Okay. A sign that I am old. I no longer read magazines with juicy celebrity gossip. I now like reading magazines like Good Housekeeping, Woman's Day, and Redbook. I mean, I still like to get the scoop about the celebs out there but I can get that online or during the Hizzywood Hizzzle (shout-out Kidd Kraddick in the Morning!).
I stole this mommy survey from GH.
1. What's the best part of your day?
Coming home from work and hearing Ava shout "mommy!" as she runs toward me :)
2. Is there a parenting rule you never break?
Unfortunately I've probably broken a million rules I always said I wouldn't before I had kids. I'm still learning.
3. What's your beauty must have?
Chapstick. I never re-apply lip gloss and barely ever use lipstick but you will always find me slabbing on chapstick. I love Maybeline's BabyLips!
4. What's always in your bag?
My lifeline aka iPhone, check card, and hand sanitizer.
5. What's always in your fridge?
Fruit. Milk. Bacon bits, cheese, and eggs.
6. What book are you reading now?
Suzanne Collin's Catching Fire. I am almost half way through it and it's getting good! The problem is trying to find time to read it for long stretches.
7. Three words that describe you as a mom?
Blessed. Busy. Tired.
8. Three words that describe you as a wife?
Faithful. Crazy. Lova :)
9. Do you still find time for a girl's night out?
It's definitely harder to find the time as often as I would like sadly. But when we do get together its great!
10. When do you find time for you?
I take my sweet time in the shower. It's my time to let my day go and unwind for just a moment.

Orlando Preview
I haven't had a chance to upload pics from our trip to Orlando but I do have some from my phone, a little preview of our mini vacation!
My car buddy on the way there :)
Hogwarts! This place was so cool. Wish it wasn't so crowded so I could really enjoy it more. But still awesome!
Ahhh, Butterbeer! Basically a vanilla cream soda. It was yummy!
Lily's first Easter. She's wearing the bib and hat Ava wore on her first Easter :) look at that precious smile!
Ava was able to see Barney or "Narney" as she says it. She loved the show!
Camera fun with miss Ava!
The rest of our fun caught on camera is to be continued....

Pinspired Wish List
After spending many hours on pinterest per week it always makes me want to go shopping or make something.
This is my most recent wish list. I'm thinking I'll use some of my birthday loot to grab a few :)
In really digging this trend. And I love how I can pair it with a colored bottom!
I need to invest in a statement necklace. It just adds that va-va-voom to any outfit.
I love anything and everything chevron and I have been searching desperately for this dress! Once I find it, it's going to be mine!
I love the much anticipated Naked 2 palette eye shadow from Urban Decay. I could use these colors for any ocassion.
Noah got me my first pair of TOMS for my birthday, in this print too! I love them! They are super comfy and they have been my go-to shoe on the weekend! And Ava has a matching pair!
This blush is must have. It is such a gorgeous shade and provides just the right color and glow for the summer:)
I heart these black tip pair of pumps or any toe dipped shoe
for that matter. These especially though. And these were DIY ones! I have to find some taupe colored suede pumps ASAP!
I used to hate the baggy jean look but I've been liking the boyfriend jeans! This has to be the easiest outfit to put together when you can't decide on what to wear. Cute.Comfy.Perfection.
Leopard print. Just adding a little of this to an outfit and you are making a statement without much effort! I'm going crazy over these leopard print smoker flats. Especially how I've seen them being worn lately with colored denims, shorts, stripes, etc. I need to find a pair!

Crazy Weekend Recap
These last two weeks have been crazy and they won't slow down for another two weeks!
Two weekends ago was Ava's birthday/St. Patrick's Day. We had our friends from Virginia come in town. We went downtown to be a part of the parade festivities and went out into the craziness that was downtown that night. Here are some pics. We had a great time!
My TWO year old! I can't even handle it!
Our awesome friends that came to visit (Yari, Jeremiah, Kellie, an Shannon)
Lily didn't make it downtown but she still looked cute in her shamrock dress :) Ava wore those exact same socks last year :)
Last weekend was Amy's Bachelorette and my birthday :) It was awesome because all my friends were in town and we had a blast being together! What could I want more than a weekend at the spa and a girl's night out with ALL your best friends!
Me and the bride-to-be! Her wedding is this weekend. Should be another great weekend! I can't wait to see how beautiful she'll look in her wedding dress! Must bring tissues :)
