<br />
The Secret Sitter.<br />
<br />
Brian and I love to still have our time. But it's not so easy when you have 2 working parents who feel like they are missing so much. We hate leaving Harper to go on a date, but when we are out, it's mostly entertaining her so that she will be good and last through a dinner.<br />
<br />
So when my sister introduced me to the idea of the Secret Sitter I was in awe!!!!<br />
<br />
Two things the Secret Sitter does:<br />
1. Your child won't freak b/c she's being put to bed by a babysitter<br />
2. You get your date night without losing quality family time<br />
<br />
<br />
Harper goes to bed around 8:00...we have a sitter come over around 8:30... and Voila! Date Night without the little lady ever knowing!<br />
<br />
You might be asking if paying $20 is worth a date night at 8:30? Well, to us it IS! 2 hours (+/-) of quality talking time as a couple? Yes, so very worth it. I don't know about you, but an atmosphere outside the home lends itself to such better conversations for us! And...getting to get dressed up never hurts, either!<br />
<br />
If you use it, I'd love to see your #secretsitter photos on IG! I'll start tagging mine, too! :)Blissfully Burtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13818800760234483210noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127620045808542321.post-46813257061153451192013-07-01T16:13:00.001-04:002013-07-01T16:13:28.435-04:00Loving Toddlerhood.I feel like over the past few months, I've really come into my own. Much more than I had first thought in the months that followed Harper's birth. <br />
<br />
<br />
I've realized with Harper at this stage...I just wasn't a good "baby Mommy". Sounds so bad, right? I don't know if it was the colic, the pain I felt after giving birth, etc., but now looking back, I just feel like I am a better 'bigger kid' Mom. Does that make sense?<br />
<br />
Staying home with Harper this summer has been an absolute joy. Last summer was as well... And don't get me wrong, I do still love teaching, but it's like I have a little buddy around this year. One who can talk pretty darn well for 21 months, a little independent lady, and one that still loves to "hold you" (hold her). <br />
<br />
In the start of summer, after I'd had a few days off, my Mom said, "See, staying at home isn't all that easy...I bet you never get a break." And while I have to agree with this a little, right now, I think it's about a ton easier than working a full time job and being a Mommy. With my job, I NEVER got a break. It was a rarity when I had an actual planning where I got to sit at my desk and 'rest' for a minute. Especially when it was down in the nitty-gritty of May. Now, Harper and I have a pretty good routine going, and she naps for 2 hours straight. I'm sure if you've followed me for a while, you remember Harper was never a good napper on her own...so 2 free hours a day? WOWZA! :) :) :) It's just a nice time being home with her. Of course we have the daily melts or tantrums, but I've learned to deal with them promptly and effectively for now, so they really don't take much thought. Of course we aren't yet 2, but from what we've seen, I'd say we are seeing some of the 'terrible twos' already. That's the funny thing about this age, they go totally CRA CRA for a minute, and the next minute they are giving you a big 'ol neck-hug and telling you 'sowwy' and 'love you'. I mean, you just can't stay mad at that!!<br />
<br />
Another reason I feel like I've grown is with Brian. I'm not going to lie. It was hard the first couple of months. But as Harper gets older I think Brian and I feel like we learn quicker and do things a little 'better' than before. We've learned to laugh at the moments where Harper goes "out of her mind" during a tantrum instead of fretting over the obvious inevitable of having a strong-willed toddler. We've learned to take comments and suggestions with a grain of salt, and learned that nothing is better for Harper than seeing her parents hug and kiss (even though Harper very quickly says "my daddy" at the first sign of anyone getting close to him, including me! Daddy's Girl anyone?!). <br />
<br />
Anyways, I just feel like a re-newed Momma lately and it's such a great feeling. The feeling that I truly only have 1 major job going on has really helped perk me up. Of course, doesn't the sunshine perk you up all by itself?<br />
<br />
<br />
I truly don't even know what my summers used to entail before the little lady came to be...but I sure wouldn't have it any other way!<br />

