Caramel Apple Chaos

I was asked to make caramel apples for my friends wedding. No problem. I knew it was going to be a small wedding and I had made them before. Well their small wedding turned into a 300 guests invited. Not only that.. what was I thinking making caramel apples in middle of July for and outdoor wedding. Needless to say, this was not a fun experience for me. Had they been favors for my wedding I would have thrown them in the trash. Maybe that is why they never made it to the tables. I decided to post pictures anyways!

Oreck Vacuum Giveaway

I have been seriously looking into getting a new vacuum and one of the brands I am looking at is Oreck. I am tired of pet hair and dander. With my little boy on the ground all the time I am even more aware of how gross my carpets are... even after I just vacuum. So when I saw the Oreck Halo Vacuum Giveaway over at Life in a House of Blue I was very excited. I might get lucky and win this awesome vacuum. So head on over and check it out!

Baby Star Giveaway

Kari at Giveaway Addicted Mommy is giving away a fabulous diaper bag from Baby Star. I was able to see this bag and I really would like to win one. It is nicely made and doesn't even look like a diaper bag. So head on over and check it out.

TV Addiction

I have created a monster. My son, only 6 months old is obsessed with TV. I can't believe it. I am not a fan of TV, but I noticed recently that the TV is on all the time and it is hard to get Harrison's attention when he is eating. What have I done? I have only been at this for 6 months and I am officially a bad mommy.

Focus Friday #4

Let's not talk about last week. Still have not made my dentist appointment.

Monday will be my first day back to work. I have been home with my little man for 10 weeks. It has been a wonderful 10 weeks and I am not excited about going back to work. I really thought after 10 weeks I would get bored. Well I was kept myself very busy and enjoyed spending time getting to know my little guy.

So my task for this week is to just survive. I will not freak out and make grandpa nervous. I will be strong. I will miss him so much. I tear up every time I think that I will not be with him all day and be able to comfort him.

I will survive!

Focus Friday #3

Let's just say the week went by extremely quickly!(I'm posting this on Sunday. Where has the time gone?)

I still have not made that dentist appointment. Just so you know... its not just a matter of making a phone call. I am looking for a new dentist and I have to call my insurance company and find a dentist, then make the appointment.

I did stay home as much as I could this week though. I avoided unnecessary trips out and about. I tried to keep Harrison home and on a schedule. What do you know, he didn't seem to want to be on a schedule.

So my task for this week is keep track of Harrison's eating and sleeping. I go back to work in a week and I would like to be able to give Grandma and Grandpa a good idea of when he should be eating and sleeping.

I also have a super long to-do list which I would like to tackle.

Focus Friday #2

I sorta failed...

I did not call and make my husband I dentist appointments. Good thing I didn't because his schedule has changed and he wouldn't be able to go anyways. I will make the appointments first thing next week.

But... I did finish my Mommy Mission Statement and I think it turned out pretty good. Click HERE to ready it.

So my task for this next week is to stay home as much as possible(a difficult task) and work on getting my little boy on a schedule. I only have two weeks left before I go back to work and I would really like to tell Grandma and Grandpa exactly what his schedule is... so I make it...not them.
