I didn’t forget about you....

... but I gave run into some serious hiccups when it comes to getting ANY blogging done. So let’s start with the MOST important one, shall we?

We have 3 laptops in our house. ZERO of them are in working condition. Let me elaborate. My toshiba that I have had for 6years doesn’t hold a battery charge. And the charging cord doesn’t stay in when I plug it in. The keyboard works when it wants to. Legitimately doesn’t work all the time some letters work, some don’t. So it was doing it’s thing updating and we all know windows products are like “do not turn off while updating”  and I try my damndest not too because there are too many precious pictures on there to lose. Of course as fate would have it, the damn computer was updating and the table got bumped out comes the cord, remember it doesn’t stay in when plugged in, nor does it hold a charge. 2 guesses what happened.... yep it turned off. I have not been able to back it up to the last save SINCE THAT HAPPENED! My wedding pictures, my Magoo pictures from when he was a teeny tiny baby... gone. I can not get them! I have tried everything I can think of. Send me your tips and tricks for that because I just want my pictures back. I don’t care about the documents. I just want the pics.

So laptop #2 is a OLD HP like over windows 7 or windows XP years old... it has NO Internet connection, also battery doesn’t hold a charge. But with an external WiFi connector modem thing it gets WiFi AND the keyboard works. So guys. Ca you guess what happened to that one. Remember windows likes to take a million years to update, also holds no charge and “do not turn off while updating” ,  I’ll give you one guess. Yep it got unplugged or something while updating and now it won’t turn on. The limited pictures on there are now gone.

Laptop #3 is Brets, doesn’t hold a charge. Do we sense a pattern here? But works, it’s brets he claims it doesn’t. It’s not worth the argument of me trying to see if it does clearly I have terrible luck with laptops. So I’m not even gonna look at it. Plus I don’t think he knows where it is.

So here you have it. I have not forgotten about you. I have 2 month updates to get out to you, I have Christmas recipes. I have a  photo shoot post to make. But I have to do it all on my phone. Which let’s be honest. Not the best but it’s all I have.

Please bear with me. I’m trying!

Until next time,

Mommy Monday...

.... Makeup edition....or relearning how to wear makeup again edition.

However you want to look at it I havent been consistant with wearing makeup for at least 4 years. I used to HAVE to wear it.

Now I dont have to. But I want too. Here lies the problem. I swear anything I knew about makeup has been replaced with nursery rhymes and kids songs.

So now I find myself trying to figure out how to wear makeup that doesn't feel like im wearing makeup AND something that I can do in the car in 10 minutes before i take Chipmunk in.

So last night at 1030 pm I found myself watching youtube tutorials trying to figure out how to wear makeup without "looking like" i am. I guess thats the natural look... Here is what im finding eyebrows are inportant. Who knew? Oh and also NOT putting eyeliner in your water line makes you look more awake and open.

So then I tried makeup. I used highlighters and concealer and foundation. It was not a good look for me. After I wiped it off Bret looked at me and said "oh theres my wife. That was too much. You looked fake" So then i decided to go back to basics and use what i know. I got out my Bare Minerals. Girl... swirl, tap, and buff that stuff right on there. SPF built right into it and it LITERALLY takes 5 mins to do.

www.bareminerals.com

I am not getting paid to tell you any of this(ALTHOUGH...I am open to that.. Bare minerals help a sister out 😉)

I packed my makeup bag(😂 listen to me) and put it in my work bag. To get ready for this morning. Did our normal mad dash around the house before dropping Bret off. Then we headed to chipmunks school. I got out my makeup. Swirl, tap, buff... And eyebrows and boom we were done. I thought I looked like this.

But this is what we actually looked like.

I felt self conscious all day. The beautiful thing about Bare Minerals is that you dont even feel like you're wearing makeup. By the end of the day i felt a little more confident. You know what. I think I'll do it again tomorrow!

If youre like me and want something easy, and light with an SPF look into Bare Minerals. If you arent sure if your shade go get color matched. It is so worth it! Also if you have any tips on easy makeup looks let me know. Im always open to learning new things... Next we tackle the rats nest to make it look presentable, and ditch the ponytail/mombun.

Until next time....

Game Changer...

... I recently started branching out on my Instagram and following companies and boutiques that are geared towards kids because that's what my ENTIRE day revolves around, My kids.

So as I was mass following all the bow botiques and trying to find ones that had stuff for Magoo and Chipmunk I came across the brand Caboosee (www.caboosee.com). If you haven't heard of them you NEED to look them up. We message back and forth and I HAD to try the 24/7 suit. Here is why... It stops the sniff detection AND the stick you finder in the diaper and pray to god you don't come out with a poop filled nail.

I mean do you see why I was excited to try it.

Here's the next thing that I LOVED about it once I got it, it was one of the softest things I have held in a long time. you can never been to sure when ordering online how something will feel. I just kept rubbing it on my face saying how soft it was. No im not kidding, yes I am aware how it looked. So here I have size 3-6 months. I ordered it a little bigger because we have a fluff butt. So I accommodate for our cloth diapers.  Let me tell you, these fit over Cloth diapers so well. I LOVE IT! have I said that enough?

I even challenged Bret to see how easy it was to check her diaper. Was he happy I took photographic evidence? Nope, did I do it anyway? Yep I sure did...

And here it is on Chipmunk, She was asleep and not happy that I was moving her around. She was fussy that night and when I put this outfit on her she settled down and fell asleep. It had to be that comfortable for her.

 

There are is 1 other style in 2 colors. They are long pants with fold over feet to make Jammies. I mean come on have you heard of anything more brilliant?! I cant wait to order them too. I said to Bret "cards on the table, we are ordering the long pants too" I can not say enough good things about them. Even the shipping time was EXTREAMLY reasonable it took 4 days for us to get the onesie. Trust me when I tell you its worth checking out!
