So What! Wednesday

First and foremost - I'm jumping on the bandwagon to tell you all to follow me on BLOGLOVIN.  Google reader is going away (although I never used it) so bloglovin is taking its place.  I've joined and started reading my blog feed there and let me tell you, it's awesome!  So, go and follow me there.  It's super simple to just transfer all the blogs you're following from blogger to bloglovin.

Now onto the good stuff - today I'm linking up with Shannon from Life After I Dew for So What! Wednesday.  Here's what I have to say so what to this week.....

~ So what - if it snowed yesterday, I mean, it's on March, spring today to be exact.  I'm over it!

~ So what - if since buying my new eye shadow palette I'm a bit obsessed and ordered a few new colors from MK to try out.

~ So what - if my husband and I have already started Christmas shopping for Olivia.  We got some really good deals on things we wanted to get her, we couldn’t pass them up.  This is the first time I've ever, ever started Christmas shopping this early - well, early at all!

~ So what - if all said Christmas presents are currently on the floor of my bedroom closet.  They're taking up so much space and I need to move them downstairs but haven’t gotten around to it.

~ So what - if my family has been eating fruit salad like crazy these past 2 weeks.  We have spent so much money (and time) making it but it's so delicious, healthy and 0 points!

~ So what - if I joined Weight Watchers almost 2 weeks ago.  I was struggling with tracking calories and felt like I needed a bit more structure.  I'm happy with the program so far....and my 4.2lb weight loss during week 1.

That's all I have to say So What to this week.  Head over to Shannon's blog and link up too!

So What! Wednesday

Linking up with Shannon today for SWW. 

~ So what if I haven't had coffee in over a week.  Other than having a headache the first day, I'm feeling good and don't miss it.  (never thought I'd say that)

~ So what if this past weekend I bought my first ever eye-shadow palette from Sephora.  I've always just bought individual colors and for some reason it made me all excited buying a palette.

~ So what if Olivia thinks she gets ice cream after school each week.  On her first day of school we celebrated by taking her out for ice cream and last night when I was telling her about going to school tomorrow she says "and then we go get ice cream!"

~ So what if Olivia wasn’t the least bit affected by daylight savings time.  Thank God!

~ So what if I want to get a blog makeover and change my blog name - too bad I have no idea how to change the name and I don’t want to lose the connections and friends I've made so I probably won’t.

~ So what if my little blog only has 80ish followers... it's grown from 30 - 80 this year alone and when we hit 100 I'm going to do a giveaway - so - send your friends!

~ So what if I'm super excited about a post I have scheduled for tomorrow.  This idea has been on my heart for a while and I'm glad I'm finally putting it into motion.  Check back and see what it's all about.

It's Wednesday again and you all know what that means.  I'm linking up with Shannon from Life After I Dew for her So What! Wednesday series.   This week I'm saying So What! if...   ~ I'm still hoping to get more responses and advice in regards to yesterdays post.  There are a few women who go to my church that read my blog so I'm hoping they will chime in.  I received a few heartfelt emails that I have yet to respond to and I'm so, so thankful for them.   ~ Olivia is constantly amazing me with things she does and says.  She's so, so smart!  We talk to her about everything and last night she grabbed a pillow and blanket, laid down on the fireplace and told me she was "waiting for Santa and Jesus' birthday!"  I know she understands who Santa is but I didn't know she understood the details! 

Don't mind the fancy baby gate in the fireplace.  O is obsessed with going into the fireplace, throwing her toys in there etc. etc. etc.  We got tired of having a 2 year old covered in soot... so hence, the baby gate.

~ I'm excited for our upcoming busy weekend - family Christmas party, nephews birthday party, dance, church and family time.   ~ We took Olivia to LaSalette last night and let her stay up way past her bedtime.  She loved it and we're the parents so we can break the rules!

~ The bottom half of our Christmas tree has no ornaments on it.  I mean, it DID at one time but there's this certain someone who lives in my house and happens to be right about that height that has assumed the ornaments as new toys for her to play with.    ~ I wrapped all of Olivia's Christmas presents and feel like I need to buy her more.  It's this weird balance between knowing she has enough and wanting to give her the world.   

So What! Wednesday

It's Wednesday again which means I'm linking up with Shannon from Life After I Dew for her So What! Wednesday series.    This week I'm saying So What if...   ~ the candidate I voted for didn't win.  I heard him speak on the radio this morning and I was so proud that he humbly stated "Ann and I will stand behind President Obama and pray for him during his term earnestly.  God Bless America!"    ~ I'm super excited that I'm making lasagna for dinner tonight, we haven't had it is so long!   ~ every year I say that I'm going to get a head start on Christmas shopping and every year I don't.  UGH!   ~ our bedtime struggles with Olivia have changed from getting her to fall asleep to getting her to stay asleep.  Lately she's been waking up at 1AM or 2AM and she refuses to go back to sleep unless one of us is in bed with her.    ~ I struggle with being super strict with her bedtime because I flip flop between wanting her to be able to fall asleep on her own and knowing that she's only small once and I should take the cuddles while I can get them.  There are Mama's out there who've lost babies and would do anything to be able to sleep beside their children so why am I so dead set against it?    ~ I'm still drinking iced coffee and it's about 35 degrees in the morning when I'm on my way to work.    That's all I'm saying So What to today.  Happy Wednesday!     

So What! Wednesday...on Thursday?

Today I'm saying So What! if...   ...I'm a day late, So What! ...Thursday?  Oh well.   ...I went to bed last night at 8pm with Olivia and I'm still tired today.   ...I hit my snooze button at least 5 times this morning.   ...I'm 29 years old and still don't like to be home alone at night.   ...I'm planning the easiest dinner tonight since it's just me and Olivia, bacon and lolli-pops!    ...my husband and I call most food"bacon" or "lolli-pops" so Olivia will eat it.  Bacon is ham or turkey roll-ups and lolli-pops are pepper sticks, tomatos, cucumbers etc. dipped in salad dressing.  It works.   ...I really considered playing hookie from work today.   ...that's all I can muster today.  I'm tired.   Go link up with Shannon at Life After I Dew.       

So What! Wednesday

That's right, it's Wednesday again (thank God this week is already 1/2 over) and I'm linking up with Shannon over at "Life After I Dew"  This week, I'm saying "So What!" if... ~ I took yesterday off from work because Olivia was sick and up 1/2 the night before. ~ I can NOT wait for this week to be over since I'm on vacation next week. ~ I ate a Reese's peanut butter heart at 7am today. don't judge. ~ I'm totally obsessed and sad that Teen Mom 2 is almost over. ~ Jersey Shore is getting to the point that its embarrassing to watch.  They're a bit old to be acting that foolish. ~ I got SO excited that Vera Bradley sent me a $20 of $20 coupon!  I live near the VB outlet and they have great deals!!!  I cant wait to go there this weekend. ~ I'm rearranging Olivia's whole room to fit her new kitchen set.  She's going to love it... (read: she BETTER love it!) That's all I have today... go check out Shannon's blog and link up for SWW! 

So What Wednesday!

Today, for the first time, I am linking up with Shannon @ Life After I Dew for

So What Wednesday!

I've been reading her blog for a couple of months now and I assure you, you'll love it!

This week I'm saying "so what if..."

• last night I was so tired, I curled up on the floor and dozed off while Olivia played around me.
• the only reason I woke up is because she dropped a book on my head.
• I went to sleep at 8:30 and left the dishes in the sink for my husband to take care of.
• I'm considering taking a vacation day on Friday to have a 4 day weekend.
• I put my hair up in a bun this morning because I couldn't be bothering fixing it.

So, what are you saying "so what?" to today???
