5 Months

WHAT an interesting week we had here in Philadelphia we had a earthquake, a Hurricane AND tornadoes I mean it does not get any more exciting/scary { we slept in the basement I dont play around with tornadoes } than that seeing as though NONE of those three things ever happen in the northeast. Sunday Kael turned 5 months old he is getting so so big, rolling over, babbling up a storm I went through his drawers over the weekend and cleaned out all of the items that no longer fit { I only cried twice }, lets just say I have a lot of Fall shopping to do! He is already 18 pounds! We are going to start introducing some solids foods this or next week depending on when the high chair arrives. I can't believe that it is already almost September, the summer went by so so fast fall should be exciting lots of good new TV { Rachel Zoe Project and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills } Halloween { trying think of something adorable for Kael to be } and I have decided that I am going to start cooking more so each Friday I am going to try to have a Food Friday here on my blog with a new interesting recipe that way I know that I am at least making something new once a week we shall see how long this last. I took Kaels 5 month old pictures this morning, he is such a little ham I just love him to pieces.. Hope everyone has a great week!!!

Mean Irene

The Hurricane is coming { I have faith it will not be as bad as they are making it seem }

Lots of people are pissed off including this little guy ..

because this girl Irene has rained on lots of peoples parties ..

im planning on hunkering down with my little family, with our favorite snacks some skinny girl margaritas some good movies { power permitting } and making the most of it , hope everyone stays safe!!

Paradise Bound.

It. Is. Finally. HERE!!! I have been dreaming about this vacation since I was 35 pounds overweight { OK fine maybe 40 } with my ankles swollen still carrying my sweet baby boy { I think I actually thought about it once in labor } Me Jay and Kael { Sadie Mama is staying at the house with Jays family } and my side of the family are heading out of town and renting an incredible house in paradise for a week it is so beautiful its indescribable my description of it won't do it justice so you can just see for yourself here . I could not be any more excited to spend a whole week relaxing listening to the sounds of the ocean.. have a great week everyone!!!

Living The Minivan Dream

So lately I have been really enjoying myself, I even bought this adorable note pad at Home Goods because I thought it summed up exactly how I felt about life at the moment { except I don't drive a minivan }

I've been spending lots of time with this little nugget..

And this weekend we went to the 2nd Street Festival a block up from our house

Are you in there buddy??

There you are !!

And was talked into trying this hot dog from Dapperdog a cool food truck in our neighborhood I NEVER eat like this, not because I don't like it or because it doesn't taste good but more because I was raised in a pretty healthy eating habit household { wheat bread, turkey hot dogs and hamburgers } and it is just not in me to eat this way.. I felt guilt as soon as a finished it..

Then I got home and realized I had gotten this in the mail and took it as a serious sign { not to mention Kael who is breastfeeding had SERIOUS gas for the ENTIRE night it was terrible and I felt terrible for him }

So the next day I went out and bought these two gems..

because it is time for me to start looking more like this post baby..

And maybe even this....
