Toys for Girls



Dustin and I braved the black friday masses...at around noon, once the crazy early birds were back in bed...and I couldn't help but notice what kind of "toys" my little girl has to look forward to. Here's how a day in the life of a woman is portrayed to our little ones...

Good Morning sunshine! Time to put on your make up and get beautiful for the busy day ahead!
Now that you're ready, it's time to wake up baby and get her ready for the day as well.
Now that we're all fresh and clean, time to make daddy breakfast before he heads off to work.
Good thing I have the handy cleaning trolley to help me vacuum, sweep, dust, and mop!
Now that the house is clean, time to put a load of wash in while also feeding the baby and doing some dishes.
And doing laundry only counts if you iron it as well - that means the socks and underwear too ladies!!
We've finished today's chores just in time to head to the grocery store. We have to hurry though because we're expecting company!
Time to relax and have tea with our girlfriends :)


I'm so glad I'm not a little girl - that's a lot of work!!

Ok, so I have to admit that I would have LOVED some of these toys when I was little. It's just funny that the things I dread doing on a daily basis are the very things I played when I was little. Shopping this weekend was just a funny little reminder of the past and what Dustin and I may have to look forward to with our little girl :)

Having a serious MELTDOWN!


I'm home with husband after a week apart and my dog after 3 months apart - happy as a cucumber! I casually mention to my husband that I feel like my legs are little puffy and he's quick to reply that yes, my ankles look pretty swollen. I didn't think much of it, b/c I can't see my feet...and I don't remember this conversations 5 minutes later because of earlier mentioned pregnancy/placenta brain. So I go to sit on the floor with D when I look down and see the area between feet and shins/calves where I used to have ankles...AAAGGGHHH!!!! And now I'm sitting here in between crying and laughing, but mostly crying as Dustin is looking for compression stockings for me to put on - because that will help to make me feel pretty!!? BE JEALOUS LADIES!!
