This is an adorable post! I found you via the Aloha Friday hop. Wanted to say hi!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for saying HI, Kelly, and thank you for your sweet words!
DeleteSounds like a fun week. My son is two and follows his girl friend around church all the time and insists on holding her hand when ever they are together, and now he says he NEEDS to hug her when he leaves! haha. Crazy kids.

Hi Megan! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and for sharing your story about your son with me. A girlfriend your son follows around church!!! HA HA! Too cute. Kids are so funny. Just wanted you to know that I appreciate the follow and the comment. Have a great week...the weekend is almost here! XOXO
DeleteGreat post! She sounds like quite the character; so cute!!!! Hang in there mama :o)
ReplyDeleteAw, you're a sweetheart. I appreciate the "hang in there mama." Thank you so very very very much! (And yes, my daughter has A LOT of character! HA HA!)
DeleteYour little is adorable. My little has a girl-friend that was his bestie last year. This year it's all boys. I think my end of week check list would read something like yours.. although my little is loving school right now.

Deleteawww i LOVE your new bloggy! And I LOVE that for once I checked your blog on my COMPUTER!!! I can't comment on my iphone for some reason. It always freezes up, then I never get back around to all the blogs I read to comment. I"M A BAD BLOGGY FRIEND! hahahaha! I love this post, and I'm feeling much the same. Lily is adorable, and I"m glad she's adjusting ok to school! It sure is a transition, right??? hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteAAAAAAA, I love you!!! You always leave me the best comments. Seriously. You have a heart of gold! I love your guts!
DeleteLove the post. It brings back so many memories of those "wonderful" moments that really do go by fast. You get to my age and ask, "Where'd the time go?". But it seems like an eternity when you're going through it.Your blog looks awesome, by the way!
ReplyDeleteJANI! You are the best, the best, the best! Thanks for stopping by! I'm such a fan of yours on our online groups and I always see your name and picture and think, "She seems lovely!" Your comment warmed my heart. Thanks for the love! XOXO!
Deleteoh my gosh your daughter is hysterical. what a cutie pie. my niece was not digging school this week too. Love the new design so pretty!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU! My daughter IS hysterical...and sassy and nuts and crazy and hilarious! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog Marissa. I AM DYING YOU WERE AT BLOGGER'S NIGHT OUT and I DID NOT OFFICIALLY MEET YOU!!!! What the heck?!?!?! You seem so terrific. We'll have to meet up another time, for sure. Have a happy week, as the weekend is almost here! XOXO!
Deletelove the check list. Being a mom is hard. Humor sometimes really is the only way to get through it, along with diet coke and target of course.
ReplyDeleteHA HA HA HA!!! Carissa! I ABSOLUTELY agree about the TARGET! HA! Too funny! Your comment made me laugh! Yes, being a mom is hard....it's a good thing we are all in this together.
DeleteHow funny! My daughter's biggest complaint in school was there was no "snack drawer" she could rummage through at any time she wanted!
ReplyDeletehttp://13plumconfessions.blogspot.com/2012/09/captchas-are-pain.html
HA HA! TOO CUTE! And that sounds very similar to a complaint I've been hearing around my house too!
DeleteYou are such a wonderful mama! I just love you
ReplyDeleteCamille, YOU are a wonderful mama...and I love you too!
DeleteI love you Aleisha! Come over and we can down a few diet coke's together. We could even let our little ones play while we snooze on the couch. I will even snuggle with you if you want to.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog makeover. So dang cute!
I LOVE YOU! Best comment ever! Thanks a bunch and a bunch and a bunch!!
DeleteI found you through the Naptime Review Monday Mixer and I have to say, "You are adorable". And I too can check off "Losing my mind" at the end of every week. I can't decide if it's the husband or the kids that makes me lose it?

I found your blog via a Deseret News article believe it or not.....You were listed on one of the bloggers lists of must reads and I followed you here. x
ReplyDeleteGoing to browse around for a while but so far....cute blog. x
Hi Aleisha!!!! Oh my, you have a mini you on your hands lol just look at that last pic and Lilly's expression hehehe
ReplyDeleteOh you made me smile when you wrote how she claimed that school just wasn't her thing hahaha (it was never my thing either Lilly!)
She sounds like a real character, at this rate you are going to be spending a lot of time at Target in the lip gloss/nail polish section haha
Hope you uys are all well!!! Get some rest and put your feet up over the weekend...there is only 12 or so years of school ;)
oh great - thank you for warning me about "school" hahaha. my daughter is only 1 but from what I hear, it won't be long before the years pass by and she'll be in school....
