Mommy ♡ Daughter Date: The Young At Art Museum #YoungAtArt

Feb 19

It’s been over a year since our first visit to the Young At Art Museum here in South Florida. Last week was intense stressful around here. Between working, preparing for a birthday party, and Valentine school festivities I was extremely exhausted by the time Sunday arrived. I was more than ready to relax and unwind a bit since I was off of work Monday & Tuesday. Typically when I am off during the week I take advantage of having free time to myself because Toodie is in school until the afternoon and it gives me a chance to get things done without any distractions. Since I was able to get some rest and run a few errands yesterday I thought it would be nice to spend a day at the museum before heading back to reality on Wednesday. Toodie has been asking me to take her to visit the Young At Art Museum again for a while now & this seemed to be the perfect time to do so. Yes, I let her play hooky from school today.. shhhhh!

Semi-Wordless Wednesday: Toodie’s Valentine Birthday Photos!

Jan 29

I am still in disbelief that my little girl is turning five next month. FIVE! Where has the time gone? It feels like just yesterday that I was swaddling her in a baby blanket and rocking her to sleep. I miss those days. I think every parent does. While I wish I could rewind time and relive all of those memories, I love watching her grow each day. She is so smart for a little person. Sometimes I don’t know where she comes up with the things she says and does. Soon another year will be behind us and I am always thankful to have plenty of photos to look back up on.

10 Reasons Why Being A Mommy ROCKS!

Jan 21

The other night I was laying in bed with Toodie snuggled up next to me watching a movie on the iPad. I cuddled up close to her and put my arm around her as she giggled and drifted off into a world of My Little Pony. I closed my eyes for a few minutes to rest and was woken suddenly by a soft kiss on my forehead. Naturally, I opened my eyes and saw Toodie smiling at me. She took her hand and stroked my cheek. In her soft sweet little voice she said, “Mommy, I just love you so much. You are the greatest mommy in the world. I love you.” My heart melted and in this moment I reminded myself how thankful I am to be a “mommy” and to have such a wonderful child that gives me unconditional love on a daily basis. Being a mom is special. It’s one of those jobs not everyone understands but if you do, then you know how unique it is. Inspired by love I came up with the 10 reasons why I think being a mommy rocks!

#ThrowBackToodie Thursday: A Few Of Mommy’s Favorites

Aug 22


As an Instagram connoisseur, I have noticed that several trends have developed when it comes to posting photos and on certain days of the week. We have your #ManCrushMonday, #WayBackWednesday, #ThrowBackThursday, and even #FlashbackFriday. I normally participate on Thursday, adding my own twist to the challenge. I call it, “#ThrowBackToodie! It’s the one day that I get to look back and choose my favorite memories of my little girl growing up. Sometimes it’s hard to choose JUST one and I got a little coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs posting like a crazy woman. But that‘s okay. Who doesn’t enjoy looking at a sweet little face and huge toothless smile? With that being said, I decided to bring the trend over to my blog and begin a #ThrowBackToodie collection. Each Thursday I will share the cute, the funny, and the silly moments of Toodie that I have captured.

Toodie’s Cadbury Ice Cream ‘High Tea’ Party! #CadburyHighTea

Jul 21

Being a mommy to a little princess is a true blessing. I always knew that when I became a mother I wanted to have a girl first. The past four years have been filled with all things “girly” including dressing up, painting nails, playing with makeup, and tea parties! All of these fun things were shared with me when I was growing up, and now I get to experience them with my own daughter. With the help of Blue Bunny’s Cadbury Ice Cream bars, Toodie had the opportunity to host her very own “High Tea” party with friends this weekend. The girls were so excited that they were able to wear their pretty dresses while they sipped tea like royalty and nibbled on homemade finger sandwiches. It was sure to be a day filled with giggles and yummy goodies to snack on.
