In typical us fashion, the last week of July was pretty eventful. We've had the continued drama of teething, the dreaded (we-can't-put-this-off-any-longer) expense of new tires for my car and Violet's first busted lip. But hey, we've all been sleeping through the night too so that basically makes up for everything because SLEEP. We need it. We love it. Oh AND I've lost 9 lbs. over the last 3 weeks! HOLLER!

I honestly still can't believe it's already August. It's basically like the first time I'm hearing about this, I didn't even realize it until 11:30 last night. Shows how much I pay attention. And since the first order of the month (for me, at least) is to update my desktop wallpaper, I checked out some of my fave design sites for freebies this morning and these were the tops! I chose the very last one. One of my favorite quotes!

Design Is Yay

As for the first weekend of August, I'm pretty excited about it! I've got Violet all to myself while Ronnie works his 11 hour shifts Sat-Sun. Basically, he hates it and I love it. ha  Not sure what we're going to do yet but it will have to involve water considering these 100+ degree temps aren't going anywhere soon. BLEH. Come on, Fall!

 

Today's the last day to sign up for my Dr. Smiths and $50 Walgreen's gift card giveaway!

High Five For Friday

Linking up with Lauren Elizabeth today!

1. I think this kid loves the water :) Considering she haaated her bath for nearly the first year of her life, this is a welcome change. I don't even care that now she wants to sit and play in the bath every night for at least an hour.

2. Love this color, but hate the polish. Say what? Ok so it's a neon and dries as a matte (how I'm currently wearing it) BUT slap a top coat on and it only looks gorgeous for as long as you don't touch anything. I had entire nails popping off! Not literally, but the entire polish! Even as a matte, it chips immediately. However, it's top 5 worthy this week because I'm obsessed with the color. So much so that I've resorted to carrying the bottle in my purse and doing touch ups as needed (it dries super fast so that helps).  FYI: the polish is Sinful Colors - Dream On.

3. My baby brother turned 27 yesterday! And Violet finally sorta kinda likes him! High five for that! Not sure why she's so shy around men sometimes (I honestly think it's because she's so daddy obsessed that she just doesn't want any other guy around but him. ha). but slowly but surely, she's getting more comfortable. Except in this picture when she just wanted more yogurt and ain't nobody got time for pictures when there's food around ;)

4. You can't go wrong with anything Strawberry Shortcake. I get my hoarding tendencies from my mom and she's kept tons of our toys, clothes, papers, art and anything else she felt was memorable from our childhood. It used to be annoying and I'm sure my dad hates their full garage and attic but I love being able to see these things and hopefully I can pass them on to Violet one day. Whenever I can trust she won't ruin them :)

5. Now that it's the summer, my sister comes in every few weeks from college and I love seeing her with Violet. They love each other like crazy and I'm happy they at least get some time together. SHe came in last weekend and we got to spend Sunday together. We still need to make some plans to go visit her - she does live near the beach!!

So, that's been my week! We've had a whiney teething child (we're at almost a full week of awful sleep. Send help.) but we've survived. Tomorrow we have plans for another day at Sea World and I'm SO excited. I had no idea I'd love going there so much!

How has your week been?!
