I even got to sneak away with Beckett for a swimming birthday party. It is so important to spend time with your kids alone while they transition from an only child to sibling. It was nice to get some fresh air and sun, too! </div>

Since we had Declan early in the morning, after lunch we were able to have visitors! We couldn't wait to have visitors and the first one was the big brother himself!</div>

It was so touching to see Beckett run in to meet the baby. I tried to get a video but he was so fast when he ran in! When Colby asked him what he thought he goes "He's beautiful!" and I think we all shed a tear.</div>

Unlike his big brother, Declan's birth story is pretty dang simple. We knew we were having a repeat C-Section (he was breech when we made the decision, then he turned lol) so we knew when and how he was arriving.</div>

We checked into the hospital bright and early on the morning of June 14th. It was eerily quiet in the hospital that morning, and I was calm and nervous all at the same time. We got checked in and settled into our room. I had all my vitals taken and before we knew it our Dr (Dr Jacoby) came in and said it was go time.</div>

Since it wasn't an emergency C-Section this time, we knew what to expect, but we also got to experience the prep.. which is a little daunting. With Beckett I had an epidural, but this round, I had a spinal. The anesthesiologist was awesome and walked us through the whole thing. I got zinged (the needle hit my nerves and sent a shock through my entire left leg but it only lasted about .01 seconds) and within a few mins, I was warm, numb and ready to meet our sweet baby boy. I did get a little nauseous and with a cold compress on my head and something good in my drip, I was fine within 30 seconds or so.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The surgery was surreal. Since I was with it this time, I got to look around hear the doctors chit chat about their summers. You forget that this is their job, and while serious, it's good to know they were comfortable and confident while cutting me open!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once things got started it went fast. They started prep at 7am sharp and by 7:56am he was out! Declan popped out as Beckett likes to say and was wailing before they pulled him completely out! They held him up and whisked him away to get his vitals before letting us hold him for the first time. It was love at 1st sight all over again.</div>

Recovery was much easier this time, too. I don't know if it was the drugs they used or what, but I was able to eat some ice in recovery while Colby ate breakfast, water a few hours later and dinner that night! </div>

Dear Beckett,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the night before you officially become a big brother, I'm a mess. As my one and only, my tiny lunch date, and my bestie for the last 4+ years, I cannot imagine the happiness I'm going to experience when you get to meet your little brother for the first time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, I'm struggling with so many emotions. Happiness, excitement, fear, guilt. You name it. We've prepared you as best we can and you're the most excited out of anyone to become a big brother. You nailed Big Brother class, and ask (multiple times) daily if it's 'Baby Day' yet,so we know you're ready, but are we? I want you to know, I couldn't be more proud of you and more excited to see you take on this new role.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The tears I've cried are happy ones, as you always ask. I'm happy but hope my heart can hold the love I have for you and your brother together- apparently, you can according to everyone I've talked to, so no fear little guy, my love for you will only get stronger :) There is always room for Mommy love and cuddles for both of you- always and forever!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I kissed you this morning on the way out to the hospital, you smiled and said 'love you' and rolled over to go back to sleep (it was 5am after all.) My littlest becoming the oldest in the blink of an eye. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love you so much stinky butt and cannot wait to see you as Big Brother Beckett in just a few hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love you all in my heart forever, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mommy</div>

A few weeks before baby, we enrolled Beckett into Big Brother class at the hospital we were delivering at. It was a great opportunity for him to get to learn what it takes to be a big brother and to get familiar with the hospital!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He got to hold a 'baby', take a tour of the hospital, and make a poster for the baby's hospital bassinet. He even got a certificate of completion! He's ready and so are we!</div>

While I was kind of against it, we ended up taking our spring bluebonnet photos as a makeshift maternity shoot. While I'm glad we took them, they aren't my favorite photos of myself, but hey- I was growing a human, so I gotta give myself a little slack, right?</div>

With a 4-year-old in tow, there isn't' really much downtime when you're pregnant with your second. I did my best to not skip a beat with Beckett as every day closer to 'Baby Day' was one day less with my oldest, so we did as much as we could together as a buddy team before our baby brother arrives!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since photos are worth a thousand words, here's a photo essay of some of the adventures we had before Baby Day! From Tee-ball, school performances, an Astros World Series win (!) and celebrating our birthdays and our 6th anniversary, we packed it all in!<br />

