I Never Would Have Believed This

Ok, first of all, forgive the mess. Remember, I am still unable to get up and do normal Mommy things like clean. I should be walking without crutches in about one or two days! 

Second of all, here is Ava. Besides the fact that she has the cutest lil' ponytail ever, she is enamored with the TV. This is not some ordinary tv program that rots the brains of adolescents. This my friends is an educational DVD. Some of you may have heard of the DVD series called School House Rock. They have one DVD that is all of them rolled into one! It's the 30th anniversary edition. 

I was introduced to this by a mommy friend. I initially thought this was the best for my son. He enjoys it, but it has become a lifesaver for me with Ava. Ava does not like being in the car for long periods of time, and this has made all the difference.  Let me tell you, it will have your kids singing along, and you'll remember things that you have forgotten as well! 

So, if any of you are looking for tv programs to watch, and that are completely wholesome and educational... this is it! 

By the way, this was ten minutes later...

Let me know what y'all think!

Have a great week ~ D

I Can Walk Again!

Well, sort of ...

I finally went to my post-op appointment. I have been waiting for this day it seems longer than a week and a half. 

He says, I can start putting weight on my leg, but I still have to use my crutches. So that means I still can't hold my babies and walk at the same time. Or hold anything rather. Pooh. 

Starting Monday I can start full weight bearing if I feel comfortable. I think I can! I think I can! 

I met another therapy patient at the physical therapy facility I go to the other day. She had surgery twice on her knee cap because it was moving. Or something like that. She had to be on crutches no weight bearing at all for six weeks! Six weeks! I was only like that for a week and a half. I was about to lose my marbles! I could not even imagine it. Like. Seriously. Six. Weeks. 

I can even get my leg wet! Well, I could get it wet before, just not the stitches. But, I didn't want to take any chance on getting the stitches wet, so I didn't wet my leg at all.... Let that sink in. You do not even want to know how hairy my legs were. I felt the need to profusely apologize for each raunchy hair at my appointment. Thank God razors have been invented. 

So, for the mean time, my little sweetness has to get her hugs and loves in bed, or in a chair, or in a Huffalump's hair (take that Dr. Seuss!)

Bye y'all!

The Art of Gift Giving

Giving a gift to someone special is well, special. The gift shows how you may feel about them, and how well you know them. I love to give gifts that are different. I am not always able to give those creative gifts every year, because frankly, I can't find anything or it's too dang expensive. Everyone loves gift cards and money. I still give those kind of gifts too. These gifts aren't expensive, but they are different, and really neat. Yes, I just said neat. Ha.

I found this cute Sideways Initial Necklace on Etsy. There are three different finishes to choose from, and it's only $34! 

                                         

Every woman/girl wants that go-to eye shadow pallet that never fails. Wait no more! This is it. This is Too Faced's Natural Eye Neutral Eye Collection from Sephora. Get this for $38!

I don't drink whiskey, but my husband does. I just think that this is the coolest thing! The Whiskey Ball comes in a one, two, and four pack option. There are also gift options available. The two pack option is only $19.95. 

Everything from this site is magnificent and not to mention beautiful! The prices are great and it will make any mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, or friend feel special. This candle is $30 and would pair nicely with a hot bath and LolliaLife.com bath bubbles.

Happy shopping!
