Family introductions

Now for some family introductions..


This is my husband, Christopher. We've been married for a little over 4 years. We met back in 2005 and have been together ever since. He's messy, I'm clean. He's carefree, I'm a worrying control freak. We balance each other out. But in the end, we're both old souls who like to stay home and watch Goosebumps on Friday nights.

We have 2 kids, Katelyn and Jameson.

Katelyn will be 4 next month. It's so hard to believe. She is growing up so fast. She has always been independent, but in the fall she will be going off to preschool and it makes me a little sad. Where does the time go? She's big on princesses, but I think she's a tomboy at heart. She climbs everything and is the most curious kid I have ever seen. (I'm told this means she will basically be a genius when she's older.)

Jameson is our little drama king of the family. He just turned 2 last month. He's your typical boy; his world revolves around cars, balls, and trains. Don't tell Christopher I told you this, but he can occasionally be found playing with one of his sister's Barbies. ;)

And we also have a dog, who Christopher refers to as the chupacabra. Her name is Peanut and we took her in about 5 years ago. Believe it or not, this is the best picture I could find of her. Isn't she charming?



So that's a little about our family. We're a hot mess most of the time, but we get by. Everyone's family is a little crazy, right?


As for the kids' challenge, today was Time to Read Tuesday, so we took a trip to the library. Have you ever taken your kids to the library? What a disaster. Quiet places are not meant for toddlers. That section for kids should have soundproof walls. Anyway, we got a pretty large stack of books thinking that they would last the week. No such luck. We read them all before bedtime - twice.



And here is some nail art I promised.
I learned how to do the flower mani from YoungWildNPolished. Go find her on Instagram and YouTube! White is Sinful Colors - Snow Me White, black is Sally Hansen - Black Heart, light pink is Essie - Fiji, and dark pink is Nina - Mariachi.




Coming up: tomorrow is What's Cooking Wednesday for the kids and 3 biggest fears for the blog.
