By the time this post is being seen by you all my sister most likely has had her baby! Woohoo! I love being an aunt, and love that I get to be an aunt again in a few more weeks when my sister in law is due. Baby crazy over in my family right now, and its surreal to think that in 8-10 weeks I will have my little man. Also, we have a name for him. An official, 100% for sure, name! J wants to tell everyone, but I want to keep this little secret just to us, since we rarely get to do that. With that being said, I thought I would let you all in on a little bit of truth this week.
I had every intention of DIYing some natural egg dye for making eggs with Bray today, and then I saw this box at Walgreens and thought- HEY this is already done for me AND he is obsessed with Mickey. So really, that makes me a selfless mom for getting something that I know he will like then right?!
Next up, the fact that there is a 99% chance that at any moment when you walk in to my kitchen {that I honestly try and clean up before bed each night} you will see some sort of tool. I don’t know how it happens, especially when I do try and keep it tidy, but something is always there. Is yours like this?
Also, I hide candy from Bray. I am a self proclaimed sweets addict. I try and keep a healthy-ish diet, but when it comes to dessert, and candy specifically, I have zero self control. I used to just keep a box of something on the counter, which was good because then I would control it by only having one box at a time. But then, well everything changed when my sweet little boy started recognizing candy boxes as something he wanted {even though hes barely ever had any!} and I had to hide them. Downside to this? I end up forgetting I have some, and buy another box…and another box. Also, quite ironic that I have this crap stashed away below my Young Living essential oils;) Do you hide your candy stash from your kids?
And finally, a partial truth. We have a big, big, project going on. And unfortunately I can’t tell you more right now, but hopefully soon. So while this might annoy some of you for only being able to share the partial truth, I hope it also excites some of you for the future!
And thats it. Those are my confessions for the week. What are yours?
Love your confessions… can’t wait to see what the picture project is.
No offense at all, and I normally would just keep quiet and roll my eyes to myself (lol) but I think keeping baby names a “secret” is absolutely silly. It is VERY anti-climactic, and once the name is “revealed” there aren’t really honest Ooh’s and Aah’s…..they are more forced because we feel obligated to have some kind of reaction to the name even if we normally wouldn’t. That is just my opinion, but I thought I’d share. So many friends do this and I hate it every time. You picked a great name for your first. I am sure you’ll do the same with your second. Congrats.
