TRANSITION : High Chair to Big Boy Table

Hope everyone is doing well ! I have had a fun past two days spending lots of time with my little man! This past weekend was a easy one for me since I just finished a module at school and don't have any school work or studying to do. 

On Friday we went to visit a friend of mine who has a daughter who is only a couple of days older then Deen. They had a blast to say the least. While there it hit me ... Deen really enjoys being able to sit at his own little table! So I decided to go on a hunt for a cute set! 

Now I went online a checked out toy r us.. they had some cute ones so I thought I would go check it out in store. Sadly they only had one option which was tinkerbell .. and well I couldn't do that! My next option was walmart but they failed me too! I did however pick up a cute mat set there! We then stopped by ikea where I found a cute little table and some cute chairs that went perfectly together. I am very happy with the little set up and Deen loves it! 

I put the set up all together while he was napping... so when he woke up we came downstairs and the smile on his face was just priceless!! He ran over and sat down asking for "Mam mam" (food/dinner/lunch) .. Then also pointing to the other chair asking me to sit .. I told him mommy could not sit cause she wouldn't fit! But, his mickey mouse stuffy sure could! So he was happy then. I then went and for him a banana to snack on till dinner. Well that was great but he informed me that mickey needed something to eat also! Such a sweetheart he is!  

Growing Pains - Mommy Why Don't You Understand Me?

So I would like to introduce you to a what i am going to try make a weekly post .. I must say I love the idea of "Reasons My Son Is Crying" tumbler page! (If you haven't seen her page check it out it is cute!) So as suggested by a close friend I thought I would take my own little spin on it and create a "Growing pains" weekly post which will consist of well the hardships my son and I faced ... I will do my best to back up my story with some great photos ^_^ .. Along with the hardships there are going to be good times so I will also share a few of those in these posts! So here we go with the moments I captured the last few days ...

Top left to right ...

-- I wouldn't let him have a fruit roll up for breakfast ..
Funny enough I never buy them! I am sending them over seas for a friend! He somehow sniffed them out .. and I now need to buy more * Deen 1 - Mommy 0 *

-- I wouldn't put on his jacket?
For once it was a fair day outside and I thought okay lets put a nice lightish jacket on you! As you can see he is wearing it ... He insisted he needed to put on his JACKET... So we ended up with our heavy winter coat! *Deen 2 - Mommy 0*

-- I wouldn't let him climb to get onto the chair he oh so sweetly placed in the most dangerous way possible.
What can I say it wasn't going to happen. *Deen 2 - Mommy 1*

Well looks like I did alright this time around! Saying no is so difficult to these little ones but, it is a must!

Now for the cute/fun times...

-- Put his hat on PROPERLY all by himself!
He was a happy camper or should I say I was ? ... For some reason he can never get his hat on the right way Ernie always seems to be on the back of his head!! Oh but, not this time!

--Helped daddy fix his car.
Well he would be all over getting a license if it was possible! He just loves helping daddy with the cars and pretend driving!

-- New Umbrella!
He was a very good boy at the shoe shop and well got this umbrella as a treat. Mommy wasn't to thrilled with him having it opened indoors not only for safety but ITS BAD LUCK! ..

What hardships have you faced this week with your children? 

Pampered Mommy = Scary Monster

I think we can all relate to that feeling of "I NEED TO BE PAMPERED!" or "LET ME HAVE A MINUTE TO MYSELF" ...  Well it might not always be possible, so I say make the best out of the special moments you do have with you little one(s)!

I crave it every now and then which is why Deenie (Deen) and I love to have pampering time together. He loves seeing me in a the silly mask and calls me a "monster" .. It is cute. I am greatful that he he gives be this time .. and we make the best of it! While he most definetly tries to pick off the mask .. He is a good boy and listens when I ask him nicely to stop and RAWR at him like a monster!

These fun little moments are the best and well you as a mom feel relived and pampered and the little one still feels as if he is getting the attention he wants and deserves. If you little one is older you could even put a mask on them as well!

Here is a silly picture from our fun time together...

I wasn't able to smile due to the mask I apologize !

What do you do to spend time with your little one yet still get something done for yourself?

Welcome + Introduction

Hello fellow mommy's or just loving friends!

I currently was introduced to an awesome tumbler page (HERE) which had me thinking...would it not be great to start my own blog based on my experiences as a semi-new mommy :P

Many of you may know I do have a beauty blog as well as YouTube channel. My true love for all things blogging/vlogging came from the 2 years I spent at home with my son. It began as a hobby and blossomed into much more then just that! So I thought to branch out on this fun and exciting hobby!

Like I mentioned above I stayed home with my son for the first two years of his life. I have now gone back to school to pursue my education. Currently enrolled in a Medical Office Administration course which I am enjoying very much. I will be finished come this December!  This I must say has been a very big change for myself and my son trying to adjust to waking up earlier and doing a lot of traveling! I do plan to touch base on all this throughout the blogs to come.

I also became a mommy at a somewhat young age! This being said I have learned many new skills and tactics to being the best i can be by growing along side my son. I have also been through many learning experience which have shaped me into a great individual I believe. I would like to invite you all to join me on my journey through the good, bad and rough times of my mommyhood!
