I am MARRIED!!!!!!

H4L (Hubbs for life) and I are back from Vegas and Happily married! I have so many stories to share but I don't have time just yet. We are 3 days away from our Hometown reception, and lots of planning still to be completed! So Here are a few pics from our Halloween Masquerade ball wedding to tease you with! I promise to update completely after the hometown reception!!

Happy Halloween!!!!

My Mom and Dad are getting married today!!

Since My momma is super busy getting all beautified in her Black wedding dress I thought I would play on her laptop, even though she said "No Touch" and tell all HER fabulous people

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Toodles,

BABY DIVA

Time out for Mom

IT IS THURSDAY!!!! THETA MOM TIME OUT TIME!!

AND THAT IS NOT ALL...

I AM EITHER ON MY WAY OR ALREADY IN LAS VEGAS FOR MY WEDDING, depending on when you read this of course. And yes I cheated and set this to post Thursday, when really in fact I am writing in on Wednesday. So sue me!

I followed my orders from the fabulous Theta Mom and snagged some time to myself! I know incredibly hard to believe that this Pink Haired Momma Bridezilla actually got a few moments alone the week of her wedding!!!! But honestly I really didnt want Theta Mom coming after me and cracking her wooden spoon to remind me that wedding, mommahood, life...none of that matters if I dont remember to take care of myself! And that is what Theta Mom really wants us moms to realize and to incorporate into our lives by taking this challenege each week and giving ourselves, as momma's, that 1 hour of time we need to keep our sanity level in check!

So what did I do? Flab shaking! Yep I took myself again to my favorite Nightclub Cardio class and boogied down. I baked 2 dozen yummy red velvet iced with vanilla and decorated with Skull cupcakes for Hubbs-to-be to take to work. Cleaned the house. Got almost packed for our Las Vegas Journey. Ordered up our best ever baby sitter who raced right over and off I went to shake my butt rolls!! Now somehow I have managed to get a little stress fracture in one of the tiny bones in my right foot, I know classic for a bride walking down the aisle in 3 days, so I just didn't bounce too much on that foot. I just pretend that it is nothing LOL! But I shook my bootie and got my rolls a swinging! I Love it!

Shake shake shake, Shake shake shake, shake that pink haired momma fat shake that pink haired momma fat!!

I hope you momma's snagged you some Theta Mom time too this week. I am not going to lie. I will not be reading your posts today because I am in LAS VEGAS about to get married!! But I do promise I will be hunting those time out posts down when I get back and will run off and tattle to Theta mom if you didn't steal some alone time for yourself! heheheeheh!!

Have a great week my friends!! And fabulous Halloween and I cant wait to share when we get back! I will be updating about the wedding via FB and twitter so stay tuned!!

Wordless Wednesday

Playing in the Hay at the pumpkin Patch!

She is a country girl at heart!!

Defining Moments

One year ago today I had a crazy Baby DIVA thrusting about inside my abdomen. She liked to take her DIVA toes and stick them way up under my right rib cage and push with an enormous force! I hurt so much and was so uncomfortable that I had to lean to the left. I was the leaning tower of Michelle for many weeks.

So 1 year ago today I checked into the hospital for one of my infusions for the CIDP I have (or as many of you know that may be dormant now!!!). While being pregnant the doctors liked to have me in the hospital, just in case, during these infusions. And you know I didn't mind being there so much too, just in case. After arriving chaos ensued, of course. The orders for my medicine were not complete, big surprise, so I had to wait. And Wait and Wait and wait. Finally afters nearly 9 hours of waiting my orders were cleared up and my meds were rocking and a rolling through my veins. Given that it was already 6pm, the doctors invited me to spend the night at the hospital. Their thoughts were a pregnant woman, high risk, pissed off, probably shouldn't drive home after a late start and completion to her treatment around midnight! I agreed. Called Hubbs-to-be and shared the news, tucked in for the night and fell asleep listening to the sounds of my meds flowing via IV into my body and Baby DIVA toes tickling my ribs. I will let you know that i did display an elevated blood pressure during this whole ordeal, mostly we assumed it was because I was not very happy with the hospital staff.

The next morning came along. And since I hadn't planned on spending the night, I had no clean underwear. If you have ever been pregnant you know this is soooooooo not a good thing. For some reason the nunu tries to eat all underwear during pregnancy and the need to change them often is very great. Not something most people know, but definitely something a pregnant woman gets annoyed at! So you can imagine the fabulous mood I was in right? Add that to just the overall fatness of being 30 weeks preggo and being in a hospital and it was no wonder that my blood pressure was up. Oh and the breakfast sucked. Again not something you want to do. Take an already pissy pregnant woman with dirty undies and feed her disgusting food. Not good at all!!

So anyway I may have failed to mention to you and the doctors that I had been having some vision issues in the few days before this lovely event. BAM!! not leaving. Nope! After I dropped that bomb, Going for some tests was in my future, yuck undies and all. Okay so off i went. 5 hours, I kid you not 5 hours later I was wheeled back to my room and my fabulous Dr was there to greet me. He asked them to take my blood pressure. 170/110. Not good.

