Mommy Monday: Sloane is 5 months old!

 
 
To Our Darling Daughter,

     You are 5 months old now and have grown and changed in so many ways. You have started eating solid food almost once daily. So far you have had sweet potatoes, apples and peas. You started out not really knowing what to do with these crazy flavors and textures but you have really grown to enjoy solid foods and and almost all of it actually gets eaten.
     You have figured out how to army crawl this month and that has opened up a whole new world for you. You crawl all over the floor going from toy to toy. Your favorite toy is actually your jumper. you love bouncing around in there and playing the music.
     This month we also celebrated your first Easter. We had our family and friends over for the day and you were all dressed up in your Easter dress you got from your Aunt Brenda. This holiday you did really well, laughing and playing with everyone until it was your nap time.
     Sloane you have become such a strong a beautiful little lady. Daddy and I know you are going to do so many amazing things in your life and we can't wait to be right there supporting you.

Love you Lots
Mommy and Daddy

Beauty Wise Wednesday: Spring Tag

This is a fun tag going around YouTube created by MissGlamorazzi. It's all about spring! I'm excited to do this, but beware, I am not that hip on the latest trends but I'm going to fill this out as best I can.

The Questions!
1. Favorite spring nail polish? 340 Mint Sorbet by Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme wear nail color line. I spotted this in my friends nail polish collection and I just knew I had to wear it for Easter!

2. What is your must-have lip color this spring?  This question is a bit out of my league. I have gone most of my life with a bit of a fear of lip stick or any real lip color. I'm just starting to entertain the idea of wearing lip sticks. I really enjoyed seeing girls with a red lip and I would love to find a lip stain to try out in a safe first-timer red.

3. Show us your favorite spring dress! Well seeing as I am still in maternity pants I haven't been doing much shopping and so I haven't seen many clothes. I did take a peek at the Forever 21 website and found this High-Low Chiffon Cover Up Dress for $19.80. I have loved seeing these dresses that are short in the front longer in the back and I think this would be a dress I would really enjoy wearing. Yes, I know it's a cover up, whateva!

4. What's your favorite flower? My favorite all time flower is the Gerber daisy. It's such a happy flower. I love the structure of the flower. I once had a Gerber daisy plant that had two flowers stuck together, I called them my Siamese flowers. I absolutely loved that plant and I proudly displayed it by my front door until one day when a neighbor stole my plant and smashed it in the parking lot. I was devastated. WHO DOES THAT?!

5. Favorite spring scarf/accessory? Spring is the time where I can finally break out Capri pants and flip flops. I gotta admit I feel most like myself wearing this combo, I wore them for the first time the other day and I felt like a million bucks.

6. What spring trend(s) are you most excited about this year? (Makeup, fashion or both!) Shockingly I'm really loving the neon colors that have come out this spring. Now, I'm not so sure how comfortable I would actually be wearing neon but I think it would be fun to try it out in small splashes maybe.

7. Favorite spring candle? Yet another thing I am not up to date on, but I have had my eye's on the summer candle line at Bath and Body Works. The three wick candles are on my to buy list.

8. Favorite body spray/perfume for spring? I'm going to stick with my go-to scent that I currently have in my bathroom; Sweet Pea from Bath and Body Works.

9. What is spring like where you live? Well the third day of spring we got about an inch and a half of snow, but, typically our spring is just a big rain fest. I constantly tell myself  "April showers bring May flowers" even well into May or sometimes June.

10. What's your favorite thing about spring? My absolute favorite thing about spring is the fact that the days are longer! During the winter it is so depressing having so few hours of daylight that once the days get longer it really lifts my spirit!

11. Are you a spring cleaner? I'm not a spring cleaner but a year round cleaner. I hate clutter so I constantly am getting rid of old things and keeping things organized.

12. Any plans for spring break or an upcoming vacation? Unfortunately I don't have any real vacation time till September because of my maternity leave but I am celebrating both Mat's and Tara's birthday in April and I think I'll be able to enjoy a good amount of time in Seattle and I will be pretending it is a vacation.

So this is my Spring tag! I am going to tag my good friend Kristin over at Cupcakes and Cosmo's and anyone of you guys who would like to try this out. Leave me a comment with a link to your Spring tag cause I'd love to see your answers!
