I don't know if it's because I'm a mom now, or because we are finally settling into our home, but I am LOVING crafts! Pinterest has about a million DIY projects that are on my 'to do one day very soon' list. I saw this on Pinterest a few months ago and have been wanting to make this with Baby M ever since. It wasn't too difficult as long as he was kept busy with a cookie :)</div>

All you need is an Embossing Ink Pad, Embossing Glitter, Heat {I used a heat gun...40% off at Michael's!}, Glass Ornaments. I also found letter stickers in the 'make-your-own-ornaments- aisle at Michael's.</div>

This is the very first Christmas that we are spending in our home. I didn't even decorate the last three years, because we were in the middle of moving or in the middle of remodeling our house. Well this year is different. :) We bought our first Christmas tree together and decorated it last night when Baby M was asleep. We also have a fireplace in our living room so I am attempting to make our Christmas stockings this year. They aren't done yet, but I'm hoping to post a picture by the end of the week. In the mean time, I've been searching for cute stocking holders to put on our mantel. I didn't find any I really liked and the ones that were just OK were at least $10 each! I have other things I'd rather spend $40 on right on. So today I made our stocking holders! And it only cost me $15 for all four of them! </div>

trying to soak up as much info as possible<br />
When I came across something that made me cry...<br />
(I cant for the life of me find the blog again boo on me...)<br />
The title was "I AM BEAUTIFUL"<br />
She said that most likely you are the main picture taker in your family<br />
(totally me)<br />
and you always tell people that you don't want your picture taken<br />
because you feel fat/ugly/in your PJs at 2 pm<br />
(SOOOOO me my coined phrase "I am the one behind the camera not in front of it...")<br />
Then she asked when your kids are looking back at photos of their life<br />
WHERE ARE YOU??<br />
and I cried<br />
Why? I'm in MAYBE 50 pictures with babygirl<br />
because I feel fat/ugly/in my pjs<br />
Is she going to be sad that she cant see what I looked like?<br />
She isn't going to think I'm fat, or I'm ugly or even care that I'm in my pj's at 2pm<br />
I am going to be sad that I didn't take pictures of "us girls"<br />
When we are cuddling on the couch... all day... in our Pjs watching Gnomeo and Juilet<br />
I havent gotten a picture of our wild hair in the mornings<br />
(because our hair gets CRAZY when we sleep)<br />
I haven't taken our picture when we are having our daily dance party<br />
I look at babygirl and I see that shes SO BIG<br />
and soon she's not going to want me in the pictures...<br />
I need to fix this...<br />
I am going to change my attitude about ME<br />
I AM BEAUTIFUL<br />
and I need to remember that and step IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA <br />

Everyone loves cake pops! They recently made their debut last year and now they are popping up in Starbucks, birthday parties, baby showers....basically everywhere.

Well I could probably squeeze it in, but there are a million other things I'd rather do than clean up a kitchen after baking a cake. So here is a Cake Pops for Dummies tutorial. Super easy, super affordable and SUPER DELICIOUS!!</div>

Melt the chocolate/candy melts {30 seconds at a time in the microwave}. Add a teaspoon of Crisco when it's melted and stir well. Take a cookie stick and poke a hole in the donut. Dip the stick in the chocolate then put it in the donut. Put the donuts in the fridge for 5-10 minutes so that the chocolate can harden, this will ensure that the stick will stay in the donut.</div>

Reheat the chocolate. Dip each donut in the chocolate, shake the stick a little so the excess chocolate drips off the donut.</div>

Recently I have been trying to figure out what I like</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I never really had a style per say </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I am slowly figuring out what I like</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's actually a lot harder that you would think </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love headbands </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I am to chicken to wear them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stupid right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, I have been trying to branch out more </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I bought 2 headbands from <a href="http://www.justloveshop.com/" target="_blank">{JustLovelyThings}</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they are BEAUTIFUL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I actually wore it tonight and felt </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Beautiful as well :) </div>

