Throwback Thursday!

"A" when she was 1 day old *sigh* she is such a big girl now.. where did my tiny little newborn go?!?!?!?!

Time sure does fly..... but, I'm so proud to have such an amazing beautiful daughter who never fails to make me smile! What an amazing little person she is turning out to be! she completes me :)

What i wish i could say, if only i had the balls .

” I’ve fallen for you , all of you . You amaze me , always have since the day i first got the guts to speak to you . Trust came easy with you , i told you past , my history , and you , you didn’t down me because of it . You accepted me . You listen when i speak . You care when i’m quiet because you know somethings not right . You chose your words so carefully , sure not to hurt me in the slightest . And that , that warms my hearts . Though it scares me all the same . I wish i could be with you , you’re probably the only guy i’d be willing to open my heart to after all the pain its felt . But i’ll never have you . You don’t feel same , you never will . And that in itself destroys the little soul i have left . All my hope for love , is gone . I just wish for a moment you’d give us a chance . I’d make it worth your while , i swear . But you never will , will you ? Damn . I don’t really understand why i feel this way but you worked your way into my existence now to exist without you would be false idea of my imagination .  You make me forget the boy who destroyed my world and not just because i’m looking for a healing , simply because since the day we first spoke , you … healed me . I’ve fallen hard . And i don’t expect you to feel the same but deep in my heart , god i wish you did."

"Pumpkin day"

Ever since i had "A" I've always wanted to have a "pumpkin day": Pumpkin patch, carving pumkin's & Baking Pumpkin goods such as; Pumpkin pie, pumpkin sugar cookies, Pumpkin bread & whatever else that's PUMPKIN that I can think of LOL. And now that she's 2, I thought she was old enough to know and enjoy a "pumpkin day", This was not A’s first pumpkin season. But the last 2 years she was still a "lil pumpkin" herself & I guess that really doesn’t count if she couldn't know & enjoy it. I’m sure that next year when she's even older, it'll be a blast but for this year I just wanted pictures & to let my lil girl explore & get to understand. So instead of "doing it big" at a local farm with hayrides, corn mazes and large fields with pumpkins (which is FUN by the way), I decided to just go to a local church’s pumpkin patch, which meant we also supported them && their causes =).

Notice that little bitty pumpkin in her hand??? Yeah, i ended up buying that too for her b/c she loved it sooo much she clutched onto it the ENTIRETY of the time we were there LOL

"A" and her BFF LOL tooo adorable....

BFF'S.. They are so cute together!

"hmmm, what are these mommy???....

Trying to get a pic of both Me & "A"..... TOTAL FAIL!!! She would not look up for nothing and she wasn't trying to sit, she was more interested in the pumpkins :-/ Oh well, I tried LOL

We got back home and right away I started the "pumpkin baking process". Here's "A" mixing the batch for the pumpkin pie

And did a pretty good job :))

I poured the mix into a pre-made pie crust

Then while waiting for the pie to be baked, we then started carving the pumpkins I had bought for the kids at the Church's Pumpkin patch. "A" and her cousin scooping out the insides of the pumpkin.

After all the insides where scooped out, I started the carving process by poking at it to get a look I wanted. (yes, this was my first time ever carving a pumpkin & i had a handy "carving for dummies" article which helped a lot LOL

...and I was shocked on how good they came out for a first timer ;)

the yummy pie was done......

and i threw in the pumpkin shaped sugar cookies... those were yummy also ;o)

"A" with her pumpkins

....AND FINALLY AFTER WE HAD DINNER, I THREW IN THE INGREDIENTS FOR THE PUMPKIN BREAD & HAD "A" WHIP UP THE BATCH LOL (i think she's going to be my new lil helper for now on)!!

And that basicly concluded our "pumpkin day". I was soo exhausted that i forgot to take a picture of the pumpkin bread.. but it sure was yummy ;o).

I'm thankful for being able to share this wonderful experience with my lil girl & complete with pumpkins <3 ...and i hope everyone has a great fall PEACE & LOVE

"I like it on" Facebook

Here is a peice of the article from: JackTimes.com

 "You might have noticed your female friends getting personal on their Facebook statuses recently.

Facebook initiated this fun activity in order to promote the Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The “bra color” campaign back in January was pretty successful. The recent campaign asks women to state the place where they like to put their purse when they come back to the houses. Status updates like “I Like It On The Floor,” “I like it on the kitchen counter,” “I like it on the couch,” “I like it anywhere,” has led to overburden of thoughts for the many men that are a member on the website. Messages from guys were are all around, having got the improper idea and believing something nasty was being talked about and they were being neglected".