After a long time trying, we are so excited to share the news that we are pregnant with our second child! Beckett is SUPER excited and so are we! We're due in June 2018 and couldn't be more thrilled!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This pregnancy is a little more sensitive than the first. We are aware of just about everything since we've been through this before. Every time I use the bathroom I pray there's no bleeding or miscarriage, even though my doctor tells me every appointment that we have a healthy pregnancy, but you just never know! So far I've just had the usual symptoms.. I'm exhausted and vomiting basically all day. It's been really hard to not tell Beckett since he asks for a brother or sister just about every day. He's aware I'm sick and hates that i'm always throwing up but he'll get to know soon enough!</div>

We got to tell most of our family in person about this pregnancy instead of over the phone like we did with Beckett. I was most fun letting Beckett know, but he was one of the last since 4-year-olds have big mouths and like to share everything!<br />

I took a blood test and will know the gender so soon! What do you think Baby Louis is? Boy or Girl?!</div>

Christmas is always my favorite time of year but now that Beckett is really starting to participate, it's that much better!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know it sounds silly, but picking out our Christmas cards really sets the tone of our holiday decor! I know, seems so silly, but it really does! We had our photos taken by our fav, <a href="http://www.kristenhafnerphotography.com/">Kristen Hafner Photography</a> early, so when it was time to pick out our card suite, it was so easy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You know how I adore <a href="https://www.tinyprints.com/shop/holiday-cards.htm">Tiny Prints</a> and how easy they make everything for parents- from the holiday cards, ornaments, stockings, and decor. I love working with them every year and this year was no exception!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJfDAucnlWEQZdm1fEsyUHbpedfGBOYmo-q7UUSlXMMmPQljwT6iAQnIYrjD8snjfOHYOwxg3lay08cvQJuz98Yv7Pp0n8D-8_w_ZHELBbwtfAZJvdo2Vt1dSjOJHdbWjsdzrqydqrxhTz/s640/FullSizeRender+2.jpg" width="640" /></div>

<img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqaWc8NzJhTXIPWlyymgUrac6ze7L8qZJSql1ErJtUd4QtcofAdmn0a6oy-mYXMPgtrQhcTz3G_l_wkbRpkeWnS83v1cqnyY-W9wqaWTblQDymHPnHNJv-2kfuNJD1WhMjR68aRZe7RQgC/s640/xmascard+edit.jpg" width="640" /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose the <a href="https://www.tinyprints.com/product/67436/flat_holiday_photo_cards_beaming_branches.html#color/03/pid/67436/paper/2/sentiment/1">Beaming Branches</a> suite this year- it's classic, and a little playful! I love a classic card, and this was perfect along with our gorgeous photos! I, of course, ordered the matching address labels, too! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Addressing each card is my favorite part- and this year was super fun, and time consuming. Yes, I hand addressed each card with a drawn on ribbon. I'm nuts, I know. But aren't they cute!?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also love the tradition of getting Beckett a custom ornament documenting each holiday season! This year I got him the <a href="https://www.tinyprints.com/product/67782/bracket_metal_ornaments_arctic_snow.html">Tiny Prints Arctic Snow Bracket Metal ornament</a> in Siren, and it's perfection!<br />

The season always starts off with a visit with Santa and a visit from Saint Nicholas. Beckett wasn't too sure about Santa this year and is still a little confused about Saint Nicolas Day, but he's happy about getting a surprise!</div>

We went to <a href="http://www.elvesfarm.com/">Elves Farm</a> this year to cut down our tree. While it wasn't as idyllic as <a href="http://angelicarbrem.blogspot.com/2013/12/oh-christmas-tree.html">this tree farm</a> a few years ago, it was perfect for us and Beckett loved it!</div>

Well, if you're wondering if I've died since I haven't posted in like, forever, I haven't. I've just been crazy busy with life, moving, unpacking, and getting ready for Christmas with a toddler in tow. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, I know you're probably like, what? That took <i>THIS</i> long? Yes. Doing anything with an active toddler is like running in water. Or jello. You're doing a lot of work and you don't get very far, very fast. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We absolutely LOVE our new house. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The neighborhood, (minus one set of ridiculous neighbors), the house and the area are all fab and we are so happy we chose to move out here! The house is one bedroom one bath and a mortgage shy of being perfect for us, but have no fear, we are here for a few years! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are kids everywhere, we are a 5 minute walk from a huge playground, and there is a great (safe) running lap for me. I just wish part of it was paved! My new white running shoes definitely would have appreciated that during a muddy run the other day. <i>Sigh.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We moved Thanksgiving weekend in the pouring rain and got settled as quickly as possible so we could change gears and get ready for Christmas! It's been a whirlwind but it's been so worth it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

