<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">I love getting this bag in the
mail! For a price that doesn’t break the budget ($10 including shipping), it is
a great deal and you get a little beauty treat each month.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes they are a complete hit, sometimes
a few products are a miss, but it’s always worth at least what I paid
regardless!</span></span></div>

bag with super bright “graffiti” on it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I honestly hate it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think it’s
the worst bag I’ve ever gotten from Ipsy!</span></span></div>

<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">I thought I may really like
this, but unfortunately it goes on a little too pale for my liking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is sheer and light nude, which doesn’t
work for my skin tone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can see possibly
using it over something darker though to tone it done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What I do love about it though it the
scent….mmmm vanilla!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It also has a great
smooth texture, not sticky at all. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Unfortunately I don’t use
eyeshadows this dark very often at all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I always tend to use the lighter shades in my palette.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am curious though how this looks on. The
packaging says “Is it green or is it red? No you’re not under the influence;
this trippy duotone shade actually changes color before your eyes.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now that sounds intriguing!</span></span></div>

makeup expert….but I wouldn’t exactly call this a bronzer?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It had three shades, a light shimmery peach,
a pink and a shimmery brown.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To me that
is more like a highlighter, a blush and a bronzer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The name is just way off!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That being said, the sections are too small
and close together to really be able to use them separately very. Seems
difficult. </span></span></div>

course I would like these!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I prefer the
cream type that you put on your skin more, as opposed to these which are like

Well....It's been a long time since I blogged about life. I have to say, my days with a one year old are really, really busy! I go to work, get home, spend an hour or two playing with NoJo and feeding him, put him to bed, eat dinner, watch a little TV and its off to bed for me. Rinse and repeat, day in and day out! I feel like I have very little time to myself. </div>
<div style="border-image: none;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="border-image: none;">
I finally decided to make one big, HUGE, change in my life. I got a new job. Now, this may not sound that big to some people, but I have been in the same position for almost ten years now. Ten years. Holy cow! I've been REALLY unhappy for the last few years, but I was just too intimidated with the whole interview process to start looking for something new. I swore I wasn't going to come back after my maternity leave....but here I am at the same place almost a year later. Finally I got so fed up I went through with it! </div>
<br /><br />
<div style="border-image: none;">
I have been with the same overall company (a bank) for over 13 years now, so I wanted to stay at the bank. It took me a few months to find something I'd really like and I even lost out to a job because I was requesting a higher pay than they were willing to give me, but in the end I found something that I hope will be great! It is the same base pay, but now I will be eligible for around 15-20% of my salary as a bonus on top of that. Yay!! </div>
<br /><br />
I know blogging has been pretty light around here and it will probably continue to be that way until I really get my feet on the ground. I am finally starting to get used to my routine with Noah and get some real sleep, but I know a new job is going to shake things up again! Hopefully in the near future I can get back to blogging about REAL things!!<br />
<br /><br />
Thank you all for sticking around and reading my updates....I hope there will be a lot more in the future!<br />
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br /></div>
Also, wish me luck! I start my new job on Monday. Eeek!!!<br />

a few products are a miss, but it’s always worth at least what I paid

<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">I have just started using
bronzer recently to contour and only have a larger brush, so this is perfect
for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will be great for the

<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">I always love a good mask,
so I am happy to receive this one! The only thing that I don’t like about it,
is the instructions say once you rinse off the mask, you have to “wipe off mask
residue with a washcloth or cotton pad.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That sounds unpleasant to mean.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I

way too dang tiny! I am pretty sure I will put it in my purse to use later and
it will be lost forever.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is seriously
the size of about the top of my pointer finger. Speaking of pointer fingers,
that is what I have to use to apply this, which I don’t like. I hate using my
fingers to apply lip products. This is supposed to be lip plumping, but I can’t
really tell a difference. It doesn’t have much of a “stinging” effect like
others I have tried. It doesn’t really have a color to it, but it does smell
amazing, like yummy cinnamon! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I couldn’t
find anything online about the full size, so I guessed at the value!</span></span></div>

