So I just started following this AMAZING blog of a local gal who makes cakes, cupcakes oh and super cute kiddos...and she's having a give away. So I thought all my friends out there in blogger land would like to know about it too.
The blog is The Cake-at-Home Mom and she's giving away a My Breastfriend breastfeeding pillow. This is an amazing tool for breastfeeding mothers...trust me it will make your life easier...I mean anything with a pocket for the remote control has to be awesome right?
Anyhow, head on over to her blog to learn more about the give away and drool over some amazing looking desserts while you're there! Do it you won't be sorry!

Back to work...
The past 4 months has just flown by and now I am back at work...and let me tell you it blows.
Work isn't so bad in and of itself, but the time spent away from my kids is harder than I thought it would be.
I'll be the first to admit that my kids drive me bat shit crazy on a daily basis, but when you're forced to be away from them for 9+ hours a day you miss those little crazy tendencies.
And just to prove how in denial I was about returning to work, I failed to even print any photos of Addison to have at work...ugh.
I know it will get better, but man it sucks!

Maternity leave...half way over already?!?!
I'm shocked that my maternity leave is already half way over, when it began I kept thinking 4 months is so long, I'll feel so rested etc etc....but now after 2 months I'm realizing how fast time flies....and getting sad about how fast the second half will fly by.
I had grand plans of getting a lot done while out on leave...but so far I've done very little. I've organized a few cabinets and closets, made one trip to the East bay to visit friends and that's about it.
Holy crap I need to get moving on my long list of to dos....or do I. I'm quite torn between doing nothing and enjoying every minute of it...and getting really organized but not spending nearly as much time snuggling my little ones.
I must keep reminding myself how quickly this time flies and try to enjoy those snuggles while I can...and remind myself that being unorganized isn't the end of the world...right?!?

Being home all day is going to cost me money...
You'd think that being home all day would be a good way to save money, I mean if I don't leave the house how can I spend money right?!?!
WRONG! Besides online shopping...I have come to realize that I hate all my stuff. I guess when I'm at work all day I don't have time to hate my stuff so much...but being here looking at it all day makes me realize how awful it is.
I've decided I want to paint and redecorate just about every room in my house. Right now I'm trying to talk myself out of painting the kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom...really it's not necessary considering we painted when we moved in just over a year ago. But now I HATE the colors. It wouldn't be so bad if it was only paint, but with paint comes new textiles etc etc.
Someone please stop me!!!

My beautiful girls
So I know I'm quite biased, but how freaking cute are my kids...I mean really how did I get so lucky!?!?!

The camera is my nemesis
I have a couple cameras, they're nice and cost a decent chunk of change...nothing like a DSLR (which my husband won't allow me to buy...you'll get it later) but decent.
I buy them, they are great, I play with them, take pictures, send them to family blah blah blah...for like a week. And then it's into the case never to be touched again...okay that's an exaggeration but really I SUCK remembering to use them.
I had Addison 6 weeks ago now, and besides the hospital pictures that Dan took, I have not even taken one picture of her...not one. How horrible is that. In the first 6 weeks of Natalie's life I took no less than 500 pictures...granted in the subsequent almost 2 years I only took another like 25 photos of her...but still.
So at the rate I'm going with Addison, she'll think we just picked her up somewhere around age 5 or so since we'll have no photos to document her early years.
I really have no idea how to take more pictures, I leave the camera out so I'll remember to use it, I try to make plans to take pictures daily etc etc...but nothing. So now you can see why Dan won't allow (ha ha) me to buy a DSLR.