He gave me this look. I knew before the words even came out of his mouth! "We need to get your baby out for your safety and the baby's safety." I began to panic. Baby DIVA was only 30 weeks tummy growth. Tear streamed down my cheeks. I called Hubbs-to-be. All he got was the sound of my crying. Poor dude. I bet his big heart jumped through his chest. Called my mom, sobbing. This little event of course did wonders for my blood pressure. Nurses were racing all around me. Steroid shot was swiftly given to help Baby DIVA's little lungs mature. IV's were placed "just in case". Okay that freaked me out some. The "just in case" was not my friend any more. I was sobbing sobbing sobbing. Finally the Dr left the room and the nurses calmed me down. My blood pressure came down. Not much but enough not to do an emergency birth of a 30 week gestation Baby DIVA. I was told I was on bed rest indefinitely. Wow I thought. It is October 27 and I am due on Christmas day. My ASS is gonna be HUGE!!!!

So my Dr and I worked out a deal and pinky swore. He would not take Baby DIVA from her womb hotel just yet, if I promised to stay flat in bed for the duration. I must monitor my blood pressure and if it begins to climb then the eviction notice to Baby DIVA would HAVE to be served. I pinky swore that I would follow his orders. And I did. I missed my work baby shower. Lucky for me, Hubbs-to-be and I worked at the same company. So he went on to the shower and let me be there via phone, and he brought me a plate of yummies later that night! Too cool. That shower just happened to be on Halloween last year! Awwww and now I am getting married on Halloween!

I laid in the bed for what seemed like forever, day 1 completed nicely. HAHA. What came as a shock to me occurred on about day 4 or 5. I begin to feel my body relax. Baby DIVA and I began to have a closer connection. She responded more to my voice and my movements. I then realized that working was in fact stressing my bod out to the max. I had no idea until I took a forced step away from my life what I was doing to myself and my unborn Baby DIVA. And that was it. That was the moment that I knew my life was forever changed. I no longer lived for me. I lived for those toes that were aggravating my ribs. It was in that moment I knew I need to change my life and be there for my little Baby DIVA. Forced bed rest allowed me to become the woman I am today. The motherr I am today. the wifey to be I am today. It was the defining moment of my evolvment into motherhood and domestication. I momement that I hold very near to my heart. That day gave me the glimpse of my destiny!

So I changed my ways. I begin a quest to find a way to work from home. At first it was more of a dream. I never thought I would actually be able to pull it off. But thankfully for bed rest, I was able to research the possibility and really pursue it. Unfortunately lying in bed did not help my forever climbing blood pressure. Soon my quest was put on hold and I was thrust into another sudden change.

I was being monitored very closely by the doctors. Twice a week visits that involved ultrasounds and contractions monitors and close watch of the blood pressure. One month into bed rest, the Monday before Thanksgiving, My Dr gone a vacay to celebrate turkey day, one month early for Baby DIVA's arrival; I went in for a checkup. Contractions were observed every 6-8 minutes, although I didn't know. And then the Blood pressure revealed my destiny. 180/120. Baby DIVA was served her eviction notice. I was 34 weeks 5 days. It was time. It was too risky for Baby DIVA to stay in her womb hotel and too Risky for me to keep her there. So there I go again making those crazy phone calls. No tears this time. I was scared but I knew this needed to be done. And honestly I was DONE! I wanted to hold this wonderful creature and love on her for the rest of eternity.

These pics were taken the day before bed rest!

So off I went to be induced. baby DIVA was on her way. 1 month early! A turkey day babe instead of a Christmas day babe for this Pink Haired Momma.

So you see today is a day for me to always remember. A day that set in to motion a changed woman. A day that made me wake up and realize that I am a domesticated Pink Haired Momma. My daughter, hubbs-to-be and my life are by far the most important things in the world to me. My career although fun and rewarding means nada in the wake of this fabulous discovery on my part! I love my daughter more than words can describe. I am thankful that I received this little wake up call of bed rest that guided me into the life I have now as a WAHM and the best Pink Haired Momma I can be.

5 days to go and my first disaster!!!!

Pink Haired Bridezilla here.

I got an email today alerting me to the fact that MASKS are prohibited in the hotel in Las Vegas where my wedding is to take place on Halloween. Not usually a big deal except I just happen to have a masquerade ball wedding theme! Complete with the entire wedding party wearing masks as well as the guests wearing masks! UMMMMMMM BRIDEZILLA IS COMING UNDONE!!!

I spent months hunting the perfect masks for the guests. I finally found authentic handmade and painted venetian masks! I will be so upset if my favors for my guests are not able to be utilized! Never mind the fact that my entire wedding party is designed around the bridal party masks!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


So my coordinator is currently working on it. Speaking with heads of this and heads of that. I now get to sit and wait until tomorrow morning to find out if my wedding will go as planned!

Dang it! Just when I was so excited to sit and relax knowing everything was a go, everything was ready, no worries what so ever! Then BAM!!!

UGH!!!

9 days and counting! Ramblings of a soon to be Bride!

Holy Crap!