These last two months have been nothing short of a whirlwind! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Between Beckett's Mother's Day Out, root canals, traveling to San Francisco, Waco & Round Top, Petting Zoos & Halloween, work, and now a move (UGH, yes, again) I've been swamped from sun rise to bed time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
'School' is going great and Beckett has completely adjusted- he walks right on it, puts his lunchbox in his basket (I have to carry the backpack because it's heavy!) and he goes right on into his classroom without even saying goodbye. It's so great that he enjoys it, but come on kid! Kiss your Momma goodbye at least! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Halloween was seriously fun this year. Beckett went as Captain Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates and i'm 100% sure if I never took off his costume, he wouldn't have minded! We were able to go to a trunk-or-treat at his school which was a great dress rehearsal! He also had a costume parade at school plus Halloween, so at least I feel like he got great use out of his costume!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
yo ho let's go!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm trying to remain positive about this move, but what a pain! The house we are leasing currently has really, really bad foundation issues and the owner is going to A) have to spend a LOT of money on repairs- like ripping up all the flooring and master bathroom and kitchen kind of repairs, or B) going to sell the house because it's basically a wash. So needless to say when we asked to renew under the condition that the foundation was checked and fixed and got the results, we knew that we had to get out of here. We can't wait to share our new home but until then, i'm trying to stay on top of packing so that it's as seamless as possible! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finished my 2nd half marathon in San Francisco. i finished. That's about all i'm going to say about that! I'm about to start training for a 3rd in March that I plan on being way more prepared for! It was great to get away for a weekend by myself, but I did miss my guys when I neared the finish line!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
As we gear up for the holidays, (hey Thanksgiving! You're my fav!) Im constantly reminded how lucky I am even if I am going a mile a minute! This is the busiest season of the year, and with a toddler in tow it's even busier, but I wouldn't trade it for the world! What are you thankful for during this busy season?!</div>

It's been 2-ish months since I started working part time from home and I think i've finally found a great balance between working and being a stay-at-home Mom. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so happy that I was able to stay home with Beckett, and now am able to work (and make $$!) from home. He will be starting Mother's Day Out in September, which will allow me to have a few hours of free time 2 days a week! This is definitely the way to go if your life allows it. I can't imagine heading to work 3 months after giving birth, then staying home when your child is older. The US needs to get with longer maternity leaves. Seriously. Anyways...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some days are easy peasy and some days i'm up past 11pm trying to get my work done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most days look like this:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
But no work would EVER get done if I wasn't super organized. You have to find the balance between Mom life, work life, cleaning & laundry, playdates, Gymboree classes.. the list goes on and on. Some days I feel like I get nothing accomplished, and some days I get to take a shower and blow dry my hair, go out to lunch AND get my work done. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few tips on how I stay balanced.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Write It Down.</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You are more likely to remember things when you physically write something down, so I write it alllll down. I swear by this planner and keep it with me at all times. Yes. I'm old school, whatever. I get a new one in a new color every year for Christmas (Thanks Mom!) and I keep them in our library. It's fun to pull them out every now and then and see what I was up to in years past. It's like Time Hop, but better! ;)</div>

<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://images.neimanmarcus.com/ca/1/product_assets/SU/4/F/T/2/NM-4FT2_mk.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://images.neimanmarcus.com/ca/1/product_assets/SU/4/F/T/2/NM-4FT2_mk.jpg" height="640" width="512" /></a></td></tr>

</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>Keep to a Schedule</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With a baby/toddler/kid schedule is key. Up between 7 and 8ish. Breakfast. Coloring/playing/Bubble Guppies. Nap time around 11:30. Shower get dressed. Lunch. FREE TIME. Nap again around 4, snack time, play with Daddy til Dinner, bath time, brush hair/brush teeth, lights out. We try to keep him on this schedule every day the best we can. Obviously we aren't super sticklers and we are flexible, but you know. Now, some days there are play dates, movies, and Gym, but we strive on keeping him scheduled. He knows it, we know it, and it works. This allows me time to get most of my work done by noon, then the rest during his afternoon nap and after CL gets home. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>Stay Accountable</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm lucky to have a wonderful partner who keeps me accountable and helps me when I fall behind. CL helps me out when he gets home if I've had a bad day. He makes sure that Beckett is taken care of so I can catch up, clean up, and make it to bed before midnight. He knows that I have two jobs, one of which is 24/7 and the other takes up 5 hours of my day. He knows that I can veer off course (I totally get sucked into Disney daytime programming-- no shame!) and some days Beckett just doesn't want me to get anything done. And that's ok. He's learning, and I am too! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>Make Room for Fun!</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, fun. All work and no fun makes Jack (or Angelica, or you, or anyone really) a dull boy. I try to schedule a play date, movie, fun day along with a day of Gymboree to keep us active, and well, out of the house! Some times even taking a trip to the mall for lunch is all it takes. <a href="http://drafthouse.com/">Alamo Drafthouse</a> has baby days (Check your local Alamo for what day!) where you can go and your kids can be loud, obnoxious whatever they want, while you watch movies! Obviously it's better to see kid movies, but they have adult ones too (which is great if you have an infant or baby!) You'd be surprised how well the kids do in the movie! Every time i've taken Beckett, he's been great! </div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xaf1/t51.2885-15/s640x640/sh0.08/e35/914394_837009963061017_1626996585_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xaf1/t51.2885-15/s640x640/sh0.08/e35/914394_837009963061017_1626996585_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Beckett + Popcorn + Movies = Pure Baby Bliss!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Make Time for You and your Partner</u></b><br />
This is probably the one thing we are the worst at. We are terrible at balancing being new parents and a couple... although we have been getting better at dating again since Beckett is older and we can trust him with a babysitter! I'm the worst at carving out time for myself. I can't help it if i'd rather spend my time with my family, but sometimes you need to take a yoga class, go for a run, or get a mani/pedi! (it helps if there's wine at the nail salon...) Make it a priority to spoil yourself every now and then- you deserve it!<br />
<br />
Obviously, this is what works for us, but I hope it's helpful to someone else! How do you keep balanced?</div>

