  Show and Tell Monday: Baby Talk

I'm linking up with Becky for Show and Tell Monday!

 1. Tell us your favorite baby names? Aside from your own babies, if you have some :)

For a boy my favorite name is Michael Thomas
For a girl my favorite name is Gracie Catherine
Paul vetoed these names for our next baby, but I still love them!

2. Show me your "dream" nursery {can be your baby's nursery or one that you love}

 I love, love, love this type of nursery!!

3. How many children would you like to have? How far apart?

I would like to have 2 children at least 2 1/2 to 3 years apart

4. Tell us what you think the importance of parenting is?

Having patience is very important when being a parent. Being a new mom  have learned the importance having lots and lots of patience. I also think that the importance of parenting is learning and growing with your child.

5. Show us your favorite newborn photo {can be your children or random}

I never got Angelina's newborn photos done professionally (I wish I had) and this was the pose that I really wanted to do. I plan on doing this post with the next one though!!


6.  Tell us some things you promise to never do as a parent {and if you are a parent, did you stick to it}

I have always told myself that I would never, ever treat my children the way that I was treated growing up. I will cherish my children and tell that that I love them every single day.

Five Question Friday

I can't believe it's September already!! We are that much closer to Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas!! It's Friday and that I'm linking up for Five Question Friday!!! Have a nice weekends friends!!!

1. What is your favorite fall family tradition?

Since we don't have any apple orchards and I have yet to find a pumpkin patch, we don't have any fall traditions. I think it is time that we created some!! 

2. If money weren't an issue, how many kids would you have?

If money weren't an issue I would have to say 4. I have always wanted a big family.

3. If you were to get a tattoo, what would it be and where would you put it?

If I were to get a tattoo, it would be a small star (with my daughter's initials underneath it) on my inner left wrist.
 

4. What condiment is a must in your house?

Mayo, I have to have it on a sandwich, so I keep in the house!
 

5. How did your spouse/fiance propose?

We were engaged on 12/22/09 and I was 5 months pregnant at the time. Paul had the proposal all planned out until my boss at the time let me leave work early. He had no time to buy the ring so he went to Hobby Lobby and bought a wedding ring candy mold to serve as my engagement ring (I still have that mold). He then took me to our favorite spot at the lake, and at sunset dropped to one knee and proposed. Before he could finish the sentence, I said yes. It was perfect!  We were engaged for less than 24 hours when we got married. I waited for 16 years and I wasn't going to let him change his mind, so we got married the next day. That night a blizzard came through and we were snowed in until 12/27/09.

Mom Jewelry

A few months after having Angelina I decided that I wanted a piece of jewelry that either had her birthstone on it or just represented her in some small way. After looking for what seems like forever I finally settled on something that more within our budget:

My necklace has March's birthstone, which is aquamarine. I love it!!!

Eventually, I would like something that looks like this to represent not only my daughter but my husband as well.

Hopefully, this will be birthday, anniversary/Christmas present next year!!

 { Show and Tell Monday: All Things Fall}

Happy Labor Day Friends! I hope everyone is enjoying their 3 day weekend! I'm making a feast for today (brisket, potato salad, corn on the cob, and red, white, and blue cupcakes). I love this weeks theme because it is all about fall, my favorite time of the year because it is the start of football season and we are that much closer to the holidays! I'm linking up with Becky for this week's Show and Tell.

1. Tell us what you are looking forward to this fall?

After the summer that we have had (triple digits since July) I can't wait for the cooler weather, hot coca, hot apple cider, and warm clothes (sweaters, boots, jeans, and scarfs).  Fall is one of my favorite seasons. It just means that we are that much closer to Thanksgiving and Christmas!

2. Show us your fall style.

3. Tell us your favorite things to do in the fall. If you have children, activities to do with the kids?

Since I have a child, my favorite fall activities would naturally evolve around her. Right now I am looking for some pumpkin patches in our area so that we can take Angelina to one. I can't wait to take her to one, it is the one thing that I want to do with her this fall.

4. Show us your favorite fall beverage.

5. Tell us, how you will be participating in halloween this year. Plans? Costume ideas? 

We plan to take Angelina trick or treating around the neighborhood and to our local mall. I have ideas for her costume, but she wants to go as Elmo so I'm trying to find the perfect costume for her. This is the one I have my eye on:

{Sunday Social}

Hi Friends! Happy Sunday and I hope everyone has a safe Labor Day weekend! I cannot believe that it is September already. I'm so ready for the cooler weather and for Fall!!!
