I've been using them for 2 weeks now and they've held up very nicely through all the washing and stinky diapers!!! The patterns are absolutely adorable! The size is great, I got the 11x13, it's perfect to use at home and even more perfect for on the go! I actually got really excited the 1st time my son had a poopy diaper when we were in a meeting at the lawyers. After changing him in the super fancy bathroom I stuck that nasty in the wet bag, put in my diaper bag, sat for another 45 minutes (not fun with a 13 month old) in a closed room and NEVER smelled that nasty diaper! My diaper bag's also open and you'd never guess what that bag is, it's so cute you'd never guess what was inside :)</div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/TGWF8DUbVNI/AAAAAAAAEC4/X6i3wiEkY0U/s1600/cow+diaper+023.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 550px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/TGWF8DUbVNI/AAAAAAAAEC4/X6i3wiEkY0U/s800/cow+diaper+023.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504953386259928274" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/TGWF7vc6eDI/AAAAAAAAECw/XqCeMIxitPg/s1600/cow+diaper+021.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 550px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/TGWF7vc6eDI/AAAAAAAAECw/XqCeMIxitPg/s800/cow+diaper+021.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504953380926814258" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I love these <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/51706187/11-x-13-wet-bag-pinkwhite-floral-ready"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;">wet bags</span></span></i></b></a> and will be purchasing more from her in the NEAR future :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you "like" them on facebook you get $5 OFF!!!

We don't talk EVER, but when we do see each other it's like I never left. We've been e-mailing back and forth today about the yr I did move back and all the good times we had. I miss her, I miss all my friends! </div><div style="text-align: center;"> The one thing that does scare me about moving back is family. That sounds horrible, I miss them dearly but with BB I feel like we're going to have visitors (family) ALL the time! Guess I'll deal with that when the time comes. Until then I'm going to enjoy hogging my family to myself! I DO LOVE THAT! I love not feeling pressured by friends to go out because it's Friday night and just lounging around with MY boys :)</div><div style="text-align: center;">-------</div><div style="text-align: center;">Hubby's in MO today for work but will be back tonight, can't wait to see him! Was up all night, terrified someone was going to break in and hurt me (PATHETIC) I hate it when he's gone and all the stupid games my mind plays on me :(</div><div style="text-align: center;">Nothing like the security of the person you love!</div><div style="text-align: center;">-------</div><div style="text-align: center;">Speaking of MO they still haven't put grass down in the park where we're having my son's 1st b-day. That's not very nice of them! It's in 1 month people! Guess it's time to just face it and come to peace that his 1st b-day party will be in the mud! Should've wrote in the invitations to bring an extra pair of shoes and clothes!</div><div style="text-align: center;">-------</div><div style="text-align: center;">Not ready to blog about this, but having some changes coming soon with my job.

class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"> that it's slowly becoming more acceptable in public! I was Super excited when I received this breastfeeding hat, at first I was a little hesitant since I have a hard time getting BB to wear a hat in general. But it's a great fit and even at first when he was tugging to get it off he couldn't get it off so he just gave up! I actually received quite a few compliments on it while we were in Florida and I was pretty much feeding BB anywhere I could get him to eat (you know how vacations are...crazy!) Lots of moms with older children saying how they wish they had this when they were breastfeeding!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">There are several cute </span><a href="http://www.moboleez.com/productinfo/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">designs</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"> to choose from as well as 2 </span><a href="http://www.moboleez.com/productinfo/sizes.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">sizes</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">I stole a few pics from </span><a href="http://www.moboleez.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">MoBoleez</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"> website because I just couldn't believe how casual these moms look, this product is truly amazing!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S9CY5pR3irI/AAAAAAAACrY/d8wqoAbSTGM/s1600/monica_josi.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 232px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S9CY5pR3irI/AAAAAAAACrY/d8wqoAbSTGM/s320/monica_josi.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463034464101173938" /></a></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S9CY5YNwycI/AAAAAAAACrQ/0ZynmTUBxS0/s1600/meganandson.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S9CY5YNwycI/AAAAAAAACrQ/0ZynmTUBxS0/s320/meganandson.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463034459520551362" /></a></div><div><div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC66CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></i></b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Seriously how cute are they??</span></i></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></i></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></i></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"></span></i></b></span></div><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"></span></i></b><div></div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;"><b><i><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">A breastfeeding hat is based on a simple, fun idea.