It's no lie that I like sparkly things... (um hello, even my blog's name is Gelie Beans & Sparkly Things!). So when there is a chance to custom design something that sparkles, I'm so in. And who doesn't love something custom? That no one else has? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is where <a href="http://www.anjolee.com/">Anjolee</a> comes in!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.anjolee.com/">Anjolee</a> is a fabulous site where all their pieces can be customized according to metal type, diamond size, diamond or gemstone quality, and size! They offer a great selection of gemstone jewelry with choices of birthstones too! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since I just celebrated my 30th birthday, it was the perfect time to design a new pair of diamond studs!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfyefxK3tiGeW2SgoC_RIjDQSn3sPNBzC4c3EF0MpfMYkgCGselfogCArgNmWB2peTIZkpJQEawHl6ydH-LC6T-Zqm_MJOlgZHBfF6SWuCGtvniweKxq81xzJZ0utvqG2WsuwcSqyRJAek/s1600/P1010543.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfyefxK3tiGeW2SgoC_RIjDQSn3sPNBzC4c3EF0MpfMYkgCGselfogCArgNmWB2peTIZkpJQEawHl6ydH-LC6T-Zqm_MJOlgZHBfF6SWuCGtvniweKxq81xzJZ0utvqG2WsuwcSqyRJAek/s640/P1010543.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I L O V E my <a href="http://www.anjolee.com/earrings/stud-diamond-earrings/Romanced-By-Diamonds-Stud-Earrings.aspx?Item=ST983-Rd-Dia">Romanced by Diamonds Stud Earrings</a> C/O <a href="http://www.anjolee.com/">Anjolee</a> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The website is so easy to play around on and create just about anything- including dream engagement rings! Navigate to your piece of choice (wedding & anniversary, earrings, bracelets, necklaces & pendants) and you're ready to customize once you choose a piece! For me it was the <a href="http://www.anjolee.com/earrings/stud-diamond-earrings/Romanced-By-Diamonds-Stud-Earrings.aspx?Item=ST983-Rd-Dia">Romanced by Diamonds Stud Earrings</a>. They are a similar shape to my engagement ring and the perfect size for every day or dress wear. They have screw backs so there's no worry about losing them, which for a Mom with a toddler is pretty awesome. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr7_CxlKD1S4tMWLx0evPVtyA25mzkHeXXFaqR8yk6TyJF9HLGIJS8G-yL-sQR1MFp1nMFe0fEbYFmWkQvxPMJVUm-8DGBaMnPM0i08_CxA-JEVphV2yj6dQM6l18wKLyO47Bz_5x8ikqa/s1600/P1010502.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr7_CxlKD1S4tMWLx0evPVtyA25mzkHeXXFaqR8yk6TyJF9HLGIJS8G-yL-sQR1MFp1nMFe0fEbYFmWkQvxPMJVUm-8DGBaMnPM0i08_CxA-JEVphV2yj6dQM6l18wKLyO47Bz_5x8ikqa/s640/P1010502.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once you've made your selection you can play with and change the metal type, view the piece in 3D, visualize the piece on a 3D model and you have the option to download a HD image of what you're looking at. In my case it was the earrings. This was so helpful seeing the earrings on the 3D model- you get a really great visual of what they would look like on you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT7-5EF3_79KHC4K47hgKAvEWzZN4WU6WqWx1J3-cxDalZ0qspVMcjEC_gtGhC3840Ujs1BT6lN6IZZQdIormA4s9nxlJ45GHDu9BekEzbiSnEf-6h9wsv6RXx9CUplbfk-gWQyGYuq9ls/s1600/P1010505.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT7-5EF3_79KHC4K47hgKAvEWzZN4WU6WqWx1J3-cxDalZ0qspVMcjEC_gtGhC3840Ujs1BT6lN6IZZQdIormA4s9nxlJ45GHDu9BekEzbiSnEf-6h9wsv6RXx9CUplbfk-gWQyGYuq9ls/s640/P1010505.JPG" width="426" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On this page is where you have all your custom options. Every time you make a selection, it populates on the right side of the screen so you know exactly what you are choosing! You have options to choose your metal (10, 14 18 Yellow or White Gold or Platinum!), the size (total carat weight), then you get to choose your center stones!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
You have the opportunity to choose the color, clarity, cut, polish, symmetry, fluorescence, and of course price! They offer certified (GIA and IGI) or <a href="http://www.anjolee.com/educational/anjolee_diamond.aspx">Anjolee Diamond™</a>. An Anjolee Diamond™is a signature diamond that is handpicked by their expert gemologists to ensure the highest quality. The Anjolee Diamond™ Standard offers excellent cut, and very good – excellent polish and symmetry and five color/clarity combinations to choose from. Anjolee issues its own Certificate of Authenticity which guarantees the quality of the diamonds and that they are natural, authentic and genuine. Anjolee never sells treated, enhanced, or lab-created diamonds!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Anjolee offers free shipping and 30 day returns in case you aren't totally in love with your creation!