<br />
:)<br />
<br />
I got overwhelmed, stressed, saddened, and just really a lack of the want.<br />
<br />
Blogging used to be great when I first began. I wrote for myself. I wrote for my family album. There weren't many blogs out.<br />
<br />
But then... I started following bloggers, and they started following me. I started getting paid for some posts, I started getting criticism for some posts.<br />
<br />
And all I really wanted to do was journal my life. My REAL life. Not a cookie cutter life. <br />
<br />
I also couldn't keep up.<br />
<br />
Do you feel like that?<br />
<br />
With Pinterest, Fakebook, and Blogging, I just couldn't keep up! I don't have time to craft! I don't have time to make gourmet meals! I don't have time to take a picture of my outfit every stinking day!! You also wouldn't want to see what I look like every day! Most days I have crazy curly hair, I'm wearing the nicest thing that was clean, but man, I am teaching WELL and I'm loving WELL. And it just seems I didn't feel I needed to blog that...<br />
<br />
So, I write all that to say.... I hope to take back blogging. I miss writing down little things I want to remember about Harper. She's such a great toddler. With MAJor ups and downs, but nonetheless, AWESOME.<br />
<br />

Do you always tell the truth about your little ones? <br />
<br />
Does facebook or other blogs make you sometimes feel like your child must be the only one in the world who isn't perfect? It sure does me! I also feel a lot of times that when I talk to some Mommies they tell me how wonderful everything is, how easy it is if you have things well thought out and planned, and how children are so easy...<br />
<br />
UMM, can I please live at your house and be your child?!?!? Yea, my kid was pretty easy during months 3-11...now let's get to toddlerhood!<br />
<br />
Well, friends, Harper has come into the *possibly* full blown tantrums...and she's barely even 13 months old. Is this normal?? If it's not, will you please tell me it is?!?!? :)<br />
<br />
Tantrum 1-<br />
When Harper is out and about with me running errands or out to eat she is not one to be ignored. She enjoys full on attention and being spoken to, engaged, etc. the entire time. If not - tears come. Of course, you non-mommies may be thinking "why wouldn't you speak to your child" but let me tell you, sometimes it's hard to have a one-way convo out in public and sometimes you just want to be quiet!<br />
<br />
But, I've learned, and have schooled my Hubby on the ways that IF you'd like a successful trip in public, the KEY is to ENGAGE, ENGAGE, ENGAGE!<br />
<br />
Tantrum 2-<br />
This one comes into full effect usually when Harper is sleepy or hungry. Harper will bend down and squat (like only kids can do - you picture it?!) and begin whining/crying. Then, she will turn her head to the side, peek out of one eye to see if you are looking. If you are: she will continue and sometimes move her position to laying on her side OR lay her head right on down to the most difficult yoga pose you've ever done. If you aren't looking, she will usually get over it, come around the corner and be like nothing every happened.<br />
<br />
The KEY is to walk away and don't even let her see you watch...don't you let her peeking meet your eyes!!<br />
<br />
Tantrum 3-<br />
Similar to Tantrum 2, but this time it occurs when you've offered her a toy, a piece of food, water, etc. You know, all those horrible things parents do... ?!?! Well, our gal is pretty stuck on her independence and knowing what she wants when she wants in - read: her time. <br />
<br />
So, when this begins, the KEY is to walk away, totally ignore, and begin talking/laughing/playing with something else.<br />
<br />
****************************************************************<br />
I was totally worried and nervous about this, but after calling Harper's doc, she said that this next year will be all about seeing what manipulation she can get away with (what?!?!) and beginning to learn what she can do for herself. Am I worried? Yea, a little bit. Would I wish her personality and her possible strong-willed-ness away? No, I don't think so. Ask me again when she's a teen...or 2...but I think I'm okay with this side I'm seeing of her. <br />
<br />
I want her to be a strong girl~woman. I want her to know what she wants and doesn't want. I think those are qualities that make a strong woman and one who can take care of her own. My Mom tells me that I was the same way and that she's proud of the way I've turned out and that my personality has helped me get to where I am and what I said 'no' to in the past. I like that. <br />
<br />
****************************************************************<br />
HOWEVER, after a wonderful suggestion from my Mom...we have now gotten down to some of the terrible tantrums Harper was having...yup...her milk. We thought the transition to whole milk was fine, but it turns out, it wasn't. The poor girl is still having issues with milk so we have switched her to Organic Soymilk. It was like a different child in 2 days. Honestly. She still has maybe a few of the tantrums I mentioned above, but it is UNREAL the difference in her - all because of the milk! And really, I can tell you I haven't seen a tantrum in over a week - even a small one!<br />
<br />
****************************************************************<br />
And of course, if sweet Harper continues to come over and kiss your lips after any of these tantrums, and hug on her babies, and say thank you at the drop of a hat...I'm very okay with how my sweet baby girl is turning out to be!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
*what are you ways in dealing and eliminating tantrums or small fits?<br />

