How I get this for 'free'

So remember those coupons for games/toys. They came in the mail!!!!

Well I wanted to do a trial run {I still have 4 left}

I bought these games 

My cost?

I paid 1/3 of the tax...that's all folks!

4 of these games are going to be Audrey's birthday present. I'm also going to add operation to that pile {they were sold out} and she really wants it!

Pretty pumped! Pretty pumped!

Chickpea cookies-toddler approved

I made some chickpea cookies, oh man utterly delicious! I could eat SO many! The kids LOVED them! They have peanut butter in them so I can't send them to school but they are a great after school snack! 

Audrey hair mayhem

So this happened 

Let's just say major amounts of hair was damaged and broken off in the removal process....

How it happened...that will remain a mystery 

I can't sleep mommy

Ever since beckham was born we had a special connection. I'd always told Brent if when was having a hard time going to sleep it almost seemed like if he 'smelled me' or felt my 'presence' he would drift off in seconds. Fast forward, he's 3.

Not often but sometimes he'll spend 30+ mins legitimately trying to fall asleep.

Then I go up to cuddle him.

He climbs on my chest.

Just how he'd fall asleep as a baby.

Bam. Within seconds. Snoring 

I'm practically a beckham guru.

The problem with this.

He traps me haha

You try and 'roll out' of this snuggle without waking him.

Sometimes I submit and just feel like it's a 'message' mama needs a nap.

This boy is my baby. He is just so darn sweet. As he falls asleep he whispers in my ear, 'moon and back mommy moon and back.' His sweet way of telling me he loves me.{my heart explodes} 

These moments.

They are my riches. My treasure. My life feels the fullest when I have tender moments with my family. I am blessed. 

{I may also had a tear slip out when our pastor mentioned in his sermon there won't be marriage in heaven. I just in all honesty love my family so much. It is my lifes greatest blessing, my greatest joy} 

Hair evolution

For as long as many of you have known me I have had black hair. Black black black. I've loved it. It makes me giggle when people think I'm ethnic haha. I'm a white white girl but the black hair and tanned skin throws everyone off.

One morning approx 18months ago a high end salon was advertising on Facebook that they needed a LONG haired model to do some work on. WELL that sure is me, I sure was ready for a change. So I signed up. Voila the hair evolution began.

It started with a 'mild ombré' then I realized this was it. This was my chance. I would likely stay black my whole life BUT after going this far I might as well better embrace it. So I did. I have 'slowly' brought my hair to almost as light as it's ever been. 

Black, ombré, blonde ombré

What's your fave? It's been a fun process. I even debate maybe going one more time before summer and doing one final lightening job to bring me to the climax of as blonde as I will ever go. 

My hair also grows FAST, I have hopped off prob 10 inches in the last 18months. 

Don't pee asleep

Beckham was half asleep and tried to go pee. It's always lovely waking up to a pee catastrophe haha. He was so distraught, he just started crying and waiting for me to come. {clearly he couldn't get off the potty without help...otherwise those little toes would have succumb to being 'nastified'}

Poor beckham mommy had to whip out the phone, why you ask? So I could text it to daddy so he could know what I woke up to this morning...maybe that would mean a sympathy back rub. Thanks for taking one for the team beckham!

Eyelashes 3 weeks later

3 weeks ago.

{middle lashes are 'long' and tragically awkward because they are the fake eyelashes that hadn't fallen out yet....when they did fall out it was horrendous!}

My eyelashes got WAY worse, sadly I didn't take a picture because it was horrendous and I was embaressed.

3 weeks later (today)

This picture is poor lighting but honestly it's astounding how fast and thick they have grown back.

I'm not very good at washing my face before bed so in sure you can imagine how little I actually use of 'carprost' I prob only put it on 1/3 of the nights before bed. Haha I did put some in my mascara in an attempt to make myself feel less bad about forgetting so often. 

I really could only imagine how amazing my eyelashes would be if I was consistent and faithful with it. 

**both pictures with no makeup** 

I'll do another picture in a few weeks!