<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">As I sit and write this, I am exactly one day away from my
goal of breastfeeding my son for an entire year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> By the time you read it, I will have passed that goal. </span>The thought honestly brings me to tears.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thought we’d never make.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thought this day would never come.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I pushed myself harder than I ever have and I
made it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hit my goal. What’s even
better?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We aren’t even going to stop. We
are going to keep moving forward. </span></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">This post may not be for everyone, but I needed to get this
all out in writing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My story. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is very long, so bear with me. </span></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">As the title says, breastfeeding has been the single hardest
thing I have ever done in my life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes I
have done difficult things (I mean hello, I birthed a child) but most of those
things were just fleeting moments. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A
couple of hours of my life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This task,
nursing my son, has lasted an entire year of my life.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Most women say that they love breastfeeding and the
relationship with their child. They will say it is magical and beautiful and
many other positive things. I can’t honestly say those things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I never felt the magic, which is hard for
me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think it is partly because our
journey has been VERY rough. </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">All of my life I knew I wanted to breastfeed my kids.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My mom did it, so I knew I would too. I never
even questioned it. I knew there were benefits to it, but learned so much more
about it once I became pregnant and began researching. I read articles upon
articles and even took a three hour class at our hospital to prepare. Nothing
though, prepared me for what actually happened.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">When Noah was born, he seemed to latch immediately.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was so happy and proud.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a weird feeling, those first moments,
but I knew I was doing what was best for my little guy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While in the hospital, I tried nursing for
what felt like pretty much the whole time. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The lactation consultant visited me while in
our room and tried to help us get the latch thing down perfect. But she was
very rough. She would pile pillows around me and make me sit up in such awkward
positions in my hospital bed that I felt so weird.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Noah wasn’t doing well with it though.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They didn’t think he was getting enough.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I became stressed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I let a nurse talk me into giving him tiny
bit of formula that first night. I wish I wouldn’t have given in so easily, but
it’s really not that big of a deal. It didn’t hurt anything. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We continued to try and breastfeed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I remember that I thought it was going well,
but every time a nurse or the lactation consultant saw me, they tried to fix
everything I was doing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It because
frustrating.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My doctor released me to go
home after the first night if I wanted, but the nurses suggested I stay the
night so I could get more help breastfeeding, so I did. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We just couldn’t get his latch to a point
where I wasn’t in pain.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Nursing was painful. So painful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know that they always say it is painful in
the beginning while your body gets used to it, but man was this excruciating. I
pushed on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">When we went to Noah’s pediatrician appointments in the
first few days, the doctor was concerned. He wasn’t gaining any weight back
(most newborns lose about 10% of their birth weight in the first couple of
days). They had us come in again in a few days for a weight check.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was also in so much pain that I started to
use a nipple shield to provide some relief when feeding him. Though they aren’t
the best thing, I knew I couldn’t move forward without it. I was crying while
feeding him I was in so much pain.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Meanwhile, I was researching. Reading everything I could get
my hands on about breastfeeding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had
read something about babies having tongue ties and how it could cause a lot of
pain for mothers and how it could affect how much milk baby was getting. I
decided to pay to see a lactation consultant. I met with her when Noah was 8
days old and I asked her if she could check Noah for a tongue tie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She helped us with his latch, but I just
could not get him to do it the same way when I tried on my own. She also said
she thought he could possibly have a tongue tie. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you aren’t aware, I tongue tie is a little
piece of skin that attached at the base of the tongue making it harder for the
tongue to move or stick our very far. </span></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">During all of this, I was still in excruciating pain. Noah
was literally tearing my body apart. Pieces of my most intimate body parts were
literally coming off during breastfeeding (if you get my gist…). I was often
bleeding as well. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I finally gave
up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was so broken and upset with
myself that I couldn’t push forward. I would have to give my baby a
bottle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nine days after Noah was born,
on May 20th, I woke C up early in the morning bawling and asked him to go to
Target and get a special type of bottle (Dr. Browns with a preemie nipple is
what our LC suggested). I felt like I had failed. I was so unhappy.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I was grasping at straws and still suspecting the tongue tie
so I called to make an emergency consultation appointment with our pediatrician.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Little did I know when I chose him, but he is
one of the most well-known tongue tie doctors in AZ. Our appointment was the
next morning. I am so grateful they were able to get us in quickly. It was such
a relief.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once at the appointment, the
doctor confirm Noah’s tongue tie and suggested a revision.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everything I was experiencing could be due to
that. We scheduled his surgery for the following day, the 22<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">nd</span></sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">It was a hard decision, to choose to do the revision.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I knew it would be putting Noah in pain, but
I also knew it would be beneficial to him for the rest of his life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some tongue ties can cause a lot of issues
into adulthood if they are not corrected, namely major speech issues and neck/back
pain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The procedure lasted all of 5 minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They took my little man to another room while
C and I just stood there holding each other.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I heard him cry and then they brought him back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once back in the room he was happy again and
nursed like a champ.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He latched on
better and I felt instant relief from a lot of the pain I had been feeling. </span></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">With a revision like this, you have to do “stretches” of the
babies tongue 3 times a day…..basically to keep the wound open and let it heal
that way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had such a hard time doing
these, knowing that they hurt my little man each time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We forged on though and did what we needed to
do. Luckily he would only cry during the few seconds of the exercises and was
perfectly content once they were done.</span></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Though a lot of the pain had been relieved and I was able to
nurse Noah around the clock again, I was still hurting. I was grasping at
straws to fix it. I thought maybe I had an infection called thrush that can be
in both mama and baby and can be painful. I went to see my OB and she told me I
