Wishlist Wednesday and Upcomming CSN Stores Product Review

Alright so we all know how important it is for a Mommy to have her coffee in the morning. It does not matter if you are at SAHM or a working mom; we all need our fix. Otherwise the world is in danger, right?

I have had the same coffee maker for the past 7 years and I think I need an upgrade. Don't get me wrong Mr. Coffee rocks and has kept my eyelids from closing the mornings when Potato decided that sleeping was for babies!

I have been back to work for a while now and it is so hard to drink that pot of coffee while doing the makeup, hair, dressing Potato and DH. It's a rough life and well most of the time my coffee gets poured and is cold before I realize I left it upstairs during the morning wake up call to my boys.

A remedy is what I am looking for and look at this cool toy I found.
Isn't it just sexy?! It's perfect for any mommy. One for the house and one for the road and no suffering through cold coffee. You know you want one!

Anyways I am also announcing that I will be conducting my first product review for CSN Stores soon. How 'bout that I am a big girl blogger now! I really can't wait to review something. Now I am on a search for just what Potato or DH needs/wants. I think with 200+ stores I should be able to find many perfect things. Make sure you go and shop around.

Monkey in a Basket

I was so excited to spend some much needed time with the sis-n-law. She has so many great things going on in her life that I love to be able to share in her happiness. The Smith Family is growing and I love each one of them so much.

Potato and I went for dinner/gossip session and oh boy did she have some scoop. While the ladies gabbed the boys did their best to get into everything. Monkey found himself getting sleepy and figured that the laundry basket was the best place to rest.

Harmonica Hoedown!...Kids got talent.

Ok so during Healing Week Potato had music lessons with Papaw. If you read my post about how our family is incredibly talented then the video below should be of no shock.

He loves to play the guitar but I had no idea about the calling Potato had for the harmonica. Its moments like these that a mother is proud.

Trahan Baby Shower

Sunday was fun day for my pal Sammy, Potato, and I. We got all purtied up for the Trahan Baby Shower. It was beautiful!

I went to school with the Mommy-To-Be. I don't remember much about high school except my friends. I remember Abby and her boy(husband now) coming to my house for my 17th birthday. I remember the crawfish and the fact that everyone ended up wearing birthday cake instead of eating it like normal teenagers. Oh did I add that there were water balloons too!? One of my favorite memories.

Ok back to get back on track....even though high school is over somehow I keep running into Abby. DH is friends with her younger brother and he just so happens to married to my Sammy. Small world right?!

I had to have two baby showers because it would have been complete madness to try and cram everyone together at MIL's house. So I had a 'family' shower and a 'friend' shower. Abby was at my 'friend' shower and it was nice to catch up with her and discover that they were starting their journey to have a baby.

It is so special to be able to see your friends always stay near even though they are not in your everyday lives. Congrats to the Trahan Family!

Ok so I know you will love the photos because Sammy and I did not even try to coordinate but it just happens. Great minds think a like and it helps that we spend more time at each others house instead of our own.

The food was incredible at Abby's shower but my favorite was called 'cajun caviar'. I am not sure what all it consists of except for pepper jelly and crushed pecans. Lets just say that I could have sat down with the dish and ate it all by myself. I am not kidding!

Potato decided that mommy was taking to much time stuffing her face so he helped himself to several cookies off the banquet tables. I did not care as long as he did not break anything. Then after he ate he went and checked out the presents. He chatted with a few of the chicks and then took a nap. I guess its hard work to be debonair. Who knew?

Overall we had a blast and I can't wait to see that beautiful baby!
