it is absolutely adorable and so easy! So what do you think??



Have a wonderful Tuesday Friends!

Tasty Tuesday ~

It seems that lately I have been all about yummy quick and easy dinners. I think I will have to blame it on working full time, having a busy 4 year old, and being pregnant. I found this the other day and it sounded so yummy I couldn't wait to try it. Luckily it was a hit with the family and saved me a lot of time!




Chicken Italian:

What You Need:
8 oz uncooked spaghetti
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 package (1 lb) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 can (19 oz) Progresso® Vegetable Classics hearty tomato soup
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (2 oz)

Make it:
1. Cook and drain spaghetti as directed on package.

2. Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Cook garlic and chicken in oil 3 to 4 minutes on each side until chicken is light brown.

3. Sprinkle basil and pepper flakes on chicken. Pour soup over chicken; sprinkle with cheese. Cover and simmer 10 minutes.

Hope you and your family enjoy it as much as we did!

Today I'm linking up with the following blog parties:

Updated belly pics

Yes its been forever since I've updated my blog. I just haven't taken the time to sit down at the computer and blog but, I'm going to try to really make this something that I keep updated more frequently.

It amazes me that I only have 12 weeks left and our little girl will be joining us, that is if she arrives on time which her sister did not! I am excited and nervous at the same time. What is life going to be like with two little girls? Ava keeps me busy enough and now I'm getting ready to add another to the mix! I know it will all work out and I can't wait!

So here is a belly update:


Yes I know the paper is backwards and I didn't think about it when I took the photo but you all get the idea. Things are going good we have started the nursery and hope to have it completed by the middle of February if not sooner. Photos will have to come later.

I'm heading back to work today after a 3 week winter vacation and I'm not sure I ready for the regular routine, oh well ready or not here I come.

Have a great Monday!

Vacation = Hospital Stay + Exciting News!!

I know I have been really bad about keeping my blog up to date, but I have a good reason. Yes, I know that is what all us blogger in a rut say, but I really do!

On July 27th I became very sick and was in horrible pain all night long. Finally after hours of being sick I felt some relief and finally was able to get some sleep. I was leaving the next day for a very fun family vacation. My dad was turning the big 6-0 and the whole family had a planned trip to see my sister's new house she had just purchased in Huntington Beach, along with many other adventures in So Cal. This was a trip I had been looking forward to all summer, and I didn't want anything to get in the way. On the 28th I thought it would be best to make an appointment with my doctor just to make sure everything was OK since I still wasn't feeling myself. After some time at the doctors office I discovered that I needed to have some test run however, with our flight leaving early afternoon I couldn't get the test done before we needed to leave. I know silly right, well being the stubborn person that I am I thought it was nothing and would soon go away so we all boarded the plane.

After the short plane ride the pain seemed to increase and I knew something wasn't right. We arrived at my sister's new beautiful home at 8:30PM and at 10:29PM I was checking into Huntington Beach ER. After hours of test I was admitted to the hospital at 3:00AM only to discover that I would be going in for emergency surgery! Yes, that's right what I thought was something minor and would go away was not going anywhere without surgery. About 9:00 AM on July 29th (My Dad's Birthday) I went in for an emergency appendectomy. The doctor's thought it would only be a little infected however once they where in they discovered it was just hours from bursting. So I guess you could say I'm not the best at judging whether or not something is serious or minor.

Unfortunately I missed out on a great concert with the family, trips to the beach, and of course the wonderful shopping. I did celebrate with everyone on Saturday, however I was pretty low key. This will not only be a family vacation that I will never forget but it will also be a birthday that my dad will never forget!! Happy
60th Dad!!

Oh don't think the excitement ends here . . . .

While in the ER we not only found out I would be having emergency surgery but we also found out I was pregnant!! Yes that is right I'm due April 7th. So for the past 13 weeks I have been not only recovering from surgery, preparing for the beginning of a new school year, starting a new school year, but I have also been dealing with ALL day sickness!! It has just been in the past week that I am starting to feel better so hopefully I can get back on track with blogging!!

We are all very excited and Miss Ava is super excited to finally be a big sister!! So stay tuned for all the excited that this adventure brings! I'll keep you posted!!
