catch up.

Things have been a little busy since the last time I posted (hence why it's been almost a week!) Anyways, lets see what has been happening. I have been keeping up with my OBS through Proverbs31 Ministries & I have been learning so much and I love it!! 

Bre brought home their class pet Shadow on Monday and she was beyond excited!  Each kid gets to take Shadow home then you write your adventures with her (or him to some) in the book. We had a busy few days with Shadow. We went to eat at Red Robin and she went with Bre to gymnastics and then Tuesday they played and we took a trip to Target and Costco and went to eat at Panera

Wednesday I helped out at Bre's school (I absolutely love doing that). Brad had off Thursday & Friday so we did our weekend stuff (grocery shopping and running around). Friday evening we went to my cousins to hang out and have dinner. It was really nice to just relax and catch up with family. B worked all weekend so Saturday Bre & I went to my nephews' basketball game and then had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings. We were hoping to make it to church but Bre wasn't feeling very good so we opted not to go. Sunday B worked again all day so Bre and I just hung out at home(I started to re-watch Gilmore Girls and Bre just played on the iPad/watched some shows) and had a lazy day tried to kick her cold.

I got some awesome mail this weekend I got a new book, and some new PuraVida & best part is I got 2 free bracelets!

 

       

lately....

How is is already February?? Wasn't it JUST Christmas??? Anyways, I dont feel like I have done one of these posts in quite awhile although there is nothing spectacular happening right now but none the less...

*B has been working a LOT so we are adjusting to that. Last week, we went in to the gym to help sort out fundraiser hoagies and it was pre-team practice night and Breanna wanted to stay and watch well she ended up being able to work-out with them and she was beyond thrilled and the girls were so sweet to her giving her hi-5 every time she did something, she was so sad that we had to leave after an hour. The love this kid has for gymnastics is so intense!

I have a pretty nice collection going (to say I am obsessed may be an understatement). I love that they are waterproof so you never have to take them off. They also have a variety of ones that support charities, they have anklets, kids ones and just so many to choose from!!! Below are a few of my favorites...(you can follow my Instagram account and I try and post sales going on and new arrivals they have!!!)

 

*I am going to have a mommy brag moment here.....I bought some BOB Books for Bre for closer to when she starts K this fall (how is that possible? How is she already going to be in Kindergarten????) well she decided she wanted to start now. They are awesome way to get kids to start reading and we have gotten through 7 books already. (There are 18 books in the set) Though she tends to get upset/frustrated when she cant get it the first time around but she is one that wants to be perfect in all she does (she is the same with gymnastics & gets that from Daddy!) I am so proud of her and she loves reading them. We also made flashcards for words throughout the books so she hopefully wont get so frustrated if she keeps practicing

*I started an online bible study last week & while at times I still feel like it's overwhelming, I also am so excited to continue my journey. Its through Proverbs 31 Ministries and it's called Becoming More than a good Bible Study Girl. I feel so grateful to have found this website and community to help me keep on journey

*I have found some super cute clothing pieces...the boyfriend jeans from Old Navy are my obsession right now & totally obsessed with this shirt.... (I LOVE Gilmore girls so when I saw it I had to get it, I will probably end up with more. I am also pretty partial to the Take me to Stars Hollow one as well!!!) I love graphic tees and would much rather wear those than any other kind of shirt

*Baxter got his first professional bath and he looked so handsome, I just loved cuddling with him after he was so soft and smelled so good 

well this turned out to be longer than expected so I will stop here.

       

Pura Vida [pure life]...........

I previously mentioned, I recently discovered PuraVida bracelets (think friendship bracelets revamped!!!) 

I made my first purchase last weekend & I am OBSESSED. The best thing I love about them is they are waterproof!!! Meaning you never have to take them off! (this is just 2 of the 6 I ordered! The black one is B's. 2 from my original order were back ordered so I am waiting for them to ship!) 

I am not posting about these because I was asked to, I am posting because I truly feel like its an amazing company and they will be around for a long time! I have jumped on a few companies thinking things would go far but seriously this one is AMAZING!!!! Also for every purchase you make, provides FULL TIME JOBS for local artisans in Costa Rica. They also have a charity collection. The charity collection was created to give back to charities all over the world with the sale of each bracelet! In 2013 they were able to donate over $140,000 to 190+ charities
