hodge podge

I am having a random week.
So I am going to a do a random post.
Enjoy.

I got a bracelet for Mother's day courtesy of my monkey Lulu,
who thought it would be fun to do a swan dive from her crib.


She's not thinking it was so fun anymore.
Thankfully, all is well.
The trouble with monkeys...


A new Sonic is coming to the OC.
Happy hour is certain to ruin my life.
Just saying.
Counting down the days until slushy happiness.


I love this idea from my friend Richelle.
Grab some summery paper and make one with your kiddos tonight.
Or make a Days Until Sonic chain.  
Because I am.


My mom got and embroidery machine.
Yay!!!
I get to use it without the pesky buying and storing of it.
The best kind of embroidery machine to own!


Like my new 30 going on 13 glasses?
(As photographed by my four year old.)
Here's me, freckles and all.  
I am really trying to be un-OC and post a close up of my
un-retouched-too-many-years-in-the-sun-awesomeness.
Why didn't I listen to my mom and wear sunscreen?
A tan teenager grows up to be crazy, splotchy adult.


My dear friend Alicia is in the process of opening an Etsy shop.
Look for cuteness like this to follow.


Vote for my littlest one in the Cutest Candy Clipper contest at 
Because she is the cutest.
(She's Candy Clipper #3)
Even if I am totally biased.
She's the cutest.

Enough with the random.
Adios.

    Oh I am glad your baby girl is ok, those falls can be so scary, I always freak out and think they have a concussion and make them stay awake all night. I will vote, I love the shades, and I did not know Sonic was comming here, where exactly? I was always annoyed when they showed the commercials like non stop and we didnt have one anywhere to be found.

    Glad you posted that Sonic pic... I very close by to it (Los Alisos/El Toro) and waiting for it to open already. It's going to be a great summer. Beats having to go to Anaheim.

    Oh my gosh, you are a girl after my own heart. I celebrated when they put in a Sonic here recently. SERIOUSLY. I've been watching the commercials for years... without a single one in Michigan. (I had been to them when I was younger, visiting family in southern states). The wait the first day was over 2 hours. I'm pretty sure no one even complained lol. I love me some slushy goodness. ;)
