My go to sites.

Every morning, when i sit down at my desk I surf the web...shame I know, but it's a habit I like. First things first, I catch up on work e-mail and make sure there is nothing pressing that needs to be dealt with. After that, I check the same sites day after day....at least in the first hour of being at work:

1. www.hotmail.com: My friends and i are e-mail fanatics, sometimes there are 50 some odd e-mails circulated in one day. I love it...except when I'm traveling and then it stresses me out if i can't answer or give my opinion on something!

2. www.thestate.com: skim any local news stories that appeal to me

3. www.facebook.com: self explanatory

4. www.foxnews.com: this is where I get all of my national news.

5. www.blogspot.com: catch up on as many blogs as I have time for...I check this throughout the day, whenever I need a five minute breather. The blogs I read run the gamut from fashion, to babies (as in friends who have them~ my "mommy" blogs so to speak, not as in how to have/take care of a baby for my purpose, ha!), to weddings, to design and decor.

*All of these websites are generally checked a few times a day. I know it sounds crazy, but I am a super fast reader and I skim a lot of stuff....everyone needs a little break from work every now and then. I probably don't stay on each site more than 2 minutes at a time.

Now, for my shopping sites i go to. These are more random, sometimes I will look at one three times a day...then go a week or two without checking back. It all depends on my shopping mood and how much money there is in the bank account.

1. www.anntaylorloft.com: my definite go to for work clothes. I really feel like Loft has stepped it up in the past two years for fun "going out" clothes as well. They always have amazing sales, the prices are really good to begin with.

2. www.shopbop.com: when I am craving some designer duds.

3. www.forever21.com: when I am craving trendy clothes but don't want to spend a lot. I will buy a dress or something from here specifically for "game day" or something like that, and half the time never wear it again. With the super cheap prices...it really doesn't matter. Of course, to be honest...a lot of the stuff is no good after a few wears anyways.

4. www.piperlime.com: because they have everything and it is amazing. pure and simple.

5. www.nordstrom.com: ditto.

6. www.potterybarn.com: because i want my house to be a mixture of PB, Ballards, and Coastal Living....that's not too much to ask right?

7. www.ballarddesigns.com: see above

What are your go to sites?

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
