Sunkissed by Influenster!

Ahhh I am beyond excited to receive my second voxbox in the mail today since joining influenster last month! This box really couldn't have come in a better time! I actually have one of my best friend's bachelorette party this weekend and all this fun stuff inside is going to surely come in handy with a night out dancing and a fun day in the sun! Stay tuned for my reviews for each product. =)

Here is a sneak peak of what was inside my Sunkissed voxbox.....

Happy 27th Birthday Dan!

Holy moly, I can't believe the "boy next door" who I fell in love with over 10 years ago, is now 27!!! Crazy how time flies when you're having fun! This bday was extra special for Dan because he got to celebrate it being a daddy this year!

Dan started his day going out in the AM to play some basketball with his buddies and then out for some yummy lunch for his favorite, Japan Inn. After lunch, he decided he wanted to do a little shopping and get this, he wanted to buy Logan new shoes and said "he didn't want anything for himself but would rather buy stuff for Logan". How amazingly humble is he? Oh and then when we returned home, he even decided to mow the lawn!! Can we say "hard worker"?!?! He didnt even want to take a break on his bday.This man is the best and he simply amazes me with what a great husband and father he has become!

Later on, I surprised him with having a bunch of family and friends over for some yummy dessert and drinks. Btw, we had soooo many people bring drinks that we have enough beer for another party lol (see pics below). We feel blessed that we had such a great group of friends who were there by Dan's side to celebrate with him. We all got chocolate wasted lol. Especially, with my Slutty Brownies I made! Thanks Pinterest!!!

Then Sunday, we decided to take a drive up to Boynton Beach to visit Dan's cousin Sean. He had just had arm surgery a few days before so we didn't get to see him for Dan's birthday. We saw his new place and then met up with Dan's parents for some Jaxons. Logan got to experience his first of many visits there. He even sampled all the yummy ice cream and food. Then it was time to return home and get ready to watch the Heat game. Thank goodness they won bc the last game they lost put Dan in a mood, so I love seeing him happy. Just three more to go for the championship! ;)

10 Months Old!

So here we are....10 months ago I gave birth to this amazing, sweet, and fun little boy. He has officially been in this world longer than he was inside my belly. That is surreal to even think about! Time has just flown by and in just 2 short months, my little man will be turning 1! Holy crap!

I am loving watching Logan grow from my little baby to an adventurous little toddler these days! He really is changing by the second and learns something new each day. His new tricks that he has picked up this past month are giving kisses on demand, shaking his head no, standing on his own, dancing to songs and waving bye bye to everyone who leaves. He is also trying to say words, such as book, ball, and Dan said he heard him say turtle during bath time one night. He is incredibly smart and I literally feel overwhelmed with a feeling of proud everytime he learns something new.

Oh and he is also learning how to test my buttons and explore his limits, which is challenging at times but I am staying firm with him. He has this adorable smile everytime he does something he is not supposed to do and cracks up. His new thing is blowing his food out of his mouth and making a mess when he starts to get full and then shoots this gorgeous little smile at me like "Ain't I cute?". Here comes the life with a toddler! ;)

 Here are some outakes to show you my little guy in action of becoming a toddler ;)

Happy Mother's Day!

I'm a little late with this post bc we had a super busy and fun filled Mother's Day weekend with this handsome guy!

First off on Saturday, Dan took Logan and myself to lunch at one of our favorite places to eat, Japan Inn. Then we ran a few errands and came home for a quick and much needed nap. We woke up and did some fun DIY Mother's Day projects. After that, Dan gave me the night to go shopping (baby free) as an early Mother's Day gift. What a difference it was to shop by myself! I mean don't get me wrong, I love going out with Logan but I've learned that shopping has to be done QUICK and plenty of times I have to skip the whole "trying on stuff" and just buy it and hope for the best. So you can imagine how nice it was for me to get the night to myself to shop as long as I needed! I ended up getting some super cute stuff for Mother's Day! I ended up getting a new bathing suit (which was much NEEDED bc my old tops looked ridiculous on me!), 2 dresses, a cute blouse, and a pair of jeans. I have to mention that they were all on sale and I had a 20 percent off friends and family coupon, so that made me a happy camper!

As for Sunday, we got up, fed Logan and I was surprised with my favorite flowers, Peonies! We got dressed for the day and then stopped at Dunkin Donuts for our new obsession, iced coffee, and grabbed a quick bite at Mc D's for some breakfast.

Then we headed to the beach. It was so nice out! We ended up going to the usual resort pool at the beach bc its so much tamer for Logan, compared to the ocean's waves. Mommy got to get her tan on bc I'm beyond pale these days, while Dan and Logan were in the pool learning some water safety tips that our friend Mariah taught us. It was pure perfection of a morning! Then we headed home to get dressed and go out to dinner with Dan's parents.

Overall, my first Mother's Day was amazing! I would like to thank my wonderful hubby for making the day so amazing! He is just so sweet and thoughtful!

I just wished I could have seen my mom and grandma but things happen and we are going to go out together some time this week to celebrate bc after all, Mother's Day shouldn't be celebrated just 1 day! Shout out to you guys, I love you so much and look forward to celebrating with you!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day! :)