We are in the single digits countdown to our wedding! I am sweating pink bullets. Little pink ponds are being left all over Houston as I wander aimlessly about town. Beware my friends! A crazed bride to be Pink Haired Momma is on the loose!

So are we ready? Not Exactly.

Vegas is almost wrapped up. We just need to pack. Oh, and overnight ship a bunch of stuff to ourselves, because YES! it is so much cheaper to overnight our luggage than to pay for it to go on the plane! Pretty wild huh!! Rings have been purchased and are ready. Masks are en route as I type. Dress is in its special little transport bag and waiting its departure to Las Vegas. Hot pink shoes and diamond flip flops are waiting patiently to be packed, but I love looking at them so I will leave them out a few more days. Hubbs-to-be picks up his tux on Tuesday! Bridesmaid and groomsmen gifts are ready to be placed in our adoring attendants hands. Baby DIVA is psyched about her first plane ride! My mom picked up her fabulous Mother of the bride dress today, and I must say she looks stunning! I LOVE it! So all in all Vegas is ready...HERE WE COME!

Now on to the hometown reception. Zoltar is excited about making an appearance for my wedding. The arcade games and photo booth are ready for delivery. The food planning and organizing is in the works. I am ready to get to boiling water and make the 2500 Jell-o shots before the reception. Cant promise I wont "test" the edible creations. The balloon release is almost complete. The tree and location have been selected for the tree planting ceremony. Favors have arrived and are ready to be put together. DJ is set. Plates, cups etc are a go. Tables and chairs and tents are a go. The alcohol and bartender are set. Honestly that being said do I really need to say more. hahah just kidding. Hometown reception is coming along very nice. As soon as we come home from Las Vegas, we will be working like mad to complete all the final details. But it should be fabulous! Even if we are hungover I mean exhausted from Las Vegas and only have 4 days to get everything together!!

I can not wait! I am so excited to be Hubbs-to-be's wifey! I am so excited to share a last name with my daughter and husband. I am terrified of busting my butt while walking down the aisle. I am afraid of getting the massive giggle attack during our vows and not being able to talk. I am terrified I am going to be "that" person on the plane who travels with a baby. I am not afraid of hitting the bottle as soon as the plane takes off, maybe a little sooner! LOL.

Wow. In 9 long days I will be a wife. I will be married. I really will be a Domesticated Pink Haired Momma with a daughter who is almost one and a fabulous husband and a fantastic life. When the heck did that happen??? And how did I get so dang lucky?

Time out for mom

Thursday has rolled its big old self around yet again. The weekend is near and Time out for mom is amongst us again! Just to refresh you, in case you have no idea what I am talking about; Every Thursday us momma's report to the blogosphere and our Theta Mom , our creator of the forbidden momma time, and shout out to the world how we selfishly took 1 whole hour during the last 7 days to ourselves. We share our enjoyment and our passions that we cram into that tiny 1 hour that enables us to keep our sanity and not lock our kids in closet while we stuff Betty Crocker cakes down our throats. Okay so maybe I still stuff cakes down my throat even with a time out, but that is beside the point. So back to the subject at hand. Theta Mom got us all involved and cracks her wooden spoon each week to invite us to share how we do in fact remember to take care of ourselves so that we can be the BESTEST momma's in the world!

And this week I report I was a huge FAILURE!!! We had a lovely family outing last weekend with Love to Shop Mom and her clan, but no alone momma time. Monday and Tuesday brought upon some fabulous tummy troubles for this mom. So I guess laying in the bathroom vomiting while daddy watched Baby DIVA could sort of be alone mommy time out time, but I promise you it is not an hour I ever want to participate in again. I am very sad that the tummy bug kept me from my usual mommy time out Nightclub cardio class. I feel the backside of me has enlarged a whole doughnut size. Or is more of a cupcake....Dangit! BIG FAILURE!!

I also snagged an at home job! GO ME!! I had a 3 hour training course this week, by myself, locked in our cold office. Does that count? NAH, I didn't think so either. Although I am thrilled to pieces to have a flexible work from home gig that lends us the ability to have some cash flow, it is still work and is NOT private momma time. FAILURE!!!

I am hoping to snag some quiet ME momma moments here in the next few days. With our Big Wedding looming and only 9 days away, I need those quiet minutes to keep this Pink Hair on my head on not yanked out by the roots and laying on the floor!!! Good luck fellow Theta Mom time outters! I am off to live vicariously through your mommy moments!!!

Award winning fool

I received a very special award from a very special lady the other day! Pixie, over at Pixie's World of Wonder , granted me the fabulous Honest Scrap award! With Pumpkin Patch wandering, Wedding planning and vomiting spilling this week, I have been behind in my blogging and the worlds worst recipient! I want to thank Pixie from the bottom of my heart for her award. It means a great deal! If you could do me a favor and run over to her blog and drop her a hello that would fabulous!! She made my day by giving me and award and now I would like to share the happiness 10 fold!!!

Thank you Pixie! You are amazing!

Wordless Wednesday

Helping Momma with Laundry...

A wedding gift arrived...

