I've seen this on a friends blog. She usually does it every week and so in an effort to be more "present" on the blog, here are three things about my week.

ONE

I didn't realize how much pink I have in my life at the moment. I mean it IS my favorite color, but really?

Purse, Nails, iPad Mini case and sunglasses. This is my life I guess.

TWO

Green Grandma comes on Sunday....for 2 weeks! She's mostly coming because of Hailey's 2nd birthday on 6/26. We are doing her party on the 29th. Last year for her 1st birthday we actually were in New York and she was there with us at that point, too.

So excited to have here here with us for a visit! I really wish she would move back to Minny!

THREE

So Hailey got bit again at school (daycare). That's 2 days in a row now. 2 DAYS!! She's only there two days a week (usually M's & F's), so for her to get bit, let alone 2 days in a row is just preposterous!! Not to mention that's 3 times in about the last month. I know it's a part of being "toddler," but at what point do you say enough is enough. The hardest part is they can't tell me many details. They are looking into it cause I sent them a stern "Mama Bear" email and are in the process of getting back to me.

Have any other parents out there experienced this with daycare? What did you do or how did you handle it?

P.S. Anybody else waiting impatiently for Friday?

This is my outfit for today. I've been wanting to post more outfit/fashion related posts. Mostly because I'm trying to branch out and try new things and also just because it's fun.

I thought I would share and link-up with The Pleated Poppy.

My "Lot In Life"

My "Lot In Life"

Welcome to my "Blog Every Day in May Challenge" that I am participating in going on over at Jenni's Story of My Life.

Go see the list HERE for the whole month.

Disclaimer: I know it is not May anymore, but I only got half way through the month and want to finish with these topics. 

Day 16 for Thursday, May 16th: Something difficult about your "lot in life" and how you're working to overcome it.

I know this may sound sorta cliche, but I don't think I have a so called "lot in life." Certainly I have had things happen in my life that have changed me or my perspective on life.

A few examples:

My sister, Keli Jo, dieing when I was in 6th grade;

Various other loved ones deaths;

My rocky relationship with my Dad growing up (which is a 1000% better than it has ever been);

The miscarriage I had back in the summer of 2010.

All my experiences have made me who I am today, but I wouldn't say it's my "lot in life." I love my life and feel that I am very lucky and fortunate to have it. I say my prayers every night with Hailey and we talk to God about all our blessings. I wouldn't change it for anything.