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The process is so easy and simple you'll want to order 2nds and 3rds! I mean, I'm already ready to pick out something fun! Our 5th wedding anniversary is only a couple years away.. I can't help but check out and look at all their gorgeous <a href="http://www.anjolee.com/wedding-rings-and-anniversary-rings/diamond-eternity-rings">diamond eternity bands</a>! I mean, can we celebrate early? Or a future (NOT pregnant, or planning on it any time soon, FYI) push present? Valentines? Christmas? I can come up with just about any excuse for a beautiful diamond ring!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And did I mention there's an app? It's free on iTunes and gives you all the same capabilities you have on a computer! And I know if you're about to get engaged, or just like looking at pretty things, this is a great way to pass your time!</div>

Let's preface this post with a little disclaimer.. I'm not a fashion blogger, I don't claim to be, and it was painfully awkward to walk around the resort in Mexico taking 'fashion blogger' photos, <i>but</i> I think CL and I pulled it off!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had never shopped at <a href="http://www.catofashions.com/">Cato Fashions</a>. I'd seen the stores, and never walked in.. and now I literally don't know why I waited so long! With a brand spankin' new <a href="http://www.catofashions.com/catostores.cfm?locRad=30&locZip=75074&locSt=DEFAULT">store location</a> in Dallas and one right by my house, Cato will definitely be on my list now! Now, I know you probably had some preconceived notions about this brand, as did I, but seriously, don't judge a book by it's cover. They tend to be in shopping centers near a Wal-Mart, but seriously. This experience made me a believer! I always thought this was a store for older ladies and it was a cheesey place to shop, and I'm so happy that this idea I had made up in my head was completely untrue! I'm always looking for a new place to shop and i've definitely added Cato to the list. I'm even still thinking about this <a href="http://www.catofashions.com/cato/pleated-sharkbite-dress-13526">chic green dress</a> that I seriously need to go back and get!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cato Fashions is a leading retailer of women's fashions and accessories. At Cato you’ll find the latest fashion styles for any occasion, work or play, dressy or casual in junior/misses and plus sizes at exceptional prices.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The new store is beautiful and has great light and the women that work there want you to have a great experience. I tend to like to shop without anyone bothering me, and they let me run around and pull 90,000 different pieces with no question. They even let me take all my selections into the dressing room! It was a blissful experience!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cato has junior and misses and plus sizes, so it's really a great place for everyone to shop. The clothes are a great quality (think Forever 21 prices with department store quality!) I was shocked at how cute and on trend all the clothing was-- maxi dresses, kimonos, rompers, statement necklaces, shoes, accessories, jeans and tops galore. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And the best thing? THE PRICES. Y'all. I can't talk enough about how budget friendly these clothes are! I usually start in the clearance or sale section because i'm <strike>cheap</strike> <strike>frugal</strike> <strike>smart</strike> on a budget, and I didn't even have to. I didn't see many regular priced items over $30 (excluding denim and some dresses) I'm talking $8 shorts, $12 kimonos, and a $13 romper in the clearance section.. $13!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was looking for some fun items to take with me on my trip to Mexico and Cato didn't disappoint. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This romper has quickly become my favorite summer piece. Not only was it super cute, but it fit nicely and had the cutest button detailing on the back. It was the perfect find! </div>