This product is great for moms on the go, it's for the mom that can't stay home 24/7 to privately feed her little one. I was so scared to feed my son in public and avoided it at all cost. But there came a time that I had no choice, we were at the mall and I lost track of time, my son needed to eat and he needed to eat NOW! I pulled out my nursing cover (that seem to take up my entire bag) and I stumbled around trying to cover myself and latch him without being able to see him, it was a mess. My son's older now and a pro at breastfeeding but I'm still having issues feeding him comfortably in public. I received the BabyBond a few days ago, a beautifully crafted "scarf" that wraps over your shoulder covering your breast but not your baby, it keeps that special bond between mommy and baby by keeping eye contact and communication OPEN!! I purposely went to the mall during feeding time so I could <span style="font-style:italic;">honestly</span> review this product, for the 1st time I felt comfortable, relaxed and gave a great feeding in PUBLIC!<br /><br />I will be honest when I first saw it, I was a little lost on how to use it, but it comes with great directions, after a few minutes I figured it out (If I can do it, anyone can do it!) I was very nervous about writing my first review, "what if I didn't like the product?" Seriously, what if you don't like the product, do you lie?" Luckily that is not the case :) I love this product and here's why..<br /><br />- I'm a nanny and I breastfeed my son at work. The father works from home, he randomly comes upstairs and I jump at the sight of him if I'm feeding BB and cover up. I've tried the nursing cover, it worked in the beginning but for the last few months BB refuses to have something over his head, honestly I don't blame him! I tried the Baby Bond and it's perfect, it covers what <span style="font-style:italic;">I</span> need covered and doesn't interfere with BB.<br /><br />- I was very impressed with the fabric, it's soft and high quality. It's made in the US..what a plus!<br /><br />- You don't have to spend hundreds (like I did) on nursing tops and covers. It actually cost less than most nursing tops! I'm hooked!<br /><br />- Missy, the creator of this product and company is a mom that found a way to FINALLY openly breastfeed and be discreet about it. Missy didn't just stop at helping mothers proudly feed their baby in public, she's also helping mothers in need, what a champ.

It's partially your fault though, I realize I don't take care of you but razor bumps are not so pretty, if could you keep those to yourself and not to mention those sneaky <del>little</del> long hairs I always miss, not nice.

Here ya go!<br /><br />There are several theories regarding the origin of April Fools' Day, and none of them are 100% definitive. However, one does stand above the rest: The Museum of Hoaxes explains that in 1564, King Charles IX of France passed a law that changed the beginning of the year from April 1 to January 1.<br /><br />News of the change traveled slowly. Those who were either misinformed or slow to make the adjustments still celebrated the New Year on April 1. As a result, they were mocked and pranks were pulled.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/144/68386E24F26C0439CCC4AD4EA791C83F.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2245538482488966518-541085578813552885?l=mymommythenanny.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brandynoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2245538482488966518.post-27031686480922954492010-03-31T07:10:00.001-07:002010-04-21T08:08:04.560-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S7NX6L_q0jI/AAAAAAAACOM/K-bcK0bslTs/s1600/9+months+003.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S7NX6L_q0jI/AAAAAAAACOM/K-bcK0bslTs/s320/9+months+003.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454800230839669298" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/144/68386E24F26C0439CCC4AD4EA791C83F.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2245538482488966518-2703168648092295449?l=mymommythenanny.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brandynoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2245538482488966518.post-66896920299979396122010-03-30T08:14:00.000-07:002010-04-21T08:08:21.513-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S7IVz5Nk5cI/AAAAAAAACNk/z2ymg5H1VME/s1600/9+months+004.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 285px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S7IVz5Nk5cI/AAAAAAAACNk/z2ymg5H1VME/s320/9+months+004.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454446079974368706" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Why is this so funny, you ask...let me explain!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;">This is a photo of my husbands best friend.

We'll my best friend (ZD's wife) posted this picture on Facebook yesterday making fun of his tennis attire. This picture shows much more than that, it shows that ZD has lost AT LEAST 20lbs. So, I woke up this morning to this picture on my refrigerator AND in our bedroom! PB motivation is kind of creeping me out, I mean really...does it need to be posted in our bedroom??? LOL!!