didn’t have it. I was going to be alone with Noah for the first time that
weekend while C traveled and she told me she thought it would be best if I
pumped and fed him that way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I honestly
think she was scared for my sanity, that I may have a breakdown if I kept
trying. I followed her advice, which was a nice relief, but so much work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was exhausting trying to pump hooked up to
a machine and take care of a newborn all alone. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">When we had the tongue tie consultation, our doctor also
informed us that Noah had a lip tie. A lip tie is a little piece of skin
connecting your lip to your gums, usually right above but between your top two
middle teeth. Since they don’t usually do the revisions at the same time, C and
I had a little time to decide if we wanted to go through with that one or
not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As Noah still wasn’t gaining weight
very well and I was still having pain, I wanted to go through with it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>C wasn’t too sure, he didn’t want to put Noah
through so much in such a short time. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
deliberated for quite a while.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
problem is, some lip ties do not cause problems in the future and some do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I actually have a very large lip tie (which I
didn’t even realize I had until I started this journey) and never had any
problems.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Other times, they can cause a
big gap in your teeth and a lot of speech problems.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thought though, it was better to prevent
those things now while he was young than to wait until he was a few years old
and have a much larger issue to deal with.</span></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">On July 20<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>, Noah had the lip tie revision. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He took it like a champ again and didn’t even
cry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They usually suggest baby Tylenol if
baby seems to be in pain after the surgery but Noah didn’t even really seem to
need it. We gave him one dose and he was fine after that (whereas with the
tongue he took it for a couple of days).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He little lip got puffy that night, but he wasn’t fussy at all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We did his “stretches” during bath time (which
he loves) so I think that kept him happy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He would whine for a second just like before and then it would be all
over again.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Over time, our breastfeeding relationship got much
better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Noah ate faster and there was so
much less pain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was finally happy to
do it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wouldn’t say I enjoyed it
per-se but I didn’t dread it.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">As the months went on, Noah was still having problems with
his weight gain and I began having problems with my milk supply. I knew the two
might be correlated so I knew I needed to do something.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I researched and talked to many other
breastfeeding women and even sent emails back and forth with our LC many
times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everyone kept saying I was doing
all the right things and that I should have a plentiful supply.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was so frustrating. Noah was consistently
in the 3% or under weight percentile and at was point was even at .03%.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not even a full percent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our doctor gave us one last chance before he
made us supplement with formula, which I really didn’t want to do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Through all of my research I had heard of a prescription
called Reglan<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that had some scary side
effect possibilities but also helped women up their milk supply.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In order to get it, you had to have low prolactin,
which is a hormone that causes your body to make milk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, I called my doctor and asked her to
order me a blood test for prolactin (among a few other things, like thyroid,
that can cause low milk supply). </span></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">When the results came back I wasn’t surprised.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most pregnant or lactating women have
prolactin levels in the high 100’s to 200’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Mine was at 13.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>13!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had found the cause of my low supply!
Knowing that the Reglan prescription should help me, I requested a prescription
from my Doctor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Turns out, she didn’t
know much about it though, so she denied it and just told me to pump more
(since I didn’t talk to her I couldn’t explain all of the things I had already
tried and thought I was just taking an easy route).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had to call back and fight for myself. I spoke
with a nurse at length and told her everything I had tried and the research I
had done on the pill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She talked to the
Doctor again, who approved it this time!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I was given a dose of 10 days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I mentioned before, the side effects of
Reglan can be scary. It can cause severe depression.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because I didn’t have any hormonal issues
during or after pregnancy, I was hoping I’d be ok.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I asked C to watch me very closely to make
sure I wasn’t having any problems with it that I couldn’t pick up on myself.
Thankfully, I had no problems at all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
fact, I had just the effect I wanted. More milk! So much more milk! My doctor
agreed after I had no issues to continue my prescription, which I’ve continued
to take for 5 months now.</span></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I am so proud of myself that I fought for that prescription
too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had run out of options and out
of people that thought they could help me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I did a ton of research on my own and requested my own blood testing,
learned how to read my own results and asked for a specific prescription.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I honestly think I taught my Doctor about it
too! </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Since going back to work when Noah was a little less than
three months old, I have had to pump at work too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had to fight for a space to pump (showing
my office the law that they have to provide a space for you that isn’t a
bathroom) and 3 times a day take time out of my job to pump milk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At about 10 months old, I dropped to 2
sessions a day and at around 11 months old I dropped to only one pumping
session a day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am currently working on
dropping all pumping sessions during the day and just feeding him when we are
together.</span><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I hate pumping.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Always have. It’s funny though, I have looked forward to the day I
wouldn’t have to pump anymore, but now that it’s here, I just can’t stop
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know what an amazing benefit the
milk I provide is to my child, it feels selfish to stop giving him that. I’m
having a hard time with it. I NEVER thought I would feel that way! I'm going to stop though....soon. Really. I keep telling myself that.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Ok so there it is, my entire breastfeeding story.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know, I know, it is soooooo long. I just
had to get it all written out, for me. If you made it to the end though,
congrats! I hope someday I can encourage someone that is struggling to keep
going.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I never thought I would make it
to a year and I am so proud of myself for pushing through to my goal….and
beyond!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Through it all I have learned
that every relationship and breastfeeding journey looks different and they aren’t
all easy peasy. I also learned that breastfeeding is an amazing thing and
whether you do it for 2 days or 2 years, you are still giving your child an
amazing benefit! </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">I love getting this bag in the
mail! For a price that doesn’t break the budget ($10 including shipping), it is
a great deal and you get a little beauty treat each month.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes they are a complete hit, sometimes
a few products are a miss, but it’s always worth at least what I paid
regardless!</span></span></div>

