Oh, The Insanity!

As some of you know, if you read my blog-haha, I have started with Stella & Dot a few weeks ago. I am so excited about it and had to share a couple pictures of my display I set up. I was pretty proud of it. So, since starting that, I have neglected my blog a little lately. I feel like a crazy person running around, trying to get everything in order. Davis is cutting four teeth right now, and his separation anxiety has not gotten better, only worse! I am so overwhelmed, I feel like I can't breath! If I stand up in the same room he is in, all chaos breaks loose! It's awful! Just yesterday, I stood up while in the same room as him, and he went ballistic. He threw himself into a screaming fit to where he couldn't breath. I know most of you are thinking it's just a phase. Or it will pass soon, to not worry about it too much. How can I not? My everyday life is consumed with deafening screams to the earlobe! This doesn't feel like a phase, more like a very bad punishment. I think Michael is starting to believe me when I've told him lately I want no more kids! Yes, of course I will change my mind, but NO time soon. And I mean no time soon!

So needless to say, I feel like a nut lately! I signed up to do the 31 day blog challenge, and don't even know what day I left off on! Deep breath in. In with the good, out with the bad! I love when I get comments like, don't worry, this is just a phase until the next one starts. You'll never be alone. Kick me while I'm down, people!

My Stella & Dot parties are going full force, and so I am extremely excited about that! It's giving me a much needed break right now. Red bulls may be included next time for some much needed, more energy!! I am having so much fun, and it feels so good to be a part of this company. I am excited about the months to come, and my upcoming opportunities!!

Look at my too cute cookies I had made!! They were such a hit!

My sponsor, Dana. She is such a tremendous help and great leader! I have already learned so much from her!

ONE of my favorite necklaces!

My goody table. Cookies, snacks, mimosas, and vino. Of course, vino!

My display!! I LOVE this job! What girl doesn't want to wear fabulous jewelry everyday!?

WINNER!!!

Can I Put A Dog Run In The House?

No longer is Davis hiding the fact that he crawls, he is all over the place. Yes, that' right. He hid it from us for the longest time. Here I was wishing he would hurry up and start moving around, but he was doing it the whole time. I caught him out of the corner of my eye, but when he would see me, he would stop. We set up hidden cameras in the room, but that kid is too smart for us. As soon as he saw the not so hidden camera, he decided to stop. Almost like he was telling us, 'be patient my dumb parents. In a short period of time, you are going to wish I wasn't mobile!' And ah, yes. That time has come. No longer can I place the little guy in front of one of his videos, on the floor to play, or simply turn my back for .5 seconds. He is a speedy little baby Gonzales and is sprint crawling down the hall. Can we please go back to the hiding part? Now I'm glad he decided to crawl late because this child is wearing me out! Whew! I am so in for it!

And come on! Can someone please tell me why baby gates are so expensive? Our doorways are super wide, so we can't fit the regular ones, we have to get extreme length to fit those babies! I'm thinking at this point that putting a dog run in the living room may just save me a headache. Like a two for one kind of deal. The dog is getting on my nerves, throw him in the dog run. I have to leave the room, place baby in the dog run. Both dog and baby are out of control, let them chase each other in there. The dog run is big enough for both! Surely CPS will be okay with this, right? Talk about the perfect place for a time out. But until I have a big enough house for this huge dog run, I will just have to dip into Davis' college fund to buy these beautiful gates. Can't someone at least make some to go with my decor?!


I don't think this tree will fit in a hallway closet, so there will just have to be fake grass all over the floor! He is so proud of himself, being able to crawl everywhere and explore EVERYTHING!! Aren't we exited!

While putting away Davis' laundry, I found him inside his closet playing Peek a Boo with the curtains. It looks like he's staring the down, making sure they don't get away!


He was having so much fun! This has to be my most favorite stage yet!! He melts my heart!

A Lot To Do-Day 2

Today's task is to write a list post. The purpose of a list post is to provide your readers with information that is easy to read and spread. This list post can be about anything!! Reasons why you hide in the bathroom from your family, ways you attempt to keep your sanity, or even what you did on your favorite vacation. Well, since my head is spinning a little out of control right now, I thought I would make a list of some things I have going on. This will be perfect right now, so that way I can SEE everything together. Deep breath. And out.

I AM A LITTLE SCATTERED BECAUSE:

- I became an independent stylist with Stella & Dot and will be having my launch party this weekend
- Having the party, I am running around like crazy to make sure I have everything I need. My sponsor says to relax and have fun, so I am trying very hard to actually listen to her!
- I have several trunk shows next week that I am super excited (a little nervous) about
- Sending out invites
- Davis' birthday is next month and have been getting invites together for that
- I have reviews and giveaways lined up that I need to stay on top of
- I am attending a small business conference next month that I am really looking forward to
- Can't forget the 31 day challenge!
- I feel like there is so much more. This is why I am scattered!
- Life and diapers fit in there also. You can take the diapers though!
