Time to RELAX (Small Talk Six)

Time for Small Talk Six! This weeks topic: 6 things you do, use to do, or would like to do to relax

1. I read. I love to read. I read all the time. I was so worried when I had kids that I'd never have time to read. However, since it's one of my favorite things, I MAKE time to read.

2. Cross stitch. This is my new hobby. When I'm stitching, I have to focus on the counting or I lose my place. It makes me forget about all of the stuff that's stressing me out.

3. I would love to be able to take a nice long HOT bubble bath. Unfortunately, we have the absolute WORST tub for that. It's really shallow and not at all comfortable. My dream is to one day have a bathroom with a big garden tub. Or an Infinity Tub. Hey! A girl can dream right?

4. I used to go out to the bars with friends to relax. Maybe someday I can do that again.However, I have a feeling that by the time I'm able to do that, I'll be too old to really enjoy it.

5. I would also love to be able to get a massage at least twice a month. Ahhhhhhhh........that would be fabulous!

6. Shopping relaxes me, for a minute anyway. When I see how much I've spent, I'm not relaxed anymore :(

What do YOU do to relax? Join Small Talk Six and tell me! Go check out the ladies at MomDot and see what they to to relax. Happy Saturday!

I thought bath time was suppose to be fun?

Brinna's umbilical cord finally fell off, so we were able to give her her first bath at home. It was not well received.








Little does she know, she's getting another one today.

Beyond Lazy

This weeks Small Talk Six topic is "6 things people do that you think are beyond lazy"

1. Not putting the clothes in the hamper after shower/bath. The hamper sits literally right outside the bathroom door. I don't understand what it SO hard about tossing the clothes in when you leave the bathroom.

2. Leaving dirty dishes sit in the living room. I admit, I'm guilty of this on occasion, but my husband is the biggest offender. I love waking up and seeing dirty milk glasses or cereal bowls.

3. Not putting your cart away at the store. It's so frustrating! There are cart corrals ALL over the place! Walk the extra 10 steps and put the darn thing away!

4. Not helping to bag your own groceries when the store is busy and obviously short handed, and then demanding that someone help you out with your groceries. I saw a woman do this at Kroger. The store was way busier than they had anticipated, so they were short on baggers. I would guess the woman was about my age and she made the elderly cashier bag and load all of her groceries. Then she had the nerve to demand that someone help her out to her car.

5. Only buttoning the top and bottom buttons on your pants. Ben does this all the time. He says it's because it's too much work to button the ones in the middle. I swear, it's true!

6. Driving around the parking lot for ages, just to find a closer spot. I see people doing this all the time. It makes me crazy! And to go along with that, when people follow you when you're walking to your car. I get all paranoid that they're trying to kidnap my kids or something. I can sort of understand if the parking lot is totally full, but otherwise, just go park your car! Chances are, you could use the exercise anyway.

Oh No Mommy!!!!

I was nursing Brinna this morning, like I do about 100x a day, and Adelae crawled up next to me, like she does 100x a day, no big deal right? Well, this morning Adelae starts FREAKING out. She's crying and saying "Oh no Mommy! Oh no Mommy!" over and over again. I finally get her settled down and get her to tell me what's wrong. She says "Mommy! Brinna's gonna eat your boob all gone!" HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! I explained to her that Brinna was most definitely NOT going to eat Mommy's boob all gone and that she was drinking the milk inside Mommy's boob. That seemed to set Adelae at ease. It was pretty funny though. :)

Can you tell?

Can you tell which girl is which? My girls look almost exactly the same!

I'm skipping Small Talk Six

Instead of doing Small Talk Six, I'm going to post lots of fun videos!

I told you she cried the whole time we were in the operating room! Listen to those lungs!


I thought he was taking pictures, but I'm glad Ben got this on video!


Everyone asks if Adelae is a good big sister. I think this proves, with out a doubt, that she is! (And she's also American Idol bound.;) )


There are a few more videos on my YouTube Channel, and I imagine there will be lots more to come.