This skirt is seriously one of my favorite new items in my closet. The color is great for the summer and fall, and the crochet is so on trend for the summer. The best part? It fit, it was on clearance, and it made me feel chic and beautiful. I can't wait to wear it again.. maybe with a denim jacket? The possibilities are endless!</div>

I also picked up this stack of bracelets and earrings- all for under $10! The bangles are a larger size too so you don't have to squish your hands to get them on! I love how versatile they are too- I pulled the blue ones out and wore just the gold one night and they were perfect!</div>

Also, out of no where i'm a super fan of any type of casual, cotton <strike>pajama bottoms</strike> shorts for summer.. I have no less than 4 pairs, and I was so happy to add these to the mix! Perfect for running errands, hanging out with Beckett or out on the lake. Plus they have pockets! Holla! All you need is a tank and your set!<br />

On the 4th, my actual birthday!, we got up nice and early and headed into Cabo San Lucas for a snorkeling and beach trip. It was nice to get away from the resort for a little bit and see the sights! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cabo is really beautiful and has amazing sea life. If you scuba i'd recommend diving here- it was amazing just snorkeling, but you get so much more out of diving- plus it isn't as crowded! (we would have dove, but CLs stomach...)</div>

We spent an hour on a boat, followed by an hour snorkeling at Pelican Beach, then spent an hour on Lover's Beach having a picnic lunch and relaxing on the beach before heading back. If you are ever in Cabo, we highly recommend <a href="http://www.esperanzastours.com/">Esperanza's Tours</a>!</div>

The resort had a big 4th of July party on the lawn so we checked it out before heading to dinner. It was so fun getting a real Independence Day experience in Mexico! We ate at the Japanese (hibachi) restaurant (my fav!) and sat with a really fun bunch of South American girls. They totally made my night by taking birthday shots, sake bombs, being loud and fun, and singing 'Happy Birthday!' to me in both English and Spanish! They also sang some other fun song and did a lot of cheering. It was awesome.</div>

(PS a HUGE thanks to my Mom, brother/Uncle Nic, Momadear & Granddaddy, Nadia and Jad for watching and visiting Beckett in Austin! I know he had a blast because he never wanted to FaceTime with us when we checked in! He was always too busy having fun! He sure loves y'all! xoxo)</div>

Hey gang. It's been a LONG time since i've written anything, and I hate that. SO much has gone on in the last few <strike>months</strike> weeks, and a lot has been weighing on me, and it's time to let it all out! So reader beware. This is a little raw and the language may be less than nice. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, first things first. I'm now working part time, 100% from home. It's a dream job, and I am thanking my lucky stars that I'm able to provide <strike>shopping money</strike> extra income and stay home with Beckett. It's the best feeling, ever. I'm so lucky that this opportunity fell into my lap. Lucky lady right here! </div>

I also haven't blogged in a while due to <strike>some bitch</strike> someone threatening me with legal action over something she referred to as slander. What she's not aware of is that not only do I have proof (CL was there) but Google chat and my old iPhone have written evidence of that what she's saying is slander is in fact the truth. Let's just say I would have NEVER married or stayed with a guy who sober or not would ever even <i>think </i>about laying a hand on me in a violent way. #JustSayin She thinks im 'obsessed' with her... "<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">I'm not sure why my life is so interesting to you and why you are so obsessed with it." </span> She thinks everything I blog, tweet, share on Instagram is about her.. truth is, I could give <strike>two shits</strike> care less about anything to do with her, her family, her blog... anything. The saddest part is that not only was I part of her wedding, she was part of mine. Such is life, I guess. (If you want more details, you can email me privately.) So, <strike><i>Fuck Off </i></strike>I'll be praying for her. (Im 99.9% sure i'll get another 'Please Stop' email regarding this too. I really hate how sensitive and entitled people are these days. Whatever.)</div>

CL bought himself a new project.. A 1963 International Harvester Scout 80. If that doesn't ring a bell to you, you aren't alone! haha. It's got all original parts and once it's done, its going to be an awesome weekend vehicle. Im excited for him, but not excited about all the gross, dirty laundry that comes with restoring a vintage vehicle...</div>

