I sound just like my mother!!

Growing up I heard the normal, " don't run in the house!", "don't climb on the couch!", "don't just throw your toys in the room, put them where they belong!"," ' I want, I want, I want' that is all I hear!!", and my favorite, " did you just hear what I said?" So, now as a parent of a 3 and half year old, rambunctious boy, I catch myself saying those exact same things my parents use to tell me!!

Jay is incredibly active! He is into Spiderman and Ironman and he runs around the house as if he is one of them. He's also very content just sitting in front of the TV, but I try to limit his TV time because I don't want him to watch TV all day!! He doesn't like to play outside with me because I can't run around with him. I am almost 7 months pregnant and having Jackson makes it difficult too. I will go out there and kick the soccer ball around with him, but I'm not Daddy, so sometimes it isn't good enough!!

The other day he was climbing on the arm of our couch and fell straight on his tailbone! He started crying and I said, "See, that's what happens. Stay off the couch!" He of course still continues to play on it when he doesn't think we are paying attention. He jumps off his bed like he is Superman and gets a knot of his head! It is endless and people keep telling me to just wait, the ER is in our near future!!

And with Jackson behind him and Jacob RIGHT behind Jackson, my life will be full of Nana's words!!

The Old Woman Who Lived In A Shoe

So recently I have started examining my face and I feel I look haggard. I am 27 and I know the time is going to come when I need to start worrying about my skin. I already have dark circles under my eyes, those are hereditary, but I know they can get worse. I wash my face every night when I shower, but I feel I need to up my skin procedure! In college I was always say, "Hey, if I got the money, I would soooooo do Botox!" and I still feel the same way. However, now, spending that money on Botox seems ridiculous to me!! Would love to do it when need be, but for right now, I will leave my skin to Olay!

So, today when I went to the store I decided to go down the aisle that sells all the fun stuff for your face. I was so overwhelmed with all of the choices!! I knew I wanted some sort of scrub and a night cream. They had all these kits that cost like $40 and I was not wanting to go down that way! When I looked at them there were too many steps and creams you had to apply. I needed something that could be easily worked into my nightly routine and that wouldn't take me 30 minutes! I remember seeing a commercial for some product that came with a scrubber, so I started looking for that. I found it! It's called L'Oreal's New Go 360 Clean. The one I decided on is an exfoliating scrub that is suppose to " exfoliate dull, dead skin celss and unclogs-pore by pore. Removes all traces of oil, dirt, and makeup. Pores look visibly smaller." SOLD!! Then on the night cream I decided on Olay's Night of Olay firming cream.

Jason just laughed at me when I came home with my new toys. He told me I was being ridiculous (awwwww), but said for me to do whatever makes me happy. In other words he probably thinks I am being hormonal and I just want to make myself feel better....eh, possibly.

Tonight will be the first night of my new beauty routine. We shall see if it makes any difference!! At least my face will be super clean when I go to bed, smaller pores and everything!
