<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Well friends I just received another Influenster Box. This one had three <a href="http://us.herbalessences.com/en-US/hair-care?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=herbal%20essences&utm_campaign=HE_Search_Brand+Awareness&utm_content=sllRUgOZ9|dc_44929481328_e_herbal%20essences">Herbal Essence</a> products in it. They are the new naked products: Shampoo, Conditioner, & Dry Shampoo. I jumped on trying these out right away because I LOVE me some dry shampoo! If you've never tried dry shampoo, go out now and buy some! </span></center>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Anyway, I really loved that these products didn't have some of the crazy chemicals other products have. That is definitely a plus to these products. I went ahead and tried the <a href="http://us.herbalessences.com/en-US/product-page.aspx?id=39748">Herbal Essences Naked Dry Shampoo</a> first and I LOVED it!!! It worked really well and kept my hair feeling fresh for another day. I would definitely recommend this product. So the next day I decided to go ahead and try the <a href="http://us.herbalessences.com/en-US/product-page.aspx?id=39746">Herbal Essences Naked Shampoo and Conditioner</a>. I wasn't a huge fan of the smell, but went ahead and tried it anyway. I had to wash my hair twice with the shampoo and it still didn't feel clean to me. I ended up using my normal shampoo and skipped the conditioner since I wasn't too happy with the shampoo. Now I have pretty difficult bleached hair so I'm not sure if it was my hair or the product, so feel free to go out and try it yourself. </span></center>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm a little late in sharing this with you, but I'm going with it anyway. Well let me start by saying this is not a pretty or sweet birthing story, in fact its quite the opposite. Its actually funny when you realize this little guy made quite the entrance into this world. </span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
The hubs and I decided long before the birth that we would attempt to deliver baby M without pain meds, so we took a 12 week Bradly Method birthing class. And in that class they taught us everything we needed to prepare ourselves for a birth without pain meds, HOWEVER they did not prepare me for what happens when complications arise, but in their defense how could they.</span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
On Wednesday, May 7th (3 days past my due date), I finally started having contractions. And they were decent at first. I was like oh I can totally handle this. Then around midnight we headed to the hospital, and the contractions were more intense. I'm not sure if you are aware but when you go into a hospital in labor, they make you go through the ER and then after you make sure to preregister they still make you re-register while you're having contractions. In fact I was in the middle of a contraction while the lady was trying to confirm my address. I mean really... don't they think that can wait? I'm not going anywhere until the baby comes out for goodness sake. There is PLENTY of time to confirm my address. I was not willing to have that baby in the ER. :)</span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Well we were well into 12 hours at the hospital when they told me I either needed to get pitocin to speed up the process or I needed to go home. 12 hours down, there was NO way this pregnant women was going to go through ALL of that AGAIN much less waddle herself home. So I folded and took the Pitocin and with the Pitocin came the FIRST epidural. Pitocin intensives your contractions, so there was no way this little lady was going without it, especially after feeling the first contractions with the Pitocin.</span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Baby M decided he didn't really like the Pitocin and every time they tried to increase it, he would pinch his cord and then his heart rate would drop. Already a stubborn child. ;) Since they couldn't increase my Pitocin, my contractions could not get closer together, so when it was finally time for me to push, my contractions were still 5-6 mins apart. Needless to say the pushing did not push baby M forward enough. I also started having back labor and intense contractions again. They gave me a SECOND epidural because my first one had worn off.</span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
They then discovered that baby M was stuck under my pelvis bone and he was facing the wrong way (which explains the back labor) and his head had started to swell. After 24 hours in ACTIVE labor and 2 and half hours of pushing, I was exhausted and in more pain then I could have ever imagined. They weren't sure how much longer it would be or if I could get baby M out by natural delivery since he was stuck. So we opted for a C-Section for everyone's safety and sanity.</span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
The C-Section lasted for what felt like 5 mins, but I was unable to hold baby M right away, and I didn't realize it at the moment, but baby was not crying. He had miconium stuck in his throat and they had to get it out. It took them almost 10 full mins to get it unstuck and before he started breathing on his own. It was a scary few minutes but glad he was okay.</span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
FINALLY, after 3 years of trying to have a baby, 24 hours in labor, 2 and half days in the hospital, and major surgery, Baby M was placed in my arms and my whole world changed.</span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
He was perfect and beautiful in every way.</span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
So please meet our precious miracle baby</span></span></center>

