Hiya friends!! So here it is, Tuesday again!!! We had a busy morning running errands and getting things done and although I SHOULD be picking up the mess that is my upstairs, I would much rather be blogging! The house is beyond quiet and it is cloudy out…all is well in my little world for the moment!
Ready for a little bit of randomness for this edition of Ten on Tuesday?
1. I bought some Pantene Nature Fusion Moisture Balance shampoo and conditioner at Target over the weekend. The stuff smells AH-MA-ZING!! Seriously, I could quite possibly be talked into standing around in the shower all day just to smell that yumminess!
2. We took the kids to see Up on Saturday afternoon. Has anyone seen it? What are your thoughts? I really didn’t like it. I mean, I didn’t hate it, but it was just so serious and deep for a kids movie. My kids are young enough that they didn’t understand all the serious stuff, but instead of being happy, I was actually kinda sad. Weird. Despite the story line, we had a really fun time! I took Huntler to the theater when I was super pregnant with Gentry, but we haven’t taken the kids since then! Gentry was totally overwhelmed and almost scared at the beginning, but after awhile she settled in and started munching on some popcorn and sucking down Sprite! Huntler smiled and smiled and smiled at the beginning…LOVING the experience. And then it got loud and there were some kinda scary parts and he ended up in tears. But, we still had a really fun time and despite the tears and initial hesitations, so did the kiddos!
3. We have a ton of candy in our pantry for Gentry’s party. I haven’t even been so much as tempted to bother it…until today. I bought a ginormous bag of Tootsie Rolls at Wal Mart this morning and can’t stay out of them! Knowing how much I love them, I should have known better and waited until the day before the party!!
4. I was doing my normal thing this morning and checking all the blogs that had been updated on my RSS feed and guess what I found? My party post from yesterday was featured on the Polka Dot Birthday blog! {Here is the direct link!} And waiting in my inbox was a message from Toni at Design Dazzle asking if she could blog about it! She too put together a sweet post…here is the link! If you girls are reading, thanks for sharing!! You are too kind!
5. Keeping in line with all things party, the fabulous designer of my super cute blog added a new category for me yesterday, Party Shoppe. As I add the upcoming party posts and other random party bits, I’ll be sticking them in that category to keep everything organized!
6. Huntler is sitting on my lap. He got his hair cut this morning. Can I just tell you that I LOVE to rub my hands on his super short, freshly cut head of hair?
7. Gentry had a COLOSSAL meltdown at nap time today. She hates napping anymore, but I don’t know if I can make it through the summer days without a break. The kids just fight constantly and the break is pretty much a necessity for me to make it through the slow moving afternoon hours. However, BOTH kids were up until after 10:00 last night…after both having good naps yesterday. So, seems to me that our summer hours are going to be a bit crazy!
8. For all you owl lovers out there, I noticed that Michael’s had some goodies in their dollar bins today. I didn’t buy any of it and didn’t really look that closely, but it was there!
9. I am still on my work out kick! I feel like my day can’t get started unless I log some time on my elliptical! I HATED it at first and while I don’t LOVE it now, I don’t mind it. It is such a great stress relief and I feel SO great once I accomplish my daily goal! It doesn’t hurt that I have lost 12 pounds either! {Although those tootsie rolls aren’t going to help with that…I’ll just have to exercise some self control and eat ‘em in moderation!}
10. I HOPE to get that giveaway I mentioned a few weeks ago ready to go this week or weekend! It is going to be so fun…I just need the time to get my goodies and myself all together! I would really like to figure out how to add more hours into my day, so if you figure it out, let me know!
And that means I need to get off of here and get to work on all these random messes! Hope your week is going great!

12 pounds girl? Craziness…where could you possibly have been hiding 12 pounds to shed?
And tootsie rolls…my biggest weakness. I can not buy a bag or I will eat them all in one day!
I haven’t seen “Up” yet but have heard the same response from other parents. I think we may pass. The kids LOVE the movies too but they cried in the beginning of Madagascar 2 so maybe this one would be worse??
I am soooooooooooooo jealous of your workouts….you go girrl! AND, of course you were featured on other blogs…hellooooo, you are only the BEST party planner EVER!!!
I am SOOO tempted to head to Wal-Mart and pick up some of that shampoo…right now! I am almost done with the bottle in the shower, so I just might have to! I can’t remember who else it was telling me about the movie “Up,” but they said the same thing. It was WAY over the kids’ heads.
Congrats on getting your party post featured! You need to throw an adult bash sometime…outdoor dinner party or something where you can get creative with a ‘mature’ theme. I’d love to see some of your ideas
Have a great day!
I’m with Rachel where in the world were you hiding those 12 lbs! We took Gaby to see Up too and we thought the same thing but all she remembers now is Kevin and the dogs LOL! Your parties are so Over the Top, Creative and just plain fun! It’s no surprise you were featured on other blogs! Conrgratulations!
