So, I'm new to the blogging world. Kind of. I've always loved to write in journals and then on-line.
I was a big Myspace fan, yes I'm dating myself but it is true.
I had a TEEN Live Journal, super cool and a few other Blogger blogs along the way that I've kind of just forgot about, or forgot the password to. But this time I'm committed! I swear. I would love to be able to look back at this 10 or 20 years from now and remember the things going on in our lives, my kid's when they were little and it's kind of like a virtual scrapbook, something I use to enjoy doing when I was younger, like high school, if you haven't gathered I was/am a nerd.
That was a long winded explanation as to what this blog will be about, while I would like to envision sharing my wisdom, reciped, diy, cleaning, perfectionist tendencies with the masses I would also like this to be a personal journal of the things I enjoy, the people I enjoy doing them with & the God that lets me enjoy them at all.
Had a great Mom's Day Out yesterday!
Since getting to Hawaii I haven't really been able to connect with anyone too much despite having lived here before. For me, that's hard, I'm a people person and while I do love my computer as much as the next person I like BEING with people. Actually being with them, letting our kids play together, talking, eating, and more often than not drinking coffee.
So when the opportunity came up to spend the day with a new friend from church I pounced on it!
I met up with K at Ala Moana Mall in Honolulu, it was a perfect timing since she's actually in the hospital today delivering her 2nd baby, a sweet girl named Noel, by C-Section today. Many prayers and birthing dust sent her way!
We're both bargain shoppers, I love a good deal and really try to teach my children the true value of money. So we shopped around the mall for a bit, I found the perfect kitchen table for us at Sears for $89!
I'm really excited for this one since we've been using a folding table and chairs since we got here. The benches open up for storage which is also a huge plus for me! I've also started Christmas shopping as well, in May, I know. But with 4 kids this Christmas as well as everyone else I try to pick up a few things here and there that I find for cheap so it's not overwhelming us towards the end of the year. I don't believe Christmas is something to get in debt for!
Got Lily a "My Dad is Rad!" shirt, Thor & Hulk Ugly type Dolls at the Disney Store for Jonas and an adorable yellow plaid jumper for Tulip. Also my beautiful friend K brought me a bag of brand new clothes for Tulip! It amazes me how God can provide so much through the people that truly care about us.
After some very fun shopping we had lunch at California Pizza Kitchen. Food is one of my greatest pleasures, both cooking it & eating a great meal someone else prepared!
Our preggo lady fancy drinks for lunch. Peach & Raspberry Italian Sodas with cream.
The food was great and the conversation was even better. It has been so great to find some really good Christian women friends in that we can encourage and support each other without gossip or negativity, two things that I really cannot stand in my life anymore. It has been hard lessons learned that these things we're not doing anything for me.
After lunch we ended our wonderful day out with a trip to the movies!
What to Expect When You're Expecting
Pretty fitting if you ask me, although if you ask me I would also not recommend that book to anyone pregnant woman! We do not need a scare manual, pregnancy is a beautiful, natural process that we as women are blessed to get to experience. <3
The movie follows 5 couples as they go through the journey of being pregnant.
I thought it did a really good job in showing the many different sides of pregnancy, they depict a miscarriage, someone that ends up getting a C-Section & an adoption. All sweetly and without too much drama. I read some other reviews that talked about the thin plot line, etc. And yes it doesn't have the most in depth stories ever but they are all done well and my favorite part was the Dudes Club, a group of Dads that like Moms complain about their kids and how challenging it can be at times but also love them and feel happier than they have every been in there lives. It really reminded me of my husband and what a great Father he is, if you've seen the movie the Chris Rock character reminds me of him the most!
Maybe I'm getting older, or maybe life has been harder on me where I don't want to see fights, back stabbing, affairs, or maybe I have gotten *gasp* more conservative but the light hearted story line was exactly what I was in the mood for. It is definitely one I will buy when it comes out, plus anytime I see a newborn I pretty much bawl.
All in all a great day, awesome deals, good lunch, and a cute movie.
Can't wait to do it again!
My beautiful friend K, the day before she gave birth to her daughter Noel & me at 21 weeks with Tulip!