I cant even remember the last time I sat down to write a blog post. And as I sit here writing this, I'm saddened that its taken me months to write a post. These last few months have gone so quickly and been filled with SO much crazy! Baby has officially come and I'm hoping now I'll have more time to blog.</span></center>

What kind of crazy couple sells their house while they are getting ready to have their FIRST baby. Not to mention, closing weeks before my due date. Being pregnant and selling your first home was probably the craziest thing I've done in a long time. There was a lot of emotions, lots of tears, confusion, happiness, excitement, and a long list of other emotions. This was the first time we've ever sold and the experience was definitely not what I had imagined. I wont go into too much detail but the buyers and their agent were not only rude and inconsiderate, but very unprofessional and definitely not they type of people you want buying your beautiful home. But in the end it was the best decision for our family. We officially sold our home and now In the process of building our second home. Needless to say, I was not able to finish the nursery which was a bummer but will post pictures once its completed in the new house.</span></center>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Every week we get closer and closer to meeting Baby M, and every week I'm still completely unprepared! Well a few weekends ago we were able to get his nursery cleared out and somewhat painted. We originally had it as a guest room, so we had some serious cleaning to do. So I thought I'd share my inspiration for his nursery and TO DO list with you, then track our progress through the blog.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After weeks of not posting this, I am finally sitting down to share our gender reveal party. As soon as I found out I was pregnant I became obsessed with finding out the gender of our baby surrounded by friends and family. Since this has been such a long journey for us, we decided to celebrate every moment we could. And we have. :) </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">My sister-in-law filled the box with black balloons, one pink, and one blue balloon. However we didn't know this, and the first balloon that popped out was the pink one. So we got really excited, then they all slowly released and we realized we still had no idea what the gender was. She did let my husband in on a little secret, we needed to pop all the balloons. We popped all the balloons and silver confetti came flying out, and after the last balloon, we still had no idea. The hubs and I realized there was one balloon left at the bottom that didn't fly out. After popping it, blue confetti flew out and Baby M's name was all over the ground. My sister-in-law had found confetti that spelled his first name & middle name!!</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Back in December we took it upon ourselves to repaint our extremely brown blah kitchen. While I have nothing against the color brown, it was just wayyy to dark and heavy for my liking. I shared the paint samples with you <a href="http://dashingtales.blogspot.com/2014/01/well-hello-2014.html">HERE. </a></span></span></div>

1. Preparing for birth... AHHHH the whole thing freaks me out. Probably something I should have figured out before getting pregnant. oops. Well I haven't quite decided which birth route I'm going, but I want ALL options available. SO I thought I better start doing some research and reading. So welcome to my book club for the next 4 months</div>

2. My husband totally surprised me with this bookshelf I've been wanting for our office. Not only did he take it upon himself to purchase it, but he also built it all by himself while I was out. What a sweetie. Because we are preparing for Baby M, our house has become total chaos as we try to get ready for his arrival. This little beauty will totally help me organize my office which has now also become our guest bedroom. :)</div>