It's amazing how quickly she develops!!<br />
<br />
*New Things*<br />
<br />
~ We had to change Harper's whole milk to soy milk. This was a change I was really hoping to not make, but since the change, things have just seemed to work out better. She LOVES drinking the soy and will drink it more with meals and on her own than she was with the whole. We also think the whole was hurting her belly - causing some unwanted cries and possibly causing some tantrums... Since the milk switch we haven't had nearly the outbursts we were seeing. Not sure if this is correlated, but it sure does seem to go together.<br />
<br />
~ Harper is such a sponge these days! It's just crazy what she picks up and repeats! Some newer things are: she can tell you where her shoes are and the word, where her socks go and point, follow multi-step directions (for the most part if she's heard those words before), and where her nose is. :) she can also high five!!<br />
<br />
~When we ask Harper if she's ready for bed or a nap, she motions her head up and down and walks to the stairs. It's so crazy! She does the same thing when we say it's bathtime. *Side-note: I was not all about the CIO, but luckily we didn't have to for long, but it is SO nice to just tell her it's time for bed and put her in her crib without any fuss!! (i wrote a post about CIO somewhere!)<br />
<br />
~Harper communicates a lot with head shakes of yes or no. We are still trying *really* hard to not use the word 'no' with her unless it's something urgent. We use 'not for Harper' or 'uh-oh' - which she says over and over again when she's dropping things or falls.<br />
<br />
~Tough girl! I mean, she is totally rough when she plays. She plays hard and can fall hard, but she will randomly cry. She totally doesn't get that from me!<br />
<br />
~Loves going to the Church Nursery and loves those girls there!<br />
<br />
~She still loves to kiss all the time and has gotten in the habit of kissing the faces that pop up on my phone if I'm on speaker phone. She also SAYS 'LOVE YOU' which is just about the SWEETEST thing thus far. :)<br />
<br />
~Words that she uses in correct context:<br />
uh-oh<br />
Buh-bye (and waves)<br />
Dada<br />
Momma<br />
shoe<br />
duck<br />
love you<br />
peaches<br />
baby<br />
doggy (yes, still totally obsessed...we have no idea why or how)<br />
<br />
~Tantrums (our Doctor calls them frustration/language tantrums)<br />
I have a post on this...but...we have begun to see what people say are the normal toddler tantrums. She can get very frustrated when she wants something and cannot get us to understand what it is she wants. We are really working through these and like I said, I've got another post dedicated for this! :)<br />
<br />
~We are officially OFF the paci....but I let her have it at night, don't tell our sitter!! Our sitter actually broke her of the paci in 3 days! We did not exactly want her to do this or were ready for her to get rid of the paci, but Harper has been talking a lot more...so I guess that's good!<br />
<br />
~Eats everything in sight and a lot of it! ha!<br />
<br />
~Loves to dance and will begin dancing whenever she hears music or little tunes.<br />
<br />
~Moved up to the next carseat! She is back to liking the car now that she's not squished and she can see things!<br />
<br />
~Has a total of 6 teeth with 2 more breaking through.<br />

Except this year we actually went Trick-or-Treating. We kept seeing such a big difference in Harper from last year to this year I just had to get it documented. We didn't realize until we were looking through the pics that we were in the same spots as last year. Just so crazy how FAST time really does<i> fly</i>!<br />

I got almost each outfit in pictures! I'm really wanting to start selling Harper's clothes, but I'm worried if we have another child we may have a girl! The 2 dresses in the pics below were only worn once for Church - so like 2 hours total! Oh well, I think I'm *finally* starting to see that I don't need so many nice clothes for Harper that can be out of season so quickly! But man, it's hard for me not to buy!<br />

<i>1 - Harper had a really bad cold on her birthday (of course, right?!) so we didn't get the best smiles...<br />2 - Harper decided to be a very strong-willed little girly during her photo shoot! Although, it was pretty cold outside! But c'mon!!! </i><br />
<i>So, we got a LOT more pictures than I was anticipating!!! :)</i><br />

