Be's Nails & Salon

Happy Wednesday ALL! 
Today went pretty good I was able to take some much needed mommy time and go get my mani/pedi, my eyebrows waxed and my hair cut! I wouldn't have gotten my mani and pedi but Be <- name of the cute little asian lady who was cutting my hair and owner of the salon mentioned how I let my eyebrows go and I could get a free eyebrow wax with a mani and pedi! SO of course I caved, she was right I definitely had let these bad boys grow out to long and I didn't have time to pluck them back into shape cause I have a hugggeee fear of the tweeser happy syndrome. I have always loved having dark long eyebrows, just maintained not the bushy catepillars they've become . Anyways this momma is ready for her hubby to come home tomorrow! 

Shout out to Little Miss Momma and her headband challenge!
What I wore BEFORE my hair was cut! I made this headband myself with some elastic, extra fabric and my handy dandy sewing machine! 

When I got home my day went something like this...

pedi's and my little princess

I am mommy hear my giggle
My teething little princess has as most kids at her age have a tendency to put things into her mouth and might I say my reaction to pulling things out of her hands have become like a ninja. I swear she grows everyday and it truly amazes me, I sit and wonder do I provide everything she needs to develop and blossom. I only want the best and to be the best for my little one. You only really get to be mommy once no do over's, so i pray I'm doing it right.

Speaking Love Language

Since the hubby has been in Rhode Island for the past 3 weeks I've come to realize it's time for a little refresher for us. I'm not saying give him a hall pass ( even though it was a funny movie) I just think after 4 years together, marriage, baby and military life things between us have been put on the back burner.

So, I want to get back to us. I think since he's been deployed every 3 months he thinks that gifts and material items are what keep me happy. Don't get me wrong I love gifts, just as much as the next girl but I love attention and respect more than material things. Sorry Madona I am not a material girl..all the time..haha..But I think I'm going to invest in a book my sister told me about called The 5 Languages of Love by Gary Chapman.

She told me how it changed her relationship with her man and how they can better communicate with each other. The book talks about how there's 5 different types of love, and I went to the website and did the test and it was a real eye opener. Something's I don't think my husband knows about me because he percieves me to be a different type of love language. Which is why I am investing in this book.  I think in a normal life communication between a husband and wife gets lost sometimes, but even more so for a military couple cause their gone more and sometimes we can't communicate at all because he's not allowed to. My husband cousin Angie told me at my baby shower ALWAYS:
1.) Put God first
2.) Put your Marriage at the top
3.) Love your kids

When I think of our communication I think of that day and how she's right. I love our daughter but before her it was just US and to keep US we need to put US at the top. So what do we plan to do? Read this book together to see how we can better communicate with each other. 

Then, go on a vacation..JUST US.. Kind of like a couples retreat minus all crazy drama and not as witty as the movie, but definitely to have a good time and  bang bang pow pow! hehe

Birthday Ideas

Sorry Folks! I apologize I haven't posted in a VERY long time!! But to my defense my husband came back from deployment so that takes up all my time! I got to get that Q.T family time in while I could cause as a military family he isn't home for long. He's gone again this time not on deployment but to Rhode Island for some extra schooling, so it's just me and the little! So, bedtime blogging here I come!




I don't think it's a little to early to start planning your daughter's first birthday do you? So far I think I'm going with this baby skull head with a pink bow theme, cause I think my daughter's pretty bada$$!  <-pardon my language! The first thing I've done is plan her birthday outfit (don't worry she's going to be buttnaked for the cake part!) but I'm starting from head to toe. Now, if your against bows, flowers, headbands and all that jazz turn away right now.. But if you love little girl accesories then you would love this! 


(to my defense if you think it's wrong to put bows on little girls.. I put a bows on her 1 cause I think their CUTE and 2 I think she's the greatest gift from God, that I asked for, not just asked for, PRAYED for over 3 months. and what do you put on gifts? BOWS!)


This is the bow I purchased for $5 (on a special deal) pretty good deal if you have ever checked out bowtiques on facebook. (severely over priced ) If you wanna buy one check out one of my favorites Tiny Hearts Bowtique.

Cute Right?!

Now the idea's I've been playing around with for food and I came across Cute and Sassy Designs by Bonnie and she makes cute little cupcake toppers and stuff like that. Well she posted this AWESOME product from Infinity Creations 
CAKE PUSH UPS!

How cool?!


Well I just felt like sharing some of my ideas with you guys! Stay tuned cause I have a little bit more but it'll be a few more months till my daughter's 1st birthday she's only 7 1/2 months right now :)


Goodnight Moon.
