heating pad.

hello all.

i am coming to you,

 live,

from the couch.

i am sitting with a heating pad on my lower back, and a yellow lab at my feet.

turns out..

 riding bike (or pushing a bike) up hill,

with a 30+ pound child in a Burley isn't actually good for your back!!!

i have been in pain.

a lot of pain.

walking kinda funny, according to the hubster.

BUT, the good news is.... it's getting better!!!!

alleluia!

heat helps!

so does Aleve,

AND having a friend that works for a Chiropractor and does Massage Therapy!!!

She made a house call las!!!t night, and i am eternally grateful!!!

:)



perhaps if i walk around in THESE...

my symptoms will lessen!?

:)

SERIOUSLY!! Never seen anything so funny!

{darling sidenote: lastnight i put on one of those heat wraps that stays hot and you wrap around your tummy.... as i am wrapping and embracing the warmth, josie looks at me wierd, furrows her brow and says "Mama, you gotta wear a diaper?" diaper being pronounced "daaaah - per"

rather southern actually....

:)

i laughed!!!!

she laughed!!!!

no. mommy does not gotta wear a daaahhh perrr!

thanks anyways lovey dove!

****************************************************

anyways, on with the show....

today i am loving the sunshine!

green grass!

yummy smelling blooms everywhere!

and the fact that the braids i put in my hair lastnight where still maintained this morning!

SCORE!

i did not have to do my hair,

i managed to slap on some mascara

and now,

i am off to start a nicholas sparks book!

hasta la vista chickadees,

Me.

coffee, tea, coffee, tea or me?



GOOD

MORNING

HONEYS!

Speaking of honey,

I had a delicious mug of green tea with honey,

INSTEAD of coffee this morning!

SAY WHAAATTT???

Yup.

My heart has been RACING after drinking coffee lately,

and making me feel out of breath.

Odd.

very odd.

So, I am trying a different route for a couple of days to see how I feel.

Thus far,

I am yawning.

My my heart rate is thanking me.

:)

{found it here}

this makes me think of Adele.

:)

("use my beehive to dry your dishes")

doesn't get much cuter!

get it??!!!

ahhhh ha ha ha ha!

I love you ALL,

about as much as i love slurping up the honey on the bottom of my mug!

That's a lot of love,

kiss

kiss,

Me.

~Maggie



like lance armstrong.

Good Sunday morning love bugs!

---> these color combinations made me SMILE!

~yesterday was magnificent!!!

i can't help but share with you ....

:)

(hope your day was GrrrrrEaT too!)

So, I started out my morning at an Early Childhood garage sale, and scored 3 large bags worth of loot for Miss Thang! 

AND... at one of the tables, there was a mommy holding a BRAND NEW baby boy.. we were both looking for treasures  and I could see she was struggling... holding a new lump of love (with gobs of hair) and trying to find clothes for him, so I did what any normal person would do (or maybe just me) and said, "If you want me to hold him so you can look... I am completely harmless!"

:)

"I do daycare and love babies and know exactly how you feel!  I was just lucky enough to leave my little chickie at home with her dad!"

and wadda ya know... I got to snuggle the little babe so she could shop!

he smelled delicious in all of his new baby glory!

thank you sweet stranger for letting me help you!

:)

amen.

**********************************************************

After the sale, I went and got a LARGE diet coke on ice at the gas station

 (it's the little things in life I tell you!)

and then made my way to Target... where i hit up a major pillow sale rack!!!!!

OMG!

all of them are in the camper

- as comfy throw pillows

- to snooze on

- to read on  (i cannot wait for this one!)

- to be lazy on

:)

I can hardly wait!

After I got home I cleaned the camper within an inch of it's little life and put up some cute decor...

(like I said.. it's the little things in life)

(cue BIG SMILES!)

:)

*** pictures of camper coming soon!

our first camping trip is Mother's Day weekend!!!!! 

***********************************************************

after rests all around, we loaded up the bikes and burley and headed out to bike!

there is a little town, about 20 miles away that has a state park, trails, a sandy beach, and most importantly a darling drive in eatery!  where you can sit outside and eat delicious food!!!

---> but only after you bike! (at least that's what my husband says)

so.....

we biked.

it was 75 degrees and glorious out!

(source)

and I forgot my camera. seriously!

:(

boooooooooooooooooooooooo...

we had SO MUCH FUN!

i pulled josie in the burley, and brian had the dog on a leash and basically didn't even have to pedal... bailey ran like the wind!

we are quite a sight.

today, my legs are like soft, melted butter.

trying to bike UP HILL with a 33 pound darling daughter in a burley is no easy task,

and at one point i yelled,

"UGH!  How does Lance Armstrong do it??"

pretty much had to walk my bike up the hills.

josie was in her burley, with a little clipboard and notebook and pen pretending to be a waitress and asked me about a zillion times "Whatcha want mom?" so i would huff, and puff, and place my order.

for reals.

there will be no Tour De France in my future.

sorry lance.

HOWEVER.. the supper we ate outside was AMAZING!!!!!

:)

seeing bailey swim in a lake for the first time was also pretty priceless!

{this just in: do not throw a stick into the water for dog to fetch, if it's a heavy stick and is bound to sink... the dog will become confused. ** sorry 'bout that bailey!}

I love family days!!!

<3

Don't you?

This afternoon, my mom and step dad are coming over to grill steaks and have an early birthday celebration with me and my loves...

*** yes, I turn 30 on thursday ***

Have a STUPENDOUS day sweet thangs...

xoxo,

Your almost 30 friend.

glasses and allergies.

good morning my loves.

so, here's the dilly-yo:

my allergies are absolutely

positively doing there thang....

causing some sneezing

itchy eyes,

itchy nose,

swollen glands...

you know... all those symptoms and maybe a few more!

lastnight it was so bad i took some benadryl and bid the day farewell!

sneezed my way to bed!

this morning i feel like i may or may not have gravel in my eyes,

so i slapped on my glasses (instead of my contacts - youch!) and it dawned on me....

glasses are cute - fun - different - unique!

(random thought? yes... but don't give up on me yet!)

and there are SOOOO many to choose from...

let's explore:

{oh, and if you wear glasses, ROCK ON SISTER!!!}

and whilst you rock your spec's - you could wear this dress too!

SOOOO CUTE!

{source}

hi little friend!!!!

you may be the most darling thing EV-AR!!!!

:)

thanks for making me smile this morning!!!

ohhhh sweet love!

pretty sweet, if you ask me!

did you know that my hubster had lasik surgery????

no.

way.

batman.

i'm just not all about lazers and light sabers being shot into my eyes!

sorry dudes.

~adorable!~

** when josie was a wee little lass... she had to go to a pediatric eye doctor, as they had some concerns about her eyeballs... turned out everything is jolly and find :) yay!  but... they did say that she will most likely need glasses by about 2nd grade!

how do they know these things???

genius!

that means that this mama will be rocking her glasses too

so i should prolly start shopping for several pairs to mix and match!

duh!

:)



:)

Happy Friday lovey doves!!!