Part 2 - the details<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Welcome to <span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Harper's Fairy Garden Party!!!!!</span><br />
<br />
We held her party at a local park and I rented out the shelter closest to the playground. The party was so much fun and several months in the planning. I was hoping to be unique in the party theme and decor, and although I am not sure if anyone else thought so...I was quite impressed and happy with how it all turned out! This was a very DIY party and I used a lot of time this summer creating things and bought items along this past year! <br />
<br />
The absolute BEST part of the party was when Harper walked in, looked around, and said "thank you" !!!!!! Ahh! Sweetest girl! I'm sure it wasn't exactly what she was meaning, but it still MELTED my heart!!<br />
<br />
<br />
Harper's Outfit:<br />
I decided to go against the 'normal' big tutu and monogrammed shirt for the 1st birthday and go with what I love...a sweet smocked dress that I found that had fairies on it! Her birthday topper hat came from a local specialty store and I added the "Happy Birthday" felt letters to it. Her bloomers were a smocked birthday cake from Little English.<br />

The Favors:<br />
I collected several butterfly catchers and then used the theme colors of tulle to give out to the party kid guests. I loved how easily it fit the theme! I had a few babies present at the party, so they got a different gift. They received "bug cups" or personalized snack cups with Puffs filled inside (from my store - The Craft Store). I always think a favor at a party gives it a nice touch!<br />

The Activity Favor:<br />
I knew I'd have older kids at Harper's party, so I wanted to think of a fun craft that was unique to the theme. I decided on making Pixie Dust. I saved baby food jars, spray painted them white, and then added 3D butterflies and fairies on the cap and tied tulle around the middles. Then I poured Willy Wonka pixie sticks into 6 different cups (cups had the flower cupcake holders around it) and kids could create their own edible pixie dust! I think the kids had a lot of fun doing this and some adults got in on the action, too! <br />

The Special Touch:<br />
I bought The Birthday Book by Dr. Suess earlier this year. I thought it would be so cool to ask Harper's guests to write a little note to her for her birthday! Most guests wrote in the book and the little sentiments were the sweetest! 1st Birthdays are a big deal, but we invited a lot more people to this birthday than we will for future birthdays. It was so neat and it will be so neat for Harper to understand one day how many people have been praying for her this past year and loved her so much to attend the party! *We had over 70 people at the party! So blessed to have that many people be praying and loving on her!!*<br />

The Decor:<br />
I used pink butcher paper to create a middle of the food table. My awesome Dad hung a million butterflies from the ceiling of the shelter and helped with making sure that butcher paper wouldn't fall down! I used pink table cloths and green polka dot wrapping paper as the table cloths of the food table, gift table, and favor table. I used pink, green, and purple tulle every where I could! I created a tutu for around Harper's highchair. The paper flowers and butterflies were created by yours truly and took about a million hours to make! :) But oh so fun! I asked my Uncle to cut down round pieces of wood from the Farm to create a woodland feel for the cupcakes and food to set on instead of a traditional cupcake stand. I also bought several floral boxes and hot-glued moss around them to again create a garden/woodland feel. Polka Dot balloons were also hung in various places as well as the opening to the shelter with a cute large mushroom sign. Harper's 12 month photos were strung along two columns and were created on large flower looking disks that Hubby helped me make to show her growth progression. That was one of my favorite crafts I created for the party and it proudly hangs in Harper's room now!<br />

Special thanks to my friend Tiffany from Tiffany's Cakes who made all the cupcakes and cake pops and they turned out exactly as I wanted!!! Half of the cupcakes were edible purple and pink glitter icing, pink cake inside with fairies, the other half were the same but with candy butterflies on top. SOO cute and yummy! I mean, I just sent her a picture, begged, and she created!!<br />

My sister actually made Harper's Smash Cake! It was amazing!! She honestly thought of the idea herself and offered to make it! It was so sweet! She used a Tinkerbell Doll and made the cake white inside (we are trying to keep Harper away from Red Dye 40 as much as we can) with pink and purple on the outside. It was delish as well!<br />

