To be honest, I found her on Pinterest. She has become very popular on there for her many hair tutorials. She is a professional hair stylist so her demos and pictures have been pinned a billion times. I love the feel and vibe of her blog so I check it <strike>daily</strike> often.<br />
<br />
This week she is having a series of guest posts on "What's in your purse". I actually love this idea. A lot, to be honest. It's amazing what our purses, inside and out, say about us. Carrying a purse is one of the many reasons it's great to be a woman. It's not only a great accessory but it's awesomely functional when you pick the right one. <br />
<br />
My favorite bag is the Coach Hobo I got for my 30th birthday. I had always wanted a REALLY nice bag and mentioned to my family that a combined effort for a Coach bag would be perfect and they did a fabulous job! I have even named her - Coco. She rides in the front passenger seat and NEVER touches the floor. Needless to say, I value this purse like a family member. Since then, I have acquired a few more Coach bags that I love and keep them in rotation as to not wear them completely out.<br />
<br />
A few months ago, I ran into a friend that had a great large tote and asked her where she got it. She gave me this great <a href="http://www.handbagheaven.com/" target="_blank">website </a>and I quickly fell in love. There are TONS of bags with great prices and quality. I was wanting a nice bright, colorful tote and was happy when I spotted a large turquoise bag. With a promotional code in hand, I bought it and was pleasantly surprised when it came a few days later and the quality was more than I had expected. I've carried this purse for 2 months straight and it goes with everything. It is roomy enough for all my necessities including my Nook as well as some things for the boy. So to tie this all back in to <a href="http://www.thesmallthingsblog.com/" target="_blank">The Small Things Blog</a>, I am going to share the craziness of my purse and tag a few friends so we can get a peak into their lives.<br />

Parties for little boys are a different kind of special. You get to use your creative brain to think outside the box especially when it's the 7th birthday and you've done the normal "kid" birthday themes. I've consulted <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest </a>with little results. Maybe I'm not using the correct terms for searching, who knows. Any who, this year's party theme came to me while sitting on the deck watching Hayden and Codey (neighbor) playing in the backyard. Ding! Ding! Ding! I'm a little embarrassed it took me this long to realize that I just need to base the party around what he likes to do the most - Nerf guns, chasing, shooting, pretending to be in combat!<br />
<br />
With this in mind, I went back to <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest </a>to get some ideas for the execution of said party. While there, I came across some super cute things for the party and some super cute "just because" things. I'm holding out on sharing those things until his birthday so instead, I'm going to share some things that make me happy.<br />

This is sweet little lew lew with her bunny ears her momma bought her. I even love the tongue sticking out for effects. <br />

On Saturday, we went to the church Easter Egg Hunt and was pleasantly surprised that it was sort of like a carnival with many activities for the kids and the egg hunt at the end. Before the egg hunt, the Youth Minister did a sweet little reminder of the reason for the season. It was super sweet to see all of the little kids answer his questions about Jesus. </div>

In my effort to find a photo of a "younger" self for Instagram, I came across this gem. This has to be Easter circa 1990 or close to. I absolutely LOVED this dress (I'm on the left and Beth is on the right). Mom made it for me for Easter. What I love so much is that this style has come back in. Surprised? Not really.<br />

With the Spring comes new vibrant colors in which I'm easily embracing. Turquoise, hot pink, mustard, coral - I want them all! Keeping this in mind, I'm ready for new front door decor. This is what mine looks like now:<br />

It was something simple and pretty (and on clearance at Target) between Christmas decorations and Spring but now it's completely B-O-R-I-N-G!!! I have some ideas floating around in my head but decided to do what every other female in the world would do - consult Pinterest! Holy smokes Batman, there are TONS of ideas out there. </div>

I love the look of the burlap although I'm not a fan of how it sheds. The pops of color really draw your eye in and I love the yellow ribbon it's hung from. The burlap would provide for many seasons with only having to change out the embellishments appropriately. Very cost efficient!</div>

When I came across this one, I was mesmerized by the gorgeous color and the chevron ribbon. I thought it would look awesome against the red door also. Make sure you click the link to the site to see how she made this. You'll never believe how easy, although time consuming, it was to make but she does a great job showing you in the step by step process. </div>

January 2012 tested and received his 3rd blue stripe (pic is MIA) and in February he received his blue belt (red stripe is for good grades). He also moved into the Children's Intermediate class. This class starts at blue belts and many of the kids are bigger and older. He seems to do better in these instances, almost like it forces him to participate better. When he gets bored, it's time to move classes.</div>

