Five on Friday

What a week it has been! Paisley woke up Wednesday morning with 102 temp after having a cold for a week so I decided to take her to the Doctor and after a two hour wait {yes isn't that ridiculous for a baby!?} she was diagnosed with a double ear infection and a respiratory infection. The girl knows how to get sick! Its been a long week inside with a crying baby, but I sure have enjoyed all the cuddling. So for a little fun for this momma lets do some Five on Friday shall we??

 

ONE

 

Paisley and I joined a Mommy & Me group at our church last week and Im so thrilled for the fun we are going to have. The ladies are all super great and encouraging and I couldn't have picked a better group to join! Cant wait for next week!!

Before Paisley got crazy sick we had a little Valentine craft fun :) She didn't think the paint all over her hands and feet were so great, but I love how it came out. This may just stay up in our house all year long

 

 

THREE

 

I found these bad boys at the store the other day when I was venturing the ice cream, which should never happen again, but these are totally yum! My favorite is the Sea Salt Caramel one, but they are quite delish! Go get some people and don't share!!

 

 

FOUR

 

Alright peeps, who uses these oils? I want the good, the bad and the ugly on these. I need something to boost poor little Paisleys Immune System not to mention finding another healthier approach to get ourselves on the mend. Do you recommend and which ones? Spill all the details :)

 

 

FIVE

 

I saw this on my Instagram feed the other night and just died. Ladies you know what Im talking about....

 

 

Happy Friday! Have a great weekend!



 

Five on Friday

Y'all I love the Holiday season, but after going non stop for the past few days with a baby in tow everywhere we go, I am certainly feeling the exhaustion and we havent even reached Christmas yet!! Im hoping that despite all the craziness we have this weekend in preparation for our Christmas Eve party that we get a little bit of down time in there somewhere! 

I cant believe this is our last Friday before Christmas! It feels so unreal. Time is passing much quicker this year since we had Paisley and come the beginning of January I am going to be beside myself that Paisley Grace will almost be a year!! Oh.goodness.where.does.it.all.go??

...One...

Wednesday we were able to pick up our Christmas gift that all the parents helped chip in for and Aaron and I could not be any more excited than to have a Yamaha MM8 in our home!! We have searched for over a year for a good deal on a keyboard and havent found one that was really in our budget until I happened to see one pop up on Craigslist through a pawn store and immediately we put it on layaway, and well, the rest is history! I love our new keyboard and I know its going to help us tremendously!!

...Two...

Paisley was able to open an early Christmas gift from Aaron's Mom and Step-dad and we have had so much fun playing with the Fisher Price Little People Nativity! Paisley loves the people and the animals!

...Three...

Tuesday for my birthday we took Paisley to the Wild Wonderland at the Tampa Zoo and to say we had a blast was an understatement. She squealed, screamed and pointed at the thousands of lights and at the animals! This girl is a hoot! We are taking her to the Zoo for her actual birthday and I cant wait to see the excitement when she can really see all the animals!! Best birthday ever!! 

...Four...

My hubby surprised me with this beautiful necklace for my birthday! I am so proud of the choice he made :) He gets major points for this one!

...Five...

I know as the beginning of the year approaches, I am in desperate need to get back to getting healthy and getting into shape. My MIL just got this book on a Black Friday special and now I am really wanting this as well! Alot of the recipes can be used for simple, quick and healthy lunches. Lunch time is something I fail at miserably with having a baby at home because sometimes as a mom you just dont get a break and lunch time generally is the one that suffers the most. Lots of salad ideas and simple wraps and other yummy recipes! Hoping this book finds its way into my home before January 1st :)

Merry Christmas you all!! 

I am off to finish stocking stuffer shopping!

New obsession. Body Brushing!

I kept seeing this on Pinterest and many of our friends doing this and thought I would give this a try. I found my brush at Ross for $3. I wish it was a little softer, but it will do for now :) If you are interested, I know Amazon sells them anywhere from $4-$16. They have quite the selection too, but if you dont want to pay for the shipping, you can check Ross, Homegoods, a health store and Possibly even Walmart or Target.


Benefits of Body Brushing:

*Helps remove cellulite
*Cleanses the lymphatic system
*Removes dead skin layers
*Strengthens the immune system
*Stimulates the hormone and oil-producing aging
*Tightens the skin preventing premature aging
*Tones the muscles
*stimulates circulation
*Improves the function of the nervous system
*Helps digestion

Today was my first day trying this and I can honestly say that it definitely makes your skin softer. As the days go and I get more use to this I will post an update.
