National Park Week

By
So Last week was National Park Week meaning you get into all National Parks for free.  
Please note, this does not mean every park in the nation.  I kind of had an inactive brain as I was co-planning this little outing and tried to get in to a State Park for free.  My bad.  Luckily an ATM wasn't too far away.

ANYWAY, we met up with some of our buddies for a fun day at Rock City with the kiddos.  
We climbed, we hiked, we ate, we talked, and we enjoyed a beautiful day outdoors.  

It was so much fun!

I did make the mistake of letting P lead the way so our little toddler nature walk really did turn into more of a hike but the kids big (us) and small (the kids) did great!
P is such a great climber!  He did this one all by himself!


Cheese!

They crawled through a rock tunnel to get to here.

Best buds in the making.  Fist bump!

Our Little Rock Climbing Family


I thought P would think I was cool for climbing up this wall and into the little cave... wrong.
He got hysterical!  Nap time was long overdue.  I felt bad.  So much for being a cool mom.

We of course brought a delicious picnic lunch which the kids ate as they roamed around.

Bye Bye Friends!  Thanks for a fun day!

What to pack . . .

By
So now that he really could come ANY DAY I figured it was probably time for me to pack my bag. I of course have one of those "What to bring" checklist, but I was wondering what your thoughts where. Is there anything you wish you had brought but didn't? Is there anything you would have died without if you hadn't brought it? I'm just so clueless! A few tips from you experienced mothers would be greatly appreciated!! I cant believe it is so close!!

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk . . .

By
So being an emotional pregnant woman is definitely taking its tole on both me and Jeff (what a wonderful, patient, and understanding man he is). Saturday morning I was so excited because for the first time in weeks we actually had a morning together. I had planned to make us a delicious breakfast just like my dad always did for me. We had Eggs, Hashbrowns, and even Bacon; we were so excited. So I started cooking the bacon first, knowing it would take the longest. Then when I thought they were close to being done, Jeff started cooking the eggs and I threw on the hashbrowns. Well, needless to say, the eggs finished super fast and the others were not even close. And then to add more to my frustration the pan I was using for the hashbrowns was awful! Despite my many tablespoons of butter the entire thing was completely stuck! I switched pans in the middle to try to save them. In the meantime Jeff ate his eggs so they wouldn't get cold. I insisted on waiting so I could eat th...
