Just a few things for this fabulous Friday that happened as of late. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know about you guys but <strike>back in the day</strike> Mario Kart <strike>was</strike> KING!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check out this sweet stop motion Mario Kart in real life.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Girl is just Gone with the wind, FABULOUS!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So goes and releases a stealth album on iTunes on the DL. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Queen B said she did for a reason, saying "I didn't want to release my music the way I've done it. I am bored with that."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check and mate!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Face-gate? Call it what you will, I call it #selfie. Everyone has one why not the POTUS?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In this moment I'll tell you why not, don't do it at the Nelson Mandela memorial. #fail</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Affluenza!? Really?! I mean really it makes me sick like influenza. His defense attorney pretty much blamed his parents for giving him a posh life and he didn't know better. So he got 10 years probation and will be in a super swank rehab facility. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe I am being harsh, but how 'bout we break that cycle and make him know a bit of hardship and send him to juvey?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Move over Snapchat? Here comes Instagram Direct. Maybe, maybe not but hey people will try it and use it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well that about sums that up. </div>

</div>
Alrighty, I need some help. I am on a hunt for the perfect gold nail polish (in my dreams, I know!) and I hope it's out there.<br />
Here is what I am looking for, I want <i>really</i> GOLD! I'm not talking just a metallic color I want a bit of yellow to it and visible glitter and I don't want a top coat, I want it to be a stand alone polish, am I asking too much?<br />
Here is what my current routine and it gets me by (First World Problem, I know) but not even close to what I want in gold polish. First coat is Revlon in Gold Coin it gives me the cover I am looking for and top is off with Wet n Wild Fergie in Glamorous this gives me the color I am looking for and the glitter. But it's quite the process.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b1kfec7VCKY/UnvCdAYzTVI/AAAAAAAAA9o/3YI8XPkrSfs/s1600/nail+&+nail.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="502" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b1kfec7VCKY/UnvCdAYzTVI/AAAAAAAAA9o/3YI8XPkrSfs/s640/nail+&+nail.png" width="640" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I went panning on the interwebs in search of what's next for me in the gold polish market. I don't think I have ever done so much reading on just nail polish, but beauty is pain and a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do, am I right??</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So this is what I found that could have some promise. Here is where you weigh in: What do you know about these polishes? Do you have them? Love 'em or hate 'em? Is this what I am looking for?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't think that I have even looked forward to a weekend as much as this one. Woohoo, cheers to the freakin' weekend, I'll drink to that!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Last Saturday called for big plans, apple picking, hayrides and searchin' for the perfect pumpkin. Well mother nature stepped in and decided I needed new plans and it <strike>rained</strike> poured all day. :(</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. So enter the back up plan, Hallowine. What could go wrong, with wine targeted at the Halloween season, I mean I in. Expect the fact that you heat the wine and it was terrible. Terrible as in it tasted like watered down apple juice with a half jar of nutmeg added. But hey, maybe someones into that, who knows. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. My Mom always said have a plan b and this time was no exception.Since the Hallowine was a bust enter Salted Caramel Vodka with Apple Cider (and whipped cream and cinnamon, of course). OMG, DELICIOUS!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Enter a little confession I have to make, I have been hiding under a rock lately (for lack of a better catchy statement). A special new someone made me this neat little number in his welding class. Bold move to pull in a class full of dudes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Without further adieu, me Luke. Well I guess he's not completely new in my life, he's been in my extended group of friends for about 5 years. I guess the timing just wasn't right then.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So he may be the reason I am excited for this weekend. We have big plans, ok well maybe not big but exciting to me plans. Tonight we're going to a haunted house (<a href="http://www.screaminacres.com/index.php">http://www.screaminacres.com/index.php</a>). It's not really a house but a whole area. It even has a back story to read before you go. I am going to be scared out of my mind, but I am so excited I could pee.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And Saturday is Badger gameday + Homecoming and we're going to the game! For your viewing pleasure...</div>