Hubbs-to-be needs a name

It has just occurred to this Pink Haired Momma, that in a mere 10 days, Hubbs-to-be will not be Hubbs-to-be anymore. Nope! That dude is locked in to this Pink Haired Momma for life or longer, BY LAW! SHHHHH Don't tell him. He make run away quivering with fright wondering what the heck has he got himself into...marrying this crazy Pink Haired Momma! Well with the commencement of our vows, I think it only necessary that my darling Hubbs-to-be get a new name in the blogosphere. What do you think?

I chatted it up with hubbs-to-be and we came up with a few names that could possibly replace the hubbs-to-be name status. Now, I am at a loss, and do not know which to chose. So I am leaving it to you, my fabulous blogosphere Friends. I would like you to chose what name you would like to see Hubbs-to-be taken on after our fabulous nuptials in 10 days!!

A little about the names:

1. Obvious

2. He is a photographer by passion

3. Personal pet name

So please my friends, have a vote and help me re-name Hubbs-to-be! I will announce the new name in my first post as a married woman, in less than 2 weeks!

A Toilet Review

I have some news to share with my readers about my toilets! In light of the last few days of me sniffing the insides of my toilet while barfing my guts up for no good reason since I didn't even lose a single pound, I made a very important discovery. This discovery comes as quite a shock to me. A year or so ago I never would have dreamed that this type of information would seem pertinent in my life. Well now that I am a domesticated Pink Haired Momma, who barfs, this is incredibly important information!!!

We use Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Gel in our bowls around the Pink Haired Momma house. Our toilets have a very clean appearance and the gel works fabulous. It is so simple to use. Even Hubbs-to-be has mastered how to put the gel in the toilet. You open the package. Put the wand on the inside of the bowl and push. It is kind of like using a wand with play dough. After you give the wand a little push, a cute little blob of blue gel sticks to the side of your toilet bowl. It hangs out there cleaning and deodorizing silently for up to an entire week while I the Pink Haired Momma do not have to be concerned with sticking my hands in the bowl and giving it a scrub scrub! I LOVE it! The scent of the gel is a tad bit strong on the "clean" end of the spectrum, however it keeps my bowls a sparkling, so I don't mind the overpowering smell too much.

Well that was before the puke fest the last few days. Sure my bowls are quite sparkly as I lean in to spill my guts, but the smell is horrendous! I don't really care to see my sparkly reflection as I heave my insides to the porcelain god, I would much rather have dingy bowls and no smell. I think half of my stomach problem was the fact that I had to catch a disgusting whiff of the sparkling clean bowls each time I heaved. Seriously, if you are in the market to be a professional puker anytime soon (ie geting your self knocked up in the near future), I highly recommend steering clear of this awesome gel. You will be nesting anyway so you wont give a crap about cleaning the bowl, but the smell will push you over the edge of barfhood!!

This review is purely of my own opinion and my own personal thoughts. I was not compensated in any way nor was I given any product to test for review.

Toilet Bowls STINK

I am dying.

2 weeks until my big day. I have hundreds of things to do. I have "I's" to dot and "t's" to cross. But what am I doing? I am sniffing the inside of m toilet bowls ever hour or so as I barf up my toes! Yep that is right. I managed to catch myself a doozie of a bug. It is nasty. It is gross. I feel awful. I hate barfing! I am being forced to lie in bed or beside my friend nasty smell toilet all day and all night. Poor Baby DIVA wants to play and I can not. I scared her so much she pooped her pants when I heaved yesterday. Possibly sympathy? Ahhhh such a good girl. Moms are not supposed to get sick. It is too hard to be a mom and be sick at the same time. Seriously diaper duty while tummy bug is in full force should be outlawed!!! Maybe I will open a new company, if i ever stop sniffing toilets, that offers SAH moms daycare of their babes while they are sick!!

I am such a super mom! At least when I was pregnant there was a "prize" at the end of the game. Not with this toilet sniffing session. Nope! No prize. Not even a few pounds lost, cause yes I am checking!! I mean if you are are gonna get the barfs right before our wedding at least drop some pounds. Nope!

So I now leave you so that I can go drop my Pink Haired head back in the toilet for some nasty barf sniffs!

Toodles.

Time out for mom Thursday

It is Thursday again! Confession time! Yep that is right! Time for us momma's to spill our guts about how we so selfishly took 1 whole hour during the last week all for ourselves! I know! I know! 1 whole hour is really pushing it in a 168 hour week; but you know how it is as a mom. You can not even get alone time on the toilet! The babes are invading private poo space all the time! I guess that is only fair they see you take a poo since you clean theirs, Right?

In case you are new to my blog, here is what is going on. The awesome and fabulous, Heather, over at Theta Mom got this fabulous idea rockin and a rollin. She challenged us moms to commit to and take 1 hour during the week that is just for us. No kids. No hubbs-to-be. No mommy business. No toilet cleaning or poop wiping allowed. Just 1 hour of alone Woman time. Then on Thursday we link up with Theta Mom and share our fabulous 1 hour of leisure with each other and the world. It is so amazing to hear the stories from other moms and what they chose to do with their 1 hour of time. It is such a wonderful concept and I am very grateful to Theta Mom for getting this started! As I have stated before, to be the best mom we can be we must remember to keep ourselves sane. This 1 hour is the key to not pooping on our kids each week!

