Happy 15th Birthday to my younger sister, Amie, today. She is not only my sister, but Hailey's Aunt AND Godmother! I love you so much!!

We are having her birthday dinner tonight at my parents house and then Amie has requested to watch the SERIES FINALE of One Tree Hill together. I can't believe after 9 seasons it's going to be over. Wah! And even thoughthe cast has changed over the years, it's still better than ever.

This is the original cast:

The finale cast:

Baptism Invites were done last week and went in the mail on Monday. I wanted to wait for people to see them before posting it. I did them myself and am so happy how they turned out.

I know what I will be doing for food for the baptism, but I can't decide where I want to order Hailey's baptism cake from. I had a cake made for Adam's birthday party from the same bakery that did our wedding cake, but I don't know if I want to go with them again or try something different.

We decided to keep this gathering somewhat small (Immediate family, grandparents and sponsors), but we plan on going all out for her first birthday in June. Is it sad or normal that I'm already thinking of her first birthday? I already have somewhat a theme going. I think.

I turn 29 next week. I'm not sure how I feel about it. Right now I have no words.

My boss is hosting a lunch on Friday to celebrate my birthday. I'm excited for that. Yummy, free lunch from Cosi.

Last Friday, Hailey and I went to see The Wanted at the KDWB Skyroom.They are from the UK and are super dreamy. I'm obsessed with this song "Glad You Came" and have been for quite sometime now.

They performed this song "Lose My Mind" and now I'm loving this song, too.

Here are our pictures from the Skyroom. Here is Max (my fave) holding Hailey.

Hailey Mommy flirting with the boys.

Then Daddy stepped in.

Us with the boys.

So fun! This is their newest single "Lightning" that was released just this past Tuesday.

  Their album comes out on April 24th and I can't wait to get it!

Next Tuesday Hailey is going to be modeling some baby clothes on the Kare 11 Today show. It airs every morning at 11:00 am after the Today show. I'm hoping to get a copy the segment she will be on. I want to be able to share it. I am way more excited about it than I probably should be, but she gets to keep the clothes she models in. Yay! That's about all I know.

I got my most recent Norwex order this week. At Rachel's party on 3/17/2012, I ordered a few things. I haven't been able to really try the new stuff out yet, but I will let you know when I do.

Kitchen Scrub Cloth

I wanted this for the kitchen to scrub down the stove, refrigerator, sink, dishes or pots and pans. I decided I rather not use my Kitchen Cloths for that and with spring cleaning I thought it would be nice to have.

White Netted Dish Cloth

This is a dish or pot/pan scrubber. It's supposed to replace your dish sponges. I'm hoping to get rid of our sponges and not have to buy anymore.Plus, do you know how much bacteria is in a used sponge? Gross!

Kitchen Cloth Set - 3 pack

I already have this set, but wanted another set. I'm constantly wiping the counters, or Hailey's face, or her highchair tray, etc. Although I know I don't have to, I have been washing them probably about every other day.

Sportzyme

I got this for our shoes mostly. Mine can get so stinky, as can Wayne's. This also works great on equipment bags or sporting equipment, etc.

Hand Towel (for the bathroom)

I wanted to at least start getting bathroom products. I'm hoping to get some of the body towels, the bath mat and a few more body wash cloths at some point, too.

Carpet Stain Buster

I am the most excited about this. With 4 dogs our carpet can get so bad and I know with this I am not spraying harmful chemicals on the floor for Hailey to soak in.

If you don't know what Norwex is and want to learn more, read my post HERE!

They have a great search tool that you can look up anything!

Since my sisters Spring Break started today, they decided they wanted to come come spend Thursday night and Friday night with us. Great, I thought. I got a babysitter.

So I met two of my girlfriends for dinner and a movie. We ate at Mongos. So good. I hadn't been there in awhile and I forgot how delicious it really was. I'm craving it right now as I'm typing.