Wow, it feels good to be back. I just needed a mind purge kind of break, recharge the batteries and regroup! I have missed you all!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What a day to start back up that a fantastic Friday, whoop, whoop!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Last week Saturday will waiting for my beloved Badgers to start against the big rivals the Buckeyes. Jax and I decided to funny face it out while we waited. And well of course to show off the awesome spiked 'do!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. On my way home from work I say this gorgeous little site. I was hoping that I could see it from my backyard and take a picture and sure enough. All though the picture doesn't really do this sun dog justice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. I was going through a box of things a found this little goodie. A picture of me and my cousin Kelli at our Grandparents house from 1992. Hanging out by the sprinkler #classy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Wednesday called for some evening baking. Jax treat of choice, chocolate chip cookies of course. I let him lick the beaters for the first time and you have thought I was the world's most awesome mom!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. Saying farewell to and awesome co-worker so she can pursue her dream of opening a flower shop. With that said, since it will be a sad goodbye that's happening in the fall it needed a sweet treat of apple crisp.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel this week was doomed at GO. I don't think I will be back on track until next Monday. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! And did it start out with quite the interesting bang.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A little background first, I was out with girls to start off the three day weekend for drink specials and karaoke.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I kid you not I wasn't even half way through my first drink and this guy mad the most serious beeline over to our table. Of course like a lunch table full of seventh graders we all looked away, trying not to make eye contact because we just knew it wasn't going to turn out well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So pick-up lines are funny when you're telling people ones you have heard or read, on the other hand they are mortifying when someone actually uses one on you. Well I didn't think guys used them anymore boy was I sadly mistaken because it happen to yours truly on Friday night. And this one my friend takes the cake for sure.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So after trying to hard not to make eye contact and dreading the words about to pour out of this guys mouth this is what ensued. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Guy: Have you ever had duck sausage?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me: Ummm (thinking, really is that even a thing, NO!) No.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Guy: Well good then, why don't you duck down and taste my sausage?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me: (insert really awkward laugh) Why don't you just leave!?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really didn't have words, I don't think I have even been so appalled or disgusted. Whether is was a dare or being serious it was still totally unnecessary.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just had to share how absolutely bad that pick-up line was. Am I being a total prude or off my rocker for thinking it was that ridiculous? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a great week!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. A calm moment at the doctor's office in between blood and hemoglobin test. It was a rough day for him. But good news is everything came perfectly normal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. A little birthday cake with sprinkles for my birthday treat at work, delish!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. No birthday is complete without and ice cold beer, cheers to me and my last year in my 20s.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. It's that weekend, me and a group of friends and family are running the Dirty Girl again this year and I couldn't be more excited. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh, how I have missed you my lovelies and I apologize for my absence. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The little man needed some medical attention and I have debated whether or not to share. Well I have decided to, I thought what better way than blogland for support, thoughts and suggestions. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So over the past few weeks Jax fluid intake has increased to 90-120 ounces a day, which is close to a gallon. With the help of the wonderful ladies at daycare we decided to monitor it, making sure it wasn't a fluke. Well nothing has really changed so I decided to call the doctor.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only other thing that has changed with him is he has been falling asleep at meal time. So off to WedMD I went (never a good idea, you will always be diagnosed with a deadly disease with no cure.) Not really, but most of the time. These are both factors in Type 1 diabetes, so it had me concerned. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got an appointment the next day. The thoughts from the doctor were the same and we did blood sugar test right away. No one likes it when there kid is sick, but we've been to the doctor for colds and ear infections and I know the normal route. But now we were in uncharted territory with a possibility of something that could affect the rest of his life. And of course waiting for the doctor to return with the results is like an eternity.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ahh, relief his sugar levels were within the normal range. The doctor ordered an additional blood draw and a urine sample for additional testing just to be sure. Due to the high amounts of fluids it does concern him. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And the whole urine sample thing, well that went over like a lead balloon. Trying to take a sample from a potty training two year old. Not the easiest thing in the world. A doctor's office bathroom isn't very friendly. There isn't an Elmo potty that cheers when your done and you don't get a sticker. It's hard to explain that one. Needless to say we had to take a fun little to-go apparatus with us to collect the sample.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the part where I has for your help or suggestions, if this has happened to your little one or know other possibilities of what this could be. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Humpday Lovelies!</div>