you see we said all along that we would start trying around Babygirls 2nd birthday...<br />
Well thats next month HA<br />
SO its like NOW<br />
I'm ready... Kinda upset that I didn't lose as much <a href="http://simplyunorganized.blogspot.com/2011/06/my-worst-nightmare.html" target="_blank">weight </a>as I wanted to.<br />
but I don't know if Baby girl is...<br />
She's pretty good at sharing things...<br />
her <a href="http://simplyunorganized.blogspot.com/2011/11/my-sister-aka-wonderwoman.html" target="_blank">cousins K1-K6</a> are around a lot<br />
and she does great with them.<br />
(one major reason is they are amazing with her)<br />
but when she's in a bigger group she tends to go hang out by herself<br />
which is pretty common for an only child right?<br />
But shes not so good at sharing me.<br />
I went to drop off some pictures to a client<br />
and I was playing with their incredibly adorable lil boy<br />
Baby girl was a little unsure and wanted me to pick her up<br />
I told her no and continued playing with him<br />
She was fine but it got me thinking.<br />
What is she going to be like with a baby<br />
Shes a little mommy for sure<br />
whenever she sees or hears a baby she wants to go see<br />
We ask her if she wants a baby but shes just a little to young to understand what we mean.<br />
So I guess friends when do you think is a good time? what are your kids ages?<br />
and in a PERFECT world what would be the age difference of your kiddos?<br />
<br />

I LOVE MY FAMILY. I'm not just talking about my immediate family but my entire crazy lovable extended family. We are always there for each other, always supportive, and truthfully my cousins are more like my brothers and sisters. I really think that when it comes down to it we are each others best friends. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have a cousin that was deployed to Afghanistan 5 months ago. I had been meaning to send her a care package for months. It's a sorry excuse, but life kept getting in the way or we just didn't have any extra money. Well, I felt TERRIBLE when she surprised me with a flower delivery when I came down with the flu two months ago. How sweet is that? She's all the way around the world, in a war zone, and she's sending ME flowers??? That got my butt in gear! My parents and I put together a box of shampoo, snacks, lotion and Halloween trick or treat bags. We were able to stuff 5 extra trick or treat bags in there so that she could give it to a few of her friends. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The trick or treat bags got us thinking. Wouldn't it be awesome to send her and her fellow troops a care package for Christmas too? Luckily she is based at an Airfield and has a "desk job" at the Stability Operations Office. This office serves as a liaison between the military and civilian operations. I emailed her and asked her how many troops she works with and their names. I also sent out an email to family here in the states to see if they would also like to contribute to this project. The response was overwhelming!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A cousin in Colorado sent a check to help with shipping. An aunt and uncle bought 33 bibles. My parents went to Costco for snacks. My brother is making 33 DVD's of Christmas movies. A cousin in Arizona is also sending a check. Another aunt is going to Costco for stocking stuffers....I could go on and on. And yes, as you just read we are sending them Christmas stockings! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bought stockings the other night and wrote their names on it. We are all getting together for our "Thanksgiving before Thanksgiving" dinner in two weeks (Thanksgiving is split between CA & AZ so it's really 2 days for our family). After dinner we will stuff the stockings as a family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Still trying to stay afloat and be postive.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's been really hard lately. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Peoples words keep swirling in my head. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ya know those words some people say... </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That make scratch when they say it...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and as time goes on..</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
it grows in to a gaping sore </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
No matter how much you think its not true.. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's still only in the back of your head..</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You see, I'm a photographer. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have loved Photography since I was little</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I remember my parents giving me their old canon. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
no auto focus.. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
no zoom..</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I LOVED that thing...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I wanted to go to school for it..</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
but decided a more stable major would be best...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now I have the support of my amazing husband I started </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.simplelovephoto.com/" target="_blank">Simple Love Photography</a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm not trying to get rich</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm not saying I'm amazing. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But I try my hardest..</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I work my butt off...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I love what I do.... </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But there's this one comment from someone...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
a friend</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
that I cant get out of my head.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She said that my pictures look</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Like anyone can do them" </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I don't know why it bothers me so much..</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But I cant get it out of my head....</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I keep going back and forth... </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
am I really not good?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Do my pictures really look like <i>anyone </i>can do it </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm all for constructive criticism but is that really constructive and am I being overly sensitive??</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I hate that my posts lately have been so negative... </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm sorry... I kinda feel like this is my only outlet....<br />
</div>

It's been one of THOSE days today. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Babygirl, for some really odd reason, decided NO nap... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has NEVER done this in her entire life...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on top of it..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has a runny nose</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and only wants me to hold her...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I, on the other hand, am EXHAUSTED</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been trying to stay active.. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Running and such </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
since I'm not on medication for my thyroid </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I think my body might be a bit upset with me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have lost my patience a few times</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and locked myself in the bathroom a few times</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(any other moms out there do that????) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been trying to get stuff for her birthday party</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and 2 photo shoots this weekend</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wish I had a girlfriend out this way </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that had a baby that we can stick in a room to play</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and drink a cup of coffee (or vodka tonic whateves lol) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I shouldn't complain</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the first frustrating day with Baby girl ever</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She's normally sooo good</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think its more my fault today than hers..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
IS IT BED TIME YET??????</div>

