An Award!

A big thank ya to Wendy for giving me this award! Please check out her blog The Butterfly Balcony. I am always super flattered when someone thinks of my blog when they give out awards. I am truly shocked people even read this haha! Thank you thank you thank you!

THE RULES:
1. Thank and link back to the person who gave you this award.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Award 10 recently discovered great bloggers.
4. Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award.

Hmm 7 things. Ok here goes..
1) I have secretly been losing baby weight and not sharing it on my blog. *gasp* Id rather not blog about being a fatass after having 2 babies. Ive lost 25 pounds which is fantastic but I have hit a plateau, that I already overcame once before Christmas before my mom visited. I ate alot and gained 5 pounds back so Im trying to overcome the dreaded 25 pound plateau for a second time, and losing this round miserably.
2) I have a fierce caffeine habit that Ive been trying to kick. Im down to about 3 caffeinated drinks a day and almost ready to ween myself down to 2. I used to drink the 8 glasses of water a day and remember feeling and looking great and miss that. Im just so tired being the equivalent of a single mama during this deployment.
3) I watched Spongebob long before I even thought about having kids and loved it.

4) I have had alot of pets in my life. One dog, two cats, two hampsters, several fish, a rabbit, a few chicks, and two turtles. I have cried over the loss of every one of them except for the fish, the rabbit and one of the hampsters.
5) Ive had a Facebook page less than 6 months. Mainly created it due to boredom and loneliness.
6) I know what I saw as a little girl whether you or anyone else believes in it. Lots of strange things happened in that house.
7) Snakes give me the heebie jeebies. I have watched thousands of horror movies and never had nightmares. I could see a snake on a movie or animal planet and I have terrible nightmares haha.

Now onto the awards..If Im to stick to blogs Ive recently discovered I can only award 5..Sorry! I follow tons of blogs and most of them Ive been following since I started my own. So here they are!

That Vintage Broad
Out With The New In With The Old
Zombies Everywhere

As per the rules Ill contact the winners..if they dont see it here first..when I get around to it haha.

An award, 9 followers and some news!

Wow. I havent posted in over a month and in that time La Dama from Vintage Passions Just Like Mine gave me this award!

Probably undeserving but mucho appreciated. Thank you!
Also Im thinking maybe I need to walk away more often because I gained 9 followers without blogging a thing!
On to the news.. here goes.. the stress I was feeling about my son was due to waiting on referrals and appointments for evaluations. Evaluations for autism. Although Im still not 100% convinced in my heart Im happy to say the developmental pediatrician does not think he is autistic. He does have a speech delay and hes been in early intervention since July and has recently got into speech therapy. He has been progressing really well, especially since Daddy deployed, which is strange because I thought since it was just us everyday he would regress more but thankfully he hasnt. Thanks to all who has stuck with my blog. Your support is sincerely appreciated.
P.S I finally joined Facebook! haha! Yes..I gave in.

My First Blog Award!!

The always lovely Brittany over at Va-Voom Vintage has given me my very first blog award for being a newbie blogger beginning with a bang! How exciting! Thanks Brittany! I honestly thought that no one would ever really read my blog. Its really just a way for this stay at home mama to feel less cooped up and reach out to others who share similar interests. Id like to pass this award onto:


Temperamental Broad. Shes a vintage obsessed beauty with tons of pretty photos to look at.