We ended up seeing Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

 I'm not a fan of fishing, but I loved it. It's a very touching story and I cried at the end.

I wasn't feeling the best on Saturday, so having my sisters there helping with Hailey was great. I did get to sleep in on and off until 11:30 am and then we pretty much just hung out all day. With my sisters there I had made big plans to clean, go tanning, go get my nails done, go to Target, go to the Post Office, but I basically got 2 loads of laundry done, and that was about it. Kind of a waste of a day. I ended up going to bed early because I did not want to feel gross on Sunday, too.

Today was WRESTLEMANIA day.

It's basically the Superbowl for professional wrestling and a holiday in my house. My Husband has loved wrestling forever and does a local wrestling radio show. We had invited people over and had a full house for most of the day. The big match of the night was the "Once in a Lifetime" match with John Cena versus The Rock. I'm not going to explain anything further because if you don't like wrestling, you won't care and if you do like wrestling you already know what happened. So we'll just leave it at that.

MGK performed his song "Invincible." Although the actual song features Ester Dean as the female voice, Skylar Grey was there instead. I really like the song. It was John Cena's theme song.



Flo Rida also performed. That was pretty cool.

I love this song: Flo Rida feat Sia - "Wild Ones"

Can you tell music rules my world? Overall it was a great weekend! How was yours?

30 Days of Me {Days 1 & 2}

30 Days of Me {Days 1 & 2}

So I got this idea from Kellie to do 30 Days of Me. I saw it awhile back on her blog, but thought April would be a great month to do it since it's my birthday month. So here we go.I will be trying to do these each day, so I might be posting up to 2+ blogs per day this month.

Day 1: A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself

1. I pretty much love all boy bands. This is my current crush boy band...The Wanted. Love them. They came to the KDWB Skyroom on Friday and Hailey and I got to meet them.

2. I never had a pet up until 2006 and it changed my life forever. Now I have 4 dogs and wouldn’t change anything. I talk to them as though they are human and I believe they understand what I am saying to them. I don’t believe in “outside” dogs. I think that’s stupid and it makes me angry.I can't ever imagine my life without a dog now and my daughter will grow up with at least one.

Go read for all info on my pups.

3. I have a fear of worms and hate walking outside when it rains. My least favorite season is spring for that reason. I also don’t like big bodies of water and have a fear of drowning.

4. I don’t like talking on the phone. I rather text or email. I also screen my calls.

5. I don’t go anywhere without a sweatshirt/jacket and chapstick.

6. I love the smell of meat markets, gas and big permanent marker.

7. I broke both my wrists in 3rd grade.I was running down the steps and fell face forward and braced myself with my arms.

8. I want to get a tattoo and have known what I want for a long time, I just don’t know where I want it.

9. I like to read teen novels. I can't help it. In my defense I have a 14 year old sister that loves to read and she gets me hooked on different books/series.

10. If I am around people that are crying or am even watching tv or a movie where they are crying I will usually cry, too.

11. Sometimes I get motion sickness when I ride in the backseat of a vehicle. Especially a van.

12. I hate making the bed and usually don't unless people are coming over.

13. I love kids cartoons.

14. My mom is my best friend, other than my Husband. I tell her pretty much everything.

15. I don't like corn. I know. People think I'm nutty. I even grew up in the midwest, too. I will have corn on the cob in the summer a couple times, but I usually stay away from it.

Day 2: The meaning behind your blog name

My Some Kind of Wonderful is the name of my blog. I think it's pretty self-explanatory. This blog and where I share my life is My Some Kind of Wonderful.It may not be perfect, but it's perfect for me and it's mine.

My web address is www.mrsmamad.com

I recently changed it. I had been thinking about it for awhile and since my twitter has been MrsMamaD, I thought why not have my blog address be that as well. So I bought the web address for it and here we are.

It's me...A Mrs = married AND A Mama = being a Mom. The D is just the first letter of our last name.

Now go find me on twitter and lets be friends!!