So a few weeks ago, the hubs and I decided that we needed a central location for all our important To Do's and calendars to stay organized. And it needed to NOT be the fridge. lol. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I did some serious researching, and by serious I really mean I searched Pinterest for the latest ideas. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I decided I would make my own command center board. So heres what you need:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li>Bulletin Board </li>
<li>Fabric</li>
<li>Stable Gun</li>
</ul>
yep thats it!! So we headed to Hobby Lobby and gathered this material. Here are the steps:<br />
<br />
1. Start with laying the fabric out on the floor. Then lay a simple bulletin board on top of the fabric.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMHqtYeL3B9ppb5HrCYj2r_tBDVc8uGONTC3tXPVMNNhX8PLVBR8E1XQTaYbLHMmiJzxT3fm0_dL6GqYTEFQ4jl3js7AQy0r2yEKdRYcvZ8l-t8nh8kwqYHbA924Rzhm-_jUp2eQ-ZAI13/s1600/photo+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMHqtYeL3B9ppb5HrCYj2r_tBDVc8uGONTC3tXPVMNNhX8PLVBR8E1XQTaYbLHMmiJzxT3fm0_dL6GqYTEFQ4jl3js7AQy0r2yEKdRYcvZ8l-t8nh8kwqYHbA924Rzhm-_jUp2eQ-ZAI13/s400/photo+1.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
2. Once you have it layed out and centered, begin stapling the fabric to the back of the board. I did one side at a time. The hubs pulled the fabric tight while I stapled it to the board. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbuUJ0op1UU2fuAn3QeK1PoaIYTkH-FIG0fHHBgzTd1-vgvuT5uSdkcnHKe3_2umyqLAJXMU8z3Ab3N00eSXjzxMnKsPvYj1FBie_fGXAzsW9xYsr39jYwFuEfIitP39HPiyMwPM1trYj-/s1600/photo+2-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbuUJ0op1UU2fuAn3QeK1PoaIYTkH-FIG0fHHBgzTd1-vgvuT5uSdkcnHKe3_2umyqLAJXMU8z3Ab3N00eSXjzxMnKsPvYj1FBie_fGXAzsW9xYsr39jYwFuEfIitP39HPiyMwPM1trYj-/s400/photo+2-1.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
3. I folded in the corners and then stapled those down as well. I went ahead and put a few extra staples in it just to be sure. :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyHXe8yXQs_lQ18FoOsHk_ev49V5odpKLyy6lGMFGa49dlVqn4UvP_ljOycNzcdwyJYTPD4BsQS0mqH5tPGAXBF4exdZpfz8uGJNW-pjCZ6I46aIh6fBpZEI-3tptaYasz7B0gAvAl4a9-/s1600/photo+3-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyHXe8yXQs_lQ18FoOsHk_ev49V5odpKLyy6lGMFGa49dlVqn4UvP_ljOycNzcdwyJYTPD4BsQS0mqH5tPGAXBF4exdZpfz8uGJNW-pjCZ6I46aIh6fBpZEI-3tptaYasz7B0gAvAl4a9-/s400/photo+3-1.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
4. Once everything is stapled, flip it over and you're done! It seriously took me 10 mins to complete.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNdXp1epzRP7xyOXo8gT8AVzHxFhYqV6pD4_rGuJZTs3jEf96sgtjQ69_bqH7I_Xt2XCn8wbEWiBZ_pzxSmOsn_kPbMUkx3ksEE5aYx0RCVl4vZTjdfhC-moOiQx9h-yRiOq302tEN27pV/s1600/photo+4-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNdXp1epzRP7xyOXo8gT8AVzHxFhYqV6pD4_rGuJZTs3jEf96sgtjQ69_bqH7I_Xt2XCn8wbEWiBZ_pzxSmOsn_kPbMUkx3ksEE5aYx0RCVl4vZTjdfhC-moOiQx9h-yRiOq302tEN27pV/s400/photo+4-1.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now I'm in the process of hanging it and adding all the small details. So stay tuned for Part 2!</div>

