Oh well.

I was told recently that I say "Oh well.." a lot. In a bad way. Like maybe it was annoying. Well person who told me that- Thank you for the blog post inspiration!

It's Friday evening and I'm writing a blog post. If this is a blog don't, I don't want to be right. Oh well!

Noah breaks the cheap baby gate I have setup to block the kitchen daily, I should probably replace it. Oh well!

I cannot figure out how to get my chalkboard clean after writing on it. Thus it looks like poo when I take a picture. Oh well.

There is laundry that needs to be hung up on my bedroom chair. I did laundry last Monday. Oh well.

I decided to start working out this week. I went on a 20 minute walk yesterday. Weeks over. Oh well.

Lucas totally yells at me all the time. For food, toys, attention. In private and in public. I usually give him whatever he wants. Oh well.

Sometimes I stay up way too late just because it's the only time of the day where nobody is talking to me. I regret it the minute I wake up in the morning. Oh well.

There are weeks that are full of "Oh well"s. This was one of those weeks and I choose to let it all just roll off my back and keep on moving on. I Choose Happy because if you don't you can get sucked in to the opposite of oh well... It's ugly there, don't go there.

What did you say Oh Well to this week?

this moment.

{this moment} - A weekly ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

Once upon a time there was a fair maiden. She wasn't the fairest in the land but her husband thought she was pretty awesome.
 Okay.... I have no idea what I'm talking about, it sounded good though. Anyway, Hi guys!! I'm Amber and I blog over at My Three Bittles and I'm here today because I need some help.

Mother's day is over.
The day after mother's day has past.
Today is Tuesday and reality has set in.
As I stare at the pile of laundry that has yet to be folded because I decided I didn't want to do it this past weekend I have to wonder- why do we only celebrate our mothers on a specific day? Why should Mother's Day be a big deal, why not everyday?

My super cute Mother's Day gift.. A Lisa Leonard necklace

Decals made by me to keep my boys always on my mind. 

I'm lucky enough to have an amazing husband who works super hard for us, but this also means that I work some serious mommy hours. There are times when I don't feel appreciated or have the mommy guilt moments because I'm so stressed and tired.
But there are other times when N walks up to me and gives me a hug for no reason.
Or L looks at me and breaks out into a huge smile.
We are moms. We know a love that has no boundaries and although some days it feels like there's no end in sight we remember to keep our chins up and grab our favorite bottle of momwine- which in my case is actually a bottle of champagne-to celebrate ignoring the laundry for a full 4 (ok maybe 5) days!

Let everyday be Mother's Day ladies!

Some Thoughts From A Busy Weekend

This weekend was crazy busy but in a good way.. Full of love and laughing and lots of thoughts:
Mother's Day is a day for us to celebrate our moms, and as moms it's hard to remember that we should be celebrated as well.
Laundry is evil. The 4 clean loads that have been sitting in my living room has been mocking me all weekend. But I can't find the time to fold, or I just choose not to
Thursday was National Mom's Night Out. That's right, we get a national night to go out and celebrate. Just one night though, don't need to get all crazy. Also- Mom's night outs are amazing.

I have been sucked in to watching One Tree Hill on Netflix. I feel like I'm 17 again.
I'm grateful that I'm not 17 because I am enjoying a ice cold apple cider.
I had some serious jealousy issues this Saturday seeing all the Elevate Conference photos, super bummed I didn't buy a ticket when I had the chance!
Watching my little boy play baseball makes me feel like a proud mommy some moments and a stressed one in others. Why is it so hard to just let them be little sometimes?

Instagram is definitely my favorite social network. follow here krystaladele some photos from this weekend:
