Hi friends! Long time no blog, huh?! ;)


I have had a busy few days that's for sure! I've really been trying to "live in the moment" too and enjoy the time I have with my sweet baby girl and hubs so I haven't been online as much lately! I can't believe my little baby is almost 9 months old! It's going by WAY TOO FAST so I'm trying to enjoy & be present for every moment!

I know I have a few readers that follow this blog that may not know I have another one as well... if any of ya'll are interested in reading about my last few days, I've written some posts about them on my "family" blog (http://www.jayneandjeremyweber.blogspot.com/) ... {I'm not as clever or witty with that blog! LOL!... I mainly just use that one to post pictures of baby girl :)}... It's been so pretty here in Nashville that we got sweet baby girl a baby pool last week and took her to her first trip to the zoo... You can see all those pics on that blog if you're interested & also see all our Easter pictures :)

But here's a few to tickle your fancy for my "Purses, Poo and Playdates" readers... :)

The baby pool...

The zoo...
Easter...




{P.S. I bought this dress last spring and was SUPER DUPER EXCITED I fit back into it!... I had to put a little double-sided tape on it because my "mom boobs" wanted to bust out! ;) }

Here's sweet baby girl in her Easter outfit... I just love putting her in big, flooffy dresses and I think she loves getting all dressed up too!... although she still refuses to keep shoes on her feet!...

Egg hunt...



I also made some fun Easter cupcakes this year!...

It was so fun & SUPER easy!... It's just strawberry cupcakes with strawberry icing... I dyed shredded coconut with green food coloring to look like grass and sprinkled them with sugar sprinkles & topped them with marshmallow peeps using a toothpick!

Then I just got some containers & Easter ribbon and gave them to friends & family! :)

Shopping for Easter...er, I mean Valentine's Day...

Hi friends!

I had another enjoyable Saturday! Hubs let me off baby duty for the afternoon to go shopping! Yay!... I needed to go out to get some last minute Valentine's Day gifts for him & baby girl, but ended up finding more than I set out for!... {Don't worry, the things I bought we "somewhat needed"... I just didn't expect to find them today}

In the area we live, we don't have a huge mall real close (it's only about 30 minutes away) but we have a few stores up the road that suit me just fine when I want to get away and do some shopping... I went to JCPenny first to try to find these dress shirts my husband really likes, but of course they didn't have his size... but I went a few doors down to Ross & TJ Maxx and found a shirt & tie I liked so I got that for him...

Hopefully he will like what I picked out! He usually always likes the ties I give him but he is pretty particular about his shirts so we'll see...

Then whenever I'm at TJ Maxx, I just have to go over to the Home Goods section!... and that's where the unexpected purchases come in (as they normally do!)

Since we have a little one now, my goal is to do special things for all the major holidays & decorate the house accordingly. Up until recently, I would just decorate for Thanksgiving & Christmas, but this year I got some Valentine's stuff and today I found a few Easter things!

I found this Easter egg wreath!... and I got the matching garland and a couple boxes of coordinating vase fillers :) All for around $50!

I did refrain from buying up these oh so cute polka-dot dishes though! {I LOVE polka-dots!} so I was pretty proud of myself! My friend Beth probably went and cleaned them out after I sent her a picture mail of them! She has a polka-dot problem too! LOL ;)

Then of course I came home & made BLTs for me & hubs!... we seriously are gonna need to go to BLT rehab! We've made them every Saturday for lunch for more than I'd like to admit! We are ADDICTED!! It's that dang bacon with the brown sugar I talked about a few posts back that you cook in the oven!... Its like crack!! I mean who doesn't like "candy-coated" bacon?!

Then later in the evening, I sent hubs to Publix to get more bread and he came home with a couple steaks and made me a Valentine's Eve dinner! ;) So sweet!!....

We put crumbled goat cheese on top of the steaks & it was DEE-LICOUS!! :)

Tomorrow we don't have a whole lot planned for V-day. Hubs & I don't usually do an extravagant Valentine's celebration anymore... we're both just pretty happy to get take-out or cook a nice dinner and stay in. We're homebodies really- and perfectly happy that way!

After church we may run to the mall & later we are getting the rest of sweet baby girl's 6 month portraits done... Then I need to spend the rest of the day cleaning house & finishing the laundry because my mom is coming in town Monday to stay for a week!

I'm just hoping hubs comes through on the dark chocolate, raspberry candy I've been dropping hints for for the past week or two!... I'm still working on convincing him that we need to leave for church early so we can stop by a donut place to get some of these festive heart-shaped treats I saw a commercial for... :)

Anyhoo, I need to go upstairs and fold laundry & try to find something to fit into tomorrow!
Y'ALL HAVE A HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!! ;)
