Secret Santa

So, it's 8:00 at night and I'm just getting around to writing my post.  Ugh!  I've been working crazy long hours the past few weeks and I still have more work to do tonight but wanted to make sure I got this post in!

Kym, over at Travel Babbles was our hostess with the most-est for this awesome gift exchange and I am so grateful because this was so fun for a new blogger! I sent my gift to Hannah, and my Secret Santa was Kassi. 

Kassi did a fantastic job with her gift! Give me scentsy, and I'm a happy girl!
First off, her personalized stationary is so cute!  I definitely need to invest in some!

Okay y'all, if you drink wine or champagne go get yourself some of these NOW.  They are A-MAZ-ING.  You just put it on top of your bottle and then twist the top until it seals.  I opened a bottle of champagne, used one of these bad boys...and a WEEK later we still had bubbles!  Seriously, I love these things.

She also sent me some fabulous jewelry from Tori Spelling's line.  These pieces are awesome because you can mix and match the bottom  with any tops, so you can take an earring from a hoop one day to a dangle the next.  Such a fabulous idea!


Kassi, I can not thank you enough for your thoughtful gift, I love everything and hope you have a wonderful Christmas!!!!


If you want to see what I got Hannah, go on over to Hannah, Here! and check it out!

XOXO

A Mom's Stream Of Consciousness

Hey Hey Hey, look who decided to show up today!  I absolutely LOVE my job, but the last few weeks have definitely been some of the most hectic we've had.  After an extremely long day, I came home with a splitting headache and decided to get in a hot shower. Before my first foot even landed in the tub, I hear "Mom, are you in the shower?" followed by "mom, I have to go potty" "mom, can we go to Grandpa's house?" etc.  Keep in mind, Layne is home and there is no reason I should have to answer questions through the bathroom door for my entire 15 minute shower.  It really started to make me wonder when I'll be able to hop in and take a long uninterrupted shower ever again, which in turn made me think of a lot of things mom's think but don't always say. 

A Mom's Stream Of Consciousness 


I'm going to pretend I don't hear her and maybe she'll go back to sleep for a little longer.

Why does my husband have to stomp through the house first thing in the morning on a Saturday?  If he wakes her up, I'm going to kill him.

I'm so hungover, I wonder if it's healthy to feed my child a pop-tart for lunch? ***This actually did happen on Sunday after my office Christmas Party***

Why does she find 8347709123 things to do every time I tell her we need to hurry up and leave?

I really need to finish this project, I'll let her watch one more episode of Bubble Guppies( or 3).

There's only one more piece of chocolate left, I better hide it so I can eat it later when she's not looking.

Can she go one more day without a bath?  I'm pretty sure she didn't sweat today.

Was that stain on her shirt when I dressed her this morning?

Please let us make it from the back of Target to the bathroom in time, I really don't want to be the reason I hear "Cleanup on aisle 3"

I know it's hilarious when she repeats a bad word but DON'T laugh!

Did she wash her hands before she ate that?

I haven't given her any fruit snacks today, where did she get that???

For the love of everything good and holy, go to sleep so I can catch up on my SOA.

What app is missing from my phone?



XOXO
