# 1

So a couple posts back I wrote a list of my current goals. I did not get a chance to elaborate on how I was going to reach them, so today I thought I would share the ways I plan to accomplish the first on my list.
                                                          1.BE A GREAT BLOGGER
 I really want to reach people and be heard, so this goal is very important to me. I figure the best way to be a fantastic blogger, is follow advice from bloggers who are already established. I have been reading a lot of different blogs and found This one and another Great one, that both offer up some great advice. 

The  list above from The Thinking Closet is super fantastic! 
Number 5 really resonates with me! In order to complete any of my goals I need to get up and live the life I want! How else will I have anything to share? Now I can't wait to start following through with all 
the pins I have pinned on Pinterest! 


 
Speaking of that little devil, I found this on Pinterest and fell in love! Thanks Utahsweetsavings! I want to live my life this way and the time is now. 


Another tip that I keep running across in my research is to be more social. This seems like it would be a no brainer since I am blogging all about my life, how much more social can it get? However, I need to be more social on other blogs. I guess just reading and laughing is not really going to get me noticed as a fellow blogger or as a good fan!  I now know I need to invite others to guest post, comment on their posts, and link Party! I have not done much of any of those so I will be working on that! 


So other then doing some research from other bloggers, living more of life, and being more social, I think I will also take a photography class and maybe even a blogging E-Course! Knowledge is power as they say, so I wan't to learn as mush as possible. I believe these are all the best steps towards accomplishing my goal and can't wait to take them! Hope this helps others start thinking about what they want out of life and the ways they can get it.

MOM

Being a mom is the best! Now being a mom to two crazy little girls is even better! I  swore while pregnant with M that I wanted a boy, but looking back I can see that I was so wrong! I am meant to be a mom of girls and J was meant to be a daddy of girls. I love playing dress up, dolls, and curling up watching princess movies! These things never seem to get old to me! I am so blessed that every day I get to see these two little sweetie pies together! I love that H is so happy to be a Big Sister and I love watching M's face light up when H is playing with her.

She is always such a happy little camper! So in love with her!



I have been practicing braiding H's hair. As a mom of little girls I feel it is my duty to know how to at least french braid. My first attempts were disasters, then I came across a great Hair Tutorial that made it easy to understand what I was doing. I still need a lot of practice but I will get there. I am a Determined mommy!

This weekend we got to be extra girly as our BX had a grand opening of the new Disney section. There was a costume contest so both of the girls got to dress up. H loved that she got to get her face painted and the fact that it was Ariel was probably the best moment of her life. 
Even with all of our Girly tendencies we still decided that camping in the backyard was a must! J was such a good sport sleeping in the tent with H all night. M and I had to miss out on that part as it was just too cold for her. Next time when it is warmer we will all go and might even go farther then our backyard!

BUSY!

So have not had a chance to post anything since we were super busy last week. First, my Mom and I went to Vintage Warehouse. This place is a Shabby Chic chicks paradise! I wanted to buy EVERYTHING! Unfortunately, we did not have enough room in the car or I would definitely have walked out with one of these dressers!
 
I would love to use one like this in our living room for the Tv. We could put all our movies in the drawers! 
I LOVED this one. Not only did we not have enough room in the car, but someone had already Found it first. I was mad! ;)  I could see this in M's nursery it would have been gorgeous! 

J also came to pick us up, and we decided to stay for a few more days.
We took the girls to the beach and H had a blast looking for treasure in the sand. 


Monday was our 7 year wedding anniversary, so we celebrated by taking our girls and our nephew to Chuck E Cheese! They were so funny riding this simulated roller coaster! We all had a blast and loved they got to celebrate some with us. 
Afterwards, my Mom and sister watched the kids so we could get dinner together. 
We went to the Melting Pot which was super romantic. 
 
When we arrived J had made sure that there were Beautiful roses on the table for me. We had incredible food and an incredible waitress! She was such a sweetheart. 
 
Even our dessert plate was made special for us! I would totally recommend going back for a special occasion! 
On Saturday we left to go back home. We celebrated Mother's day once we got home, J picked up yummy food from Mac Grill and I got to rest peacefully! Which is just what this Mommy needed! 


Have to say I am the luckiest Mom in the world with these two beauties!

Setting the tone.

 Since my blog is going to be mostly about achieving success in everything I set out to do, I thought writing down my goals would probably be a good idea!


Of course by the time I got H & M in bed I was too tired to search all over the place to find a pen. Am I the only one who buys a million pens but can't ever find the?  So like any other mother I used the box of crayons H had laying around.

 
I am a list person so writing it all down in a pretty notebook is what I have to do. Its hard to see the crayon so below is a list you can actually see. 

1.BE A GREAT BLOGGER
2. LOSE THE WEIGHT
3. SAVE MONEY
4. BE MORE HANDS ON WITH THE GIRLS
5. GROW MY PINK PAPAYA BUSINESS AND BE SUCCESSFUL

I know that with a little dedication, education, and hard work I can accomplish these. All these goals are important to me and I know will make me happier and feel better about my life. After all, this is what I wanted to accomplish with this blog! So I think the first step is to make another list of all the things I need to do to accomplish each of my five goals. I'll probably start that list tomorrow. After I go to Walmart and buy another pack of pens! Oh and maybe some cute stationary too, or just the pens, After all I need to start saving money! 
Have a great weekend all see you Monday!

PINK!!!!!

So had my first Perfectly Posh and Pink Papaya party on Friday! It was a huge success and im super proud! Unfortunately, I will only be selling Pink from now on. Perfectly Posh does not allow its consultants to sell from another direct sales company that has similar product, and I am ROCKING being Pink so Im going to keep at it. However, if your in the need for some Perfectly Posh I can recommend a few ladies, especially if your over in Germany!

 I can not wait to share all pinks amazing products with more people! I was able to score this adorable tub from Marshalls for $11.99 and it just makes the cutest hand washing station! At the party everyone was encouraged to sample Pinks amazing hand combo. First, you use the Cranberry Orange hand scrub to get all the dead and dry skin off your hands and then you use the Cranberry Orange hand cream to keep them silky soft! ?Not only does it make your hands feel amazing but they smell amazing too! This is definitely one of my favorite items and sells itself!
 All this makeup is by Pink Papaya too and all came in my kit! I just love makeovers so definitely enjoying sharing all these goodies with friends and family!

I especially love that H has so much fun seeing me do my "job"! Love that I now have something I enjoy and do not have to worry about the girls needing daycare or anything. Never will I have to miss a play date, teatime, or bedtime snuggles! 
Want to test out some Pink Papya yourself? Follow me on Facebook and message me about hosting a party! 
Other then hosting the party my weekend was a bit boring. Now were gearing up for J to come and get us to go back to Germany! Not to mention Monday will be our 7 year Anniversary! YIKES! LOL