So TECHNICALLY I'm 24 weeks this week, but I haven't taken my Week 24 picture yet. Just thought I'd share the bump. <br />
<br />
One of my favorite people had a birthday this weekend, so we were able to celebrate her and I actually stayed up past midnight... go pregnant me! :)<br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So friends I received my SECOND Influenster box last week and I am pretty excited about all my goodies!!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrlF-ULGBcrs_01OxQb6plFvqunauZmVuWfqW6LguAd_zkbJRBmkJFcZo6Jsmc71qq6g7X8ngX8tgLpaLWM8_oOSbDInznjAHvq51yOwX3GTPPQVL2KU4srs3AjYUi4qVc0n-zTYOlA_ug/s1600/photo+4+(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrlF-ULGBcrs_01OxQb6plFvqunauZmVuWfqW6LguAd_zkbJRBmkJFcZo6Jsmc71qq6g7X8ngX8tgLpaLWM8_oOSbDInznjAHvq51yOwX3GTPPQVL2KU4srs3AjYUi4qVc0n-zTYOlA_ug/s640/photo+4+(1).JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Here is what came in it:</b></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Lindor Milk Chocolate Truffles</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Dr. Scholl's For Her Cozy Cushions</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">belVita Crunchy Breakfast biscuits</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Kiss Gradation Polishes</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I immediately opened the truffle and it was YUMMY, except for the fact that I had NO idea it had a melted filling inside and pretty much got it ALL over my shirt, counter, floor, and dogs head. Cool. Probably would have been better in my belly. :)</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I also took the belVita breakfast cookie to work the next day and for a pregnant women, I actually stayed full for awhile and it too was really YUMMY. It however did not squirt chocolate everywhere thankfully. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Heres my issue with mascara. I am a true critque and can honestly say I have tried my fair share of mascaras. I have extremely long eyelashes (that I'm extremely thankful for) and with most mascaras they clump REALLLLLLY badly. I normally use Buxom Mascara and it is truly my favorite thing on earth. So I decided to give this one that came in my box a try and actually really loved the brush. The brush is simlar to the Buxom brush, but the only think I didn't love was I felt like my eyes may have been irritated with the mascara after a full day. My eyes itched like crazy! But who knows maybe I'm the weird one. I'd still say give it a try :)</span></center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Okay, I'm about 2 weeks overdue for this post. My baddddd. Its been a crazy couple of weeks but it feels good to be blogging again. Work has pretty much kept me busy for the last few weeks but we have definitely been having fun watching my belly grow and spending time with friends over the weekends. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Two weekends ago, my all time favorite football team LSU played their biggest rivals... Alabama. And I'll tell you this, you are either a LSU fan or an Alabama fan. There is no room for loving both. It was a GREAT game, but sadly we lost. They are probably the two best teams in the SEC and if you have no idea what I'm talking about that's okay, you can move on to the pictures ;). I'm from the South and we LIVE for football. Arizona is a little different then what I'm use when it comes to football season. In Louisiana you BLEED purple and gold. Its true and I'm pretty sure I have a shirt that says so.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It has taken me 5 freaking years to get my husband on board as a LSU fan... as long as they aren't playing ASU of course. Well this year he agreed to actually sport an LSU shirt. Too bad we live in Arizona and they don't actually sell any other shirts other then ASU. So I made us shirts and I sure do wish I actually remembered to take a picture of both of them, because they were amazing of course. I did however get a picture of mine. ohhh ya</span></center>

</center>
<center>
</center>

</center>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This past weekend was incredibly productive! The hubs and I put on our work boots and did some serious work in the house. We didn't actually put on boots because its still warm here, but you get the point. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We DIY'ed, went to Ikea, purchased some new things, hung up a few things, and really got our outside patio nice and ready for winter cookouts. I will be sharing lots and lots of pictures with you over the next few weeks. :) We were also able to do some serious cleaning. Which is probably the worst part of the weekend but at least its done!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One of main projects to complete this weekend was my canvas idea I had for our bedroom. I have actually been working on it for weeks, but have only been able to do a little at time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />I bought this humungous M and decided to paint it a coral color. Little did I know there isn't a color just called coral. geez. So I tested 3 colors and was lucky enough to find a coral in one of the 3 I picked.</span></div>
<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once I had them "M" all nicely painted, I decided to paint the canvas all white. Once that was dry I measured out my stripes and used blue tape. Then painted the gray stripes. Too bad I didn't any pics of that process, but I did take a picture of the final process.</span></div>