Whoop, whoop it's Friday! And honestly what could be better than that? It's been a trying week but here are my highlights, these amazing moments made it all the more sweet. </div>
<br />
1. Had my first ear of sweet corn, I know a little late but certainly worth the wait and it was delicious.<br />
2. Took my bestie and the little man to National Night Out. Pretty amazing night of community and safety. Lots of freebies and a free dinner, umm yes please!<br />
3. Jax had his first escalator ride this week at Target on the other side of town. You would have that I was a magician. The people behind us got a kick out of his reaction.<br />
4. I fell like it was a week of firsts for Jax. I took him down to Lake Mendota at the Memorial Union Terrace. We watched the boats and the ducks and he loved every minute of it.<br />
5. The Terrace is one of my fav places in the summertime, especially at sunset. It's just so peaceful.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well that's it here from my end, TGIF and have a fab weekend lovelies!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
To my son, my monkey, my flicker of light in the darkness:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you ever just have a bad <strike>day</strike> week? And you know that there is one thing that can change it and one thing alone that can make it better. Mine is my son! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most days I think the best part of my day is the alone moment I get in the shower taking deep breaths of steam or the first sip of morning coffee. But there is that one moment that takes the cake, one moment in particular. The moment when I walk out to the daycare playground and I get that high pitched mommy from across the yard. The all out sprint (well as fast as his two year old legs can carry him) for my arms. I get that sunscreen smelling, sand coated, sidewalk chalk covered epic hug everyday. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every sleepless night, temper tantrum and tears from owies, has made you the most amazing little boy that words don't even begin to express how much I love you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You my darling little boy have taught me things I thought I already knew. That unconditional love that you show me on my worst days. The I didn't shower, brush my hair or teeth, sweatpants and oversize t-shirt kind of day and you still tell me in your mousy little voice, mommy pretty. You have not only showed me the little things in life but that they're important as well. For all of those tiny moments we have pasted together and call life I thank you. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thank you for teaching me to have patience, savor every moment no matter how small and to love bigger that I every imagined. I thank you for choosing me to be your mom.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love you not only for what you are but for what I am with you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love, one proud momma!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
p.s. sorry for being so mushy today, it has just been a trying week.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Then drizzle caramel over the top of the cake. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fhFpuQlmg38/UfpnuEZqrmI/AAAAAAAAA0k/U_vZYLxF5T0/s1600/cake5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fhFpuQlmg38/UfpnuEZqrmI/AAAAAAAAA0k/U_vZYLxF5T0/s640/cake5.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I use about 3/4 of the jar to cover the cake and the rest will be used as additional topping. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bzqCQXuqDkg/Ufpn4oFElxI/AAAAAAAAA0s/wdU4BSnrf3Q/s1600/cake6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bzqCQXuqDkg/Ufpn4oFElxI/AAAAAAAAA0s/wdU4BSnrf3Q/s640/cake6.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then just as the caramel topping repeat the same with the sweetened condensed milk. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-z2Ohq6l0XLc/UfpoJkwzdqI/AAAAAAAAA00/3yKjrqXuoSc/s1600/cake7.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-z2Ohq6l0XLc/UfpoJkwzdqI/AAAAAAAAA00/3yKjrqXuoSc/s640/cake7.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let the caramel topping and sweetened condensed milk soak in and cake to cool to room temperature</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DW8-KJ3mbyU/UfpoZAFDEII/AAAAAAAAA08/kYA9xmYCM-8/s1600/cake8.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DW8-KJ3mbyU/UfpoZAFDEII/AAAAAAAAA08/kYA9xmYCM-8/s640/cake8.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then coat the top with Cool Whip.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yMDw6Zm_5lg/Ufpoq5A7f0I/AAAAAAAAA1E/xR2JGbdhthI/s1600/cake9.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yMDw6Zm_5lg/Ufpoq5A7f0I/AAAAAAAAA1E/xR2JGbdhthI/s640/cake9.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Use the remaining amount of caramel topping to drizzle on top. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-I955DVaWK3o/UfppKDqlTQI/AAAAAAAAA1M/VbsNacaG07o/s1600/cake10.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-I955DVaWK3o/UfppKDqlTQI/AAAAAAAAA1M/VbsNacaG07o/s640/cake10.JPG" width="568" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then sprinkle you toffee bits on top of that. I used more than 3/4 cup as I had left over toffee bits from another recipe and just finished off the bag.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And BOOM it's Yummo!(a little cooking humor is you will) Cue the crickets because that wasn't funny. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Alright, this isn't one of my strong points, asking for help that is. So this is a big step for me to blast it out there in blog-land. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really had a heart to heart with myself about getting bloggy serious, all in my head and well on paper too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I need and about me page like yesterday. Another one of weaknesses is talking(writing) about myself. I mean I don't want to make myself sound like a low life nor do I want to make it seem like poop rainbows and glitter. But seriously how cool what that be?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is where my crazy brain takes over and I take a sharp right in to chaos-land. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Funny or serious?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Pictures or word dominant?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a. I hate taking pictures of myself!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. What do I really share in my about me?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Trust me this list looks nice and neat compared to the notes I made. They were everywhere and then I would get to off track I would end up doodling and what not. I have such a scatter brain and get distracted easily. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So lovelies that is where you come in! I NEED YOUR HELP!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At this point I am open to any help, suggestions and ideas. </div>