tie dyed, water color like bag.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Probably
won’t be using that too much. The card states “Create looks that celebrate
every side of your unique beauty-from natural and understated to high fashion
and ultra-glam.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I guess that about
covers it?</span></span></div>

myself using both of the face masks. Hopefully I can find a friend who likes

even if you take out the highest priced item (the brush at $32) it’s still a
pretty good value! <br />

Well it is official, as of yesterday, my little man is a year old. One. I can't believe how fast time flies! I don't think I can write a sentimental post about being a mother and how much I love this little tyke, I will just cry too much. But believe me, he is the best thing in my life and I am so happy God chose me to be his mommy.</div>

About a week and a half before his birthday, we did a little photo shoot to commemorate. Of course, I had to get some smash cake pictures. Man, Noah did not disappoint with those! I will share pictures of his actual birthday soon! ( We didn't do a party, just a few friends gathered around and some more cake)</div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 10pt;">We made it through the offseason and the Arena Football League
started up again this March.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Unfortunately, C’s wrist injury from a few years ago is coming back to
haunt him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s been causing some pain
and he has also had a pinched nerve in his neck from it. Confusing I know, the
human body is so interconnected.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because
of this, the team put him on IR (injured reserve).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This means he can’t play and even if he gets
better, he must sit out at least 5 weeks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It’s been really difficult for him to watch his team play without
him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hopefully, he should be back
soon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His 5 weeks is up this week and he
is feeling better. Now we need a doctor to clear him!</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 10pt;">In his free time he has been driving for Lyft and Uber, which he
really enjoys.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Something about meeting
new people constantly and instantly seeing the money he made for the day give
him great joy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s nice because he can
do it whenever!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If I feel like going to
bed early (which is like, always) he can go out and drive for a few hours and
make money.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 10pt;">By the time this posts, he will be just a few days from being a
year old. I can’t believe it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everyone
says they grow so fast, but you don’t really believe it until you are living
it.</span></div>

<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 10pt;">We did a photo shoot recently to celebrate one year and also did a
smash cake. It was amazing!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Noah loved
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can’t wait to share the photos
with you. He took a little taste of frosting and enjoyed it so much that he
picked up the whole dang cake to take another bite!</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Right now he is in size 3 diapers and busting out of his size 9
month clothes (switching to size 12 month when they arrive this week) which is
awesome because he is finally starting to catch up to where he should be.</span></div>

<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 10pt;">He loves crawling and standing up on things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He cruises the halls in the house in his
walker with ease while I am getting ready in the morning. He’s gotten great at
backing up and turning around when he hits the end of the tile, it’s quite
funny. </span></div>

<div style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 10pt;">He isn’t talking yet, just lots of babbles and dadadada.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know he understands us though, because he
listens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every once in a while he will
copy something we say though and its incredible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve heard him babble “peek a boo” and even
caught “happy birthday” on video!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Too
bad they were all one time deals though. No solid words yet. I’m trying not to
get too worried about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every baby
does these things in their own time!</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Momma is so proud of being able to breastfeed for a full year, but
she is also very tired.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am beginning
to work on stopping pumping at work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
am hopeful we will be able to still nurse in the mornings, evenings and
weekends, but we will see. We are now working on transitioning Noah to more big
boy foods and meals, instead of little snacks here and there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s quite a confusing process for me and
stresses me out honestly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just want to
make sure Noah is getting all the nutrition he needs! He is so easy going that
he doesn’t fuss much if he is hungry (we had a lot of problems early on with
that) so it’s hard to tell what he needs.</span></div>

