One Week?!?!

Can that really be?! I only have SEVEN more days til Camryn's 1st birthday bash, really?! I just can't believe it. I am usually so prepared but this year for some reason I am so behind! It must be because there are two kiddies instead of just one... who knows?!? Or could it be my procrastinating.... This was a bad week for all the new shows to start up. The tv has literally sucked me in!

The hubby is working late tonight so that means when the girls go to bed I'll be working away at birthday party projects. Oh yeah and did I tell you I decided to have a kids Halloween Costume party at the end of October, I have lost my mind, haven't I? I thought it would be fun for the kids to dress up and party but wasn't really thinking about the preparation... yikes! So any Halloween party ideas would be greatly appreciated :-) The ages range from 1 to 6 years old.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! We have a busy one planned, as always :-) Happy FRIDAY!!! Woot woot!

Quiet Week. . .

It's actually been kind of quiet around here the past few days. Other then drop offs and pick ups to school, we've been laying low. Camryn newest adventure is crawling the staircase. Yup the ENTIRE staircase! And she is quite fast! Since that is her new fascination, our house is decked out with baby gates everywhere. I keep forgetting we have them up and I keep tripping over them or walking right into them, oops! This is going to take a little getting use to.

Payten is doing great at school. Today we are going to experiment with her wearing undies for the first time to school instead of pull ups. So we packed a few extra pairs of clothes just in case. She has been doing great potty training but I want her to be completely potty trained soon since she already gets the gist of it.

My evenings have been consisting of working out at the gym and finishing up birthday party projects. It feels so good to be checking things off the list. The tissue paper wreaths are complete. Tonight I will be working on finishing the tissue paper flowers. The project list is actually coming to an end, Hallelujah!

Last week I signed back up for the gym. With my new schedule there is no reason why I can't go in the evenings. I joined after I had Payten and I was in awesome shape and now its 11 months after Camryn and I am so out of shape! Since there will be no baby Hogan #3 here (not that we have planned), its time to get my butt in gear and get back to the old Tiffany. And I think its actually working, a week into it and I have already lost 2 lbs, woot woot!

Hope everyone is having a great week and don't forget to enter The Life of Rylie.. and Bryce too awesome giveaways!

1st Birthday Party Planning - Invitations

Camryn's 1st Birthday party planning has begun, well actually I started it a few weeks ago but everything is finally coming together. I have had a million ideas in my head. But this week I finally started to test them out.

First thing first... The invitations! Which I love so very much! I ordered them from Etsy seller LePoppyDesign. She did an amazing job! As you can see the theme for Camryn's 1st Birthday is Sweet Shop! I never knew that there were so many ideas with this theme. But with lots of internet searching we have lots of cute details. But of course we'll keep them for another post. :-) Stay tuned to a month long of birthday party planning.

Random Things. .

Can you believe tomorrow is September 1st? Isn't that just crazy? Where did the summer go? Although living in Florida we have another two months, at least, of our summer but I still can't believe that Christmas will be here in FOUR months! Every year I say I am going to start my shopping early and have it finished by November 1st and of course it never happens. And its pretty safe to say it won't be happening this year either. :-(

Camryn's 1st Birthday party is coming super fast! October 2nd is just a month a few days away! I started a few months ago gathering ideas and now I am finally starting to implement them! Everything always sounds so great in your head but when you start putting it together, its like wow what have I gotten myself into. LOL. I really need to create a checklist. It would make things a little bit easier on me, but who knows if I will actually get around to that. Invitations have been ordered, received, addressed.. now they are just waiting on stamps. Oh how I hate the post office! Last night I worked with my friend Kim on a highchair banner and some cute little accents for some decor. Did I tell you how much I love the Cricut? I want one so very bad! That would be a awesome Christmas present from Santa (wink wink). My other friend Dana is coming on Friday to help start on the tissue paper wreaths and tissue paper flowers. I am so excited! I promise I will post pictures and there will be lots of posts about the birthday party progress.

Payten finally did it... She didn't cry when her Daddy dropped her off at school today. Woo hoo! Now lets hope she can keep this up. Because it really breaks his heart to see her cry. Daddy's are such softy's :-)

It's a crazy week around here. Getting things packed for our mini beach vacation, and when I mean things I mean like the ENTIRE house, haha. We figured since its a long weekend we would make it even longer and enjoy a little getaway. I am really looking forward to just hanging out on the beach and relaxing, lets just hope these hurricanes stay away!!!

Did anyone watch the Bachelor Pad last night? I know I am confessing to watching that reality TV junk, but how can you not love people making themselves look like fools? It is pure entertain. Haha. I can not believe Dave went against his word and voted off Krisily. Typical guy not being trustworthy. Ugh! Okay enough about my reality tv addiction. Hope everyone is having a great week!

Help me decide!

We are starting to plan Camryn's 1st Birthday party! With only 2 1/2 months to go, I want to get the ball rolling. I hate doing things last minute and rushing.

We will be having her party at our house but we thought we would rent a bounce and/or slide for the older kids. But this where you guys come in.. Please help me decide. I have no idea which one I think will be the most fun. There ages range from 8 to 1. Just a bounce house, a slide, or a combo? If anyone has an input on these please feel free to share. Thank you so much!
