Linking up with Vodka and Soda for Humpday Confessions.

I confess...

Even though I said I was back at this blogging thing on September 8th (a month ago), I haven't blogged since then. Oh life. Hopefully with the turning of the seasons, it will be the turning of me blogging more.

I confess...

We cancelled our Lifetime Membership, joined Snap Fitness a month ago and neither me or my Husband have been yet. Oh, we went and toured it, but have not been back to work out.

I confess...

I love wearing leggings way too much. Like. Way. Too. Much.

I confess...

I push the snooze button way too many times in the morning and then oversleep and then rush around and out of the house because I am "running late." Ugh. It's a vicious cycle I am trying to stop. I so need this shirt.

I confess...

I rarely actually type a text out anymore. I use the microphone option on my iPhone and speak that shiz out. I'm lazy like that and...

I confess...

I watch way too much TV. I can't help it and I don't care. #sorrynotsorry

That's it for this week. Do you have anything to confess this week?

I'm Back!

I'm Back!

Well Hello Friends,

After taking the summer off, I am BACK! It was an unintentional break, but much needed.

I wanted to spend as much time as I could enjoying the beautiful Minnesota summer with my family. It's only the second week of September and we're already forecasted for 50's this week. Ugh. (Summer don't leave us yet!) It always goes way too fast!

A quick little update:

I started a new job at the beginning of June after a month long transition from my old job, into a temp position, and then into my current position. After three months at the new firm, it's still going great. I love my two bosses and everyone I work with. I really missed the big firm environment with the staff meetings, treat days and even a monthly firm lunch. And even though I am much, MUCH busier (read = not much personal time during the work day), it's truly a great place to work.

Hailey turned 3 years old over the summer and is doing great. She's continuing in her pre-school classroom at her daycare center. She is getting so big and I fear her turning 4 years old will be here before I know it. Wah! She's truly developing into her own little person with her own opinions and likes/dislikes. She started dance class this past Saturday and although it's quite a commitment on the parents part, I am excited to see her grow and learn.

Wayne also turned another year older this summer and stayed busy with lots of work events, softball  and we made it through another year of the State Fair!

After both of us taking a haitus from the gym this summer, we are greatly looking forward to getting back at it very soon!

I have missed you all and the blogging world and so happy to be back!

Potty Training Tips

Potty Training Tips

**This is a sponsored post by Cottonelle, but my satisfaction with their clean care routine is all my own.**

Hailey's been potty trained for almost 6 months now, but I've got a couple products that I recently found that will make your bathroom routine so much easier for those just starting out.

First of all, you need a great toilet paper, otherwise known in my house as bum wiper. It shouldn't be cheap or thin, but thick and durable. Cottonelle® Clean Care toilet paper is where it's at. There is nothing like a toddler ripping it off the roll and obviously not worried about how much they are taking. But as a Mom, I sure am. You need to be confident that even the littlest amount they may grab will do the job.

Secondly, I always liked having some sort of wet wipes in the bathroom. I feel the whole dry + wet combo is best for toddlers learning how to wipe themselves and ensure me that Hailey always has a clean bum. I don't want to have to worry about any leftovers if you know what I mean and I am so satisfied with the Cottonelle® Flushable Cleansing Cloths. The container is super cute and fits perfectly on the back of the toilet.

It keeps the wet wipes moist which I was finding hard to do with other kinds. They don't get dry or crusty which is what I was looking for in a product like this. Plus, they are super accessible for Hailey when she needs it.

How great is that? I highly recommend these Cottonelle® products which I purchased from my local CVS. They always seem to have great deals on anything you need. Go to their website now and download the CVS Cottonelle® coupon for this product.