It has been amazing to watch him progress. He counts in Japanese to 10 and knows a good amount of the Japanese words for different kicks, punches and combinations. Hayden has even broken their test board a few times and thrown a "ninja" star. He is such a smart child and has thrived well in these classes (my mom was right, of course). I love looking back at these photos to see how much he has grown and matured from the first class where standing still for 30 seconds was serious stuff, to where he is now and has to stand still for 90 seconds. You wouldn't think standing still was very hard but for a little boy with a lot of energy, it's serious business!<br />Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06204123660924200300noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30920614.post-24227739989237683612012-03-20T20:43:00.000-05:002012-03-20T20:43:19.147-05:00Let's try this againI've gone back and forth for the past year on whether to revive the blog or just let it be. I am a lover of blogs and read them daily. I mostly enjoy reading about other moms that make it work and share all the mis-haps in between. I also enjoy crafting blogs. Saying that, I'm attempting to blend them both into my own. I feel like I've neglected this blog since facebook is such an easy way to share ideas, thoughts and photos with family and friends. <br />
<br />
In an effort to bring you up to speed, I'm going to do so in photos so I'm apologizing in advance for the massive amount of pictures. Hold on and I promise it will get better. :)<br />

<strong>October 2011 - Beth and Michael had their annual Fall Festival/Beth's birthday bash. We made a photo back drop this year and it was a huge hit! I set my camera on the tri-pod and snapped pics as people walked by. They are hilarious! The first one here is of me, Beth, mom, dad and my grandmother. The second picture is of Beth's mother-in-law and her boys. We kidd that Nick looked like Yosimite Sam. :)</strong><br />

He's been in school a little over a month now and I can tell a HUGE difference in his maturity level. I'm really starting to believe that girls mature much faster than boys. The struggle with him starting school was figuring out where he would get on and off the bus (I'll explain the bus issue in a minute). Working 60 miles away isn't really conducive to taking him to school and then sitting in the school pick up line. As much as I would like for it to, it just doesn't happen at our house. Thankfully, I found a great place that is less than 200 yards from the school (I'm serious, I'll explain this so hold tight). I drop him off, he gets to play with friends before and after school which is nice because once he's picked up, the mad rush of soccer practice, bath, dinner, and homework (yes, somehow Kindergartners have homework) begins.<br /><br /><br />I am so pleased at how smart this kid is. He has smart parents and all (shout-out to myself and the husband) so it's really no surprise. The only challenge has been keeping his attention at night to concentrate on spelling his name, learning his bus number and lunch number. It appears that Kindergarten is the new First Grade. Now, these kids are expected to know how to tie their shoes (thank goodness that came easy for him) and are learning to read. READ. Yes people, I said read. Boy, times have seriously changed.<br /><br /><br />Back to the bus issue. I am one of those parents that isn't a fan of the bus at this point. I will openly admit it. I think it stems from being a controlling person (who me? Mrs. High D personality) and also working so far away from him/school. He, on the other hand, LOVES riding the bus. I'm glad he does and isn't afraid of new situations or people (another bonus characteristic from me). He actually mentioned to me on the way to school yesterday that he wished he were big enough to get on the bus at home - by himself. I actually think I whipped my head around and gave him the "don't push it" look. Seriously, isn't going to Kindergarten enough for me to adjust to at this point or is he really wanting me to lose my mind. I digress. The first day that he rode the bus from the before/after care to school, I actually sat in my car in the parking lot to see for myself how this whole bus thing was going to work for him. It was a huge relief to see the bus PULL INTO THE PARKING LOT of the center to let the kids get on the bus. Score #1! As everyone was seated like good little boys and girls, the bus pulled out of the parking lot and drove 200 yards to the school. That's right. His rear-end was barely on the seat before it was time to get off the bus. Score #2! Needless to say, this arrangement is working out nicely for everyone.<br /><br /><br />I have a lot to catch you up on so it's going to take a few posts to get you current (and I have to actually download pictures off my camera seeing as how they've not done that themselves yet). Being a mom of a Kindergartner is pretty cool. Although it is a bit challenging explaining why he has to do homework when he already knows how to do a particular task. The fun part is only starting for him as well as us - learning to read. I think between learning to read and tying his own shoes ranks as some of the best parenting things thus far and it's only getting better!Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06204123660924200300noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30920614.post-3012827832272929742009-08-11T19:46:00.004-05:002009-08-11T19:57:06.430-05:00<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#009900;">International Harvester</span></strong></div><br />...is Hayden's favorite song.

