General, Life in a Fairytale

32 Weeks and What a busy week!

4 Comments 23 February 2010

This is the week that we’ve been looking forward to for nearly a year! About 11 months ago, my sister officially got engaged! Then all the plans started. Now it’s finally here. On Friday, my baby sister is getting married. I’m so happy for her.

Well since I went to the doctor last week, I have decided to call and go back tomorrow. I am still feeling lots of pressure and I really want to be 100% that there is no infection. I would rather be safe than sorry. It will also be a whole week and a half til I see him again. Family will be leaving town on Saturday. Then Monday night, Stoney will be leaving for training until Thursday night.

As you can see I got his crib set up! I will be getting his crib set tomorrow so that will be put together tomorrow night too! I can’t wait! Then the final things I will need to do is order his diapers, put the bags together and in the car, and then wash his carseat and install it! I can’t believe it’s getting closer! Everything is falling into place.

This week we became the proud owners of a 2006 Chrysler Town & Country mini van! It is so exciting. I love having room for all the kids and being very comfortable. I can also travel and know that it’s reliable! We officially sign the papers tomorrow and I am just loving it.

So this week, if you don’t hear from me, you know I’ll be very busy with family and wedding plans. Of course I am the one that will be sitting down and supervising with the camera! I will be updating Twitter on how the doctor goes. So if you don’t want to wait for me to get back and have a few minutes, be sure to follow me on Twitter!

BIG CHANGES COMING

4 Comments 16 February 2010

Ok so maybe not BIG changes but a couple! I just wanted to send you all a little note and tell you what to expect! I will be moving my review & Giveaway & Promotions categories together into one. It will be titled: Fairytale Finds. I will also be creating a new series called Girl Talk. This will go along side the Fairytales and Tiaras show! This category will be challenges, topics and more that will go along with “girls”. I may also showcase some reviews and giveaways in this section that are STRICTLY under this category. As for another category, I am still working on that. It will be a parenting category though. I will also be adding a series to the General Section called Coffee Break. This will begin with a review and quite possibly will have a review once a month of different coffees. But other than that, it may just be a post about anything and everything. It may also be a video post.

So why am I doing this? Well I have been wanting to steer away from the “review” niche. I love doing reviews and offering giveaways so I will continue to do so. I just want to focus more on stuff that I truly appreciate and do it for myself. I absolutely love working with companies and offering my readers a chance to try new things as well. But I want to have time to get to know you all more! I want to have fun and it will be LOTS of fun! So stay tuned! Next week will be a rather slow week. For some reason I don’t think it will be appropriate to be blogging when my little sister is getting married! But I’ll be ready to kickstart March with a lot of fun!

PS Be sure to watch Fairytales and Tiaras on Friday at 4pm EST for some other fun and exciting news!

I’m going to say it! Valentine’s is all about the MONEY!

5 Comments 11 February 2010

Valentine’s Day is one of the most commercialized holidays today. Any other time of the year, you can find a dozen roses for under $25! Then this time of year and you can bet your bottom that your going to shell out 3 times that much! That is beyond ridiculous! Personally I am not into Valentine’s Day. My husband is sweet and does try. Last year he handed me the mail with a card stuck in the middle. It was such a surprise that it meant the world. Then the other day he went to the store and came home with a little plaque that says “My Loving Wife”. It was so cute and cheesy that I knew it was meant with a lot of love.

He knows that I don’t want flowers on Valentine’s day because I am a firm believer that it is one of those last minute gifts that have no thought put into it. Now if they were delivered in a thoughtful manner than that would possibly change my mind. But most flowers are delivered by some stranger with a card that was written by a stranger. See what I mean? No thought! Heck the person who bought them probably didn’t even know what the card said!

What about dinner? EEK! The restaurants are overcrowded and not romantic at all! Isn’t Valentine’s supposed to be romantic? How is a waiting room full of strangers waiting on that table to be cleared romantic? Personally my idea of a romantic dinner is not spent with strangers, but spent with my husband. A nice quiet candlelight dinner for 2 homecooked either at home or a picnic somewhere. As long as it’s just him and me. Where we can have an intimate moment without the ruckus of others. What would make it better? If this happened out of the blue! Not because they feel obligated but because they want to! I don’t need a holiday to tell me about love. I want to experience that intimacy throughout the year. We should also be celebrating marriage more than a few times a year!

Where have all the crayons gone? Help a mama out!

4 Comments 10 February 2010

This mama needs your help! Here is the dilemma. It’s Thursday night and homework is due the next morning. Everything is done except for the coloring parts! “Where are the crayons?”  and I get back “I don’t know.” Really they were just here when you were coloring in the coloring books! Now they are missing?

Seriously who keeps stealing the crayons. I have tried different solutions to this problem. A big tub of crayons. Went down the drain.

I think the next thing we will try is the Bartering system. ”Oh you want a crayon? Well give me your shoe.”

But then it will just end up piled in my room. So back to find another solution. Can you help me?