I actually was granted 2 momma hours!! AHHHHHHH! Can you believe it? Hubbs to be and Baby DIVA spent some daddy daughter time together on Saturday morning while this Pink Haired Momma headed out to spend some moola. I went to my favorite thrift store and found some awesome deals for Baby DIVA. Click HERE to read about my fabulous finds.

Then On Tuesday Night, Hubbs-to-be and Baby DIVA enjoyed an evening alone as I headed out to my Nightclub Cardio class. I love this class. The instructors are awesome. The lights are turned off so no one can see my tired old flabby momma body fat flapping like mad as I shake my bootie all over the dance floor. Seriously this has got to be my most favorite dance/exercise class ever. The incorporation of the "fun" attitude you have at a club scene (well you know back when we did the club scene like 12 years ago) and the aerobics, dance moves, stretches and strength training is just fabulous. I could not ask for a better Free mommy hour!! I feel fabulous after this workout. Beat up and abused just like every other day in the life of a mom! The only difference is I am doing it without Baby DIVA on my hip and screaming in my ear!

I had so many people comment and email me expressing a ton of interest in this class after my post last week. I was shocked at the response. So I went and talked with the instructors and I found out they have a short video of the class that I can share with you today! I also found out we can host a "momma night" of Nightclub Cardio. So if you are reading this blog and you are in the Houston, Texas area and you might be interested in participating in the "momma night" of Nightclub cardio, email me or leave me a comment with your contact info ie. you email. I will see how many people we have interested and get us signed up for a "momma night". Now sit back and Enjoy this video! It runs through about 5-6 minutes of what goes on in the class. I am telling you, it is tons of fun! Fabulous!

Baby DIVA preparing for a bike ride with Daddy!
Not too impressed!

And YES my boobs are still huge! Imagine thosee flopping about during nighclub Cardio! hahahaha!

Tuesday Tidbit

If you don't already frequent thrift stores to purchase baby clothes and baby toys, you should start, IMMEDIATELY!!! Our kiddos grow way to fast to be dropping $100 on a t-shirt. It is simply ridiculous.

I have a fabulous thrift store that I swing by at least once a week. Baby DIVA has received some fabulous items from this favorite shopping hole of mine. For instance I got her a Playskool Step Start Walk n' Ride, that is used but you can hardly tell. It just has some scuffs on the wheels. I got it for $3 at my thrifty store whilst it goes for $24 at the store! Wooohooo!

And that is not all. Baby DIVA has all kinds of Pink Haired Momma finds to play with and wear. This last weekend I went to my thrift store, on a Saturday which is unusual. I came home wit ha fabulous goodie bag for my Baby DIVA. Inside this goodie bag I had the greatest find EVER!!

A fabulous leopard print fur coat with Pink Satin lining for Baby DIVA. Sure it is a tad big, but don't all coats need to be big? So It still had the tags on and is soooooo cute AND it was only $4!!!

Pink Haired Momma's Fabulous $4 find

Baby DIVA not so impressed

My Tuesday Tidbit is don't worry about buying secondhand items. I was so worried about it while I was pregnant. I wanted MY baby to have all new items. Well then I was slapped into reality with the birth of my Baby DIVA. To keep her in the style she need to kept in order to keep her Diva status, this momma has found thrifts stores fabulous! Find one near you soon, if you have not already!

Happy Tuesday!

Pink Hair Makes you LUCKY!!!!!

Well we are 19 days away from my BIG DAY! My house is a wreck! There is a giant pile of "Wedding" over there behind my couch, just waiting for 19 more days so it can be put to good use. Oh my goodness that is so scary and exciting all at the same time. Lucky for me we are getting married in Las Vegas, and if my luck continues the way it has recently in the blogsphere (and by having the BEST Hubbs-to-be), then I am not only gonna come home hitched, I am gonna come home rich!!

Check it out! Pink Haired momma has been winning prizes and awards like mad. Roulette table here I come!

First I won a fabulous giveaway over at Love To Shop Mom . Love To Shop Mom has a fabulous blog with tons of information about blogging, products and fun loving stories about her little Diva! I received my prize courtesy of My Pair Tree , and immediately put it to work. It is really awesome. I am a flip flop wearing fool and this awesome helper now lives by my front door and my shoes have a home, which Hubbs-to-be is very excited about. This is also fabulous because Baby DIVA had recently started to enjoy Flip flop hunting. And chewing on the flops once she "catches" them. Not so cool!! So my prize arrived via fed ex. When I opened up the package, I discovered a fabulously wrapped up Pair Tree. It was so cute that I tore right into it. Then on the back of the packaging I found the most awesome gift. A handwritten note from the president of My Pair Tree congratulating me on my win. I am a customer for life with this company. I think that is amazing customer service and I am incredibly happy!! Thank you so much Love To Shop Mom and My Pair Tree !!