I know I have mentioned my sister a few times</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She's freakin AMAAAZING</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me just tell you a bit about her..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuek1VlwKnlLcazAgqQrUZ-CGp3ii-_vsuzu2hA619r7eGDrzc6Ool2YsTsyeisu0rVlOYfjB28vqZAv75A5yxQ4eIMYvSNuyGb5KJrlXUFHL-8GdbeTQkuaA4tGRTSOFlERJYrloKgQA/s1600/april162011+066.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuek1VlwKnlLcazAgqQrUZ-CGp3ii-_vsuzu2hA619r7eGDrzc6Ool2YsTsyeisu0rVlOYfjB28vqZAv75A5yxQ4eIMYvSNuyGb5KJrlXUFHL-8GdbeTQkuaA4tGRTSOFlERJYrloKgQA/s320/april162011+066.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
She's 5 years older than me<br />
She's my best friend </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is married to one of the best guys out there</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they are hilarious together<br />
they still don't fart in front of each other!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They have 6 kids, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
YES you read that right 6 KIDS!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Crazy ya... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now when you think someone has 6 kids you think</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
crazy, naughty, obnoxious rugrats...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But seriously, these are the best most WELL behaved kids you will EVER meet<br />
I would GLADLY take all 6 any day </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Their names all start with a K</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We often refer to them as K1..K2..K3 and so on</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I adore each and every one of these kids </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyVN0z_Z2wjhEbMIuAqZTzaD8X4TXufHmEUEJejR26EsBeTQO1MSfBcrADIW_vBgmYGTEJdlfin1CzC12wKfEQzZtqO3WlTvXy_tosy_64I4aWklhD4VqiCxCvdBc-tywSJlI7V40XUTM/s1600/shalayna1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyVN0z_Z2wjhEbMIuAqZTzaD8X4TXufHmEUEJejR26EsBeTQO1MSfBcrADIW_vBgmYGTEJdlfin1CzC12wKfEQzZtqO3WlTvXy_tosy_64I4aWklhD4VqiCxCvdBc-tywSJlI7V40XUTM/s320/shalayna1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So Keep in mind that she has 6 kids...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She ALSO has 2 businesses!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She does nails out of her house. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She does all different kinds of pretty nails.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they are bomb<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Yes those are my hands :)<br />
So if you live in AZ you need to call her!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other business (and the reason for this post) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is she makes BEAUTIFUL Custom Jewelry</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She so perfectly named it "<a href="https://www.facebook.com/sixdesigns" target="_blank">Six designs</a>" (get six kids lol) </div>

Now that Halloween is over....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the holidays are HERE!! YAAAAY</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Usually my AMAZING older sister takes on the Holidays</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She always had the bigger house</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and she knows how to do these things...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well this year, they had to move to a small condo while they look for a house to buy...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which leaves me having the only house big enough to fit everyone...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this year I am hosting the following.... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanksgiving</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our Cousins Annual Christmas party </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
babygirls 2nd birthday party</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
AND </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Christmas x2</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(once on Christmas Day for Mr. N's family and the following weekend for mine)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm a little worried that I will either completely lose my hair</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or sleep up until January 1st (unlike most people when I get stressed I sleep LOL) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and through all of this I have photo shoots almost EVERY weekend!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even thought it should be COMPLETELY insane</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am sooo excited! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love having people over</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have an amazing family! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And Babygirl is at that age where shes going to have fun! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
LOVE this time of year!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you hosting any of the Holidays?? Any tips for a newbie :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Why can't witches have babies??</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because they have halloweenies.. hehe</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I was little I used to make my mom dress me up in a batgirl costume </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(not on halloween.. just random days)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and NOBODY knew it was me.. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was Batgirl....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