<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 10pt;">As I mentioned I am working on stopping pumping milk for Noah
during work hours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has been a rough
year breastfeeding and I honestly hate pumping with a passion, so I am proud I
have kept up with it through our goal of one year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As much as I hate it, I am really having an
emotional time with the transition, which is very odd to me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thought I would be so happy to stop
this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I guess even if you don’t like
doing something, once you’ve done it for a full year it kind of grows on
you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just hope I am making the right
decision about it and I’m not thinking selfishly. Noah love’s his momma milk!</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Noah is still not sleeping through the night and it is really affecting
me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I spend my days exhausted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once I get home from work, all I want to do
is eat dinner and go to bed. I hate it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Last night I was in bed by 8:45pm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That’s pretty embarrassing for a woman in her early 30s!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He has started to sleep a pretty long
stretch, but usually still wakes up anytime between 430 and 545.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The problem is, my alarm goes off at 615! If
he wakes up at 545 to eat, I don’t really get to go back to bed and get more
sleep (even though he does) before my alarm goes off. So basically, I am waking
up every day very early.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have never
been a morning person, so it’s very rough!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Well here we are, another month closer to one! It just goes so, so fast!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We haven't had a doctors appointment in a few months now, so I don't really know his exact height and weight. What I do know is he is finally out of 6 months clothes and into 9 month sizes! He also switched to size 3 diapers. If I had to guess I would say he has crossed the 18 pound mark and he is steadily moving upward. The boy is finally growing and catching up to where he should be!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This month we celebrated his first Easter. We went to a friend's Church where we visited a petting zoo and did an Easter egg hunt. By "hunt" I meant I sat him in a pile of little eggs and he picked up a few around him. He loves shaking them though and putting him in his mouth!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Getting a monthly picture is getting increasingly harder, this little man will not sit still! He loves to turn around and grab the sticker off of the back of the chair. Only one more picture to go though!</div>

is a great deal and you get a little beauty treat each month.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometimes they are a complete hit, sometimes
a few products are a miss, but it’s always worth at least what I paid
regardless!</span></span></div>

adorable orangey bag with a rose type pattern on it. I love it! The products
are pretty dark to me to be “spring” like, but maybe they just happen to be the
colors I got. </span></span></div>

This month’s bag is a total miss for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Not that Ipsy knows my hairstyle, but I am bummed two of the products
are brow products that I won’t get use out of. I can’t fault them for that
though. I use both blush and lip gloss, but I don’t like the shades of those
that were included this month, so I won’t be using them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only thing that can save this is the
magical hair mist, but I am not holding high hopes for it since I don’t use
many hair products. <br />

Noah got a couple more teeth this month on the top, giving him a total of 4. Funny thing is they are not the middle teeth. He looks like a little vampire!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
He is 28 inches tall and 16.1 pounds, but I am going to guess he ended the month closer to 17 pounds! He seems to be getting bigger by the day. He is crawling like crazy and loves to pull himself to a standing position. He is VERY observant and watches everything! He loves to explore!</div>

This month he went to the park for the first time and went down his first slide and got into a swing for the first time. He loved the swing, but not so much the slide! We also got him dedicated at church on the 4 year anniversary of the day mommy and daddy met. It was perfect timing!</div>

favorite times of the month….I love getting this bag in the mail! As I’ve
always said, this is the best bag out there, especially for such a low
price.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are looking to start a
beauty subscription, I would definitely try Ipsy first.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">T</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">he theme of this month’s bag is “Pretty In #Ipsypink” and comes in
textured bag that is pink on one side and has a black and white design with a
heart on the other. I would have though the “pink” part would be more prominent
in this bag. From the bag itself to the contents, there could have been a lot
more pink! This is kind of a fail on the theme in my opinion.</span></span></div>

I’d feel about this….but I kind of love it!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I have never really been one to use cream blushes, but this one works
great. I’m always afraid it won’t blend well, but I haven’t had that problem
with this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I adore the color (Coral
blush is my jam) so I wish this was bigger!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>My only complaint is the blush part broke away from the stick before I
even used it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If I keep it twisted
pretty tight its not a problem, but once I get to the bottom of the packaging
and using it, I suspect it will be a problem and some will be wasted. Bummer.</span></span></div>

adding more oil to it, no matter how awesome it’s supposed to be, doesn’t

the gloss is pretty thin, so its just a step up from nude on my lips, just a
bit of flushed color.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perfect!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The gloss itself is really nice as well. It
isn’t sticky, which is my biggest complaint with most glosses. I am not 100%

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can't believe this dude is already 9 months old! He has been out of my belly now just as long as he was in there. Crazy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This month he is crawling like a crazy man and loves pulling himself up to a standing position. He will be walking before we know it! The only problem with the standing...he's learned to do it in his crib! He wakes up in the middle of the night, stands up and cries. Phew. It's exhausting sometimes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Speaking of his crib, he still isn't sleeping well. He used to sleep through the night, but ever since he got sick a few months ago he hasn't been back to that. I think his cough wakes him up....poor guy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This month he started at 15.2 pounds and ended at 16 pounds. He also grew half an inch longer, making him a full 28 inches. My little man is growing! We are still breastfeeding...I can't believe mama's milk has kept a human alive and growing for 9 whole months!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There aren't a ton of exciting things that went on in January/February, but Noah did get to experience his first petting zoo! He met a turkey, goat, bunny, goose and a few other fluffy creatures. He also took his first bath in the sink, which he absolutely loved!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got pretty far behind on these....whoops! Life has really caught up to me and its hard to find time to blog anymore. I want to at least share Noah's pics for the first year though. I want to be able to look back on this time and remember everything!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In his Eighth month we celebrated his first Christmas! He wasn't too sure of what was going on, but he played nicely with all his new toys while we sat with daddy, Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle to open gifts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He also got sick for the first time this month, which was a big bummer. We spent many nights awake coughing and had plenty of "steam" sessions in the bathroom to try and fight it off. It was rough because daddy had to fly back to Maryland for a funeral, so it was just mommy and Noah through it all. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Halfway through the month our little peanut weighed 14.2 pounds and is staying steady at 27.5 inches. </div>

