rants & raves

I do apologize for the lack of posting. The past 2 weeks we've been settling into a new routine, leaving less time and energy for things like blogging :) I changed my hours at work so I could get home a little earlier, so my morning looks a little something like this now.

4:30-5:30 Get up and drag myself to the gym.

5:30-6:30 Get Ready

6:30-6:45 Get Zoe up,dressed, & breakfast

6:45- Out the door

I'd like to lie and tell you I get up every morning at 4:30 and make the most of my gym time, but that's not always the case. I usually miss one morning a week, sometimes that 4 o'clock hour is just a little too early. Then I end up, half-sleeping and thinking that I should have just gotten up at 4:30 and worked out, because I still have to get up at 5:30.



Ryan's school schedule is full. He's taking 2 math classes, so his homework level is way up this semester. Which means we are cherishing the time the Daddy isn't busy doing homework.



I've been crafting but not taking pictures, because usually when I'm done it's late and there's just crappy apartment lighting. I'll take some pictures of my recent projects this weekend.



They include, embroidary, reverse applique, scrapbooking, glitter, baking, aprons and t-shirt makeovers....

Now onto the rants & raves...

As someone who love Valentine's day for the candy....I've been extremely disappointed in the Sweethearts Conversation Hearts....they changed the flavors! They are terrible, and they added the color blue. I was so sad. I thought my Valentine's Day would be ruined this year. Until, I was in Target today. Brach's saved Valentine's Day! They only had them in the individual packs, but they had the REAL conversation hearts.

{I bought a BIG bag}

I also bought some other cute stuff at Target, but that will show up in future pictures/posts.

I'm normally not a big dress wearer, but lately, I've seen so many cute dresses, I think this will be the summer of the dress. I really like that dresses are a one piece outfit. No matching, no 3 different things to wear, just one.

I've recently gotten very attached to the show, "The Bachelor", that Texan boy, Jake just seems so genuine. Then, I discovered Realitysteve.com. * DO NOT GO THERE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW ENDING* in my heart of hearts, I know it's all staged and planned, but sometimes it's fun to pretend that it's all real.

and because no post is complete without a picture....

 

Here's Zoe on a walk yesterday.

XOXO,

Holly & Co.
