Happy Mother's Day!!!!!!  This year was my second Mother's Day and I did absolutely nothing lol. *Kanye shrug* Oh well. I enjoyed being lazy today.  My gift from my mommy and Gabby was a bad ass pair of wedges!  Now the gift I got my mommy was pretty bad ass too. I got her the necessary basics of course; the cards from myself and her granddaughter. I let Gabby scribble on her card so it could be like her signature. But the main present was from Victoria's Secret. I got her a matching bra and panty set from the Body by Victoria collection and as an added bonus at check out, I got a free angel necklace for spending over $75. Woohoo! She of course loved all her gifts.  Well thats it. Lol I seriously did nothing today. Haha. But I enjoyed it.  Happy Mother's Day!  ~Kortney

Of course, getting her off the passie is way harder than I thought. Shes definitely    not using it as much anymore. But she sometimes cannot sleep without it. Oh well. Its just gonna have to be like that until shes 18 months old. So one more month!  But as far as her sleep schedule goes, its now on "Toddler Time". Her new bedtime is 8pm/8:30pm.  Our routine is simple of course and similar to her baby sleep schedule.  First I give her a bath. I like to keep bath time short and sweet. Dump all the toys in the tub, add bubbles then add Gabby. I immediately wash her, then wash her hair if needed, and then shes out. Shes still too young in my opinion for actual bath toys. After her bath, we go to the room to dry off, lotion up then put her pj's on. All while we do that, the lights are off and I only have the lamp and night light on so she knows its time to quiet down. Now after the last step, either one or two things happen depending on her energy.  1. I let he...

Last year was my first Mother's Day and I think that it was just all so new to me, that I kinda didn't know what to do. Sit back and wait for the gifts or still give to other mommies...well of course due to my loving personality i'm definitely giving back because last year just didn't feel right to me. All I want this year is a nice dinner. :)  But for my own mommy, I want to give her something useful and heartfelt. For something heartfelt, of course a card with a handwritten message in it will do for that. Something useful....hmmmm. Lol.  Claude's mom, Mrs. Karen, had a birthday yesterday and I wanted to kind of give her the same thing. Something I know shes going to use. So I got her a sleep shirt from Victoria's Secret. :) Since I worked there, I know that they have everything there and its all good quality.  But, I don't want to give my mom pj's. Shes like me...we don't wear any. Lol ;) ;P  So I'm debating whether or not to give her a nice br...

Okay so this past Easter I had a wake up call. I told myself that this year I'm going full force to pursuing my dreams. Well....If you wanna make God laugh, tell him your plans.  He definitely woke me up and opened my eyes to some things. But the two things he definitely made clear to me were, 1. Seek Him first before you do ANYTHING. Because without God, it will fail. And 2. What he says goes. Do what he says or else. Haha. I don't mean to scare you guys or anything but its the truth. So after a week of thinking and praying and asking him to show me what it is He wants me to do, I've had a change in plans... (Ugh i'd never thought i'd say this, but) I'm going back to school. I'm going for secondary education to become a high school history teacher.  Why high school? I get along with teenagers. (I might do Jr High but more then likely I'm gonna do High School) Why history? I love it and I know alot about it. (I'm not good at math so....yea) Why teach...

To pacify means to soothe.  Pacifier means the soother.  Ever since 1900, pacifers, binkies, soothies, and or passies, have kept babies and toddlers calm and gave parents a little sanity when it comes to cries and temper tantrums.  But of course, everything good usually comes with bad. Passies can create crooked teeth and more dental problems and most of all, they are addicting. Especially if you we're like me and decided to breastfeed your baby. So pretty much its like a baby cigarette.  Gabby had a 15 month dental checkup a couple weeks ago and we discovered that she had an underbite. Her dentist of course said that if its not better by the time shes 2 years old, then there will need to be some adjusting. Damn you passie! So me and Claude decided we should go ahead and start weening her off the pacifier.  We knew that this process was gonna be hard so we thought about it and gave everything a reasonable time limit and reasonable rule. Our rules until shes abou...

So if you haven't known already, I of course graduated in November from beauty school as an Esthetician or informerly a skin care specialist. I took my written exam but I have yet to take my practical exam which gives me my actual license. (Don't worry. I do plan on taking care of that very soon.)  Since then, I have gotten a job working at Victoria's Secret. Ive been there for 4 months now and I can say the only reason I like working there is because its one of my favorite stores and the benefits are great.  The pay was okay but since I still want more things, I got a second job... I am a waitress at Ojos Locos Sports Bar and Cantina!  Ojos Locos is the "Mexican Hooters". Its a breastaurant. Ive always wanted to work somewhere where I can be sexy and be myself. Ive been here for a month now and I can definitely say I love it here and i'll be staying for as long as I can. Every day is so much fun, and the tips are out of this world. I can now afford more thing...

All I wanted was some damn flowers. Lol. Obviously I didnt get them this year. Oh well I got lots of chocolate and candy to make up for it. Gabriella got pajamas. For some reason, I'm obsessed with pj's for her. I went into JCP and saw the entire pajama section and had to control myself lol.  Its been so long since i've been on an actual date. :( I havent been loved properly haha. Next year for V-Day its gonna be better though. I just didnt want much this year. I wanted to chill out and get a nap since I have 2 jobs now. ;) New post about that coming soon.  Happy Valentine's Day Lovlies!  Remember that this day is about showing love to everyone and not just for couples. Be nice and show everyone love always.
