Our Halloween Update (Only a Few Days Late)

I was never really one (as an adult anyways) to get excited about dressing up or Halloween. Yes, I enjoy candy as much as the next person, but dressing up isn't really my thing. But, my perspective on Halloween changed this past year. Since Palmer was big enough to walk with me door to door (for the 5 houses we went to) it was exponentially more enjoyable. Seeing Palmer all dressed up in her cute little Super Girl costume and her reaction to seeing other children and their parents dressed up was so exciting. 

She couldn't quite say "Trick or Treat" but she didn't hesitate to say "doot doo" (thank you) after getting her treats at the door. And she never failed to wave "bye Bye" to each house as we left.

Seriously, isn't she the cutest little Super Girl you've ever seen?

Oh Hey, Friday and A Co-Host Linkup

One: have you noticed the new blog design??? I was due for an update; a refresher you might say. I'm loving the clean simplicity of it. Huge props to Sally::C Webs Biz

Two: I've been spending the last two days trying to fight off this cold I can feel brewing inside! Stuffy nose and a scratchy throat. I'm hoping this is the worst of it and all the Echinacea, Vitamin C and green smoothies I've been taking is working!

Three: It's Halloween!! I've never really been one to dress up (in my adult years anyways) and Halloween was just another day for a long time. Now that Palmer is able to partake in Halloween and enjoy a piece of candy or two, it's turned more fun again. I love seeing all the sweet little costumes out there! 

Four: Have you checked out the cash giveaway from Monday's post???  If not, you better get over there and have your chance at winning some cash!!!!

It's The Little Things: Daddy Hugs

Palmer has her daddy wrapped around her little finger.

I could watch these two together all day. They truly just melt my heart. There is nothing sweeter than watching the man you love do anything for this little person you two have.

Watching him love her.
Watching her love him.

There is one special moment they share nearly every night now. I tell Palmer it is time to go to bed. She throws her hands up in the air of course, and makes this horribly fake crying face and sound. Then, she cuddles up to Mitchell and hugs him tightly, as if to say, "I'm cuddling with Daddy. He's not going to make me go to bed." And, for a few minutes, that is true. I mean, how could you get in the way of a little girl hugging her daddy?


I just can't wait to watch their relationship grow into something amazing!

A Quick Post & A GIVEAWAY!

I just finished my 6 day stretch at work and it had to be one of the busiest, most challenging/frustrating/hard weeks I've worked in a LONG time..... Not to mention a toddler teething her 2 year molars....

 so what better way to cheer a person up than cash?

I'm joining up with Karli | September Farm for a cash giveaway! 

What could be more awesome? Because when you've had a crappy week, doesn't every girl wanna do a little retail therapy?

Umm...YES!

So, you know I'll for sure be entering. Hope you will be too!!

Friday, What I'm Loving Now

one | This coffee creamer. I picked this up when we were in the States and I'm loving it. We don't get a lot of the same flavors here in Canada as they have in the USA so whenever we go, I'm always on the lookout for a new kind.  What are some of your favorites I should try?

two |  This post. Tawnya is a real-life friend of mine and this post really hit home with me. I have talked and thought about the topic before and lately I have been very conscientious about what I spend my time doing while I'm with Palmer. I find it difficult working full-time and getting in enough quality time with Palmer so I have made a rule for myself that I will not use my phone or the computer for non-essential things (facebook, instagram, blogging, etc) while Palmer is awake. Yes, there will the times when I use my phone for a quick minute or two, or check something out on the computer quickly, but I don't want to be that person who doesn't acknowledge my child because my eyes are glued to a screen.

three | I'm loving the way Palmer is really starting to amaze me more and more everyday. Seriously, this girl is getting to be so smart, saying things I didn't know she knew. Makes me realize just how quickly she is growing, hence, the reason for point 2 above.  She is a pro at puzzles, matching games, sorting objects, and starting to say short sentences. Makes me a proud mama.

four | These two. I could honestly watch them play and interact all day. Palmer loves Mitch so much, you can see it in her eyes when she looks at him. And Mitch has such a soft spot for Palmer; she's going to have him wrapped around her little finger!

five | Going to bed at 9:30 every night. I don't know what it is, but there is something magical about being about to lay down after a full day at work and coming home, getting everything ready for the next day (lunches, laundry, dishes, cleanup, etc) and crawling into bed at a reasonable time (so it can be done all over again the next day). I swear, somedays, I need to be in bed before Palmer!

Hope you all had a great week!!!
Happy Weekend.