on their shadows is amazing, they are very pigmented.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They used to be a lot cheaper, so now I am
not sure I would pay full price for one of their palettes…I would wait for a

<div style="border-image: none;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif";">1) <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Tatcha</i> Petal Fresh Original
Aburatorigami – 30 sheets (FULL SIZE)</span></strong></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif";">Ok the name sounds really
fancy….but these are just oil absorbing sheets. I’m not too impressed, even if
they are made from “100% natural abaca leaf and gold flake.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Did you know a CLEAN toilet seat cover will
do the same exact thing?!?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Beauty trick
hehe.</span></div>
</div>
<strong><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif";">Full Size: $12.00

<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif";">2) <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Jelly Pong Pong</i> All Over Glow - .68 oz (FULL
SIZE)</span></strong><br />
<div style="border-image: none;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif";">First of all, I just can’t
get over this name. I can’t take the brand seriously!! That being said, I
unfortunately have too many luminizers from brands I respect more, so I doubt
this will be getting much use.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The one
thing I do appreciate about it though it that the tube is quite large.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It will last a LONG time!</span></div>
</div>
<strong><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif";">Full Size: $15.95
My Value: $15.95</span></strong> <br />

<strong><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif";">3) <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">NCLA</i> So Rich Cuticle Oil – .5 oz.
(FULL SIZE)</span></strong></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif";">I appreciate that this is
different from the usual nail polish, but I’m not sure it is something I would
ever use. Since I am not a nail polish user and don’t ever need to use lotion,
my cuticles have no issues. Plus, you are supposed to apply two times a day.
Who has time for that?</span></div>
</div>
<div style="border-image: none;">

– 3.4 oz. (FULL SIZE)</span></strong></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif";">I like the smell of this,
it smells like coconuts. Yum.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think I
would normally get use out of a product like this, but I don’t like the fact
that you need to towel dry your hair first before application, then let it sit,
rinse and then you have to towel dry again. I prefer one I can use completely

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Noah's 7th month of life was so much fun! He hit a few milestones and we also celebrated some of his first major Holidays together (Thanksgiving and Christmas). He was a little under the weather for the first time from his 6 month shots and was full blown sick for the first time on his 7th month birthday. Also on his 7th month birthday....he got 2 bottom teeth! We had a bit of an issue with weight gain (he was in the 0.3% for a little while) and Noah was almost put on formula, but mommy figured out her low supply issue after lots of work and he gained 1 pound in three weeks. By the end of the month he weighed 14.25 pounds and was 27.5 inches long!</div>