Then I was blog stalking one night and happened upon this fabulous blog The Penny Pinchin Mama . Oh my goodness her blog is just so awesome. And she had this super cool giveaway running for a $25 gift certificate to a super fun store called Bare Bellies. I played around on Bare Bellies for a while and really liked their stuff, so I entered Penny Pinching momma's giveaway. Well what do you know Pink Haired Momma popped up the winner. Again I am totally tickled and excited that I won a $25 gift certificate to Bare Bellies. Baby DIVA is getting some new clothes from Bare Bellies!! Thank you so much The Penny Pinchin Mama and Bare Bellies.

Now do not laugh at my Half certificate! I did it on purpose so no one could see my "Code"! LOL

And that is not all!

I was minding my own business, blog stalking, tweetin, and generally being a silly Pink Haired Momma when all of a sudden Lynn over at Midday Escapes awarded me with the Kreativ Blogger award! How awesome is that. I am so touched! Thank you so much Lynn! I am humbled that she awarded me with Kreativ Blogger, because if you scoot over to Midday Escapes right now you will find and a very cool, very Fabulous, Kreativ blog by Lynn!

Time out for mom Theta Mom Thursday

Last week I accepted the challenge set forth by Theta Mom and decided every week from here on out I would steal 1 hour of time that is devoted to just ME!! And I kept my word.

This week Hubbs-to-be watched Baby DIVA while one of my dearest friends and myself took an exercise class. Now you might be thinking WTF? Why are you working out on your one hour of freedom?!? Well this is not your ordinary exercise class. Nope! It is Night Club Cardio . That is right. My friend and I got our rolls a flapping out on the dance floor and sweated it up!

It was so much fun! I haven't had fun exercising like that since I was a size 5 and living it up in the college life style! All the other participants were about our age (early 30's) and this made the whole event quite inviting. The facility is an actual club, during non "club" hours. The lights are turned off. The DJ starts a spinning. The disco ball is a twirling and all us ladies and gents are lead through a 60 minute shake down of our flubber! Seriously, it was so much fun and such a super workout. I am incredibly excited about it. I worked out. Got some good exercise. Fabulous conversation with my friend. And a whole hour devoted to just me!

And guess what?
I am going back next week!! Alone! Hubbs-to-be and Baby DIVA have their special time while I flab shake!!

Thank you Theta Mom for starting the Time out Thursdays for us moms. Sometimes we just need someone to remind us that to be a good mother to our children we also have to take care of ourselves, and that includes our sanity!!!


Before I take off, I just want to remind you that I have my fabulous My Little Pony Giveaway going on right now. It ends next Wednesday. So click HERE and get registered today to win this fabulous giveaway!

***GIVEAWAY***My Little Pony Twinkle Wish

Baby DIVA and I had the honor of receiving the new My little Pony DVD Twinkle Wish Adventure this week to watch and review. We snuggled down on the couch together for some Pink Haired Momma and Baby DIVA time and engaged our minds in the My little Pony movie. It was so awesome. I was shocked at how well this movie captured Baby DIVA's attention. Twinkle Wish is 81 minutes long, and held my little Baby DIVA captivated for almost all of it. I am totally impressed. The animation is great. The vivid colors are mesmerizing and The songs are wonderful and the story is super cute. It was a bit nostalgic for me to see those My Little Pony characters up on the screen. I loved My Little Pony as a child. And now Twinkle Wish has captured Baby DIVA! This is really great video to share with your kiddos! A BIG Thank you to Shout! Factory & Hasbro for sending me a copy to review and a copy to giveaway. And as a reminder, this post as well as all my posts are of my opinion only and do not reflect anyone else. All comments, discussions and views are of my own opinions and thoughts.

Twinkle Wish is scheduled to be released on October 13, 2009. There are several really cool extra features included on this DVD on top of the fabulously entertaining 81 minutes feature film.

1. Six Sing a longs

2. A Waiting for the winter Wishes Festival: A Prequel

3. Elfun and Friends animated downloadable pony activities!

The official description from the Twinkle wish DVD is as follows:

All the Ponies can't wait for the winter Wishes Festival where the Wishing Star grants each Pony one special wish. But when the Wishing Star disappears, they go on a journey to find it. But will they make it back in time for the festival? Join Pinkie Pie and all her pony friends on their journey as they discover that friendship can make wishes come true.

We have been given the opportunity to share this fabulous treat with you! That's right! Pink Haired Momma is hosting a GIVEAWAY!!! One lucky reader will receive a brand new copy of My Little Pony Twinkle Wish!

Joys of Pink Haired Mommahood

Last Thursday, baby DIVA and I had to make a walmart run. Well while strolling through the garden center, I discovered that these great outdoor chairs in black were marked down to a fabulous price. A price so fabulous that it was way cheaper for me to purchase these chairs out right for my Hometown reception, as opposed to renting chairs for the event. So I gave my mom a call and she zoomed on over to walmart to join me in my find. And to aid me in purchasing and getting the chairs home to my garage.