That's not how I want to be so I went to the post to delete it. <span style="font-style:italic;">But </span> decided instead to write this post about <span style="font-style:italic;">why</span> I was so negative.<br /><br />I don't complain to my family <span style="font-style:italic;">EVER</span> about motherhood and I <span style="font-style:italic;">rarely</span> complain to my husband about it. I honestly have no reason to complain, but it's nice to have the option to vent if I need too. <br /><br />One reason I named my blog "This is my happy hour" is because it's my place to talk to my girls and that's what you do, you vent to your girls.<br /><br />As a side note, I wasn't complaining about being a mommy! I was complaining that nothing seemed to go as planned. It made me sad that my son's first trip to the Zoo wasn't full of giggles, smiles and babbling. It was still a great time, but I chose to point out the negative things at that moment.<br /><br />Here's why I had an awesome time at the Zoo..<br />-I got to spend the entire day with my family :)<br />-My son saw animals he's only read about!<br />-My husband got to feed a bird!<br />-I got to break in my new flip flops!<br />-I didn't fall in the bathroom!<br />-We got to enjoy the beautiful 75 degree weather and I wore a hat so I didn't have to worry about the 30 mile an hr winds.<br />-I exchanged my make-up since these pictures showed me it was the wrong shade!<br />-My son got to go to the Zoo for the 1st time with the 2 people that love him most!<br /><br />Here are some happy pics from the Zoo!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S7C3SX3UHKI/AAAAAAAACL0/S5Y_jCA7Rlw/s1600/FW+Zoo+001.JPG"><img style="display:block;

My family's never been against me breastfeeding but they've never really supported me. He was in disbelief when I told him all the benefits of breastfeeding, he kept saying "why don't they hang that on the doors of hospitals, WOW, I never knew any of that." I think that's how half of America feels and if I can teach one person at a time about the benefits of breastfeeding I WILL! I should rename this blog "MB's obsession with breastfeeding" since it's pretty much all I talk about :)<br /></span><br />Like many other mother's out there I've had some issues with breastfeeding.. pain, always worrying if I'm producing enough, distractable baby, but my main on-going issue was dairy. I went dairy free (no milk, soy, cheese, honestly I could go on for hrs on what I couldn't eat) for 8 months, BB's now handling dairy much better! My sister one day asked me "why do you do that, why give that up to breastfeed?" My response, "it's the least I can do!"<br /><br />When we would visit our families in STL we were out all the time so feeding BB became hard to do in private. There were a few very uncomfortable moments with my parents parked in the car. I would get in back and feed BB, my parents would stare out the window, car off, no radio, scared to look anywhere in the car in fear that they'd catch a glimpse of boob! I just hate how uncomfortable the world makes something so natural feel. <div><br /></div><div>I think it's so funny that people drink cows milk daily but still have issues with human milk...need I say more??!!??<br /><br />I need start a campaign for breastfeeding :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S6wM-Riog_I/AAAAAAAACH8/w5X0CaQe2DM/s1600/89608267v11_480x480_Front_Color-White.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S6wM-Riog_I/AAAAAAAACH8/w5X0CaQe2DM/s320/89608267v11_480x480_Front_Color-White.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452747512838915058" /></a>Ok, I'm done, <i>for now</i>!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/144/68386E24F26C0439CCC4AD4EA791C83F.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2245538482488966518-5405111010309528118?l=mymommythenanny.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brandynoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2245538482488966518.post-63018246591578483362010-03-24T17:24:00.000-07:002010-04-21T08:10:04.110-07:0030 Questions!<br /><br />1.