I'm sorry. It has been months since my last post on here...MONTHS. Mostly it's been because I haven't felt any inspiration. It also has to do with the fact that baby M is becoming quite a handful, it's a fun and adventurous handful, but a handful none the less. I can't really put much blame on baby M though, I've put a ton of projects on my plate as well;<br /><br /><strong>Photography:</strong> I'm slowly trying to build up my photography business. It's a slow process, mostly because it's hard to find the time! I LOVE it and I've already had requests to do a few Christmas photo sessions, which I'm stoked about! But finding a location for these Christmas photos is one more thing on my to-do list.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0pOH6cna8-P0nlMJxjmfF2rt3b2bgAPRV6hMV0TGlb2kI1F8KVTvbZ9GzfSIV75sY6s_KYUATnbpIjAcHTSOT9v5-phV0e-meYmxoqzBXxA_gfYhBq0RDBV6vBRQyfkoeksFNOz_9Mkk/s1600/pic.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 213px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668406416142810770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0pOH6cna8-P0nlMJxjmfF2rt3b2bgAPRV6hMV0TGlb2kI1F8KVTvbZ9GzfSIV75sY6s_KYUATnbpIjAcHTSOT9v5-phV0e-meYmxoqzBXxA_gfYhBq0RDBV6vBRQyfkoeksFNOz_9Mkk/s400/pic.jpg" /></a><br /><strong>Snuggle Me Wraps:</strong> One of my best friends and I decided that we'd start making baby wraps to sell.

BUT I love my life and I shouldn't complain. I only wish for more energy and a few more hours each day. Is that too much to ask for?<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="border: 0px currentColor;" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54489/173/FAD95462EC99EEA9679CCCA93038ECB9.png" /></a></div></div></div></div>Simply {Un} Organizedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05541300980790399022noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454440529747994482.post-69951014606516328232011-10-27T08:13:00.001-07:002011-11-01T08:35:59.758-07:00The Little Green Monster..So recently I have been kinda down.<br />
I know its related to my <a href="http://simplyunorganized.blogspot.com/2011/06/my-worst-nightmare.html">Hypothyroidism</a> <br />
I'm off the medication right now,<br />
and getting tested to get back on it...<br />
Which means I have gained weight despite my best efforts..<br />
(8 lbs to be exact)<br />
and its really taking its toll on me.<br />
I don't have energy to run but I started running again last night<br />
my skin is so dry its painful (and I put lotion on multiple times a day!)<br />
I'm an emotional wreck lol<br />
just to name a few things..<br />
so because I'm feeling bad all around<br />
I (assuming most people do this) start comparing my life to others.<br />
To the single girls that doesnt work but somehow gets everything she wants<br />
To the other families that buys a new car whenever they get bored of the current one<br />
Or the families that go out to eat EVERY NIGHT...<br />
The mommies that seem like they are doing better than me raising their babes.. <br />
(and of course I'm reading all this on Facebook LOL)<br />
The couples that look like life is PERFECT <br />
Then it kinda hit me last night...<br />
Everyone only puts the good on Facebook (heck I do too!)<br />
and I know that, that girl that gets everything is also really lonely<br />
and the families that buys the cars and eat out everynight, both parents work<br />
leaving someone else to raise their child...<br />
the mommies that seem like they are doing better... they have their off days too..<br />
and the couples... we all know that perfect couples don't exist.<br />
So why do I compare?<br />
I have an AMAZING relationship with Mr. N... we really don't ever fight. We have our issues yes but we talk instead of blowing up at each other (more Mr. N's doing than mine lmao) <br />
Mr. N has an awesome job that lets me stay at home with baby girl.<br />
I do a lot with baby girl too. I think I am doing the best job I can possibly do<br />
We laugh, we play, we snuggle, we learn new things. I try my hardest to be the best momma possible.<br />
We might not have the extra cash to go out to eat every night, or to buy the newest car <br />
I have a pretty AMAZING life... So go away green monster... I'm not going to COMPARE my life to anyone else's anymore. "Comparison is the thief of Joy" - Anonymous.. I need to remember that..<br />

I know they wanted me to come in full time<br />
meaning I would have to leave baby girl in day care.<br />
I can do it.....<br />
so they let me go.<br />
I knew that it was coming.<br />
I'm not mad at them at all. I totally understand.<br />
I'm sad because now I feel like I'm not bringing any income <br />
but with Mr. N's new job I don't need to work.<br />
It was just helping out pay off our debt. <br />
So now its back to a tight budget and no eating out.<br />
<br />
However, I am very very excited as well.<br />
I am going to start <a href="http://www.oopseydaisyblog.com/mommy-school">"Mommy School"</a> with baby girl <br />
I can't wait! She's almost 2 (dec 10 to be exact)<br />
<br />
I can't wait to actually decorate my house<br />
we have been in the house for 2 months and not much has been done<br />
<br />
I'm excited to do crafts.<br />
Morning and night have been dedicated to work and the days have been to baby girl<br />
I can't wait to start crafting again!!<br />
<br />
I'm excited to focus on my Photography.<br />
I have clients almost every weekend and a ton of awesome opportunities coming up.<br />
<br />
Good things are coming our way... I can feel it :)<br />

