My Week in iPhone Pics

Well, hello there! It's been quite a week around here! 

I'm not really even sure what happened, but somehow blogging completely moved to the back-burner this week. I've been tired, a little sick, and overall just busy with life! I'm currently laying low and staying warm on this St. Patrick's Day, with my belly full of an Olive Garden soup knock-off involving kale, potatoes, and sausage. 

My tribute to the Irish. Or something like that ;)

Anyways, while I may have been absent from this little blog for most of the week, I didn't slack on taking cell phone pictures. Here's what our week looked like:

Meeting my good friend's new baby! 

Elliott dancing away......

 Snuggled up with my nice clean pooch. He's always more cuddly when he's clean.

Look up Seasonal Affective Disorder in the dictionary, and I'm sure this is the picture next to it! Sheesh!

 Ellie was really too cute for words this week. In the car, she tried to convince me that puppies say "cockadoodledoo"!

The sun came out for about 2.2 seconds. We enjoyed every minute second of it.

 What? You don't eat strawberries topped with cool whip and watch Jersey Shore by yourself on Thursday nights?!

Snacks. Like a boss.

What did your week look like? I'd love to see!

My Week in iPhone Pics

I swear sometimes the weeks just fly by! And then other times, they don't. Ha!
This week actually did fly by, which is great because I was more than ready for the weekend!

While I'm soaking up some weekend fun with my family, here's a look back at our week, via iPhone pics:

MONDAY

Monday isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be......or maybe that's just because I have Mondays off? Anywho, our Monday was fun and laid-back.....cute pig-tails, a healthy mommy lunch during naptime, and a toddler who's growing SO fast!

TUESDAY

Tuesdays make me understand why people hate Mondays :) It was back to work (for me) and the babysitter's house (for Ellie), so we fancied up E's hair just a bit to make our day a little brighter. Little did I know I'd be caught in a blizzard by the time I got to work! It was all okay.....the snow was so pretty, and it melted within a few hours. Ellie must have had a good day, since she was being a cheese ball in the bath tub.

WEDNESDAY

Wednesdays are always a LONG day for me. Wake up with the toddler, get ready, take her to the babysitter's, go to work, pick her up after work, scramble around to make dinner, put the toddler to bed.......than I pass out on the couch while waiting for Scott to get home. I tried to make the best of it this week and I painted Ellie's nails. She's been asking for it almost every day, so I finally treated her to a little manicure. She's obsessed. Also on Wednesday, I was playing around with my phone and found my new favorite way to record recipes that I like or want to try.....I take a snapshot on my phone of the recipe, whether it's on a website or a blog, etc. Why didn't I think of this sooner?!

Thursday

More recipes "pinned" on my phone. See? I'm a little obsessed with snapping photos of new recipes.....I saved this one and made it on Friday. It was delicious! And since Thursday is really my Friday, we celebrated with some take-out Teriyaki, Poor Scott had to share with Ellie :) And a sleeping babe is always the best way to top off a Thursday night, right?

Friday

Friday began with Ellie's newest book craze, Skippyjon Jones. I'm not gonna lie, I love that little cat/chihuahua just as much as Ellie does! Our day continued with some shopping and lunch at my work with friends, which clearly wore Ellie out......she fell asleep with a sucker in her mouth! That didn't last long though, because once we were home she decided she didn't actually need a nap. Hmmmm. Instead, Elliott danced around in her new bathing suit and stole bites of my Cadbury Egg. I guess there are worse things in life.

So....that was about it! If you took cell phone pics this week, link up with Amy and join the club!

Our last week or so via iPhone Pictures.

Our week consisted of: sleeping with her hand in the goldfish bag, freezer smoothie prep, Elliott's pants are still a wee bit too big, pig tails to-die for, vintage cutie, new plates made of recycled milk jugs!, bathing beauty, workin' around the house, I got to sleep in!!!, the perfect grilled cheese, fro-yo, grocery shopping.

Phew. And we're ready to do it all over again tomorrow. Wheeeee!

Linking up with Amy.....you should, too!

My Week in iPhone Pics

I haven't posted my iPhone pics here in a couple of weeks......so that means you should prepare yourself for an epic iPhone photo-dump. Don't say I didn't warn you!

There you have it, our last couple o' weeks via my iPhone. If you follow me on twitter, instagram (esmomma), or facebook, you've probably already seen these. And if you don't follow me.....well, why not?! ;)

I'm linking up with Amy, and you should too!!

My Week in iPhone Pics

Can someone please explain to me how tomorrow is Monday already?! I've been thoroughly enjoying a weekend of sweatpants and laundry folding, book reading and nail painting. But this news that tomorrow starts a new week? Kinda putting a damper on my weekend fun.