Since BB was born (9 months ago) we've had 3 times were both of us have been away from him and 2 of those were date nights. Luckily my mother-n-law fly's in every few months and that's when we take advantage of getting out for a little bit.<br /><br />It's getting harder, I need my husband, I need that time away, I need him to look at me and see me as more than the mother of his son. I miss talking to him (we talk, but it's about BB, it's bout work, it's while we sit on the couch and we're both on the computer or watching T.V.) I love our life, I love that I have both of them to myself but sometimes I wish we could just trust someone enough with our little guy and GET OUT!<br /><br />I think it's so funny how guys can just leave, "hey hun, I'm going to the gym, the library, golf lessons" or just leaving to get out. But when I leave it's this whole planned ordeal, I have to wait tell BB takes a nap so when he wakes I can feed him, then sneak out for a few hrs. My sweet hubby watched BB yesterday while I ran a few needed errands, 1 hr into these errands I received my 2nd phone call from him only to hear complete silence on the other end...<br /><br />Me "hunny, hunny, hello??"<br /><br />PB "Can you come home?"<br /><br />Me "What's wrong?"<br /><br />PB "He coughed when he was eating and I'm scared."<br /><br />Me "Ok, on my way."<br /><br />PB "how long until you get here?"<br /><br />I admit it feels awesome to be needed so much, to have the feeling that I'm the only one that knows that little boy in and out and that no one can care for him the way I can. Buuuuut, it's nice to have <span style="font-style:italic;">a little</span> alone time too, o'well maybe in 5 yrs after the next one is potty trained!!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/144/68386E24F26C0439CCC4AD4EA791C83F.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2245538482488966518-291507261668649163?l=mymommythenanny.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brandynoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2245538482488966518.post-37018254318733187792010-03-22T07:13:00.000-07:002010-04-21T08:11:14.979-07:00Wow, it's already Monday!<br /><br />* I'm not going to worry about my husband driving to Austin tomorrow morning for work!<br /><br />* I'm also not worried about shaving again because he'll be gone all week (ok, maybe just once since it's going to be 70 tomorrow!)<br /><br />* I'm not going to worry about my dad flying for the 1st time by himself since he was in his 20's, he'll be fine! I'm also not going to worry about him getting lost in the airport :)<br /><br />* I'm not worried about taking the boys to the petting zoo tomorrow, lots of hand sanitizer + an awesome time!<br /><br />Have a great week ahead, so happy my daddy's visiting but going to miss my hubby A LOT!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/144/68386E24F26C0439CCC4AD4EA791C83F.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2245538482488966518-3701825431873318779?l=mymommythenanny.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brandynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2245538482488966518.post-68383349504308040422010-03-21T08:00:00.000-07:002010-04-21T08:11:31.541-07:00Last week my little one started pulling up on his crib and devouring the sides of the crib! I thought I was smart by buying a front crib cover that I put on when he started crawling, but never thought about the sides. I was in shock when I walked into BB's room last week to find his mouth covered in crib pant, ahhh! So, I contacted a great friend of mine and begged her (not really, but I would've if she said "no") to make some side covers for my little boogers crib. She graciously said "yes!" <span style="font-weight:bold;"> <a href="http://shanmom.blogspot.com/">Shannon</a></span> had her wisdom teeth pulled out this week and STILL made my covers and mailed them to me within 3 days of me asking, what an amazing friend, thanks babe! I washed them last night and here they are!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S6Y2u24rzcI/AAAAAAAACFk/Wtw_QtUzcLA/s1600-h/swimming+8months+043.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S6Y2u24rzcI/AAAAAAAACFk/Wtw_QtUzcLA/s320/swimming+8months+043.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451104577613712834" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/144/68386E24F26C0439CCC4AD4EA791C83F.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2245538482488966518-6838334950430804042?l=mymommythenanny.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brandynoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2245538482488966518.post-29531976855481741842010-03-20T13:18:00.000-07:002010-04-21T08:11:46.101-07:00This is so exciting, I will be having my first giveaway shorty!

WELL...I can't, it breaks my heart to tell him "NO!" Lately he's been chewing on the computer cord (plugged into the wall) so, I'm practicing my new found word "NO" B.U.T he looks at me with the sweetest look you've ever seen and actually stops, it melts my heart. I hate having to say that nasty word to that sweet innocent face.."Oh, lord I'm done for, this child is going to walk all over me" and I'm ok with that, now how do we get daddy on that same wagon!?!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/144/68386E24F26C0439CCC4AD4EA791C83F.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2245538482488966518-8982827650236397518?l=mymommythenanny.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brandynoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2245538482488966518.post-59310506618595544882010-03-19T12:17:00.000-07:002010-04-21T08:12:15.109-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S6PP-_kIWsI/AAAAAAAACDs/geOeqH7AW7o/s1600-h/probably-bad-news-pizza-driver-replacements.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S6PP-_kIWsI/AAAAAAAACDs/geOeqH7AW7o/s320/probably-bad-news-pizza-driver-replacements.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450428655170247362" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S6PP-db8PrI/AAAAAAAACDk/Gi1Ie12kv60/s1600-h/fail-owned-duck-medical-fail.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 256px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S6PP-db8PrI/AAAAAAAACDk/Gi1Ie12kv60/s320/fail-owned-duck-medical-fail.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450428646009093810" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S6PP99lwo8I/AAAAAAAACDc/vpdHTJp8C8w/s1600-h/fb181.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 218px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S6PP99lwo8I/AAAAAAAACDc/vpdHTJp8C8w/s320/fb181.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450428637460341698" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S6PP9gRBbcI/AAAAAAAACDU/x4eo_k8CiuQ/s1600-h/epic-fail-stolen-mail-fail.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S6PP9gRBbcI/AAAAAAAACDU/x4eo_k8CiuQ/s320/epic-fail-stolen-mail-fail.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450428629588733378" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S6PP9ZbYX2I/AAAAAAAACDM/5p3KTfOSiW4/s1600-h/baby-fail.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S6PP9ZbYX2I/AAAAAAAACDM/5p3KTfOSiW4/s320/baby-fail.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450428627753131874" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/144/68386E24F26C0439CCC4AD4EA791C83F.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2245538482488966518-5931050661859554488?l=mymommythenanny.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brandynoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2245538482488966518.post-87405897852605522012010-03-19T11:49:00.001-07:002010-04-21T08:12:29.348-07:00BB (Baby Bear), June 25, 2010!

