Daddy !

Let's say "Hi!" to our favorite person ever really quick. Daddy, Da Da, Pop, Hubby - you get the point.   I will attempt to make this as brief as possible ! This is my husband. We're pretty young to be married (20 & 21), but who puts time on love anyways ? I mean who's really in charge of saying when or WHO you have to marry. We're pretty private, which I appreciate now because before it wasn't like that (partially my fault). I've learned to love our privacy, I honestly don't want people knowing how we are, how we're doing, etc. He's made my life - a life. I was in such a broken state when we started getting close and he literally lifted me up with his bare hands and helped me believe in things.. people again. No one will ever fully understand the immense amount of love he's given me. If I had to draw a picture to show it, it would probably be a picture of a big, cheesy, heart with those crappy glitter crayons that don't really color (kindergarten problems). 

Random pointless fact: Domo named Adrian, months before he was born also. I just took part with his middle name, "Laith" which means Lion in arabic, which is ALSO daddy's favorite animal. 

What's this sign he's holding up you ask? It's not a gang sign - chill out for a sec. My man is a KRUMPER. This is the sign for his dance fam. His dance name is "Priest", I highly suggest typing in "Priest krump" into YouTube if you're confused. The dance was created by Chez aka Tight Eyez. They were "Street Kingdom" on ABDC if you remember. Please keep Chris Brown out of your mind when you think of "krump" now. Anywho, this is his LIFE . I respect this dance so much, it's so technical and full of power. My man is BUCK (had to throw that word in here somewhere). 

^ "I don't have to go potty daddy, I just want to sit and think right now," 

Anyone else's todd like sitting on the potty just to sit ? 

I ended last night drinking this lovely pineapple soda with some pizza ! Not delivery.. Dijorno (spellcheck me ?) This pretty much tastes like Pineapple fanta, but I couldn't resist this fancy name/bottle. I'm such a visual person it's sad, if it's pretty I'll buy it ! 

& that's it ! I'm sleepy again, I keep waking up early - I'm going back to sleep . Or attempting at least .. 

Have a blissful day! xo

It's still morning ?

I can't believe it's only 10:10am. I'm usually just waking up around 11, and wanting to go back to sleep by 2 o'clock ! I feel obsessed posting another post in the same day, but it's my blog and I don't care - it's for me, no one else. Ugh.. Adrian needed a bath this morning, usually I like giving them to him at night but he had a MEAN poop, the smell wouldn't leave his bottom. So off in the shower he went, and boy did he crack up when he had to get his feet washed. I'll never get tired off his innocent, loud, vibrant laugh. 

I've been meaning to get some Aveeno lotion for this todd. Johnson's doesn't cut it - it doesn't moisturize correctly. It's literally just lotion, and that's it. Anyone else agree ?

^ Oh hey, I'm a photographer now because I've taken a picture without my face, just so you can see my big camera in a dirty mirror. *sarcasm ends here* I don't want to be a photographer - at all. I just like capturing photos of things I love. 

You would think someone was standing in the direction he's looking in. Nope, just him thinking of a master plan. "Oh, I can drive my car on top of my crib next, mom !"

Well that's it for my posts, I don't want to bore you - whoever you are reading, to death. I think people thought I was kidding when I made a posts about playing Legos. Nope ! I am a fan of Lego games, and there was so many good reviews on this one. I feel like such a nerd .. my cheeks are slowly turning pink as I'm writing this. Okay, I'm leaving now *slowly exists out nearest door* Hashtag, "LegoLover" 

Have a blissful day !! xo 

Hello, Sir Adrian

Last night my one year old calmed his evening watching Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, dinner AND dessert (couldn't help myself). I wanted to take a brief moment to talk about pacifiers. Adrian's almost two (June 11)  and occasionally picks this thing up and uses it. It's almost as if he uses it because it's there, 99.9% of the time he's happy without it, goes to sleep perfectly fine, he's not dependent on it - and never was, we just chose to give it to him. I don't know if it's really true that pacifiers mess up their teeth, but I don't let him use it to his advantage because I don't like the idea of him becoming dependent  on an item, and not being able to self soothe at this age. I think it's more of me who can't throw it away yet because it's still slightly cute to see him look like a baby again, but I'm comforted knowing that he doesn't need it at all. *attempts to throw away pacifier* Yeah.. mommy's just not ready.

