3 Years and More to Come

I'm a little late on this post (almost a month actually), but I figured it's better late than never!

Dan and I celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary on May 19th. After work we went to the Japanese Hibachi to celebrate with delicious food! We came home and enjoyed an amazing cookie cake that Dan had ordered.

*we aren't sure why they put 'Be Mine' on the heart*

I can't believe it's been 3 years! As corny as it may sound, I love my husband more and more each day. I keep finding little things about him that make me fall in love all over.

Here's to many more years babe!

Spring Break with (Part of) the Family!

My goal for the next week is to post a few blogs that I've been meaning to post for a LONG time. Please forgive my LONG overdue rantings and pictures.
To start off the blogging week I wanted to write about my Spring Break here in Virginia Beach. My mom came down for the week because she hadn't been here in over a year. I wanted to show her all of the house updates and I missed our mother/daughter bonding time. She came down the Tuesday of vacation sick as a dog. The doctor had just diagnosed her with severe bronchitis. I felt awful for her, but was SO glad she was there. We goofed off and spent a few days together before my brother, his girlfriend at the time, and his daughter came to join us. I hadn't seen my niece since Christmas and is was awesome to see her again. Children grow up SO fast! I couldn't believe how big she had gotten! She's talking and walking and has all kinds of personality!
It rained one day so we decided to take a trip to the Virginia Aquarium. What a great time that was! Elizabeth absolutely loved all of the sea life and it was a lot of fun watching her interact with the different exhibits! Enjoy some of the pictures I took!

Lizzie wasn't afraid of anything! She cried when we had to leave the petting area!Turtles!HAMS :)My brother is a nerd!

Hope you enjoyed our trip to the aquarium! I hope to be back soon with more adventures!

Blogging is Hard to Do

I haven't blogged in a long time and I'm sorry to those of you who actually read this. It's been a busy year and blogging hasn't been on the top of my priority list.

I am no longer a Navy Wife. I guess I should start a new blog, but I think I'm too lazy for that sort of thing. My husband got out of the Navy in September. He is now a full time student at ODU. He should be finishing up his Civil Engineering degree next Spring. He's working REALLY hard to finish up.

I have been teaching. Teaching, teaching, teaching. I started a program at school called Read 180 this year. A lot of work and time, but the kids really loved it and grew a lot in their reading.

More to come at a later date.

Piggy Paint Review/Giveaway: Breast Cancer Awareness Edition

Stay-at-home-mom Melanie Hurley created Piggy Paint for two fashion forward daughters.

“One day while we were painting nails over a foam plate, my daughter dropped a glob of her solvent-based polish onto the plate. Shortly after, the paint began to bubble and “ate” through the plate. I looked in dismay at the hole in the plate and decided to test all of her other “kid” polishes o

n the foam. Within minutes, ALL of the solvent-based polishes began to bubble and eventually left big holes in the plate. From that day on, I decided that any flammable substance that could eat through foam was unacceptable for my children’s fingernails, which would inevitably end up in their mouths.“

Why is Piggy Paint the best choice for your little girl?

• Non-toxic
• Odorless
• Water-based formula
• Hypoallergenic
• Fun, vibrant colors
• Dries to a hard, durable finish