<b><br /></b>Blissfully Burtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13818800760234483210noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127620045808542321.post-46935179031967209652012-10-17T20:06:00.002-04:002012-10-17T20:06:22.967-04:00He's MineHubby and I are such a TEAM with the parenting thing. We totally don't take on the 1950s roles, which I give major props to those of you who do, but it's not something I'd want to do. Brian and I of course have things we do better than the other, but for the most part we see Harper as OUR daughter, OUR responsibility, and OUR life. It's nice to have your other half feel that way.<br />
<br />
Before Harper, Brian was an avid golf player. Like, played every Friday night until it would snow outside with his buddies. Would spend a majority of Saturdays playing golf, and usually 1-2 nights a week go watch games with his friends. As we got married, some of that slowed down, but it wasn't until Harper came that Brian began truly putting his family time first. Now, don't get me wrong. Not everyone needs to be this way - it's whatever works for your family! But what I see in this is the joy that Brian has as a father. I know he'd rather spend his days with his sweet girl {and hopefully me too!} doing new things with her.<br />
<br />
That puts a huge smile on my face. Not ever having to 'ask' Brian to stay home or play with us. Not having to 'ask' Brian to help feed Harper or help give her a bath. Just those little things that I see as a total parenting team thing, but what some men may not want to do. Our parenting is pretty 50/50 and when one of us has had a tiring day, the other one swoops in and helps out a little more. It's so very nice. And yes, I completely realize how lucky I am! :) We may not be the richest of people nor have the best life, but I am sure thankful for every day blessings I am given.<br />

I haven't gotten any better at blogging regularly or reading other blogs like I'd promised!!<br />
<br />
I've got LOTS to write about and have been writing all kinds of things in my head all day long (do you all do that? It's methodical to me!) but I never seen to take the time to sit down, open up my computer, and type!<br />
<br />
So...Where have the Burton's been and what have they been up to?<br />
<br />
**Harper**<br />Harper turned one about 2 weeks ago. We hadn't started her on whole milk or real food until after we met with our doctor. Well...that has been a lot of fun! We go out to eat and order her food and she just loves it all! Believe me, we know how lucky we are! The transition to whole milk (you know, with her protein allergy) has actually been way better than anticipated! She didn't really seem to have a problem with the transition...but actually breaking the bottle habit is a little harder! More on that to come! I'm already much better about the dinners I cook every night making sure there is plenty of variety and healthier options! Her personality is just like the books say! She wants her independence and being such a good little walker/runner isn't helping with that! She can now get easily frustrated when she wants something but can't seem to communicate it. But, thankfully she's stayed her sweet self - kissing all the time, saying thank you to just about everything, and giving lots of hugs! <br />
<br />
**Brian**<br />Brian is one hard working Daddy! His job has gotten busier than ever and as of early Aug. he celebrated his one year anniversary with his new job and new title. It's a lot more pressure and work on him than his previous job but he is doing so well and getting so good at it! So proud of how hard he works for us! He's also been able to have a few Daddy-Daughter days which have been just so cute to watch him or hear him talk about his days. So blessed to have such a good hubby/daddy! He also took off to have a family day with Harper and me during our Fall Break. More on what we did to come!<br />
<br />
**Me**<br />Boy oh boy! This has been probably the hardest I've ever worked at school! I am not sure if it's the new standards we are teaching to, the ability levels I have in my class (ranging from well below grade level all the way to well above grade level), or my new POV I have since becoming a Mom (I'll explain in another post) but MAN, I am pooped by the end of each day!!! I still constantly struggle with being a working mom, but I've come to find out you pretty much never get over that! But I can say, when I'm at work, I enjoy what I do and try to do it the best I can. And when I get home, I find the energy to then be the best Mommy I can be for those few hours I have with my girl! I haven't really had the time to craft, decorate, or blog lately, but I'm pretty much ok with that! The most crafts I do were for Harper's birthday and then for another fun slew of baby showers that are coming up! So fun to watch my friends be Mommy's!!!<br />
<br />
**Marriage Time**<br />One main reason I haven't been blogging as much is that I want to make sure I'm giving my husband adequate time at night. Our daughter goes to bed around 7-730 and I usually go to bed around 930, so that little bit of time between making my lunch for the next day and cleaning up and getting work things ready I really need to focus on him! Marriage is a funny thing once you have a kid, don't you agree? The bond has become so much thicker but in the same right, it's much harder and in our case we have to be more intentional to work on making sure we are still putting each other first even when we are whipped by the end of the day!!<br />
<br />
**Family Time**<br />I love this time of year! And thankfully it's been wonderful weather weekend days! We've been to different orchards around here, fairs, the Zoo, and little play places. I truly appreciate my husband for loving to make family memories as much as me!!! And of course, I'm LOVING all the new cute outfits I'm able to dress Harper up in even if that meant I had to shed a few tears while I was packing up her summer clothes!!! ;)<br />
<br />
So...that's been us in a nutshell!! :) I do not promise...but I hope to get back to blogging and reading in the <i>near</i> future! :)<br />

