I love Target BUT..

...Alright, so all you faithful Target shoppers I'm sure you know about and LOVE the Liberty of London brand...right?!? I know, me too!!!
I came across this purse..http://www.target.com/dp/B0030DS7HC/ref=gp_se_search-results-asin-redirect && immediately thought I had to get it...so I did! Well..not exactly. I went to Target to see if they had it..apparently our Target isn't "big" enough to carry a lot of that stuff. So...I went online and ordered it, March 16th my order was confirmed and complete. Well, no bag yet.
Turns out it won't be shipped out until May 1st..what a bunch of shit! I am PISSED!
I love shopping at Target and always will BUT their return policy and online shopping is a CROCK! I will never order online with them again..this isn't the first time I've gone through this. Lesson learned. It is an EXTREMELY cute purse and I know the wait will be worth it..but I want it now! I haven't decided yet if I am going to use it for Piper and her stuff or keep it for myself..I'll put much better use to it! ;)

Not me Monday!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

..I'm not having a bit of a guilty week...or am I?

It wasn't me who consumed a couple Reese's eggs and some Hershey kisses w. almonds for breakfast and then told Piper we are going for a walk to not skip out on that and watch TV instead!

What mother would lie and tell her daughter a storm was coming and we needed to get inside quick..only because mama didn't feel like sitting out there.

It's not this mama that has too much stress to take a break to go outside with my children..I have not been online for the majority of the day doing finacial work for school...no instead I put that aside and keep up with my children at all times!

Who goes shopping with their boyfriends/husbands and spends way more then they should knowing there are bills due, not this mama! I would feel too guilty to even ask to go shopping!


Do you have anything you don't want to confess?! Something embarrassing you don't want to admit to? Something that all of us would not love to read about! Well..head on over her blog and see what all of us have not been doing!

...and it's still Easter!

...yikes, it's been a rough day! Well, actually it was a perfect day, just eventful and I am wore out! It didn't help that JJ decided to have a poker party last night...yeah, the night before Easter morning...awwww, he's brilliant sometimes...I love him for that tho! ;)
Yesterday we went to JJ's parents for their Easter...unfortunately I got like 3 pictures and my camera died..bummer!
But I did manage to capture about 140 today at my family's Easter..haha, so I'll share some of our Easter weekend!


Our egg coloring set up!

This is suppose to be for the kids!


Tessa and Nick both spotted the golden egg at the same time so they get their reward!

Having a 13 year old sister gives me an excuse to be a kid with her..and of course to pose for the camera! ;)


Auntie Tessa and Taylor.


Piper on the search for her eggs..she found all hers except one!!!!!

The Pod Piper.


Piper pouting b/c she couldn't grab other people's eggs...poor baby!



The girls had a WONDERFUL Easter..they got 4 Easter baskets each so it was almost like Xmas for them! I am soooo sick of toys, my living room has became the new toy room! :/

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter as well!

Procrastination:best friend OR enemy?

..Here it is, the day before Easter and we have yet to finish getting the goods for the girls Easter baskets! It wouldn't be such a problem if I knew for sure Walmart or Target will have what we're looking for..Taylor wants a hamster and I will NOT allow one of those in my house...ewwwwwww! *I just kicked my feet up into my chair* Now I feel like there's hundreds of them crawling around...LOL.
So..anyways, she's not getting a real hamster. However, she can and will get a Zhu Zhu pet as long as we're able to get one. The last few times we've been out to purchase one they've been sold out. I didn't realize they were such a hit!
And it doesn't help that we got Taylor the biggest Easter basket they had..because at the time she was our only child and our kids use the same Easter basket every year..so I've really got to find some bigger items to make the basket full! :/

And now I can say their outfits are bought and picked out...except shoes! I don't know what they're going to wear for shoes! I want to get something they can wear throughout the summer and not just for Easter.
This is the first year I didn't buy them an Easter dress..I decided it's best to save the $100 it would have cost for their dresses, sweaters, shoes, and hair pieces. I'm trying to become a little thrifty shopper! ;)
Well..they got a cute little skirt that I got at Target a few months back and to pair it w. a pink little baby tee. It's not entirely Eastery but it's cute, girly, and springy and they can continue to wear it throughout the warm months. It'll do!

Ughhhh..and as for me and my Easter outfit...RUINED! I bought these super cute, yet comfy linen white pants to wear with a pastel blue blouse...well TMI but aunt flow just arrived this morning and I am NOT risking to wear white during this time!
So..now I gotta round something up to wear! It's hard work being a woman! ha!

Well..we're off to celebrate Easter w. the In laws today and it's just gorgeous out to do so!

I hope you all have a beautiful weekend and a Happy Easter!

Five Question Friday!

Oh Friday how I love thee! It's almost an end to my horrible week! I've never experienced a week like this! :/
Well, we're heading out to shop for our spring clothing here in a bit..just waiting for the dryer to get done! I need this pick me up! Shopping is seriously the biggest high for me, it's a love hate relationship sorta thing! ;)
Anyways, enough w. my rambling..time for Five Question Friday! woot!


1. Do you sing out loud in the car when you're driving?
I LOVE bursting out in the car BUT only if it's dark out or I'm not on a busy road..I love passing people by as their jamming out but I'm not going to be that girl that gets caught doing it! LOL.


2. What would you never be caught doing? hhmmm...I always say "omg! I would never do that!" but now I can't think of anything...well I would NEVER be caught in a bikini..my kids of completely ruined my body from trying to scratch their way outta my tummy!


3. Will you go #2 in a public restroom? ONLY if it's emergency and I can't make it home in time to the cleaness and comfort of my own home! Public bathrooms are almost a phobia to me..I just feel like there's so much stuff you can contract! :P


4. Have you ever broken a bone? Up until Tuesday my answer would have been NO!
But as a kid I always wanted to be able to say I've broken a bone and to be able to wear a cast so all my friends could sign it...turns out it isn't so cool to break a bone. I just broke my toe but that little toe caused A LOT of pain and has put me on some restrictions...I can't put a shoe on and what really sucks is that I can't go for walks to get my arse in shape!


5. Do you prefer cooking or baking? I am a HORRIBLE baker...to be honest I don't think I've ever made a batch of cookies without burning them, I fail everytime!
You've got to have a special talent to be bake, let's just say I am no Betty Crocker!