For those of you who know us personally, or have been following along for years know we have 2 dogs.. Molly & Bailey. Bailey was CL's dog before meeting me and I adopeted Molly after we met. Bailey had been part of our family since 2008 and with the heaviest of hearts left our home last week after a few incidents involving some <strike>biting</strike> nipping. She has found a new home with an Aussie Rescue and will be living out her days on lots of land herding whatever her little heart desires. We miss her terribly, but had to do what was best for her, and our family. We did all we could to keep her, but would never be able to live with ourselves is she turned on Beckett, one of his buddies, or another adult. (And before you say anything, we tried training, running her ragged, everything and putting her down or taking her to a shelter was not an option) It's still a fresh wound, and we love her dearly. It's been really hard.</div>

I think that hits on the highs and lows as of recent. I've got a couple cool collaborations coming up and I *promise* that i'll be posting more often and more regularly!</div>

With my 30th Birthday rapidly approaching (a month from today, exactly!!), i've been taking a lot of time to reflect on what all i've accomplished since i've been on this beautiful earth. While I haven't done everything I want to do in this lifetime, i've actually accomplished a lot and have a lot to be proud of. Here's a few...</div>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<ul>
<li>I'm still alive. With so much violence, accident, and disease in this world, I'm very lucky to just exist after 30 years. </li>
<li>Graduated Kindergarten, Elementary, Middle, Junior High, High School and College! With honors, without honors.. does it even matter anymore? hah.</li>
<li>Visited 23 out of 50 States.. That includes Hawaii but doesn't include Puerto Rico. So almost half! </li>
<li>Started a family. Including getting engaged, married and having a baby!</li>
<li>Trained and ran a 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon! Half #2 in September!</li>
<li>Kept a dog alive since she was a puppy! Can you believe Molly is <u>6</u> already?!</li>
<li>Traveled to Europe. I actually flew to Madrid alone, so hey, that's a bonus! </li>
<li>Volunteered hundreds of hours to helping those in my community less fortunate than I. There is nothing better than being able to help someone in your own backyard that is in need.</li>
<li>Been published on-line and in print! (In print over 10x including articles for a magazine and our wedding being featured!)</li>
<li>Never broken a bone! (currently knocking on wood!) I tore some ligaments in my ankle once, but that's been the worst injury to date! Unless you count those stitches when I was 4...</li>
<li>Taught myself basic HTML. I know, sounds cool, but when you don't want to pay someone to develop things on your blog, you gotta do it yourself! And this day in age, its actually pretty useful!</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I know that doesn't seem like a lot, nor is it a '30 before 30' list, but hey, is 'Taking a just because trip' or 'Pay off all debt' or 'Learn to use my camera properly' something I need to make a list for? Didn't think so. I know I gotta do that stuff!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm actually looking forward to my 30s. My 20s were full of <b><i>a lot</i></b> (I mean <b><i>A LOT</i></b>)of learning, mistake making, adventures, defeat, success, confusion, and clarity. I feel like in your 30s you get to take all the shit you learned in your 20s and build on that. This is the time to make the most of it- to be (older &) wiser. To start really enjoying the small things and not sweat the small stuff. And to stop caring what other people think or expect. You are in the driver seat!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, here I go into my 30s! One month to go! (And no, Uncle Garry, this isn't me celebrating my 'birthday month'! ;) haha!!)</div>

Yes, you read that correctly.. Oreo Cookie Butter! This recipe actually works with any type of cookie, so just imagine the possibilities! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Package of Oreos (or thin mints, or peanut butter cookies, or chocolate chip cookies...!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) of butter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 cup of condensed, sweetened milk</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/4 cup evaporated milk</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Start with the cookies.. now the <a href="https://buttercreamchantilly.wordpress.com/2014/03/05/biscoff-speculoos-spread/">recipe I adapted</a> this from recommends that you remove the cream from the middle of the Oreo Cookies.. and I did. (Side note, you can totally leave the cream in.. next time I will!) It takes a little while, but with a butter knife, the cream comes right off the cookies.. don't worry about getting it all!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a little more than 3/4 of the package.. there were about 7 cookies left over. You'll have plenty of wet ingredient made so don't be afraid to use the entire pack of cookies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

In a sauce pan, melt the butter and add the evaporated milk and the sweetened, condensed milk and stir until combined. (Use a wisk, it works better than a spoon! You can also melt the butter in the microwave and combine in a bowl!)</div>

Using about 1/2 cup of the wet mixture, add to the cookie crumbs and combine. Add until the cookie mixture is <i>just </i>wet enough to stay together. If you keep the cream in the Oreo you will need less liquid, and if you take the cream out, you'll need more. Drier cookies (cream-less ones like sugar or thin mints) need more than a softer cookie, so just pay attention as you are stirring!<br />

