time to play catch up.

It's been such a busy week for me, I feel like I haven't had time for my personal things. This weekend is going to be my catch up time.


Catching up on blogging.
Catching up on my emails.
Catching up on my TV shows.
Maybe catching up on some sleep.
And most importantly, catching up on some quality time with my family.


Sometimes I wish life wasn't so busy so I could make more time for these things. But hey, what can you do. That's life, right?

Here are the winners from my sneakpeeq giveaway!!

$25 gift card winners: Victoria Christine Rubio & Lizzy Allen

$10 gift card winner: Manny Chez

I have two more articles up on Parent Society. Click here to check them out and feel free to let me know your thoughts. I would love to hear them!

Now excuse me while I go use up all my crayons...

keep calm and write a blog

One of my dreams when I was younger was to become a writer. I used to enter Poetry and writing contests. I even wrote a few stories in the 6th grade and some of the best ones were made into a little book and were kept in our school library. In high school, my good friend and I both joined the newspaper staff on our quest to become Journalists. Somewhere along the way, my writing slowly disappeared from my life and I didn't have the same passion for it. For the past few years, I've wanted to start a blog...just as a fun thing and to also get back into writing. 

My blog was started in May of last year and I quickly grew a great love for it. It's a fun outlet for me and I really don't know what I'd do if I didn't have it. Maybe I'd go crazy with all my thoughts, who knows. When I started it, I didn't realize the opportunities I could get from it...


Just last month, I was approached to become a regular blogger for ParentSociety.com. I was beyond ecstatic and couldn't believe this opportunity was being given to me. Along with a few other things, this was one of the best ways to end my year...and a great start to a new one!


Check out my first post and feel free to leave a comment!


Also, I will be hosting my very first giveaway on Friday {another thing to be excited about} so don't forget to come back for that! Thank you to all my followers and readers for visiting my blog. I truly feel so blessed to have all of you!

my first giveaway win

I am an avid reader and member of Lauren Conrad's blog. Last week, she had a giveaway for a lovely little bow necklace from Dogeared. I love bows on just about anything fashionable so I decided to enter the giveaway. Mind you, I don't ever enter these things because I always have a thought in the back of my mind that I could never win. But hey, why not give it a try! So I entered and guess what...I was one of the 25 winners! I was so excited to see my name and to actually have won something. It really made my day. I can't wait to get it!