About that time Baby DIVA exploded! And I mean exploded. Poop was all the way up in the inside of her super cute pink skeleton onesie. YUCK! I dug in the diaper bag only to discover no wipes. NICE! So I bid my mom farewell for a moment and headed off to the baby section to buy a little thing of wipes. Then Baby DIVA and myself headed off to the bathroom for some butt scrubbing. Well this is just a disaster in the making if you can not already tell. I plop Baby DIVA up on her pink mat on the diaper changing station and begin to reveal the horrible sludge in her pants. It literally was everywhere inside of her onesie, so it then got everywhere over her body! LOVELY! So I kept my cool and we started to have a naked wipey bath right there in the walmart bathroom.

And then it happened...

For the first time EVER, in her whole life, all 10 months, Baby DIVA peed all over me! My entire shirt was covered in baby piss. I mean it wasn't enough for her I guess, that I already had baby poop all over me, in the walmart bathroom. Nope! she had to go and piss down the front of me. And then chuckled about it. Whatever!! So I got Baby DIVA all cleaned up and dressed in clean clothes. I cleaned up our pink mat and diaper changing area. All one handed I might add! Then we headed out the bathroom.

And then it happenend...

As we walked out of the bathroom, Baby DIVA barfed down the front of my shirt. and then laughed!

DONE!!

Poop, Pee, and Barf! In less than 15 minutes all over me, in the walmart bathroom. If only i could have gotten a video of picture of this event!

Oh how I love my life as a Pink Haired Momma!! (Covered in poo)

Broken Fridge

Yep you heard me right. I broke my dang fridge. For some reason it squirts water out the back and the door doesn't seem to seal as good as it used to. Crapola!!! What to do?? Register for one for my wedding? Hmmmmmm...

Well it just so happens that A Hippy mom posted on her blog about this fabulous thing Samsung and Twitttermoms have teamed up and are offering! They are offering a fabulous giveaway to one lucky blogger of, check it, a FRIDGE!!! HELLOOOO! I so need to win this bad boy. This is not just your simple fridge either. This is a super cool Samsung French Door Refrigerator (RFG297AARS)!! Click HERE to view this Fridge's stats!

So I am joining the crowd and hoping to win this new fridge so that I can pick the towels up off the floor that now live in front of my fridge. How? By following the contest rules of course! If you are interested in learning these rules, or perhaps learning the rules so you too can enter this giveaway and go up against me in the battle for the awesome Samsung fridge, go ahead and click HERE.

Most of you, My fabulous readers, know that I have the best Baby DIVA ever. Baby DIVA however, lives up to her name and requires constant attention and her Diva needs are constantly requiring my watch. This does not leave much time for me to prepare meals. I know! I know! I am always raving about what this Pink Haired Momma is up to in the kitchen over there on facebook. But in order for me to produce those fabulous meals I have a few simple prep steps that I must do each week. I am now going to share these little tidbits with you!

1. Grocery Game: That is right! I am an avid Grocery game player. I clip coupons from the Sunday paper, from every magazine I come into contact with, I swipe coupons at the store, I register on my favorite brand websites and receive coupons in the mail, you name it and I coupon it. If there is a coupon within a few mile radius I am on it! I then take the advice of the grocery game and utilize these coupons when items go on sale. I buy in bulk and stock up at rock bottom prices. This in turn leaves me always having exactly what I need in my kitchen, as well as all the other areas of my home. So any ingredient a recipe calls for, I am most likely to have hanging out in the pantry, fridge or freezer!! Fabulous!
2. Sunday Food Prep: So after I grocery game the stores each week, I then sit down and plan out 3-4 meals for the week. I then spend Sunday afternoon prepping these meals. By Sunday prep I mean I either go ahead and bake the items or I just cut and put all ingredients together in bags or containers so that the day I want to cook it it is ready to rock and roll. By preparing 3-4 possible dinners on Sunday we as a family have a whole weeks worth of meals, both hubbs-to-be lunches and our dinners. Works out fabulous for us. (oh and I am a bit of a freak and can taste plastic in leftovers that are stored in plastic containers, so I have to store everything in glass containers).
3. Fabulous Hubbs-to-be: This is the most important step in my weekly food prep. Hubbs-to-be never gets mad if I am too tired to cook. And by preparing earlier in the week, this enables Hubbs-to-be to come home from work and get himself dinner or easily pick up where I left off and cook up dinner for the family. It works wonderful for us!

Laughing at Life

I have a secret talent. a talent like no other. This little talent reared itself in the early college days of tequila shots and Vodka IV's. Last week at my bridal shower, my dear friends gave me a beautiful toast about our friendship and our history together. It was wonderful. And it was followed by a request that I perform the talent that has graced many a parties, many a stories, many a laughs over the last 16 years. Today I am lucky enough to share this moment with you, as my soon to be sister in law caught this wondrous moment on tape! ENJOY! and yes I did win an award in college for this talent!!!

I now present you with the...
CHICKEN

And if you take notice, you will see I did in fact take tequila shots before this talent took place, for old time sake!!

Countdown Begins

October is finally here! We only have 30 more days until the big I DO!!!! To celebrate I went out and purchased this super cool Halloween countdown calendar thingy from Target. I have placed a little lovenote in each of the little boxes that shares with Hubbs-to-be just one of the many reasons I am so excited to marry him! Every night from tonight until the big day Hubbs-to-be can open the little door on the box and pull out my sweet sentiments! AWWWWWWWWW I am such a great wifey-to-be!!!!

