Living Life and Enjoying Parenthood

I sit here typing at my computer with Jayden in a sling. If I lay him down or put him in his bouncer, he’ll get fussy and I won’t be able to get anything done. He’s still a good baby, he just wants his mommy . I want to be in the bed by 1am so that I can be up by the afternoon at least. I don’t like sleeping the day away, so I’m sticking to my bedtimes. I love seeing the sun shine through the windows, it give me energy, and makes my pictures pretty.

Greg and I have been…living life and enjoying parenthood. We’re trying to get a lot of done online and offline. We have some online projects in the works and we’re excited about them. I’m hoping I can do something with this blog because I feel so bad for neglecting it. Right now, I see this blog as my little miscellaneous piece of the web, where I can connect with moms and non-moms alike. I think I’ll start doing memes again. I have a vision for a new blog theme, but I can’t get anything graphically that I’m satisfied with. I’m determined to though. The preggy mama has got to go!

Greg and I are trying to move back to Chicago sooner than August. Our lease is up then, but we can just pay up and leave. I’d feel more relieved moving earlier. It would be a load off of our shoulders, then we could enjoy the rest of our summer in the Windy City! Even if we move in with his mother for a few months, I don’t care (not that there’s a problem). It would actually make looking for a place much easier. Right now we count on finding listings online with pictures because there’s no way we’re going to drive 5 hours to see a place that we don’t like. We could save some money not having to pay utilities too.

Well I’m off to finish writing some posts for Mommy Daddy Blog. Greg should be here soon, so I’ll be able to get a shower. Hey, don’t judge, I have a newborn!

Congrats to Marlene, the winner of the HairZing giveaway! Thanks to all who entered!

Tanyetta’s Gonna Be On The Ellen Show!

Tanyettas Gonna Be On The Ellen Show! Tanyetta went to a taping of the Ellen show and it will be airing on Monday. During the show, she played a coconut game for a chance to win 7 days and 6 nights at the Embassy Suites in Waikiki, Hawaii for 4. She won and she’s taking me! Ok, I’m lying about taking me, lol. It’s the perfect package for her, hubby, daughter and son! She was so excited that she broke out and did the robot dance on stage! I swear we must move to Cali because Tanyetta is living the life over there. There is never a dull moment in the house of the McKoys!

Win A $100 Tarjay (Target) Gift Card!

For the longest I thought that Target was just an expensive Walmart and I stayed away. After a few occasional visits to Target, I see what all the raving is about. Don’t get me wrong now, I’m still a fan of Walmart (the newer and cleaner ones), but Target is more upscale. They carry better quality products, some of which are on the boutique-y level. Target is one of my new found loves.

BloggedIn is having a giveaway for a $100 Target gift card! If I were to win, I’d probably spend it on baby stuff and anything that I can find in the clearance aisles!

Heather’s house that her family planned to move in next month was damaged in a tornado on Mother’s Day. If you can spare a few bucks to help with the the hustle and bustle of going to and from the house to clean up and pay for repairs, she will be forever grateful.

Going To Relax…

Today we are hitting the road so that Jayden can meet family. We’re going to use this week to relax. Nothing much has been going on. Greg’s done with school for the summer. I’m getting over the Baby Blues and I’m enjoying our little man .

I had the best Mother’s Day ever! Greg proposed with a ring! It’s official now !