Okay I have a confession to make, I am really into The Bachelorette/The Bachelor. It's a guilty please of mine, I became obsessed with it a few years ago when I was on maternity leave (don't judge).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, Des, sweetie pull yourself together. Because honestly girl you got this. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enter exhibit A:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MR26DXuCmm4/UffropgOIhI/AAAAAAAAAxc/azEycd12-uM/s1600/don't+let+me+go.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="358" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MR26DXuCmm4/UffropgOIhI/AAAAAAAAAxc/azEycd12-uM/s640/don't+let+me+go.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you did it (move on) before you can do it again. Breakups are like band-aids they really hurt when you rip them off and eventually the pain will go away. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my one issue with the show, a marriage proposal after 9 weeks, really!? Enter real life scenario, correct me if I'm wrong girls but wouldn't you be like what a totally stalker/freak obsessed with me? If a guy asked you to marry him after only a little over two months? Pump the breaks much!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I mean The Bachelorette/Bachelor isn't really known for their successful relationships.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are currently three success stories after 17 seasons of The Bachelor and 8 seasons of The Bachelorette. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Bachelor</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">The Bachelorette</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">Honorable Mention</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">I am not usually a glass half full kind of girl but did you really see this working out for the long run. So put on your big girl pants and get over it. I mean that in the nicest way, really I do!</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">Have a terrific Tuesday!</span></span></div>

So last week I put forth a challenge to myself to complete some of the thousands of pins I have. So here's what we're working with. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Alright all I have to say is I wish I would have started this a long time ago. I have naturally <strike>curly </strike>frizzy hair and it's really dry and dull. And in efforts to improve the overall health of my hair I figured I might as well give 'er a try. It can't really get any worse. I did my first No Poo on Friday of last week and still haven't washed my hair and mainly because it's not even greasy. I couldn't be more excited. I will keep out posted on how it's going in the future.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">On Deck:</span></h2>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is going to be my next project. In efforts to go a little more natural and way less expensive. I thought now would be a good time to try this as well, and I am almost out of hairspray.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In The Hole: </span></h2>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello Lovelies, did you miss me?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry for the absence, I had a little staycation with friends and family. Monday and Tuesday I spent with my Mom and she is all about the family time and a need for the disconnect. She's just old school. I understand she just wants uninterrupted time and I can jive. But with two days of little to now internet use and I am suffering from a severe case of FOMO(fear of missing out) with undertones of PVB(post vacation blues). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think the moment I got home I dove into the internet like never before, just drooling of over my BlogLovin', Twitter, Instagram and Facebook feed. I had nearly two days to catch up on. I was in panic. I felt like I had missed out on my window to like, RT and comment on things because far too much time had passed. I was no longer in the know and didn't want to be 'that' kid, if you know what I mean?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I remember this <a href="http://www.relevantmagazine.com/culture/tech/stop-instagramming-your-perfect-life" target="_blank">article</a> I had read. I think that it applies to more than just Instagram but social media in general. I have had this convo with my bestie on more than on occasion. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you scroll through other's live via IG and FB you get green with envy of this person's vacation or so and so's new pair of killer heels. Is the grass really greener? I mean if I take a look at my IG of FB feed, I guess my life looks pretty peachy too. Do people envy my life?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course when you put up the good pics and not the thirty outtakes it took to get just that perfect one, or the day I forgot to put on mascara and had boogers on my pants. No one wants to see that, nor did I share that. Gasp, that would make me human!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So while I sit there and think I and think I am missing out, I got to spend unconnected, uninterrupted with my Mom and little guy. That trade off is pretty priceless and wouldn't trade it for the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So before I get all jealous and envious maybe and should just sit, relax and water my own grass. I realized that I have already done some pretty amazing things this summer with plenty more to come. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes you just have to stop and smell the roses. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Humpday, Lovelies!</div>

1. I know this lil guy is a reoccurring character here, but I just can't get enough of him. He is just amazed by sparklers so I had to show him in all his glory. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. I got this cute little couple last week and this week I am finding every excuse to use them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. We are working on a new funny face. Enter Jax's fish face, let's just say there is room for improvement. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. So we got a big boy bed on Saturday and of course before I could even put sheets on it, it needed a good jump test and of course why wouldn't it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. And after five nights of practice sleeping I think we accomplished the big boy bed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Enter First World Problems (FWP) aka the White Whine, ridiculous complaints of everyday life. </div>

This happened last night while pouring my first glass. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone has those moments of really stupid complaints and then you're like, REALLY!? This is a problem?!</div>