Baby DIVA took some snapshots this morning in one of her zillion Halloween outfits of the Halloween/Wedding countdown thingy and her cutesy self for her daddy! Just wanted to share!

My disease...GONE???

I have the most amazing news ever!!!

I recently went for a checkup with my CIDP doctor. I went through the usual exam with him and then I brought up the possibility of future children. I thought this would embark a on conversation that would lead to high risk pregnancy talk, yet again. Well to my shock and amazement the conversation took a turn I never in a million years would expect.

Dr. sat me down and said in looking at all my recent test results, he believes my disease has dissipated. As in hit the road running from my body! My test results looked to him as normal as any other healthy individual, certainly not a CIDP victim! I just about passed out! Seriously! After almost 10 years of treatment, 2 of those spent hanging out paralyzed from the neck down and hospital bound, I am about to make a radical change and come off ALL the medicine that I have always thought would be in my life for ever. This is one relationship I am so ready to sever as quickly as possible! So Dr. says he would like to wean me off my IGG infusions first. The next one is due around Thanksgiving. We are just going to not do it and see what happens, and yes I will be seen by my dr and monitored closely. If all goes well without the IGG infusion we are going to move on to my oral meds of Imuran and see if I can come off of it completely as well. HOLY CRAP!!! Totally medicine free!! I am still in such shock!


So if this exciting adventure pans out to be my new way of life, then many new doors are going to open for me. I will not be a "sick" person anymore. A title I am more than happen to vanquish from my life as well as alert my health insurance company to. I will once again after 10 years be able to sink my teeth into BEEF!! OH!! How I long for a big old beef patty burger! YUMMY!! 10 years with no beef is a killer. Being pregnant with no beef is a killer. I literally drank bottle after bottle of A-1 sauce trying to compensate for my lack of beef while pregnant with Baby DIVA. ( oh if you are wondering there is a slight chance eating beef could stimulate the autoimmune response of my disease. And I am sorry I don't like being paralyzed from the neck down so I just didn't want to take a chance!!) Pregnancy will be an ease. No high risk precautions needed! And a really big option that will now be available for me to think about...if I have another child and I am not on medicine, Breastfeeding my child will be possible! Wooohooo!!! So awesome!! I will be NORMAL!!!!!! The fears of Hubbs-to-be getting laid off and us losing health insurance will no longer plaque me, and I must tell you this is a terrible fear for us! No health insurance for a sicky person basically is a death sentence!!! No more treatments or rather days stuck inside with an IV attached to my arm and Baby DIVA wishing momma could hold her!


The list can go on and on. most of all I am just thrilled we are going to try and pull me off the meds. If all goes well this time next year CIDP will be part of my history rather than part of who I am!! Keep your fingers crossed for me PLEASE!!!!!

Wordless Wednesday

I had just finished telling Love to Shop Mom how much Baby DIVA hates cheese during our Thursday playdate when the following occurred. Here is our wordless Wednesday, the video version!!

Baby DIVA meets the Grilled Cheese

Freshdeals Rock

I love shopping. But I do not love over spending. I enjoy treating my regular shopping trips like a game. The game being one in which I find the item I am on the hunt for at the best possible price. Therefore I get exactly what I want for rock bottom prices. I scour the Internet (most of my shopping is in fact done online) for the best deals and steals.

Recently, I was introduced to a fabulous website called Freshdeals. I took a little time to play around on Freshdeals and in no time I was hooked. This fabulous website offers not only an advanced search over a multitude of stores when I am searching a specific item; it also lists each item at each store out for me and displays the price in an easy to view manner. Therefore I am able to get a snapshot view of the item I want to purchase and at a quick glance can see which store has it listed at the absolute best price. I am so thrilled to pieces with this feature. I did a search for "cake cutter" and Freshdeals gave me 7 pages of results to look through. 7 whole pages of stores that were offering cake cutters! It was fabulous. I was able to glance at the price and a picture of the item before even having to traipse through each individual store that offered a cake cutter. Quickly I went from having tons of choices, to one choice then click and Voila!!!! I ordered my cake cutter. How awesome is that!

And that is not all this wonderful site has to offer. Oh No! It gets even better! I have been doing a ton of shopping lately in regards to wedding items and all that surrounds such a glorious event. Being a first time bride, sometimes I feel a bit overwhelmed and have no idea how to even go about choosing a cake cutter or toasting flute, let alone a garter or grooms gift. Luckily for me, Freshdeals offers a wonderful question and answer forum. I am able to ask a question about any product and get real time answers from merchants as well as other individuals with first hand knowledge. This feature is a godsend for a Bride to be who is planning her wedding. And it doesn't just stop with weddings. I was able to use this site also to help me pick out and purchase some items for Baby DIVA's upcoming first birthday party!! Freshdeals has an incredible amount to offer and has really helped me get products and items I am in need of for the price I want to pay!

I have added Freshdeals to my repertoire of favorite places and fully intend on using it for all my future shopping needs. Check it out and see how it can work magic for you too!!
