Spend the Day with Us!!!!

I always love my fellow Momma blogger's post about their usual day to day life so I thought I would try to document a usual day for us. Actually this was more of a productive day because I actually got both of us dressed and out the door to go pick up my Mom from the airport but pretty much a usual "day in the life" with Harps and I!

We wake up around 730-8 every morning and go upstairs for play time and coffee time! My lifelines in the a.m.

9 a.m.- Harper eats breakfast. Usually fruit or waffles. Today was blueberries in my vintage barney bowl! a 23 year old bowl :)

9:30-10 a.m.- Harper goes down for her morning nap which lasts anywhere from an hour or two. This pic cracks me up with her pants falling off! LOL! (please do not notice the stained crib sheet, so embarrassing but hey, it is what it is).

Mommy's breakfast. I know, so healthy.

I can't believe I am posting this but hey its real life and I took a shower and washed my hair so it should be documented. Eeeek!

I sit in bed and put makeup on. I know its weird but I have always done this and its relaxing for me. See that little mirror on top of my powder? That is my HUGE mirror I use to put my face on! HA! Does anyone else do this?

Around noon- Harper is up from her nap and we eat lunch. Turkey, cheese, puffs, and oyster crackers. p.s. I have no idea why those bunny ears are on the back of her high chair but I'm assuming it has something to do with her silly grandpa.

Mommy's lunch. Frozen pizza. Oh yum....

And of course a Coke in my Starbucks tumbler. I am a coca cola feen. Its bad I know...

1:30 p.m.- A little pant less playtime in baby land before we head to the airport.

2:30 p.m.- And we're off to pick up Grandma!! She usually takes her afternoon nap around this time but she does fine without it (for the most part.) Britax Carseat 

Car selfie. lololol. I hate taking selfies. (Notice all those horn hairs...OMG. I never noticed how bad they were until this pic. Probably because I usually rock a middle part. yikes...)

3:30 p.m.- Picked up Grandma from the airport and of course H got a present!

5:30 p.m.- Winding down at home with the grandparents and a crazy babe.

6 p.m.- Harps getting whiny because she missed her second nap and bedtime is soon!

6:30 p.m.- Yup. Time for a bath and night night.

6:45 p.m.- This girl loves bath time!! She throws a fit when its time to get out.

7:30 p.m.- Harps is out for a few hours...

And now I get a few hours to myself to edit shoots and eat! LOL. I only get to eat when she is sleeping otherwise I have to share everything and I do not want to share my chips or cookies ;)

I know, isn't our life so interesting?!? ;)

This just TOTALLY speaks to me!

So glad this week is over! I don't even know where to begin because usually our weeks are always the same, we nanny, come home, I do a few photo sessions a week and then we have a fun weekend of either relaxing or doing something fun but this week was different... 

First off, last Saturday Nick and I went out to dinner and drinks with our good friends but it turned into us going a little cray with the drinks lol! Ok not really but for us because we never go out or drink 5 beers and a couple cocktails made for a hellish hangover the next day.... It was miserable. I felt so bad for Harper because I laid on the couch in pain all day and she played so nice all day. She is amazing!! Then came Monday... I woke up with a terrible sore throat, got worse all day, came down with a nasty fever and by 5 I was crying to my mom on the phone to get me meds now!! (Your never too old for your mom!) My step dad is luckily a PA so he got the antibiotic and pain relievers flowing and I was hoping to feel better by the next day but wasn't so I had to let my nanny family know I wouldn't make it because I was sick and I didn't want their baby to become sick obviously. I felt so much better by the end of the night, thank goodness! Then came Wednesday... I have been nannying a 5 month old baby since April and Harps would come with me but after some evaluating our happiness (I wrote out the whole story but it felt wrong, its been a real downer and stressor in my life the last couple of months) I will just make it short and sweet, I am a full time SAHM again and I am so much happier to be home full time and now I can totally focus on my photography business and of course my most important job, Harper's Mommy!! 

We've had a busy/lazy weekend of photo shoots and relaxing at home because Daddy had to work and Grandma is out of town so we are bored but she will be back tomorrow! Yay!!

I am so excited to be able to blog more regularly too. I am already planning a "spend the day with us" post for tomorrow! Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

This is why you cannot trust men to take pictures... He couldn't even get out of his chair to snap it! Ugh..

This girl LOVES quesadilla's! Just like Mommy!

My  e v e r y t h i n g !!!!! 

A quiet time within the mess....

La Mesa again Momma... Yup, like twice a week ;)

She is so good at sleeping in her crib now. Last night she didn't wake up till around 3 a.m. and that was because I was just checking on her and she heard the door. So proud!

Here comes the princess!!

Harp's 2nd Trip to the Zoo!

On Saturday we went to the Zoo!! Again, for the second time in like a month woooo. Nick's company had a picnic at our zoo and we all got in for 10 dollars which is 30 dollars cheaper than normal which is a total score and they had food for us which is a double score for not having to spend a ridiculous amount of money on nasty food! But the cherry on top was that Nick got the day off from work to take us and it was a special Saturday because he usually works every weekend so we loved the extra day of all being together!! I love this guy so much. He puts up with my picture taking shenanigans and pushes the completely overly packed stroller and chases Harper around so I can take my pics. He's the bestest and I love him so!

So proud of Daddy for taking pics of us. ;)

Her cheeks!!

Lazy Weekend, Teething {sucks}, Thrush, and Dreams.

Another lazy weekend, oh I love you very much! It feels good to not have to go anywhere, do anything, and just be a complete bum. We have also been battling the ugly teething monster and now I think I might have thrush... (Does anyone have any experience with thrush? HELP) Never thought I would be buying nipple cream after a year of breastfeeding but I did and Harper and I are both in extreme pain. She is cutting four or five teeth all at once and it is breaking my heart. Her first two teeth came in suddenly and individually and never seemed to cause her any discomfort. Now these hellions are causing chaos to my sweet girl and I cant wait for this teething crap to be over... She has been given daily doses of Tylenol to help ease the pain and we try to just distract her when we see her getting uncomfortable (which turns on and off in an instant). Poor baby. Praying this is over soon.

 I have also been busy setting up photo sessions with my friends and setting up a website/blog for my photography. I hope my business dreams pan out so that I can be a WAHM and have the best of both worlds.

Trying to distract pain with pretty breakfast ;)

This picture breaks my heart. I hate seeing her in pain. I just happened to catch this when I was trying to distract her with some selfies; my poor sweet girl, I wish I could take all your pain away \:(

For some reason I love this picture. I have always wanted to capture a moment of our special time together nursing to look back on and remember how amazing this time was. Its ironic how I could be in so much pain because of it but the pain is temporary, the bond is forever.

And I caught a happy girl! Oh I love her so.  Me holding my baby and my baby holding her baby.
PS- its extra hard to get a good pic of us, especially when its a self timer, grab the baby and pose. ;) This is real life.

   

My sweet fur baby Bella was my test shoot last night. I am doing a couple shoot with their dog tonight so I needed a little model. She sure is a good looking furry model. xoxoxo
