Miscellany Monday

Once again it's time for Miscellany Monday, always my favorite post of the week, because well..... I'm a pretty random gal! Link up with Carissa too!

1. I had one amazing weekend with my husband. Madison stayed with my mom and step dad and rode on the boat at the lake all day. The girl loves riding on the boat, but she always falls asleep, haha.

2. Eric and I were planning on going to a downtown festival but when I got out of the shower he asked if I wanted to go to Wilmington {the beach} so of course I said okay. We went and toured the North Carolina battleship, it was amazing in so many ways. We stayed their for almost 3 hours. I learned so much and have even more respect for all of our service men and women. I recommend going if you  are ever able, I would not bring any children under 4 because there is so much steep climbing and so many tight and dangerous spaces.

After that we rode around downtown and then went on the search for a seafood restaurant but after riding and riding we ended up eating at On the Border, we can always eat Mexican! yummy!

3. We ended up finding an inexpensive hotel and staying the night after picking up the best coffee we have ever had. It was so relaxing and we slept until 8:30!

4. I have got to organize things around my house. I keep halfway organizing stuff, but in the end I throw junk mail and other randoms in drawers and after about a month of chucking I cant find anything. I really need to setup a good system for mail and papers!

5. Potty training started today for reals!! Madi keeps sleeping through naps and even through the night without wetting her diaper, so it is time. This morning she woke up with a dry diaper and after 15 minutes of sitting on the potty reading books, singing, and playing with rocks from a candle scape in the bathroom she went and almost overflowed her little potty. Well 5 minutes later she comes running out of my room peeing the whole way across the house trying to make it to her potty. I would have never guessed she would have to go more!  So I happily cleaned up a trail of pee! I am so proud of my little Madi bean!

Have a great Monday Everyone!

MIscellany Monday

It's that time again, everyone ready for some more random musings!

 Go link up with Carissa at lowercase letters so we can enjoy yours.

1. Why is that I always run out of every beauty and bath product I use at the same time! Why are they all so darn expensive? I guess I will just do without, except for the shampoo and conditioner, oh and maybe I should "splurge" and get some deodorant, ha, I think my husband would be okay with that.

2. My hubby is comes in from checking the mail on Saturday and tells me not to squeal every time I turn the page of my new mini boden magazine. Go take a look at their too cute autumn/fall clothes!  I love everything!  Be sure to check out  the clothes for you and your man too, they are just as fabulous! I must say the prices are not so fabulous, but hey a girl can dream of having nothing but boden in her closet, right ?!

Here are few of my faves for Madison, love this knit owl dress,  this bold birdie dress is to die for especially with cute tights and a cardigan, and this gray peacoat at to me a very reasonable price of $40 would go with everthing.

3. While typing number 1, I figured out where the poo smell my husband and I have been trying to "smell out" all weekend is coming from. My daughter must have spilled her milk in between 2 couch cushions, lovely.

4. I am addicted to gum, especially orbit sweet mint. Some people have to smoke when they get in their car, I must immediately insert a piece of gum into my mouth. Weird I know, but that would not be the first time I've been called that.

5. Lastly, if I never saw an ant again, it would still be too soon. Every time I think they are out of my kitchen and bathroom I see them again. Madison will now squish them and say "look mommy I squish it" , lets me just say I am not proud of that, but I guess after seeing me killing them time and time again she picked up on it, oh well.

Happy Monday!