 Adrian usually sleeps anywhere between 8-11 hours. He definitely takes up after me, I could sleep for a whole day if someone let me. Daddy originally woke up with him this morning, fed him a banana and gave him apple juice in this really cool cup. I love how if I'm still sleeping, Domo will just take Adrian - no questions. This little guy wanted to say "Hi" to mommy this morning & this is what he does once he gets in the bed ! Guess I should get up and start my day to, last day off and I don't want to waste it !

Have a blissful day ! xo

The Little Things

It felt incredibly good waking up this morning. The sun was shining perfectly through my window, I should've took a picture (lazy ole me). I didn't think that colors could alter your mood, I am a firm believer in that now. The brightness of my room gives me this comforting feeling now, I just want to sit in it all day... Anywho, today we had to pick up Adrian from his granny's. I was to excited to see those fat cheeks again ! When we got there, we saw him peeking through the window. We waved at him, and continued to walk towards the door. Next thing we know he runs away from the window & we can hear him crying from outside. Poor thing started crying once we left his vision ! It was the cutest/saddest moment ever ! Lol.

^ I am IN LOVE with the new car seat we got yesterday. You know you're a mom when you're excited about new carseats ... I'm not ashamed ! :) He didn't quite know how to get into yet like his other one, but I think he likes it (fell asleep in 2.5 seconds). Adrian didn't eat lunch yet, so we decided to get something quick. Jason's deli it was! 

Domo got this new cuban melt thingy, it looked like a regular sandwich to me ! I had to have him explain every layer of it, I guess it's the "sauce" that makes it "cuban". We both got seafood gumbo, it's not the greatest - but it does everything for me ! 

I got the New York Yankee. I'm so obsessed w/ the corn beef overload & the spicy mustard it's not even funny. I totally wish I could eat this everyday without any consequences.

Adrian had the grilled cheese kids meal, with "organic apple juice" & "organic apples" . I didn't know if it was really organic or not.. but HEY, he loved it !!

& then this happened... makes me want to curl in a ball & hug myself (mom problems). I just love how close & involved they are, there's nothing like it. The immense amount of love he shows his daddy is just unbearable for my sappy heart. 

 We're back home and I finally lit my "Pink Magnolia" candle from Target, I am IN LOVE with this scent. I highly recommend it if you love fresh, not to strong smells. I'm not a fan of deep scents. This is perfect, I don't care how much it was I would've bought 1,000 of them if I could.

Have a blissful evening ! xo

Early Spring Cleaning & Date Night

I wasn't to confident about how yesterday was going to pan out. My husband and I made a list in our heads of all the things we needed to do, it was a blessing his granny took our son, Adrian, for the day & also the night (fist pump). I am so pleased with how PERFECT the day went, it felt unreal. For the first time, I didn't mention missing our baby boy! I genuinely enjoyed my day alone with my husband. I can't help but feel selfish when I'm enjoying myself without my son along, but I realized that every mom needs a moment to herself. As mothers we get so involved with our children, we're so in love with those little faces we forget about our happiness.  

My random bathroom that's slowly coming together. I'm inspired by the "rustic" , non-matching theme. The bathroom should be a refreshing place, not a dungeon :)

My favorite thing bought yesterday. Surprisingly I wasn't the one who picked it out ! Reading this makes me happy, there is truly no place like home & I want my family to stand for this ! 

^ I opted for a smaller shoe rack because I honestly didn't believe we needed one with 10 slots. *cough* Clearly should've gotten it because I couldn't get rid of any shoes. I'm a hoarder ! :(

It's been forever since my husband and I have been out on a night alone, just the two of us. No kids meal, request of a high chair, "Oh babe, he's spitting his food out!", or being more interested in coloring with cheap crayons than your one year old. 

Hubby trying to work this manual focus. 

 Clearly taking pictures of me are more interesting than finishing wings.

Have a blissful day !! - Ris xo
