lil bit of everything...

Hey kids!
We
made
it
to
FRIDAY!!

~Felt like kind of a long week. And after all of the Dairy Queen talk in my previous "Confessions" post, I am totally getting a blizzard this weekend :-) In honor of all my blog friends!~
--->Here are some links for you - be sure to head over Here later and give her some blogging LOVE!<---


**Just came across THIS fabulous little kitchen gadget online and may have to have it - to open what bottles? I dunno. But it would look stellar in my kitchen AND I just recently saw an actual sea turtle while scuba diving in Mexico. They are HUGE!


***Totally digging THESE boots and thinking they may have to be mine to sport for Josie's baptism at the end of March!?!? Possibly with some cute knee high Smart Wool socks!? I'm just say'n!


**I would like to wake up with HER HAIR please! And speaking of hair, THIS product is my new FAV!
***Can I please hibernate in any one of these places until Spring has Sprung!? PLLEEEAAASSEE!? OK. thanks.
***Definitely purchasing these Yo Gabba Gabba tennis shoes for my little Tasmanian devil - because they are pretty much to die for cute.
That's all she wrote for now. But I will be back!!!
Much love to you and yours,
Maggie

CoNfEsSiOnS.....

We made it to THURSDAY y'all! WHOOP WHOOP :-) And now, some confessions (showing some love to Miss Katy you should too):
  • I LOVE taking baths. If I could I would take multiple hot baths a day. Shower? Nope! It's all about the tub - few things cannot be made better by sitting in a hot bath... pardon me while I go soak. (Just kidding!)
  • I am extremely proud of myself for keeping my cool this morning. I stubbed, and I mean STUBBED my toe so hard on the wooden rocking horse in our livingroom that I thought I may go postal.... OH LORD HOW IT HURT! I excused myself from playing and went into my bedroom to take several very deep breaths and pretend I had a "toe epidural" going strong in my system.
  • Remember Chia Pets? I never had one and would really have LOVED one! Instead I have my daycare kids grow grass in a dixie cup and give "it" a haircut! Fun Spring craft alert!
  • I love Buff's - and want one in every color & design possible please!
  • I could eat cereal for every meal of the day - and snacks!
  • I NEVER eat Dairy Queen in the Winter - it's strictly a Summer thang for me!

I hope you all have a FABULOUS Thursday! Make it a great one...

xoxoxo.

A little loving to Athleta...

So, a couple of weeks ago I posted about the new sweater/wrap that was on it's way to my house from Athleta.com:Well, lo and behold it arrived - and I haven't taken it off since :-)

WOW! This picture is very scary of me - I apologize! You get the idea tho!

Cream in your coffee???

~So... I have decided, now that the sun has set, I have bathed and am snug as a bug in a rug - to ask you to join me for coffee (we can make it decaf it you'd like)! I am linking up with Virtual Coffee today and am so excited to have found Amy's blog! :-) (** A side note about coffee: I do daycare out of my home and each morning I brew a pot of Caribou Blend and have disposable coffee cups and lids so that I can offer the parents that drop off a fresh cup of "Joe" on their way to where they are going! It's just a gesture I like to make, because I know how blessed I would feel by it! ** I, of course help myself to several mugs of coffee each day too! Mmmm.....)

Now, onto our coffee date... Since this is the first time I am doing coffee virtually I am going to say WELCOME and thanks for stopping over I will now take the time to share some things about myself... so we can get to know each other better. You can also tell me all about yourself too!

~I am 6 feet tall - all legs and my husband is 6'5" - that makes for most likely a very TALL bambino. Josie was long at birth and continues to climb her way up at each checkup. Neither one of us played sports - I did ballet and was in theatre! Brian is an avid 4-wheeler/ice fisher/outdoorsy lumberjack man (I LOOOVE HIM!) We have been married 3 years and were wed in the winter on Lake Superior on a beautiful day with glistening snow falling ever so lightly - magical!


~I really don't enjoy shaving my legs - I mean, I do, so I am not a hairy gorilla - but I always cut my knees (because I am in a hurry to get it done) and could SOOOOOOOOOOO do without!


~I have worn yoga pants all winter - they were on sale at Shopko, AND they were in longs, so I bought 3 pairs and have lived in them! They are going in the trash ASAP and I can't wait to get out my sundresses, skirts and capris! I LOVE SUMMER!


~I love to brush my teeth after each meal - otherwise my teeth feel fuzzy - a little strange perhaps, but keeps the cavities away! :-) YAY!


~You will never see me without my Nalgene bottle! It's pretty much always with me with water - sometimes water with lemon for me to sip on! I swear it keeps me energized - and I need to because I am with kiddo's all day!


~I love walkie-talkies (can we say random?!?) :-) They are just FUN!


~I love Ireland. Have been there once and want to go again soon!

At this point in our coffee date, we would notice that our mugs are empty and we both have to pee, so we would call it a good date, and schedule another one. Soon!

Love Love to you my friend.

In honor of Life Made Lovely Monday, I am sharing these pictures from breakfast this morning.


Josie had the giggles about something and it melted my heart - and made ME get the giggles!

She has the most infectious laugh - and babbles on and on as though in a conversation about something. Soon those babbles will be actual words and we will get to talk, talk, talk! She makes my life (and my world) more lovely every day!!!


LIFE IS OH SO GOOD!!!

Check it out...

Hey!!! So I just entered in a contest for a FABULOUS giveaway - and you should TOO!
Head over to this blog - and enter! Tell Katy HI from me :-)

family.

Me, my sweet husband and our precious daughter are what "it's all about" for me.
This is us on the ocean in Mexico (La Bocana) a month ago - not a care in the world - beaching it up (with the birds!)
Hope you are having a splendid Saturday.
xxoo,
Me.
