We ended our night by ordering a pizza at the hotel and opening one of our Coppola wines. We had an early flight back home to our nugget! Oh man we had a blast but we were ready to hug and kiss our sweet baby girl!

MUTHA!

Being one BAD MUTHA has it challenges for sure but I wouldn't trade it for ANYTHING!

The fact that God choose me to be Channing's mommy is just beyond me sometimes. It is the biggest hugest blessing EVER! She has taught me SO MANY things already. The love I have for my baby cannot be put into words... it is just so special! No matter how many late nights or runny noses she ALWAYS makes me smile and I can't thank God enough for giving her to me and entrusting her to us. Mothers Day is extra special when you are a Mommy and not just a daughter or a child. That, I think, probably hold true when you are a grandmother too! And that is why I want to honor our Breen and our Grammie!




Celebrating the news that I am PREGGO!

Shopping together




A momma and her boys!



Sweet Grammie at one of my baby showers!



Just haaaannngin around



Celebrating as one big happy family!




We couldn't ask for better mom's Grammie's or Breen's!


We love you both so much and are so thankful for you two! Channing is probably the luckiest girl around to have you both. And we are doubly blessed to have you both so close... that means the world to us.


Happy Mothers Day!

Shine On!

This is where I found our Maltese Bentley last night when I went to hop into bed. Laying there on my side like a person tucked in. What the heck, who does she think she is...ROYALTY?





Channing was playing in my mess of a closet this morning and I turned around to find her playing with my heels! It was a proud moment in this momma's life! HAHAHA! (yes, she is in a bass pro shop romper...they seriously make the BEST sleepers... hilaire I think)


My angel face in the photo shoot this morning... She seriously just started posing... It was ADORE!



















Channing starts swim lessons tomorrow! I can hardly wait. I hope she LOVES it!

Awkward & Awesome Thursday!








AWESOME- enough said








AWKWARD(not awesome)- waking up at 6am when I really should wake up around 5am! This is what my hair gets when that happens!











AWESOME- Here is what they say about their red:





MommyJuice Red WineAromas of bright berry fruits. Plums, tobacco and a subtle floral note. Full and rich flavors of blueberries, blackberries and dried cherries. Dried plums and a little anise spice round off the wonderfully smooth finish. Moderate tannins make this a wonderful wine to drink while the kids are sleeping.



*It can be found at most wine stores starting @ $12. That is most certainly AWESOME!

AWESOME- A Cup Of Jo





Another good mommy blog to read! Her name is Joanna Goddard a magazine writer in NY! And she has a great Mothers Day Gift Guide too!










Check her web site out to find out more about who she is and what she does! Basically she watches all the AWESOME (guilty pleasure) TV shows that we do and she finds out what the stylish peeps on the shows are wearing and lets us, the reader, know!!




AWESOME- I wanted this shirt SO BAD when I was preggo with Channing and I will have it for my next one... How awesome is that!?

AWESOME: I want this shirt that Kate Bosworth had on at Coachella for the Fourth of July!
How cute!


Can be found @ TOPSHOP apparently.