To soften the cookie butter leave it out to come to room temperature, or you can add a <i>litttttle</i> bit of water and stir in.. it will look like its not mixing in, but then voila! It will loosen the butter up a bit making it easier to dip and spread! We ate ours by the spoonful, but how yummy would it be over some strawberries, pretzels, or graham cracker?!</div>

Setting a good example for Beckett never seems to stop.. from what we eat, to how we talk and act, and how we take care of ourselves.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's no shocker that i've been trying to set a good example of a healthy and fit lifestyle for Beckett, even though we don't turn down a good burger or a cupcake now and then! I trained and <a href="http://angelicarbrem.blogspot.com/2014/10/i-ran-sf.html">ran a half marathon </a> and go to yoga 4-5x a week. Im also about to start training for another (hopefully 2) half marathon's and we go for walks whenever we can.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But that's for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While we can give Beckett all the best organic foods (which we do), make him drink water, his rice milk and occasionally his organic 2% chocolate milk, we also make sure he gets great exercise. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is <i>so</i> important to set your kids up for a healthy, fit lifestyle. Without showing them that exercise can be fun, they will never want to do anything. And while Beckett is <i>only</i> 15 months old and won't be running any marathons or playing football any time soon, we have found great, age appropriate physical fun! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few fun things we have found that work great for keeping our son healthy and active!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>Gymboree Play and Learn!</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't say enough amazing things about <a href="https://www.gymboreeclasses.com/en/">Gymboree</a>. My Mom so wonderfully gifted Beckett with 'GymGym' Play and Learn Classes when we moved to Texas and it's been such a blessing. Not only have I met some amazing ladies, but Beckett has learned so much and made so many friends! It's a safe environment so he can learn to climb, roll, fall, and play with others. We go to class for an hour every week, so you can imagine he goes 100mph for the whole hour, then takes a great nap! He is getting stronger and braver every week! They set up class differently every couple weeks focusing on different strengths.. balance, climbing, partners, core, hand-eye coordination.. you name it! Plus we get bubble time, which is B's absolute favorite! The best part? Open Gym time! With each class you unlock all the open gym time you desire! So when someone needs to run out some energy and its been raining for <strike>days</strike> weeks.. open gym to the rescue! </div>

<u style="text-align: center;"><b>Healthy Treats!</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I read somewhere that you shouldn't give your kids dessert every night because they will learn to expect it. So we don't give Beckett sweets every day (fruit excluded.. he can eat as much fruit as he wants!). As part of Beckett's diet (animal crackers, chocolate milk, etc. included!) We try and sneak in healthy but tasty options! Chobani Kids has some great, healthy options that not only taste great, but can be frozen and double as teething treats! His favorite is the <a href="http://www.chobani.com/products/kids#banana">Chobani Kids Banana Greek Yogurt</a> pops. We freeze them and cut them in half so that he can hold them, and boy does he love them! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Made with only natural ingredients and no artificial sweeteners or flavors, we have no issues letting Beckett have one for a snack or a dessert treat! Plus they have live and active cultures, 3 types of probiotics and have no preservatives! #ChobaniKids has a lot of yummy options for tots and kids.. like Grape, Watermelon, Vanilla and Chocolate! Check them all out <a href="http://www.chobani.com/products/kids#grape-and-strawberry">here!</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>Get Outside!</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We try and go for a walk, to the park, or even just in the back or front yard every day! Beckett loves to slide and swing (and pick up every piece of mulch!) so when the weather permits, we walk to the park! We also walk to the mailbox (in front of our house) and around the block and anywhere else we can! It's such an easy way to get in a little exercise and quality time!</div>

<u><b>Open Gym Playdates!</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Along with Gymboree, we try and check out other open gyms! Check your local recreation centers for Tiny Tots gyms and local gymnastics gyms for open gym times. This is a great way for kids to get some energy out, get plenty of exercise and socialize! While we don't go to these evert week (they usually cost somewhere between $6-8) we try and go whenever we get invited! Each place will offer different activities like bounce houses or trampolines!</div>

One of my indulgences is family photos. I know, right? There is just something warm and fuzzy about having current family (and Beckett) photos around the house. So when the wildflowers started popping up it was due time for some new pics!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kristen did an amazing job, per usual, capturing our sweet Beckett. He cooperated and everything! CL and I were also able to get a couple shots of just us.. the first professional ones since our WEDDING almost 3 years ago! haha. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Luckily with all the rain we've had, the flowers were vibrant, the grass was green, and for ONE day, the sun was shining! Here are a few of our faves!</div>