<a href="http://www.ipsy.com/r/1df7"><span style="color: #2198a6;">Ipsy</span></a> time!
</div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">As always, this is one of my favorite
times of the month….I love getting this bag in the mail! As I’ve always said,
this is the best bag out there, especially for such a low price.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are looking to start a beauty
subscription, I would definitely try Ipsy first.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; border-image: none; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">T</span>he
theme of this month’s bag is “With <3 from Ipsy” and comes in a bright red
bag with a quilt type pattern. I wish the bag wasn’t so plastic like, but
that’s my only complaint.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also got a
nice extra (the shadow palette mentioned below) with a note telling me that
I’ve subscribed to Ipsy for over three years now and that I was one of the
first to subscribe, so they consider me a founding member.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How fun! I guess that shows how much I like
it….three years and still going strong!</span></div>
Next up…the December <a href="http://www.ipsy.com/r/1df7"><span style="color: #2198a6;">Ipsy</span></a> bag!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-k59dBKNxTcA/VoxZ3xl0aII/AAAAAAAAE1E/TsCtwp542LQ/s640/blogger-image-982003212.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-k59dBKNxTcA/VoxZ3xl0aII/AAAAAAAAE1E/TsCtwp542LQ/s400/blogger-image-982003212.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<strong>1) </strong><em><b>Lather</b></em><strong> Honey Moisture Mask with Propolis
Extract – .5 oz.</strong> </div>
<div style="background: white; border-image: none;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
I love face masks!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The description for
this one makes me giggle…”a relief mask for environmentally stressed skin.”
Sounds so specific and fancy!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I like the
smell of this…which is a good think because they recommend leaving it on for 20
minutes, which is long for a mask. In my opinion it smells a little like baby
powder.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
</div>
<div style="background: white;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<strong>Full
Size: $22.00 for 4 oz. My Value: $2.75</strong></div>
</div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none;">
<strong>2) Elizabeth Mott Thank
Me Later Eyeshadow Primer – .17 oz. </strong></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
I’m a big fan of eyeshadow primer, I use it every single day. Generally I use Urban
Decay, but I am excited to try this brand!</div>
</div>
<div style="background: white;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<strong>Full
Size: $20.00 for .35 oz. My Value: $9.71</strong></div>
</div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none;">
<strong>3) </strong><em><b>Pacifica</b></em><strong> Natural Lipstick in “Tender Heart” –
.07 oz. (FULL SIZE)</strong></div>
<div style="background: white; border-image: none;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
I can’t
decide if I like this or not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think it
may be just a tad too orangey for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
will give it a go though. Hopefully it isn’t too drying. I do like that it is
all natural and vegan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s a good
thing for a lip product!</div>
</div>
<div style="background: white;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><strong>Full
Size: $10.00 My Value: $10.00</strong></div>
</div>
<br />
<strong>4) </strong><em><b>Tarte</b></em><strong> Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay
Finishing Powder in– .07 oz</strong><br />
<div style="background: white; border-image: none;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
This
is another item I am excited to try.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
use a finishing powder every day also, so this is something right up my
alley!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a really well-known brand
and line of makeup, but something I have never tried. I hope it works great!</div>
</div>
<div style="background: white;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<strong>Full
Size: $14.00 for .13 oz. My Value: $7.53</strong></div>
</div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none;">
<strong>5) </strong><em><b>Klorane</b></em><strong> Floral Water Makeup Remover – .8 oz.</strong></div>
<div style="background: white; border-image: none;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
I was
hoping this would smell really good….but it doesn’t smell any different than
most makeup removers. I do like that is it considered soothing and for
sensitive skin, because I tend to lean toward products like that! </div>
</div>
<div style="background: white; border-image: none;">
<strong>Full
Size: $10.00 for 3.38 oz. My Value: $2.36</strong></div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none;">
<strong>6) </strong><em><b>.em Michelle Phan</b></em><strong> Artistic Eye Color Palette in “Dublin
Khakis”– .18 oz.</strong></div>
<div style="background: white; border-image: none;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
I am
excited about this cute little palette!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It’s got great neutral colors and I do feel really special to receive
one, knowing I am one of the first to try Ipsy and I still stick with it!
Michelle Phan is the person who actually started the Ipsy Glam Bag, it’s cool
that she has her own makeup line now!</div>
</div>
<div style="background: white; border-image: none;">
<strong>Full
Size: $28.00 My Value: $28.00</strong></div>
<div style="background: white; border-image: none;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="background: white; border-image: none;">
<strong>Final
Cost: $10.00</strong></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<strong>Final
Value: $32.35</strong></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<strong>With
Gift: $60.35</strong></div>
<br />
I can’t say the value of this
months bag (minus the bonus gift that not everyone received) is very great, but
I do like almost all of the items! The only thing that I don’t think I
will use at all is the lipstick. I can’t wait to try the eye shadow palette and
the makeup remover, plus the finishing powder is next on my list once my current powder is empty.<br />
<br />

I honestly didn't take but 2 pictures the entire day, so I don't have much to share. Noah was loving crawling on his presents and he ever ripped into a few. It was so much fun watching him. Of course, Grandma spoiled him which was exciting too. Mommy and Daddy got him all sorts of new foods and snacks to try now that he is becoming a big boy :) </div>

Noah's 6th month of life brought so many exciting firsts! He went to his first concert (Garth Brooks!), took his first flight and trip to Maryland, dressed up for his first Halloween and ate his first real food! He is still such an incredibly happy baby and is moving right along in his development. His was 12.9 pounds and a bit over 25 inches at his 6 month appointment.<br />
He loves our cat October and gets so excited when he sees her. His feet are always in his mouth (resulting in wet socks half the time) and he drools like a crazy man. Teeth are imminent! <br />

This is one of my favorite times of the month….I love
getting this bag in the mail! For the cost, $10 including shipping, it is such
a great deal. If you are looking to start a beauty subscription, I would try
<a href="http://www.ipsy.com/r/1df7">Ipsy</a> first. You can’t really beat that! Getting makeup in the mail is just so
fun!</div>

The theme of this month’s bag is “Beauty Blast” and relates
to space I believe, judging from the galaxy looking makeup bag that came along
with it. The bag is so totally not my style. I don’t really see how the actual
products relate to them theme, but oh well.</div>

