34 Weeks with Baby number 3!!!

Hello Everyone! I just wanted to share, I'm 34 weeks pregnant today with baby number 3! I feel like it wasn't too long ago that we found out we were expecting and now the end is VERY near! Since we didn't find out the sex of the baby, we had to go through all of our newborn boxes and find all of our neutral clothes. I didn't realize how much baby clothes we really had! I have washed and put away all clothes and winter blankets so we will be somewhat prepared when baby arrives(Now all we need are pacifiers, diapers, hats... ya know, all the basics!)!

We found out a few Doctor appointments ago that baby will be here November 9th via Csection. It is definitely scary to think about having surgery, but it is also really nice to plan a babysitter for that day for the older 2 and nice for the family members that want to be there to take that day off of work ha!!!

Baby is still very active! It loves to stretch and push It's legs up under my ribs, then punch and kick my sides. Of my three pregnancies, this baby has been the most active! I'm excited to see how active our Sweet Pea is when it arrives! Let's hope we at least get SOME sleep haha! I'm feeling good overall, but definitely get tired more easily, which is to be expected when I'm chasing around 2 crazy boys all day ;)

Next week is an exciting week, we have our maternity pictures! I'm super excited, I've never really had professional pictures done before(never did them with my other 2 pregnancies) so this will be VERY different! I hope Johnny and Joey cooperate in them too haha!

We are so excited to see what this baby looks like, and what it is! November 9th will be here before we know it and we will have 3 kids under the age of 3! We are going to have a crazy house for awhile, but we wouldn't have it any other way!

Talk soon!

Crafty Saturday!

Hi Everyone! Well, Fall has officially arrived. Halloween and the holiday season are right around the corner. I've been on a Pinterest kick lately and always seeing these cute little finger paint crafts for kids. I thought it was finally time to try getting a little messy and crafty! I absolutely love the colors, weather, and food of Fall! I saw a cute picture on Pinterest of the Fall tree made out of hand prints, Johnny and I tried it!

We started out but mixing our our brown paint and making the tree trunk.

Then came the fun part for Johnny, getting messy! We painted our colors(red, yellow, and orange) on his hands and he got to go crazy! It turned out so cute!

Then, we dipped Johnny's fingers in our red, yellow and orange paint and dabbed for the "falling leaves" look  :)

This was such a fun project, we can't wait to do more!

Even Mommy got a little crafty!

I love spending one on one time with each of my kids and we are trying to take advantage of the time we have before baby number three gets here!

What are some of your favorite crafts to do???

Talk soon!

Quickie Powder Room Remodel for Under $25!!!

How would you like to go from this

To this???

For under $25!!!

You know those times where you feel like you just need a little change in a certain room in your house but don't have a lot of money to play around with? As I was cleaning my Powder Room I noticed the edges of the mirror looked so aged and it made the bathroom look bad. I thought maybe if we bought trim and edged out the mirror it would look SO cute! But then I had another thought... This is our "Sanibel Island, FL" themed bathroom so everything is all about the beach and seashells. We found an unopened can of tan textured spray paint in our storage in the basement and knew that this would be so cute for the border of the mirror. Since brass colored fixtures aren't really in anymore we also decided to do the same thing to the light fixture.

Here are all the supplies we needed for our CHEAP UPDATE ;)

Seriously that is all you need! It was such an easy, fun project!

So, here's the steps I used:

1.) Figure out how wide you want your border around the mirror to be and use your Painters Tape for your template.

2.) Then fill in the blue area with your masking paper. Make sure you cover around the outside edges of the mirror and over the sink so you don't make a huge mess.

3.) Spray away! (FYI being pregnant, I did not do any spray painting, my Mom did that job haha!)

4.) Once you are happy with the way the edges look you can remove the tape and paper.

5.) Repeat the same steps for the light fixture. See the cute seashells we used to cover the brass-colored bolts! (We also flipped the fixture so that the lights face the ceiling instead of right on top of you, it looks so much better this way!)

6.) Enjoy your updated powder room without the guilt of spending too much money!!! Love it!

Talk again soon!!!

Results are in! Want Stronger, Healthier Hair The NATURAL Way???

ProSanté

For Healthy Gorgeous Hair

Are you sick of trying to find that perfect product line for helping you have thicker, more vibrant and healthy hair?  Look no further!  Being a Cosmetologist, doing hair is my passion, so I am excited to introduce everyone to Shaklee’s ProSanté Hair Care System! 

Did you know that 50% of men will experience hair thinning in their lifetime, and 40% of women will also experience noticeable signs of similar hair thinning by AGE 35?  During a lifetime, everyone’s hair suffers damage due to poor diet and nutrition, medications you may be on, chemical processing, heat styling, plus life’s everyday stresses. The ProSanté Hair Care System works on helping you to have healthier more luxurious hair by starting at the scalp and working its way out to your ends.

Independent studies have shown that in just 30 days of continued use of the ProSanté Hair Care System people noticed the following:

~The amount of hair lost during combing was reduced by 50%

~The actual numbers of broken hairs decreased by as much as 73%

 ~ 61% of test subjects experienced visibly thicker hair

  ~55% of users noted a significant increase in the volume of their hair

There are just 6 products in the entire Hair Care System:

·         Nourishing Scalp Treatment- Proven to reduce hair loss and naturally thicken and strengthen hair.

·         Revitalizing Shampoo- Formulated with humectants and a vegetable derived protein for a smoother hair cuticle, which gives you better hair behavior and control. It is also safe for permed and color-treated hair.

·         Purifying Shampoo- Intensely deep cleans while protecting color, texture and natural moisture. Also I deal for oil control and also safe for chemically treated hair.

·         Lightweight Conditioner- For thin or thinning hair. Smooths and moisturizes without weighing your hair down.

·         Replenishing Conditioner-Strengthens hair with natural, vegetable-based protein for renewed elasticity. This is especially good for dry, overworked or overprocessed hair.

·         Long Lasting Finishing Spray- UV protection that keeps color at its most vibrant and prevents sun and heat damage while giving you the hold and control you need!

I have been using this system for about a week now and I am so impressed with how my hair feels before, during and after styling.  It not only feels amazing to me, but it looks healthier, I’m having great hair days! I want as many people as possible to try it out. I am running a promotion valid until September 30^th, 2012. Buy any TWO of the ProSanté Hair Care products with a Shaklee membership ($19.95 value) and I will give you a free haircut! For more information or to place your order, visit my website!