I've booked the park, printing the <span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/DesignsByGeorgia">invitations</a><span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span> and relying on family for decorations (yes, scary but a must considering we're flying in the day before the party...I have no other choice!) <br /><br />I would <span style="font-style:italic;">LOVE</span> some ideas on our party favors, any cute ideas on what to send the kiddos home with?

Getting so close to hanging out with baby daddy for the weekend. I feel like I never see the guy during the week, this is our after work schedule...<br /><br />5:30-both get home from work<br />5:30-6:30-bath and put BB down (usually shove dinner down in between running around with little rug-rat)<br />6:30-7:30-Momma relax time (glass of wine, please) baby daddy goes to gym<br />7:30-8:30- hang out with baby daddy<br />8:30/9-Momma heads to bed<br /><br />Weekend-FAMILY TIME!<br /><br />So, I just found out that baby daddy's going out of town for 3 days next week, ahhh! I can handle one day, I'm getting use to that but 3 is pushing it. Luckily my dear daddy retired last yr so I begged him to fly to Texas to stay with me and.... he said "YES!" I'm so excited! My sweet daddy's never left my mommy (EVER) so this will be very hard for him, maybe it'll be a nice little break for both of them! Plus grandpa gets to spend 3 days with his grandson that he only gets to see every 2-4 months, so I'm pretty sure he'll have a good time!<br /><br />I talked to my work and dear daddy's going to come with me Tues-Thu, I'm so excited, it's going to be "bring daddy to work week!" I think he'll have fun watching how Graham (the little boy I nanny for) and BB (my little rug-rat) interact.<br /><br />Fun times ahead, but we'll miss baby daddy SOOOO much<a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/144/68386E24F26C0439CCC4AD4EA791C83F.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2245538482488966518-8035188284951059672?l=mymommythenanny.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brandynoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2245538482488966518.post-3398150144444166672010-03-17T07:21:00.000-07:002010-04-21T08:13:30.882-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S6DltZpsV9I/AAAAAAAAB_0/Z9Hv6MAVz3Y/s1600-h/golfing+011.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S6DltZpsV9I/AAAAAAAAB_0/Z9Hv6MAVz3Y/s320/golfing+011.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449608117260933074" /></a><br /><br />Ha, ha!