</div>
<div style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">
</span>This seems to be another brand that I am starting to get a
lot of in my beauty boxes and unfortunately it’s a brand I’m not particularly
fond of.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This product is just a hair
spray though, so hopefully I like it! I can say, one of the things I don’t like
about this brand is how their hair products smell. My hair is near my face, so
I get whiffs of it often! This doesn’t smell terrible, but it is still an odd
smell, almost like….oranges?</div>

</div>
<div style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">
</span>I’m not much into highlighting creams, but if I did use them
this one doesn’t look very appealing. It actually looks pretty greasy to me. I
like the idea of the three different colors though; I think it helps to match
various skins tones. <br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">
</span>I don’t really have any reaction to this product.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The color isn’t ugly by any means…but I guess
it just bores me. I prefer shadows in palettes honestly, so I don’t see myself
getting a ton of use out of this. <strong>Full Size: $13.00 My Value: $13.00</strong></div>

already have a few shadow brushes I like (though none are for my “crease”) so I
won’t get a lot of use out of this. </div>

I don’t love this month’s bag.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only thing that saves it for me is the
mascara! At least that and the value of the hairspray add up to what I paid for
the bag, so no waste here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The total
value of the bag is, as always, great!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

month with shipping included and is a “beauty box subscription that surprises
you each month with the best beauty products from popular and chic brands. Each
box contains full size and luxury size beauty samples from preferred well-known
brands.” They aim to cover a whole look from makeup to nails, which I really
like. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif";">The theme this month is “Beauty
Par-Tea” which is a cute idea. It seems more like a spring idea, but cute
nonetheless. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />

<strong><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif";">1) <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Luxe</i> Rose Gold Concearler Eye Brush #211
– (FULL SIZE)</span></strong></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif";">I don’t use concealer too
often (gasp) but I think I might start soon, my face has been breaking out.
Boo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This seems to be the perfect brush
for that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also think it would be a
good brush for using any cream shadows.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The description says it is “coated with antibacterial solution” which
sounds a bit odd, but hey, it can’t hurt right?</span></div>

Eye Serum - .5 oz(FULL SIZE)</span></strong></div>
<div style="border-image: none;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif";">I have gotten several
products from this brand in past beauty boxes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I do like them, but they aren’t magical enough to pay the price they charge
for them, so I won’t ever be buying them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>At least this will last a lot longer than the small, equally high priced
moisturizers I’ve received since you don’t use much at a time! The description
says it contains “French marie plants to bring 4x the power in antiaging” Ooo
La La!</span></div>

Stain in “All of Me” – .18oz. (FULL SIZE)</span></strong></div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif";">I thought this might be a
nice color for me, but it turns out it is too bright for my taste. It was too
drying for me as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My lips seem to
be quite picky. I do like the packaging for this though.

SIZE)</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif";">I can’t believe this
is considered a full size product for something you are supposed to “spray
generously” into your hair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I feel like
I would only get a few uses out of it! The product itself is a pretty thick
consistency, kind of like lotion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
honestly can’t see myself spraying this on dry hair for fear that it would look
greasy!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It does smell really good
though, so I will give it a try on damp/wet hair.</span><br />

to add a gloss over it because it felt too dry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>2 hours later my lips were peeling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Lame. I don’t do well with the “long-lasting” lip products. </span></span></div>

stain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m not an eye serum person, but
I guess it doesn’t hurt to use it! I am excited to make use of the concealer
brush and the blush though.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Again….I
like it….but love it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh well.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Wow…this is another one of those products that must work
crazy miracles based solely on the price.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

get.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The brand must get a lot of
business from the boxes though?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m not
really wowed by the brand, so I this doesn’t thrill me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their lip products are too drying for me and

say I am slightly disappointed, though not much.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There aren’t any products that I love and am
really excited about, but I still think I will get use out of everything but
the nail polish. As always, the value is fantastic, but I think it’s a bit high
because the price of some of the products is ridiculous in my eyes.</span></div>

Well folks I am finally almost all caught up on pics of my little man! He turned 5 months old on October 11th over a weekend stay in a cabin with his Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Shay. I can't believe he is 5 months already. </div>
<div style="border-image: none; clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-image: none; clear: both;">
By the end of the month he weighed 12.9 pounds and I am guessing is somewhere around 26 inches. We will have an official weigh in next month. When we last went to the Doctor he was in the 3rd percentile for weight which is worrisome, but he was in the 85th for height....so he is just growing up and not out! Hopefully this month he will gain a bit more weight and be good to go for his exciting 6 month checkup.</div>
<div style="border-image: none; clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-image: none; clear: both;">
This month he started sitting up for a few seconds on his own (he is getting better and better at this daily) and he LOVES to put his feet and anything else he can grab onto in his mouth! He is a terrible nap but sleeps fantastic most nights. For a few weeks we got 9-10 hours straight which was amazing. Then we went out of town and screwed it all up! Hopefully we can get back to that soon!</div>
