Conversations with kids

Owen: I’m hungry, too.

Me: Eat that graham cracker.

Owen: Mom! I don’t want to eat after Charlie. He’s a super germ Do you know what that is?

Me: No, what is it?

Owen: It’s. A. Germ.

Me: ….That’s super?

Owen: Duh!!

Karma...

Comes back around in the form of a big nasty pimple, on the bridge of your nose, the size of an IHOP pancake.

And all you can do, is laugh about it.

   Or, get some awesome glasses to cover it up!

Owen!

Seven years ago today, they placed an 8lb 9oz newborn baby boy on my chest. As I looked at you for the first time; a tear rolled down my cheek and I thought "What the hell did I get myself into, now?"

Kids are cool

This is a zombie. His name is Oliver, too. Just like the artist's. 

Favorite Stuff Friday!

For shame! A whole week has passed, and I only manged to post once. And it was about effing donoughts. This. Blog. Is. Epic. 

       Anyhow, it's time for Favorite Stuff Friday. Who's excited? ...Well, I am. Let's do this thang!. That's right, I said "thang". I'm one quarter hood-rat; it's totally acceptable.

1) The Small Things Blog

I love to read. I love to read blogs. I love to read blogs about hair and jewelry and clothes. Lucky for me, this chick writes about all those things! Bonus! She even has great hair tutorials. If you are stuck in a hair rut-or, even if you're not-try one of her cute hairdos. You'll be getting compliments on your hair all day!

2) OPI's Tickle my France-y

It's no secret. I am a total weenie when it comes to nail color. I stick to the creams, blushes, nudes and the occasional soft grey (if I'm feeling frisky). I picked this color out at the most adorable nail salon in San Rafael three weeks ago, and I've received at least one compliment on my nail color, daily. Yeah, it's kinda boring; but any nail color that procures more than three compliments is a keeper in my book.

3) My husband introduced me to this cover. It's amazing. Your ears will thank me.

4) If you liked that, you'll most definitely get a kick out of this:

5) Anxiously awaiting the 23rd, so that I can see the Hunger Games. If you haven't read this trilogy, you must have been living under a rock for the last six months. What are you waiting for? Go buy this book now!!! Why are you still reading this when you could be reading fictional gold? Pure Fictional Gold, people!!

Being me, sucks...

I ate a whole package of mini chocolate glazed donoughts two hours ago, and I still feel guilty about it.

Favorite Stuff Friday!

This is my first edition of Favorite Stuff Friday! I don’t know why anyone should care about what my favorite things are, but I LOVE when fellow bloggers share their favs. I have discovered some of the most amazing products that way. So, without further adieu:

1.) Mossimo Supply Company Flare jeans (Fit 3)

    I love love LOVE Target. The only bad thing about Target –besides the fact that I can rarely get out of there for less than $100- is that everyone shops at Target. If you go to a party, chances are you and at least one girlfriend will be wearing the same shirt, jeans, outfit, etc. But, when I spotted these stretchy, low rise bad boys for $6.98 on the sale rack, I had to purchase them. I am petite, curvy and long legged and these jeans fit as if they were made specifically for me. I get compliments on them EVERY time I wear them. Had I known what a gem I found the day I purchased these, I would have purchased this style in every color they make.

2) Adele Station on Pandora.

                Seriously, this woman makes my ears tingle.

3)OLAY Pro X cleanser

    I read about the Clairsonic Mia right here. Unfortunately for me, I can’t afford to spend $110.00 to have glowing, flawless skin. But when I mentioned on the train that I was seriously debating giving up eating for two weeks so that I could purchase this gadget, a gal mentioned she bought the Pro X for $30.00. I could afford that, so I had to research it. When I saw that it received four and a half out of five stars out of approximately 1,000 reviews online, I was sold! I purchased mine at Costco for $36.00 and it came with a full sized face wash.  My skin looked drastically better within one week, and by week two my acne prone t-zone was pimple free! It also evened out my skin tone and makes my foundation look amazing!!! Seriously, did you see how many exclamation points I used right there? That alone should have your running to your local Target to pick up the Pro X (don’t forget to buy the flare jeans while you’re there).

4) Nothing but Bonfires Blog

    Above everything else, she is an amazing writer; but she's also hilariously witty, adorably nerdy and super sweet. So sweet, she helped me pick out a restaurant for Katie’s Bachelorette weekend in San Francisco by emailing me several of her favorite restaurants in SF, complete with a link to Yelp so I could research myself before deciding.Did I mention, she did that without knowing me? She's just that nice. Read her blog, you won’t regret it.

5) Starbuck’s Sweetened Iced Green Tea.

   I could drink this all day, every day.