This weekend was nice and busy! One of my girlfriends baby shower was this weekend and I was in charge of the "POP" table. I sadly only took like two pictures but it was a lot of fun!! She happened to have a co-ed baby shower and I LOVED that. The hubby even won us a gift card by collecting those pink baby close pins. </div>

I also received my first ever Influenster Box and I'm super excited about it. I pretty much LOVEEE cheese and I already love the Sargento brand, so I was really excited to get this box. It even came with this awesome string cheese cooler pouch. You best believe I already used my coupons! :) I grabbed the snack Colby String Cheese and it was sooo yummy and the protein is really good for you!! Already added to my list of yummy snacks during the week!!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">How's a weekend recap on a Wednesday work for you? We just got back to town so I'm going to go with it. Still kinda wishin it was the weekend! </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This past weekend we headed up north. The scenery was gorgeous, but the weather was not. It rained A LOT and that was okay, but it was hotter then normal. I am so beyond ready for Fall and Winter. Bring on the sweaters, boots, and pumpkin spice puuuhlease! Wait I was discussing my weekend.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So, we did a whole lot of exploring this weekend. Took a back road we'd never been on and discovered some more gorgeousness. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I had SO much fun this month doing Cara Box. Kaitlyn over at <a href="http://www.wifessionals.com/p/about-me.html">Wifessionals</a> puts on Cara Box, so I will be linking up with her. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This month I had two really GREAT partners and I loved getting to know each of them. One of my favorite things about Cara Box is being able to get to know another blogger on a more personal level. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This month I sent a box to Mal over at <a href="http://www.malsmiles.com/">Mal Smiles</a>. It was awesome getting to know her and learning so much about her. She just recently moved to Colorado so our states corners touch and that's cool. She will be visiting AZ next month and hopefully we can plan a little blog date. Shes pretty awesome, so if you haven't started following her you should! :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My second partner was <span class="gD" name="Gentel McKenney">Gentel </span>over at <a href="http://anchoredtolove.blogspot.com/">Anchored to Love</a> and she sent me my box this month. Gentel and I have a love for anchors, coffee, and for DIY. She sent me such an amazing box, I loved every piece of it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The funny part is I've been dying to buy one of those mason jar mugs! and some how she found pink bubble wrap.. WHAT? thats pretty awesome. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She also sent me this b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l picture frame, but USPS can sometimes be lame and it broke. :( but I have intentions on fixing the glass ASAP. This is one of my favorite scriptures and something I lean on daily. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This weekend consisted of nothing but housework, relaxin', and some family time. And I got my Cara Box already to go! I did however decide to do a small 3 day juice cleanse and it was great, and I pretty much was starving the whole time. All I really wanted was a cheeseburger, so I completely avoided Pinterest.</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Clearly I'm not a mommy yet, but I am hoping to be one some day ;) and I'm a little late on this post.</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sitting here thinking of being a mommy and my goals and it all seems a little scary to think about. You are in charge of making sure this little tiny human has a great life. Its scary and exciting. </span></center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">1. Sharing my faith. We are Christian folks and I think this is a huge important part for me as a mother. I believe in God and I want to share that with my children. To have faith. To love one another, and to be a good person. Inside and out. Not about following rules but just having faith and to trust in God.</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">2. Being patient. I want to not only show patience, but teach them to be patient. Patient in life, patient with others, and patient with themselves. </span></center>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">3. To be kind, be respectful, and responsible. I come from a very small town in Louisiana and in the South respect is HUGE. I also think teaching them how to be responsible, by providing them with the tools and ability to make the best judgement.</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">4. To be a good example as a mother, friend, wife, daughter, etc. I want to show them what a role model is.</span></center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">5. Showing them love and support, even when I'm angry. </span></center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">6. Provide an example of a healthy marriage. This is actually extremely important to me. </span></center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">7. Be active and have family time. I want to do things with them. I want to take them on vacations and camping trips.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I think more then anything I just want to be there for them. To be there support, someone they can confide in, and someone they know they can ALWAYS turn too. :)</span></center>