Most people who know me, know that I am kind of what we like to call addicted to Pinterest. I am not ashamed to admit it either. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other day I realized that I have close to 5,000 pins, what that said I thought I would do a quick browse and see how many I have actually tried to do. The numbers weren't very promising. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I put a but of a challenge in front of myself to complete at least one pin a week, whether it be a recipe, DIY or a project with my little guy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well here are are some of the cheers and jeers of my pinning career.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So sometimes being a parent can be a thankless job, especially being a single parent. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I try my darnedest to teach Jackson honesty and manners. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please he has down for sure, because he knows he can get things if he says please. We have been working on thank you for what seems like forever. It usually ends in me prompting thank you and Jax repeats it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So last night I let little man stay up past his bed time to finish a movie. Since we had left over sparklers I told him I had a surprise and to come with me. We went outside and lit the last of the sparklers and you would have thought I was the world's best mom.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A little back story, my favorite part of the day is to come home and change out of my work clothes into comfy clothes, take off my makeup and put my hair up in some sort of fashion. Last night was no different. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As we headed back in the house Jax looks up at he and say "tank kew, momma". My heart melted because I didn't have to say anything to him. I knelt down to give him a kiss as he needed to be rewarded. He put his hand on my cheek and he then tells me "pretty momma". I think I almost cried. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I honestly couldn't have looked worse. But when a two year tells you you're pretty it must me true.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry I just had to share my proud Momma moment from last night. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Have a fab Tuesday!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Nothing but a fun filled family weekend!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. I believe that when you become a mother you will never be in the bathroom alone, every again. Well Saturday was no exception, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. So let the hair drying begin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. We went to visit my Gram and Gramps in their new Senior community (quite nice I might add) and the County Fair was going on. So Jax went to his first ever tractor pull. You would have thought it was Christmas in July. He just loved it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Was a County Fair if you don't try the food. Had to indulge in these babies, hand-dipped deep fried cheese curds, yummy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. It was a hot one on Sunday, so popsicles were in order, I finally let Jax have his own with out sharing (he usually makes a huge mess). It didn't turn out as bad as I thought. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. I think I finally mastered the fishtail on myself. Look at what time and patience can accomplish. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. My favorite part of the weekend. Meeting this new little jelly bean, Piper. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Monday Funday, lovelies!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Little American centerpiece I through together for a Fourth of July shindig. I thought it was pretty awesome, so I had to share.<br />
2. Little man loves taking pictures of himself lately and he's getting really good at making funny faces. Here is the new face. He calls it the eww face, I think we look more like Popeye (sad thing he probably never will). You're for me looking so amazing, it was 6:30 am and I hadn't had coffee yet. (I'm kidding by the way, not about the time, about looking amazing)<br />
3. Got my mail yesterday and my amazing Dad (sorry I have to brag) sent me some fun money. Love him!<br />
4. We had to a little late night sidewalk drawings. Jax picked the spot and color and Mommy did the drawing.<br />
5. Yesterday was a double wammy for mail. I got fun money from my Pops and got my giveaway winnings as well. So I had to test out my Brew2Go as soon as I opened it. I will be testing the Vino2Go XL tonight. Thank you Beth from <a href="http://www.hangonhoney.com/" target="_blank">Hang On, Honey</a> for the fabulous giveaway.<br />

I mean yes babies are amazing no matter what way you would like to slice it however, do celebrity parents even realize what they are doing?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know this might come as a shock to you but I am NOT celebrity offspring, but I think every kid has an awkward phase. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Awkward phase + celeb child + weird name = Trifecta of please pick on me! </div>

So I got this month's subscription to Parents Magazine in the mail yesterday and here are a few of the neat little finds that I stumbled upon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Night-light, music box and a toy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It plays 39 different songs and it lights up when you touch one of the continents and you can take it off the base and roll it around on the floor. </div>

<b>Glue Dots</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Umm, glue in a no mess roll out dispenser, yes please!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Non-toxic, acid free and removes without residue.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also work on paper, plastic, wood, foam, glass and I am sure more. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Zoku Mini Pop Molds</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This for sure has to be my favorite for a ton reasons. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The small portion is a perfect size for the little ones, with the added bonus of a lot less mess because of the size. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You don't need to run them under cold water to remove them from the tray. The just simply pop out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And of course you can make and choose your own flavors. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a quick little recap of my holiday weekend. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I spent the Fourth with my Bestie and her BF at the lake. We couldn't have asked for a better day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This weekend was a blast and I am pretty sure I overdosed on Vitamin D this weekend. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So Happy Monday to all and cheers to a great week!<br />