<br />
Height: 28 3/4, 38%tile<br />
Weight: 19 lbs, 16%tile - we've got a tiny baby girl!<br />
Head: 46 cm, 76%tile<br />
<br />
Size: Baby Dry Pampers all the time - 3, clothes: 9 months, 12 months<br />
<br />
Hair/Eye Color: We officially have a blonde haired brown eyed baby girl!<br />
<br />
Bottles: 3 bottles a day of Alimentum/beginning to slowly fad 2 bottles out...{I don't want to drop the night bottle - we like cuddling her too much!} But we met with our doc. today and she has a very slow plan for us to switch to whole milk to see if Harper's sensitive belly can handle it. Our doctor was soo great about the bottle transition!!!<br />
<br />
Food: tried any people food (besides nuts and honey of course) but still prefers baby food most of the time, loves all fruit, will begin trying more now!<br />
<br />
Sleep: 7pm-6:30am Mon-Thur, 8pm-8am Fri.-Sun., two 1 1/2 hour naps on the weekends or when she's home, one 1 hour nap at the sitter's home<br />
<br />
New Things: <br />
*Directions: Harper follows several different directions and sequences of directions. "Where are your socks?" (points to socks or pulls on them - we say this a lot when we're getting dressed I guess?!), "Get your book" (currently she finds and grabs Mr. McGregor & the Flopsy Bunnies), "Kick the ball" (finds the purple football and kicks it with her left foot)<br />
*Words: When Harper receives a snack she says "dank ooo" (thank you), and she also says it all the time for whenever she hands you something or she gets something from you! She says clearly and with meaning - Mama, Dada, ball<br />
"oohs" when she's excited<br />
*Movement: runs!, walks with her arms out when someone she knows is near her, claps her hands, dances to a few specific songs, waves, doesn't care too much for the stairs or cabinets anymore<br />
*Loves:<br />
dogs<br />
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse<br />
Baby Faith DVD's in the car (giggles and oohs!)<br />
holding her water sippy - a new one without trainer handles<br />
BOOKS - she's rather be read to than play with anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
shapes and things with wheels<br />
Cinnamon Maple Sticks from Gerber<br />
holding gator or her baby when she gets tired<br />
<br />
Shots:<br />
She had 3 shots and her finger pricked. She did great and cried for about a minute! Thanks Daddy for coming today!<br />
<br />
Can't believe it! After <a href="http://theburtonsspot.blogspot.com/search/label/our%20baby">weekly pregnancy</a> updates and then <a href="http://theburtonsspot.blogspot.com/search/label/monthly%20updates">Monthly Updates</a> of Harper; she is really 1 year old!<br />
<br />
Doctor was very impressed and said she thinks we have a strong girl on our hands! She said her personality and demeanor looked great Harper is so laid back but also in to everything! She's pretty happy all the time! Her bestie is still 'Raffi! She loves him!<br />
<br />
**Birthday Party Post coming soon!!! It was this past weekend!!!**<br />

<br />
I have a fabulous husband, who happens to be a fantastic father to our most amazing little baby.<br />
<br />
She is precious and perfect in every way.<br />
<br />
Our conversations revolve around how much MORE we love her every day. How she has the best personality, the best outlook, the sweetest sense, and the best disposition ever.<br />
<br />
As her first birthday draws near, I cannot help but pinch myself. My life, albeit far from perfect, is so wonderful. <br />
<br />
Everything I imagine my little family doing this time last year while I was pregnant...we are actually doing. Saturdays mean the world to me to spend time with my family all day.<br />
<br />
I'm so in love. More, everyday.<br />
<br />
<br />