That word pretty much sums up my experience with Relay for Life. I was lucky enough to participate in the event this past weekend with a good friend and her family. This family has been battling cancer for the past several years and I was honored to join their team!<br /><br />I wasn't sure what to expect when joining but was up for the challenge to walk, cook, and sell from 5:00pm Friday night until 5:00am Saturday morning to raise funds and awareness for the American Cancer Society. I cannot begin to tell you the emotions I felt while looking around at all the survivors (wearing purple shirts) and the support from the community. Awesome!!!!<br /><br />The relay started with the opening ceremony in which the Survivors walked the first lap. This was the first of many tears for me that night. It was amazing to see these strong people!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIJkDKmBg8up2ewbZ-rd30JB4YQKR1BE9ClTLsBGt6-jWv-sVokoEU0Wvnjl8BXGaDAYWvNkQy3V3xgXmawQ4dLRN5sdy533AbQLCvYnq2ZXxKHrSCsZ6kJhL9YcFDFrLKIb67dg/s1600-h/IMG_6627.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345139215673628914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIJkDKmBg8up2ewbZ-rd30JB4YQKR1BE9ClTLsBGt6-jWv-sVokoEU0Wvnjl8BXGaDAYWvNkQy3V3xgXmawQ4dLRN5sdy533AbQLCvYnq2ZXxKHrSCsZ6kJhL9YcFDFrLKIb67dg/s400/IMG_6627.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUqeHhEFpAzES4fxed6YkZhDur-Q1Bk0Rq4-C_ySk3PrrGWvhjgHWeyUhOR_sGP96jPSrTC6oPQzHvzE4TxeaKV_PJu-P7m2Ev9a9SiMYsoSbTua1QL3R8zwjVzMmB-Q4peKfOFw/s1600-h/IMG_6628.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345139213723342082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUqeHhEFpAzES4fxed6YkZhDur-Q1Bk0Rq4-C_ySk3PrrGWvhjgHWeyUhOR_sGP96jPSrTC6oPQzHvzE4TxeaKV_PJu-P7m2Ev9a9SiMYsoSbTua1QL3R8zwjVzMmB-Q4peKfOFw/s400/IMG_6628.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The second lap was with the Survivors and their caregivers....next set of tears for me :)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXO63U-okeScCdNZ6rs47e_YQM8lhz_XCsUC0R1WwhdnW-008Txtgef0clezAuU4EX1E_EJ3oKDyfSHrpnQtipHQ1Tsb3zN3RpNb5Ef69_uUSHIFHtnAOT6OR_hnlWUfpC_aFj4g/s1600-h/IMG_6639.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345139208526745666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXO63U-okeScCdNZ6rs47e_YQM8lhz_XCsUC0R1WwhdnW-008Txtgef0clezAuU4EX1E_EJ3oKDyfSHrpnQtipHQ1Tsb3zN3RpNb5Ef69_uUSHIFHtnAOT6OR_hnlWUfpC_aFj4g/s400/IMG_6639.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This was our tent.

He is so independent (on most things). Some nights he doesn't even want us to tuck him in *sigh*. His vocabulary has such a range that sometimes I'm very surprised. He has learned a new tactic that we are breaking very quickly - back talking! Very annoying but definately a stage that he is going thru.</div><div> </div><div>Hayden is also very affectionate right now. This is a nice change as he's not normally that way. He likes to sit in daddy's lap at night before going to bed. It is absolutely adorable to watch. This past year has brought minor "boo boos" which is to be expected for a child that bounces off the walls :) All in all, it has been a great year for Hayden and we look forward to seeing what this next year brings!</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06204123660924200300noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30920614.post-66562650110742968152009-06-08T19:57:00.004-05:002009-06-08T20:25:06.496-05:00<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Hayden's 4th Birthday</span></strong></div><br /><br />His cake that Noona made.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS2uZeRurN1Rpwzs-xO5OckweonJoWUxlnwDIrtVG27A6Y4eDHHz-2UxPU-9kQed-8pTxaK2njTmHVW9shXBeJjlzRy1QYNZR2UsUPNI4-qY6UlfPV18ddRa6TbfmsXgjrVGlqEQ/s1600-h/IMG_6439.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345130784444105682" style="DISPLAY: block;

Basically, you peel the crayons, place in a cooking tin that you don't mind not using again, bake on 200 for 18 minutes, cool, and voila! This was something that Hayden loved doing. To make these as gifts, I bought dollar store crayons and let Hayden break them up and decide what colors to go where. Great way to get them involved.

It's been rather crazy and not a whole lot going on at the same time. Hayden is pretty much at the age that it's what he says that is so amazing rather than what he does. Being 3 1/2 is hard business! Some of my favorite things he says...<br /><br /><strong>Hayden</strong>: "Mom, I'm going to sleep in my belly tonight."<br /><strong>Translation</strong>: Mom, I don't want to sleep in my jammies tonight, just my underwear.<br /><br /><strong>Hayden</strong>: "I'm going to punk"<br /><strong>Translation</strong>: I'm going to hit you (nice, I know)<br /><br /><strong>Hayden</strong> (getting undressed for bath time and his shirt caught on his head): "Mom, this is my long hair"<br /><br /><strong>Hayden</strong>: "My bottom popped."<br /><strong>Translation</strong>: Gas (lovely I know but he thinks it's hilarious)Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06204123660924200300noreply@blogger.com0
