2013 Goal recap

1. Spend less time online
I did okay with this over the last year. I have tried really hard to spend more time with my daughter and husband and enjoy my pregnancy. 

2. Eat healthier
I did really good with this until I
 got pregnant and my HG worse. Then I just started eating what ever I could keep down.

3. Start exercising more
Just like the last goal I did pretty good and then I got pregnant and got HG again. With that happening I have not had the energy or strength to exercise like I wanted to. 

4. Try to be more positive:)
This one was pretty easy after my life was what I wanted it to be and I didn't feel controlled and afraid all the time. 

5. Read at least 30 books 100 Books
I honestly don't know how many books I read this year but I am pretty sure it's between 60-80 not quite to my 100 book goal but way over my 30 book goal I originally made.

6. Potty Train Bug 
Tho I wouldn't say emmalynn is fully potty trained she is day trained and stays dry at nap and bed time 80% of the time. I am perfectly happy with that. Considering at the beginning of December she was still wearing diapers all the time. 

7. Get rid of the clutter and things we don't need
With moving so many time I have gotten rid of quite a few things and we are starting over. It's a nice change tho I have more stuff to go through.

8. Blog More
I failed at this goal and I know that. I want to blog but I rarely know what to write about any more. 

9. Do more preschool type activity's with Bug
We did pretty good with this one. She has learned so much this year. 

10. Start sewing for me and not just for Bug
I haven't sewn since July because of moving and having no where to sew or any fabric to sew with.

Baby number 3

When we found out I was pregnant back in August we were both so excited. I was also so afraid because of my battle with hg during my pregnancy with my daughter. I didn't know how I was going to handle being pregnant or being so sick with a toddler running around. I am now 15 weeks an a few days. I first got sick around 9 or 10 weeks and it has gotten worse over the last 5 or 6 weeks. I am down nearly 20lbs from my pre pregnancy weight and still throwing up a few times most days. I am on zofran to help with my being sick tho so far it really isn't helping much. We are trying our best to get through it one day at a time. My husband has been so helpful with me being so sick. He helps out as much as he can with how much he is working. Here are a few pictures of my belly the last 5 or so weeks. I am so excited for the baby to come in April.

Dr. Scholl's® For Her High Heel Insoles

I love wearing high heels what I don't love is how they leave my feet feeling at the end of the day. With Dr. Scholl's® For Her High Heel Insoles that is a feeling of the past. My husband is over 6 inches taller then me allowing me to wear super high heels and still be shorter then him and I often do with the tallest heels in my closet being 6inches and having none less then 3inches. The only problem with this we always have toddlers and chasing toddler in heels of any hight makes you feet hurt that much more. I can now wear my 3-4inch heels when I am with my toddler and it not feel like my feel are going to fall off after a few hours. So ladies of you are sick of your feet hurting grab a pair of Dr. Scholl's® For Her High Heel Insoles you highest heels and strut your stuff!!!! I mean really what do you have to lose??   
Even my 2.5 year old loves these when strutting her stuff in mommy's heels:)

Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics review

I received Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics in my sun kissed voxbox from influnster. I have used ribbon style elasticity before and am always happy to have new colors or try a new brand. I have to say I love the colors of these other then the normal black and gray ones I received a purple and pink one. They look pretty being around my wrist or when I have used them to put my hair up. One of the things I like the best is they don't leave a line in my hair when I have used them to pull it up. They have also been used in my toddlers hair and she loves them as we'll she try to steal them from my wrist to wear cuz they are Petty(pretty).

Sinfulshine review

In my sun kissed voxbox I received a bottle of sinful shine nail polish from influenster. 

I won't lie I hate the color I received. It's called man hunt and just isn't a color I want to wear. But since I already had a few bottles of sinful shine I can tell you that I love the product.its long lasting and has a beautiful shine. It comes in 32 shades and tho not all of them are my style I can see them being loved by other people. I hope to be able to get a few more colors and if you want to find and try them to they are available exclusively at Walgreens.

Sooner then expected

A month ago I got some shocking news way sooner then I expected. My husband was coming home in just a few days over 2 months sooner then I had expected. This unexpected change in time has made life a little interesting. We are currently living with my daughters dad. This was not originally the plan and its been tough the last 3.5 weeks. I am loving having my husband back in my arms and Bug loves having her daddy here. For those of you who are wondering she took to calling him daddy all on her own we tried to have her call him daddy James but she wasn't having it and calls Chris dad or Chris depending on what's going on. As far as I know neither of her dads have a problem with what they are being called. 

Emmalynn loves having James home. She has became his little shadow and is always wanting him to be the one to do stuff for her. It's the sweetest thing to watch. She is constantly telling him she loves him and telling me that he is hers. I will joke with her and tell her the he is mine and she always ways says no mommy he's my daddy. He loves that little girl and its apparent to anyone who has seen them together.  She is a lucky little girl to have two dads that love and care about her. 

As far as stuff with James and me it feels like we were never apart and I love it. I fall asleep in his arms most nights or with him in mine. We are planning to renew our vows with in the next 2 years. With our 5th wedding anniversary quickly approaching on June 21st it's been something that I have spent a ton of time thinking about. We have decided we are going to treat it more like a 2nd wedding then just a vow renewal. Very few things have been decided for it other then we both want it to happen outside, we want to use the color purple, and daisies for flowers. 

In other news my laptops screen has went out so I am blogging from the iPad and I'm not a huge fan of the app. But I wanted to update since I haven't in a while.  
Here are just a few pictures from the last 3 weeks.