I would still appreciate it leaving though!<br /><br />*I'm not going to worry about my son ingesting crib paint since he's learned to pull up and eat the crib! I would like to thank <span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="http://shanmom.blogspot.com/">Shannon</a></span> for making a crib cover for me to avoid future ingesting of crib paint!<br /><br />*I'm not going to worry about going back to work tomorrow because I love what I do and I get to spend the day with my son!<br /><br />I think I'm good for this week!<br />Happy Monday<a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/144/68386E24F26C0439CCC4AD4EA791C83F.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2245538482488966518-7664438345593265187?l=mymommythenanny.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brandynoreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2245538482488966518.post-22174289877126680742010-03-13T19:54:00.000-08:002010-04-21T08:14:00.670-07:00There will be many more post about breastfeeding, but I have to start somewhere and I thought this to be funny and true!<br /><br />I saw a t-shirt that said "You don't eat your lunch in a toilet cubicle, so why should my baby?!" I'm guilty of this and I honestly hate to admit it, I HATE that something so natural and HEATHLY is looked so down upon. I HATE that I feel I need to find a spot to hide to feed me child. I wear a cover and even if I don't have that available I don't just pull my boob out, I'm a "responsible breastfeeder." If my baby needs to eat I don't want to feel like I'm breaking rules. I once heard a lady rudley tell her son after passing me, "well I guess babies have to eat too." AHHH!!! What is with people now a days??!! <br /><br />I have to apologize, I really hate to complain, but this is something near &amp; dear to my heart! I LOVE BREASTFEEDING!<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S5xiGcjGK6I/AAAAAAAAB-Y/tiuKRUSLPD4/s1600-h/436355691v3_350x350_Front_Color-White.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S5xiGcjGK6I/AAAAAAAAB-Y/tiuKRUSLPD4/s320/436355691v3_350x350_Front_Color-White.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448337512093592482" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/144/68386E24F26C0439CCC4AD4EA791C83F.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2245538482488966518-2217428987712668074?l=mymommythenanny.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brandynoreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2245538482488966518.post-72310150011191950342010-03-12T11:40:00.001-08:002010-04-21T08:14:17.134-07:00Ok, so I gave in today and finally bought myself cloths that FIT! Yay! I have a feeling I might get a few "boo's" after this...since I had my son I actually weigh less than before I got pregnant. I realize this is what everyone wants, but not me! I'm already tall &amp; skinny, grew up being called anorexic, I would honestly like a little meat on my bones!<br /><br /> We have our 1st family vacation next month and I have NO clothes to wear! I NEVER buy anything online unless I get free shipping, always look for online codes. If you go to google search engine type in whatever store your looking at, example- "american eagle coupons" it will pull up coupons for online shopping and they usually work too, I've found coupons for $20 off $100 just by doing this, I Love it! So, here are a few things I bought! I love Lucky &amp; American Eagle!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S5qbQAJ8oBI/AAAAAAAAB5c/ul9d44TU_gg/s1600-h/LBJ10170_460_2_154x220.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 154px; height: 220px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S5qbQAJ8oBI/AAAAAAAAB5c/ul9d44TU_gg/s320/LBJ10170_460_2_154x220.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447837398479970322" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S5qbP_s5ffI/AAAAAAAAB5U/VVvycfWqjUk/s1600-h/6495_3665_255_f.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 265px; height: 287px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S5qbP_s5ffI/AAAAAAAAB5U/VVvycfWqjUk/s320/6495_3665_255_f.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447837398358130162" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S5qbPijtfKI/AAAAAAAAB5M/uDXztrhhXeU/s1600-h/2370_9954_125_f.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 265px; height: 287px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S5qbPijtfKI/AAAAAAAAB5M/uDXztrhhXeU/s320/2370_9954_125_f.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447837390534966434" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S5qbPJJ4WkI/AAAAAAAAB5E/gNX-YKtpvfI/s1600-h/0417_1159_100_sp.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 198px; height: 198px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S5qbPJJ4WkI/AAAAAAAAB5E/gNX-YKtpvfI/s320/0417_1159_100_sp.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447837383715740226" /></a><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/144/68386E24F26C0439CCC4AD4EA791C83F.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2245538482488966518-7231015001119195034?l=mymommythenanny.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brandynoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2245538482488966518.post-8192629401472308212010-03-11T11:25:00.001-08:002010-04-21T08:14:32.491-07:00I highly recommend a breathable bumper, a lot of moms don't even know about these hidden treasures! I've heard so many conflicting comments about bumpers and SIDS. I was very against getting one but my hubby really wanted the cute sports bumper so I gave in and spent $200 on the set. We used it for 1 month (and for that month Tyler didn't even sleep in his crib.) I'm such a worry wart about SIDS so I took that bumper out and put the breathable bumper in, 8 months later we're still using it!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S5lFSRTCfgI/AAAAAAAAB40/HoXBnB1Rw1M/s1600-h/pTRU1-2786683reg.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 220px; height: 220px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZziO4vK0dLc/S5lFSRTCfgI/AAAAAAAAB40/HoXBnB1Rw1M/s320/pTRU1-2786683reg.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447461404464545282" /></a><br />. <br />They come in different colors too!<br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/144/68386E24F26C0439CCC4AD4EA791C83F.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2245538482488966518-819262940147230821?l=mymommythenanny.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brandynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2245538482488966518.post-78235960319571495572010-03-11T11:17:00.001-08:002010-04-21T08:14:43.237-07:00It's a very sad day for PB, my husband, this photo taken Monday, will probably be the last time BB fits in the baby bjorn.

My son loved it, so I asked my boss where she got it (thinking the dollar store.) She directed me to ebay, so ebay I went and discovered this giraffe cost a whopping $20!! I decided I would pass and just let BB munch on the one at work, well he over munched because I eventually gave in (go figure!) I ended up getting some amazing deal and only paying $10 for it, lets just say it was well worth it!
