My Mom

I wrote about my wedding a few days ago but I really wanted to write about my mom separately, even though if it wasn't for her, my wedding might not have even happened, nor been as beautiful as it was.

My mother is a very special person. She has such an eye for decorating. She can make a piece of paper look like a work of art, a table looked like a museum masterpiece, and a house at Christmas like a Winter Wonderland. I wish I had even 25% of her talent in that area. When I told my mom my colors would be black, white and pink, she made sure everything from that point forward matched. This includes both showers and my bachelorette party. She found tablecloths, flowers, the MOST beautiful cake. I don't even know where she finds these things, but she did. So Mother, thank you for making my wedding so beautiful!

Not only is she a wonderful decorator, but she thinks of things most people would never even think of. For example, for one of my gifts at a shower was thank you cards and stamps. Not only were these thank you cards pretty, but she also got me a "W" stamp in silver to add a little touch of personalization. She thinks of the little things, which honestly, I do not think too much of. Mother, thank you for thinking of the little things when all I was thinking of were the big things!

My mom is not only a great decorator and a thoughtful person, but she also makes sure we don't have to do alot during an already stressful event of getting married. She does the work, she puts in the effort. She was working hard for so long for my wedding because she knew I didn't know where to even begin. Mother, thank you for working so hard to make my wedding day beautiful!

Mom, I know I am not always a great daughter, I know I am not always the most thoughtful or the best at timing; I know I don't always know the right things to do or say, but I do know how much I love and appreciate you. I know how much I appreciate what you've done these last few months. I know how lucky I am to have a mother like you and how lucky I am to have a mother who loves me this much.

I love you Mom. More than you will ever know.

What is Your Skin Care Regimen?

Since turning 34 this year, I've been really trying to make sure I am taking care of my skin. I have been using Cover Girl Liquid Powder for years, but it always seemed to break my neck out. And full disclosure, my face cleaning routine consisted of using Avery's baby wipes (which actually do remove eye makeup surprisingly well). So, needless to say, my skin didn't always look its best.   So, I received some gift cards for my birthday and I decided to go ahead and spring for some better products. First thing I did was get something designed to clean my face. I ordered the Olay ProX Microdermabrasion System.     This system came with the battery-operated scrubber with both a brush and foam pad, plus every day face wash and microdermabrasion wash to be used twice a week. I have really loved using this system. The beauty is that you can really use any face wash you'd like. I will probably buy a pore-reducing wash after the tube they sent me is empty. This syst...

Why I am Pro Universal Healthcare and Changes to Our Healthcare System

Due to my recent proactivity with my credit and paying off debt, I decided to give the hospital a call where I was admitted about a month ago and ask about my bill. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the mail and I wanted to get an idea of what I'd be paying for my stay. I get on the phone with the billing department and the woman is just as nice as can be, really. She was surprised I'd even called her, considering I didn't even have a bill yet. She told me she'd sent the bill over to my insurance to be approved and paid but they hadn't heard back yet. "Just out of curiosity," I asked, knowing I would be responsible for 20% of the final bill, "how much was it?" What I heard next shocked me.   "$61,000" she said.   I said, "$61,000? I was only in the hospital for a night and only on anti-biotics, you can't be serious! My daughter cost me less than a third of that to give birth to and I was in the hospital two nights!...

Guess Who Has A New Potty???

This girl!! Jason and I took Avery to Target tonight to find a potty chair. We didn't know what kind to get. When we got there, she loved the Sesame Street one. It's the kind that sits on the toilet, not an actual chair. I've heard both reasonings on a chair and a pad for the real toilet. On one hand, the chairs are little and easier for them to sit on and they aren't scary to flush. On the other, the pad doesn't require you to have to clean out a chair and they teach kids to sit on the big potty from the get go. What it really came down to was that we just don't have a big bathroom at all, so keeping an actual chair in the bathroom would have been hard. So we got the pad. It has a little hook that you attach to the tank, so you can hang the pad on it. I love this!  I have no intention of actually potty training Avery full out, just yet. I don't think she is ready. But I have heard it's good to have one that they can practice sitting on and get u...