Anyways, here's a look back at last week. I'm going to try to make this Sunday afternoon last as long as possible!

On Monday I indulged in a little left-over birthday cake. Then we went to my brother's house, where the cousins always have a good time playing. This time, they even shared a chair!

Tuesday Ellie showed the world how cool it is to eat breakfast in your underwear. This was after I actually took the time to dry my hair AND put on make-up.....it's amazing what those few extra minutes of self-care did for my attitude!

Wednesday I finally got to break out the new Toms I got for Christmas. Elliott delicately sipped her bath water (gross!) and spit it back out.

Thursday Ellie loved playing with the sit n spin that she got for her birthday, and we all enjoyed Panda Express for dinner. Yum!

Friday was Elliott's 2 year check up at the doctor's office.....she was a champ for her shots, so of course we headed to target for some treats! I also got a much needed girl's night on Friday night. My husband kept me giggling with silly texts like this one while I was out.

How was your week? I know that the weekend is coming to a close, but I'm just not ready for another week to start yet! I would love one more day of lounging around the house....but I know that it's back to reality tomorrow!

My Week in iPhone Pics

I have felt like a totally scatter-brained blogger lately! I'm so sorry if you've emailed me, or just not seen many comments from me. It seems like when I get a chance, I'll whip out a few posts, and then I don't even look at my computer for days on end! I've been super busy, but hopefully blogging and connecting with all of my bloggy friends will make it back onto my to-do list soon!!

Let's catch up a little, shall we? Here's our last week via iPhone Pics:

All in all, we had a pretty good week! Every evening of mine has been spent crafting up a storm for Etsy orders, and to get ready for someone's 2nd Birthday party.....which is in less than a week!! Seriously, you know this week is going to be full of my tears, reminiscing, and taking trips down memory lane. At the end of the week I'm going to have a two year old!?! Hold me!

And, if you want to link up your iPhone pics too, go see Amy and then do it!!

My Week in iPhone Pics

I'm going to try and share a lot of iPhone pics on here again, like I used to! 

It's so fun......cell phone pictures are such a big part of my life, as silly as that sounds ;) 

I always always have my phone with me, so some moments are best captured with it! I'm just learning how to use templates in Photoshop, and I'm testing them out today 

(because obviously I need all the practice I can get! Ha!)

So here's a little bit of our week, documented in iPhone pics!

 Elliott is too cool for school......that's why I like to copy her and we wear matching socks ;)

 I ordered myself some leopard-print-sequined Sperry's as a belated Christmas present.....a little daring for my wardrobe, but I love them! Scott and I were entirely too amused by Ellie's adorable Happy Meal French Fries. And, Ellie's bed is getting a little crowded these days!

 Scott and Elliott couldn't be any cuter during pre-dinner playtime......and I'll leave you with E's new "Cheese face". Love.

I hope y'all are having a great weekend! I know I am ;)

The Nativity

This past weekend, I kinda sorta invited myself over to my parent's house.

I was craving old times, where we'd blast Christmas music, drink hot cocoa, and decorate the house together. It turned into something I really love doing with my mom. And even now that I have my own house to decorate, it's just so much cozier at her's. So Elliott and I made ourselves at home and got to work.

Okay, we actually got just about nothing done to help my mom out in the decorating department. But I got to look through all of my old ornaments, and Ellie got to decorate cupcakes and drink hot chocolate and pretty much just be spoiled with sweets and attention. It was a good day. I did get my cocoa (with peppermint marshmallows.....yum!) and we did help my mom with one very special decoration: The Nativity

I almost teared up watching my mom and Ellie, both so focused and sincere, pull each piece of the Nativity scene out of the box. My mom would explain what each piece was and why it was important. Ellie was incredibly gentle with the fragile pieces (as gentle as an almost-two-year-old can be) and seemed to be paying attention, for the most part. It was a really sweet, tender moment.

Once all the pieces were out of hiding, my mom let Ellie play with them, as long as she was being gentle. And while Ellie was gentle for about 20 minutes or so, she was also pretty silly. This girl has quite the imagination. She was very concerned that baby Jesus had a stinky diaper, which she needed to change. She kept plugging her nose and saying "eewww, stinky dipe!" "change diaper"

I laughed so hard. It was one of those mom moments that I'll never forget.

Our Week in iPhone Pics

I took an unexpected break from blogging this weekend, and it was nice!

And today, I'm playing catch-up with both my housework, and this blog :)

So here are iPhone pics from last week! Enjoy!

Link up with Amy, it's fun!

Wordless Wednesday: Home

My house always feels much more like home when the Christmas decorations are up!

And, there's nothing like the glow of white Christmas lights. They're the best ;)