I mean, we shopped till we literally dropped! We shopped the outlets for 9 straight hours!! Are you kidding me? I cannot tell you the last time I did that! We had no strollers, no babies, no time limit in sight! It was soo nice...and kind of weird!<br />
<br />
Now, don't get me wrong, I sorely missed my Harpie and Brian, but, it was such a wonderful and short get-away. Just what the 4 of us needed together! Maegan, Mary, and Sara went. We all used to work together at the same school for several years and it was so awesome how we just seemed to instantly connect with one another. I mean, how many of you can say that about your co-workers? Well, last year, a few changes happened and we were worried it would affect our friendships. But what we've learned over this year is that when you have true friends, a little distance won't change anything! Sara now works at a different school and Maegan is staying home with her son, Collins!<br />
<br />
After we shopped for 9 hours (silly us, we thought we'd have time for IKEA, too! Nope!) than we checked into our hotel (that we got downtown Cincy...Labor Day weekend...for $75!!!), got ready, and went out! After going to a not-so-hot-place...we found ourselves at the Mynt Martini for some fabulous food and then a nightclub! We danced the night away {or until 11:30...} and then stumbled in our big high heels none of us are used to wearing back to the hotel. As we fell asleep we giggled and laughed about old memories, new memories, and the thought of all of our steal-deals from the shopping trip!<br />

<br />
Hubby promised me new furniture if I would go back to work after having Harper {his way I think to make me keep going every day last year! haha} so we began looking everywhere for a certain look. After we couldn't find what we were looking for, we decided to get custom made chairs in a tan houndstooth fabric. I'm so in love! A little boutique shop in town created the yellow pillows in the pictures and the green pillows are from Kirklands. <br />
<br />
I'm loving the new look! Of course, toys line every extra space we have in this room, but I took the pics before Jordan's shower, so they are hidden a bit!<br />

I didn't get a pic, but the other corner opposite the side chair and beside the fireplace is another houndstooth chair with ottoman. The chair holds a square green pillow with a large button that is similar to the long one on the couch. The side table stayed with same with the horse photo, Keeneland lamp, and Harper photos! :)<br />

I'll post soon about the rest of our new additions and now Harper-friendly areas in the house!<br />

Hope you all have a good week! Thanks for making all my guest poster's feel welcome! Hope you found some new blogs to follow, and thanks for my new followers, too!

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 13.5pt;">Hi all!
:)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 13.5pt;">SO
excited to be a part of this guest blogging frenzy! I went to high school
with Megan, taught with her for 6 years, and now we share this incredible bond
of mommy-hood. So far, I think sharing mommy-hood with Megan has been the best
so far. It's been fun to share stories, ask for help!!, have play dates, and
watch our two little ones grow into these beautiful toddlers. We both share a
love for Christ and that's #1 in our lives. He has been SO faithful to both of
us and we are so humbled by his goodness!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 13.5pt;">So, when
Meg asked me to do a blog, I had no idea what to write. I started that first
paragraph up above and then it hit me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 13.5pt;">The
sermon Sunday morning. It has just <i>stuck.</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 13.5pt;">I'm the
farthest thing from being a minister and the last one to tell you what to do.
But, the sermon on Sunday is something I want to share and I hope you can
benefit from it as well. It was simple. Beautiful. The truth. What I needed to
hear at the very right moment. I love how God knows what we
need right when we need it. :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 13.5pt;">The
sermon was broken up into 3 parts. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Life in the Lord is a blessing, not a burden.</span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

it's all about what HE does, not what we do or what we are supposed to do. He

what happens when we live God's way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the

exuberance about life, serenity. We develop a willingness to stick with

holiness permeates things and people. We find ourselves involved in loyal

<a href="http://caudillconnection.blogspot.com/">Caudill Connection</a>! She's a new Momma so her blog is quite similar to mine in our topics these days!<br />