At the time I was going through a break up from a relationship that wasn't healthy AT ALL and he was in an even WORSE relationship. We both thought each other was hubbahubba however, we both knew the other was unavailable. :(<br />Skip ahead to February 15th Mr N. came over early in the morning to go running with my brother and I was sitting on the couch (slighty hungover from a "singles valentines night out" HA) and he asked me how my Valentines day was.( I was confused as to why he was talking to me.. here's this HUBBAHUBBA guy and then there's me.. pretty sure I have makeup SMEARED across my face and I was a lovely shade of green from being sick. ) All I could muster out was "it sucked" and his response "ya mine too, we should have spent it together...." WHAT??? did I hear that right?? There was NO way he was hitting on me... He had a girl friend... Right?????<br /><br />a few weeks later My brother had a party. I came home from work and he's there. (again I looked like utter crap long day bartending and I smelled like steak) and he said Hi we flirted, I kissed his cheek, wrestled a bit before my brother realized something was happening and came over and put a stop to it. (By this time he had broken up with his horrid girlfriend)<br /><br />March 27th 2008. I had some girlfriends over at my new place and my brother had his friends Ryan and Mr. N over. We decided to merge the two parties and met at a local bar. Mr. N and I were inseparable that night and for every day and night after that.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE986igHy3_2hJFzN03NZa8HaDtqvYv3nqRQ9aO1G-pDkxWIAoZzWonkE4OuN0-BtUndUECxjlrW1ClnDYJw4zwVXHX4WnVuHDxbQAalMSr-Xsj15a8zifkFxuI52Aalo-6tVLF8XN_Fo/s1600/iowa+035.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 168px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE986igHy3_2hJFzN03NZa8HaDtqvYv3nqRQ9aO1G-pDkxWIAoZzWonkE4OuN0-BtUndUECxjlrW1ClnDYJw4zwVXHX4WnVuHDxbQAalMSr-Xsj15a8zifkFxuI52Aalo-6tVLF8XN_Fo/s400/iowa+035.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658666077680939282" border="0" /></a>Fast forward to April 9th, 2009 We found out we were pregnant in the bathroom of Pita Jungle.

I WANT to share the Goofy things babygirl does.<br />The stories of my little family.... but I'm imitated...scared... and embarrassed...<br /><br />Stupid right? I want to write more.

I was even able to make them sugar free! Well, almost. I was naughty and replaced the raisins with chocolate chips, but next time I will make them the healthier way. The oats, flaxseed, almonds and yeast are supposed help increase milk supply. I literally just made these 30 minutes ago, so I will update this post in a few days to let you know if they helped increase my supply or not.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuFSIPyTKOyn4RT-l_pwkZLHUxMA17xbyBVD8qwTYpQnG8VfrON2A9zXPOsBUZCnZpfT-bnJb7JOh73fO7A_R13TnEVE96Z0YDPXEJFfjlncFPEPkCtzutUA-TKkS3kw_RdJvOnAliqyQ/s1600/IMG_9738.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633902554548464082" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuFSIPyTKOyn4RT-l_pwkZLHUxMA17xbyBVD8qwTYpQnG8VfrON2A9zXPOsBUZCnZpfT-bnJb7JOh73fO7A_R13TnEVE96Z0YDPXEJFfjlncFPEPkCtzutUA-TKkS3kw_RdJvOnAliqyQ/s400/IMG_9738.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Ingredients:</span></strong><br />1 cup butter</div><br /><div>2 cups unsweetened applesauce</div><br /><div>4 tbsp water</div><br /><div>2 tbsp flaxseed meal</div><br /><div>2 large eggs</div><br /><div>1 tsp vanilla</div><br /><div>2 cups flour</div><br /><div>1 tsp stevia extract</div><br /><div>1 tsp baking soda</div><br /><div>1 tsp salt</div><br /><div>3 cups oats</div><br /><div>1 cup raisins (or chocolate chips!)</div><br /><div>1/2 cup slivered almonds</div><br /><div>2 tbsp brewer's yeast</div><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Directions:</span></strong></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>1.
