:: 35 before 35 - #10 and #22


So, I completed a few more off of my 35 before 35 list.
I'm on a roll.
Have 30 more to complete.

So seriously.
Every woman needs to make one of these lists.
And then make sure you show it to your man.
Cause he might take you on a Disneyland date . . . just you and him,
and then he just might surprise you and take you to the Blue Bayou.
You've always wanted to eat there.







It might have been one of the funnest dates we've had in a long time.
We arrived around 4:30 and stayed until 10:30.
{I was exhausted - worked early that morning and had to work the next day}
Disneyland is so different when you're without kids.
And I'm proud to say that I didn't step my foot in Fantasyland.
{nothing against Fantasyland, that's just where we spend the majority of the time with the girls,
 it seems like}

Oh, and about the Blue Bayou {the restaurant in Pirates}.
The food was delicious, but was a bit pricey.
I loved the experience, but this might be just a one time thing.

:: Family Happenings - love my space rangers


The hubby is currently on his spring break.
Since we finally bought him an annual pass to Disneyland,
he decided he wanted to take Ava on a Daddy-Daughter date today.
He surprised her and said that she was so excited.

This is the picture I found in my inbox this afternoon.
I love my two space rangers.
{this is one of Ava's favorite rides, mine too}

:: Treats - leprechaun bites

I was never able to make the Christmas version or the Valentine's Day version of the Pretzel Hugs,
so I decided to make a St. Patty's Day version.
Hope you like it!


Oh, and be careful.
They're addicting.








Then let them cool and harden (can place in the fridge to speed up the process).


We made these right after Ava came home from pre-school.
She loved the idea.
AND she told me that I was the best mom ever.
{I think m&m's had a lot to do with it.}

I'll be linking to these parties here.

:: Free - iPhone wallpaper


I absolutely LOVE these free iPhone downloadable wallpaper from Sprik Space!
My iPhone is currently sporting the diagonal turquoise.
{and I was surprised how easy it was to do, too}

Happy Friday and have a great weekend!

Feeding the ducks.
Something so simple.
Yet it might be one of their favorite things to do.

:: Party Time - reese's first birthday party



Reese turned one at the end of November.
{I'm finally posting this, after 2.5 months}
We decided to have a birthday party for her in the middle of December
after my husband's finals were finished.

When I saw this vintage, rainbow hot air balloon birthday party
 that Paige of Paige of Styles did for her daughter,
I knew I had to do it too.
And since I found a great deal I was able to buy her printable party package on etsy.

We bought this book and had people write inside what they thought she'd be when she grew up.

This woman was the hit of the party.
All the kids loved their balloons that she made.

It didn't take her long to dig into this cake.

Her first year did literally fly by.
Don't know what we'd do without her.
She's such a special little girl who makes me so happy.
