Head over to either Tara's blog or Katie's blog to link up with them for Birchbox Brag.

This is my very first box I ordered. A few of my friends get it and so I wanted to see what it was all about.

If you are not familiar with Birchbox and don't know what it is...basically for $10 a month they send you some trial sizes of various beauty products.

All the links will take you directly to that product on their website.

I also got a sample for the new Birchbox Man.


We'll see how the hubs likes it.

So that's my box for June. I haven't had a chance to use all the products yet, so we will see, but I think I did well for my first box.

Can't wait to link up!

I saw Snow White and the Huntsman a couple weeks ago. I went to the premiere before it opened to the public. I loved it.

I'm planning on seeing Rock of Ages tonight with Falen.

True Blood started last Sunday night. Seriously love that show. So excited to see Christopher Meloni a/k/a Elliott Stabler on the show this season.

The Bachelorette is getting so good. "This week she told a guy to "Get the F**k out."


I was nervous that she was going to be too nicey, nicey, but she is a sassy little thing.

My new nail color this week is OPI Pink Flamenco.

It's the perfect Summer pink.

Loving this song right now: Katy Perry - "Wide Awake"


Our cousins just opened up their new restaurant in downtown Robbinsdale. They officially opened Monday morning. It's called Birdtown Cafe. Hubs has been twice this week already. I can't wait to go and try the Eggs Benedict. It's my fave and he said it was so good! This is where my MIL works as well. She is officially back to work after 1+ year of being laid off. Yay!!

With her being back to work, means that we are in flux with someone to watch Hailey. This week we used my Mom everyday, but she lives about 20 minutes from us. It's not horrible, but some days with the traffic back and forth. I think we might be looking into getting a Nanny. We'll see. 

I can't believe we go to New York next week! I haven't started packing, but I have made a list. Go figure...me with a list. We are so excited for our family trip!

I just got my first Birchbox yesterday in the mail. I haven't had a chance to use anything out of it yet, but will be blogging about that on Monday!

Lately I have been obsessed with these:

Our first weekend in May was spent in Los Angeles, California. West Hollywood to be exact. There was a new show premiering at the end of the month called "Men at Work" on TBS and Wayne was asked to go to the press junket and represent KDWB.

Photobucket

We were thrilled. All expenses paid trip for 2 out to California?? Hell yea!! Here is a breakdown and a slideshow of our trip.

We stayed at The London West Hollywood, which was beautiful.
We had a driver wherever we went.
We had a hospitality suite at the hotel filled with snacks and drinks.
We went and toured the shows set at Sony Picture Studios in Studio #25.
We met the stars of the show and got pictures with each one.
We watched the pilot episode.
We went out to eat at BOA Steakhouse which is a super fancy and delicious restaurant.
We had breakfast each morning at the Gordon Ramsay in our hotel.
We had massages at the Ciel Spa in the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills.
We sat at the rooftop pool at our hotel and got some sun!
Wayne interviewed the cast and writer, Breckin Meyer, of the show one on one. 
We took a cab to Santa Monica Beach.
We walked the Third Street Promenade.
We attended the roof-top launch party with food/drinks and gifts.
We ate at In-N-Out Burger for the first time.
We met some really cool people.
We had a great weekend away.


We missed Hailey so much.

This is you at 11 months old:

Photobucket

You wouldn't sit still for Mommy again this month and let's be honest, you really don't sit still at all anymore.

You are always on the go.

You are walking (sometimes trying to run) all over the place!!

Photobucket

You are always getting into everything.

You have found some new places to squeeze into.

Photobucket

You are trying, eating and loving so many different foods. You name it and you've probably tried it.

You love Baby Mum Mums. They are your favorite snack.

Photobucket

You see Mommy and Daddy eating and you are immediately by our sides or begging for some.

You love ice cream. Especially milk shakes.


You have started to mimick us when we say a couple different words. For example:

"bye, bye"
"no, no"
"Dada"
"baby"
"Ellen"

You don't say the word entirely clearly yet, but you can definitely tell you are trying to copy what we are saying.

You are eating about 6 oz of milk for daytime feedings and 8 oz before bed...sometimes more.

Photobucket

You like to have your blanket over your face when you are eating.

You love drinking water out of your sippy cup.


You also love playing with it, too.

You are still going to bed at about 9pm and sleeping until about 8am...on average.

You love to be outside.

Photobucket

You and Daddy takes walks to the park with the puppies.

Photobucket

You still clap when we say "Yay!"

You raise your hands when we say "So big!"

You hate swinging and are afraid of heights just like your Daddy. Hopefully that will change soon.

Photobucket

You are going after the dogs more and more now that you can walk, but they are still OK with you.

Photobucket

You have gotten so vocal and jibber-jabbering away all the time.

You love to watch Ellen and dance to the music!

You like to multi-task sometimes and eat sitting up so you can still watch TV.

Photobucket

You are drooling like crazy lately because you are getting your eye teeth in.

Photobucket

You now have 4 upper teeth and 4 bottom teeth.

You love sitting in the shopping cart or cruising around in your stroller.

Photobucket

You love to people watch and are so curious. 

You went to the zoo for the first time.

You wore your sun hat, but it didn't last long on your head before you pulled it off.

Photobucket

You have really started showing us your personality

You have really started showing us your temper.

Photobucket

You get so mad when we take something away from you that you should have.

You like to show us how independent you can be already.

You're eyes are turning hazel.

You are growing to be such a big girl.

Grandma Kimmy put your hair in a ponytail for the first time.

Photobucket

You still love bath time and are even getting used to the water running. It doesn't even bother you anymore.

You are also getting used to the blow dryer now, too.

You still don't like the vacuum. It's just too darn loud.

You are now wearing all 12 month clothes (a few smaller onesies) and even a few 18 month things.

Your giggle is the best thing in this entire world.


You are still wearing size three diapers.

You love to make funny faces.

Photobucket

You still love your activity table and the music it plays.

Photobucket

You are just so very precious to us and we love you so much.

You are the light of our life!

Photobucket

We love you so much!

I just got my nails done yesterday. I went with OPI's new gel polish in Miami Beet.

Photobucket

I usually don't go this dark, but I actually really love it.

Photobucket

It's obviously the color of a beet...purple-ish. I wanted something in the purple family for the benefit on Sunday.The benefit is for a friend's Dad and he is battling pancreatic cancer. Purple is the color for pancreatic cancer. Just trying to be festive.