Hey there Blissfully
Burton readers! I am Sarah from Caudill Connection (LINK: <a href="http://caudillconnection.blogspot.com/">http://caudillconnection.blogspot.com/</a>)
and I am so excited to be guest posting for you today. Before we get to the
meat of the post, here are a few tid bits about me: I am definitely the new kid
on the mommy blog block as I just started blogging in May 2012. My lil pride
and joy, Raegan, who was born in February was definitely my motivation. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
So let’s get to the
point of this post…..new recipes! Megan is great about posting her new recipes
on Blissfully Burton but I have to admit this is one of my weak areas. I end up
fixing the same quick easy meals over and over and my husband is usually less
than thrilled, lol!</div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
So I made a deal with
myself that I would attempt TWO new meals each month, read about the previous
recipes here (LINK: <a href="http://caudillconnection.blogspot.com/2012/07/new-recipes.html">http://caudillconnection.blogspot.com/2012/07/new-recipes.html</a>).
For August I decided to make Hawaiian Crock Pot Chicken and Slow Cooker Taco
Soup. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The Hawaiian Crock Pot Chicken (LINK: <a href="http://www.food.com/recipe/hawaiian-crock-pot-chicken-467722">http://www.food.com/recipe/hawaiian-crock-pot-chicken-467722</a>)
was from pinterest and it was not a hit in our household. For one I overcooked
the chicken, yikes! But the taste just wasn’t pleasant to either of us; I guess
to each their own as some of you may love it. I believe we both ended up eating
a BIG bowl of cereal before bed this particular night : )<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
For the Slow Cooker
Taco Soup I actually picked a little from two different recipes to make one
that I liked because I just couldn’t decide which sounded better ha ha! The
first recipe came from here (LINK: <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/taco-soup-recipe/index.html">http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/taco-soup-recipe/index.html</a>)
and the other from here (LINK: <a href="http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Slow-Cooker-Taco-Soup/">http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Slow-Cooker-Taco-Soup/</a>).
This was definitely a winner, YUMMY!!! We actually warmed this up again later
in the week and had it for dinner again, ummmm this pretty much never happens
in my household so that is a BIG deal! Next time I am thinking of trying a
chicken version instead of beef, what do you think? I need some inspiration here people!<o:p></o:p></div>

I’d love for you to
come on over to Caudill Connection (LINK: <a href="http://caudillconnection.blogspot.com/">http://caudillconnection.blogspot.com/</a>)
and follow along as I continue to navigate through this new thing called
motherhood. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hello, everyone! I'm Natalie</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;">from <a href="http://www.vereen-davis.blogspot.com/">The Adventures of
the Vereen-Davises</a>, and I'm so glad to be guest posting for Megan
today! She's a wonder woman, balancing all of her students at work,
adorable Harper and time with her husband. I know so many of us are
the same way, and we all deserve time to kick back and
relax!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I've put together some fun date night
ideas, each of which has a coordinating outfit. I know it can
sometimes be hard to splurge on a new date night outfit for yourself,
especially if you have a family, if you're saving up for something
fun, or if you have a house that seems to always need repairing (I'm
all too familiar with the latter!), so I made sure that every piece I
used below is less than fifty dollars (more details can be found on my
<a href="http://ngvereen.polyvore.com/">Polyvore page)</a>. I hope
you'll be inspired to take a night off from your crazy lives, pack up
the significant other and enjoy a night out doing something both of
you like. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;">My husband, Landon, and I love going to
the movies. It's one thing to go into one of those big megaplexes,
order a huge tub of popcorn and enjoy your movie in the (over)
airconditioned comfort of your theatre...but it is another thing
entirely to go to a drive-in movie theatre! When I was in law and
graduate school, I LOVED going to the Big Mo on the weekends--it was a
forty-five minute drive, but completely worth it. (Find the drive in
movie theatre closest to you <a href="http://driveintheater.com/">here</a>). For this outfit, you'll
need something warm, since it's almost fall (finally!) and the
weather's getting cooler, especially at night. Get comfy in jeans and
a patterned pullover sweater, add some boots and cute accessories, and
all you need to worry about is snuggling with your date!<b><br /></b></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Another fun (and often overlooked date
choice) is bowling. Sure, you did it when you were in middle school,
but what could be more fun than wearing those hideous shoes, splitting
a pizza and entering into some healthy competition with your spouse?
Even if you are both horrible bowlers, I bet you'll still have a great
time. For this outfit, you need to be able to move around while still
looking cute. The solution: a monochromatic outfit with fun deals. If
it's a bit chilly, just add a black cardigan to keep you ready to bowl
a turkey (yes, that's a real thing. No, the bowling alley doesn't give
you a real turkey if you accomplish it). <b><br /></b></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Finally, you might just want to dress up
and go out on the town like actual grown-ups. Cocktails and dinner,
anyone? For a classic date night, you'll want to go with a classic
ensemble, like a little black dress complemented by simple
accessories. I love the sparkle on the dress and clutch! <b><br /></b></span></span><br />