Now, everyone is entitled to their own opinion about this but, there is NO need to bash or argue with anyone. In my opinion: "Don't judge what you don't know". This does not mean just b/c I made that "I like it" update on FB, that i'm aiming to get sexual responses or that I only support this cause one month out of the year or that i'm completely clueless on the Cause or any Causes. I myself ALWAYS makes random donations to Breast Cancer & "Make A Wish" every time i go shopping at a store, (I say: "if I have $$ to spend, then why not donate some to a good Cause").. I've basicly invested in these causes, I just don't agree with people bashing others for doing these SIMPLE FB statuses.
I'm also not sure it actually does "alienate" men. We are all talking about it, people are willing to answer when queried obviously. The point is to instigate the query itself. What about the "Movember" campaign? A wonderful idea to raise awareness for prostate cancer by way of a giant mustache growing competition, I feel neither angry nor alienated for not being able to participate. The feigned secrecy and titillating nature of the campaign is most likely designed to get YOUNG people interested in the conversation about breast cancer, as sexual innuendoes - even lightly veiled ones - always peek our interest. They are also the least likely to get screened or encourage their partners to get screened. And purses have quite a lot to do with breast cancer when you consider that the majority of breast owners are purse owners as well. Let's all smooth our feathers and remember what it is really all about...and I'll buy a comb in support of my fathers's mustache next month.

This is the message that woman throughout facebook have been receiving
"Ok ladies here's another game, like the bra color game which was a total success and we had men wondering for days what was with the colors and it made it to the News. Well this game has to do with your handbag, where we put our 
handbag the moment we get home for example "I like it on the couch", "I like it on the kitchen couter", "I like it on the dresser" well u get the idea. Just put your answer as your Status with nothing more than that and cut n paste this message and forward to all your FB female friends to their inbox. The bra game made it to the news. Let's see how powerful we women really are!!! REMEMBER - DO NOT PUT YOUR ANSWER AS A REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE, SIMPLY PUT YOUR ANSWER AS YOUR STATUS, THEN FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO YOUR FRIENDS!

Oh, and ladies, go take a BREAST EXAM.

WTH is wrong with the Duggars ?!?!?!

The Duggar Family, i'm pretty sure we all know them and their........ 19 kids!!! Seriously, what the F**k people!!! 19 Kids?? First of all, I don't think I've had sex 19 times nor would I want to be pregnant that many times. Mrs. Dugger has been pregnant now 19 times; that means she has been pregnant basically her entire adult life...holy shit!

How does she keep her sanity? I only have A Girl and I want to shove my head into the oven at least 6 times on any given day. Imagine how your life would change with that many kids. The amount of food consumed, the giant school bus you'd have to drive around, shit...you'd have enough to play a complete baseball game! The baby would just have to suck it up and play, I mean the kid's already screwed, what's a pitch to the head going to do. Being the last (hopefully) of 19 kids is going to suck. Consider the rule of three; in families of 3 kids, there is always a douche bag in there somewhere; that 19th kid is going to be a total twinkle-douche bastard...thank u Mrs. Dugger for birthing this planet's next Hitler.
...............
And finally, there's the issue of the J-Factor. All the Dugger children have names beginning with the letter J. John-David, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joseph, Josiah, Joy-Anna, Jedidiah, Jeremiah, Jason, James, Justin, Jumbo, Jettpack, Jedi-Knight, Jackson, Johannah, Jennifer, and much much more. I think they have run out of J names and are going to have a hard time nameing this next child. However, I do have some suggestions; Jewannastopgettingmepregnant, Jewannastophavingkids, or my favorite...Jewannahaveahysterectomy? Keep the barn doors closed down there in Arkansas!!! Gee Wiz!!!!

Bee mine products

I heard nothing but good stuff about Bee Mine Hair Products, so i wanted to try it out and now as a big (and fairly new) Bee Mine fan, I was surprised on how this stuff worked on mines and "A's" kinky and curly hair. Anywho… these products are awesome. It’s extremely light, something you really want in a good hair care, & their products are all Organic which is a PLUS!! I love The Balanced Creme Moisturizer the most for daily moisturizing on dry hair, once it sinks in, you have soft, lightly moisturized hair with no greasiness. The Balanced Creme Moisturizer works incredibly well, both moisturizing and softening to the hair. I used it a few times over a week and experienced no buildup (though buildup is not often a problem for me in general) and did i mention that their Deep Conditioner is also AMAZING (talk about frizz free days) :o) I will def be keeping Bee Mine Products in my hair care routine!! You can check their website out HERE

PIC BEFORE BEE MINE PRODUCTS. NOTICE HOW MY CURLS HAVE NO LIFE

PIC AFTER BEE MINE PRODUCTS

I used it on a braidout on "A'S" hair. It has pretty good detangling power, and an incredible amount of slip, and it made "A's" hair look great. Her hair is extremely frizzy and a bit damaged b/c of the "Just For Me: texturizer" crap i had put on her hair back in June (which i really do regret putting in her hair without reading the ingredients on the box or doing some research.. and finding out it was a relaxer after wards) but besides that i have been using Bee Mine Product for about 2 months now and their product been nothing more than AMAZING in both mines and "A's" haircare.

Her hair had NO FRIZZ, was incredibly soft and bouncy and no tangles <3
