Fall Flirty Essentials

Image
Dear blog, it's that time of year where I can wear cozy sweaters and sit on my couch to enjoy a hot cup of coffee. I recently gave birth to my daughter, if you want to know more about that experience click here . I haven't always felt comfortable in my own skin, especially after giving birth to two children. Also, I'm all about that pumpkin scent during the fall season. This fall season I'm loving the Pumpkin Cupcake scent from Bath and Body Works . Its the perfect fall scent, if you haven't checked it out I recommend that you do! I've always had large boobs and have always struggled finding the perfect bra for me. For example, I hate when my bra straps slide down, but thankfully I have found one that works great. After I gave birth, I was needing to find the perfect bra because the ones I had would not fit. The nearest place I had was Dillards and there I found the perfect bra that I feel comfortable in. As a mom of two I don't always feel sexy, but wit...

Products I have Used Up!!

Dear blog, I have another empties post. If you don't know what this type of post is about, I will explain. These are the products that I have used up recently and I write a short review. I hope you enjoy this post, so let's jump right in. For body washes I love the one's from Bath and Body Works. I have a huge stock of body washes. I have actually banned myself from buying anymore until I absolutely need to have more. This has not been very easy to do since the FALL scents are out, and I love the FALL scents! So far I haven't caved in, but fall just began; so there is no telling what is going to happen. Okay, back to the post. I enjoyed the smell of the Honolulu Sun, it reminds me of summer and it has a hint of coconut and I love the coconut scent on body products. So this products get a thumbs up. I love this Hollister Malibu Beach body spray. It's a great summer scent. Every time I wore it I felt like I was walking at the beach. I can't find it o...

Victoria Secret Sport

Dear blog, I recently made a trip to the mall without the kids. I was able to walk into stores and actually look around instead of chasing a toddler around the store telling him not to touch anything and pushing a stroller around. I'm not saying this because it bothers me to go out with my children, because it doesn't, I love going out with my children. Anyway, my husband and I got some breakfast at Starbucks in Barnes & Noble. Funny story, I originally wanted to eat breakfast at one of my favorite places, Cracker Barrel. But I changed my mind because the famous fall drink is out PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE. Well to my surprise when I make my order they tell me they won't get the drink until Tuesday. Tuesday can you believe that??? I was devastated:(. I wanted to leave and not order anything but I was too hungry. Back to the original focus of this post and that is Victoria Secret sports wear . I own several of their sports attire from previous years and they are great qualit...

Books I want to read!

Image
Dear blog, I have written several posts about books that I would like to read or have read in the past and have enjoyed. I love to read, it's one of my favorite hobby. I find it relaxing! I love the places that the different stories take me and the things I get to learn from them. If you don't like reading don't give up on it. It's a great skill to have and that we need to teach our children. I read Zoe Sugg's first book,  Girl Online , and I enjoyed it, but for some reason I didn't get around to reading the second book ( Girl Online On Tour ) of the series. The third book ( Girl Online Going Solo ) will soon be out and I haven't even read the second one. I need to get my hands on that book!!! This book was recommend by Mimi Ikonn on her July Favorites ;  Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday. It sounds like a very interesting book. I can't wait to get my hands on this book. I love watching Mimi's videos on YouTube , she always helps me...

Welcome Home Baby!

Image
Dear blog, I finally got to bring my baby girl home. We are beyond thrilled to finally have her home finally. It has been extremely difficult having her at the hospital, away from us. Now we still have some traveling to do, like taking her to an eye clinic and her monthly checkup. It has taken a little getting used to. Trying to spend time with both children, I don't want my son to feel left out. He is finally getting used to having her around, he now goes up to her bassinet to check on her! It's the sweetest thing. I love to cuddle with my baby girl. I always wanted to have a girl, God has blessed me greatly. I have a wonderful little boy and a beautiful little girl. It's a dream come true to have one of each.  Now I have officially become dependent on coffee, I don't sleep much. I've been going to bed at 3:00 a.m every morning. I like to be awake to feed her at 2:00 a.m. My fuel is coffee and milk is the baby's fuel :) I really like the Similac N...

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

Dear blog, I recently attended a professional development course on classroom management. Being my first year teaching, I thought this would be the perfect course for me. I found some great resources. During the course, we watched videos of how one teacher's procedures for the first week of classes. It was an English teacher in the video, and he recommended several books. If you have read any of my posts before, you will probably know I love to ready; so, of course I wanted to add the books he recommended to my must read list. One of the books he recommend was,  Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. This was the only one my local library had, so, I naturally read it first. You may be asking, "why didn't you just buy or rent the digital copy of all of them?" Well, I'm a little old fashion: I enjoy the feeling of finding the perfect book in a library and taking it home for a wonderful experience, then returning it to share that experience with another person I may nev...
