My closet : mixed patterns

I've had this mini skirt for a whole now and never worn it and thought the other day would be perfect for it and since it was a little in the chillier side to pare it with some ankle boots. I've never really mixed patterns also but decided to try it and wore a white & brown striped scarf with it all.

Fun in the sun..

Yesterday we had a fun day at my parents house. We played in the little pool and outside with cousins and friends. Madden of course had a blast. The water was pretty cold but that didn't stop him from getting in all the way and splashing away. And today while I was baking he decided to climb in the dishwasher and lick the frosting off the spatula. He's such a good.   Almost Friday people! What plans do you have for the weekend?

Our weekend in pictures

Hello everyone, hope you had a fun weekend. Madden got a little spoiled this weekend. He is obsessed with my kitchen mixer when I bake which I at least a couple times a week and is always wanting to play with it which is fine but it slows my baking processing down quite a bit when I have to share. So we got him his own mixer and boy does he love it. he hasn't put it down once since he got it. And of course we has to get him his very own hockey stick since his daddy plays. It was a fun weekend. Hope you had good weekend.

Walking & madden 15 months

I am so happy to announce that the little madden is officially took his first steps today by himself! Woo hoo !!! I am so excited. We were at the doctors office for his 15 month check up and he wanted a chair, and boom... Off he went. I was so proud of him. Now he won't be making anymore new holes in his pants hopefully. ( for those of you who don't know, madden doesn't crawl ... He scoots in his butt)
Aside from his new milestone he is cutting two molars we found out and that answered my question of him being fussy and his loss of appetite lately. Hopefully that will end soon. Hope you guys have a fun weekend planned. We plan on working on walking more!!!

Splish, splash...

Oh my. Today was oobers of fun. We went to a splash pad with some of my family and madden and I had a blast. He's always loved the water and splashing especially in his bath and he had so much fun today playing with his cousins and in the water. I will be sad to say goodbye to summer but happy to bring on fall as well. We need to take advantage of the warm sunny weather while we have it and madden and I are making sure we do. Hope you guys had a fun day! What's your favorite thing to so in the summer?

Mommy tip: sleeping

So a couple weeks ago madden got a little bug that wasn't fun at all for him and mommy and daddy. Well just say it was a rough week of sleepless nights. He's been sleeping through the night for months now but whenever teething or sickness comes in place it seems to mess with him especially at night. He also doesn't eat much during the day when he's feeling down which makes for hard nights and is no fun for anybody. So i talked to my sister in law who always has great advice and tips with kids and told her maddens situation and asked how i could help him sleep through the night again. I believe he was waking up at night because he was truly hungry cause he wasn't eating as much as he usually would during the day.  So, her advice was to give him some protein right before bed. She said yogurt is great and she gave her kids yogurt before bed. So I tried that and instantly saw results. So from now on every night before he gets bath and start his bedtime routine I feed him some yogurt along with his milk and he's good to go. Thank you to my sister in law for this great advice!!

Other foods that are high protein: 
Cheese
Eggs
Peanut butter
Grains ( toast )

Hope this will help some of you with your little one of you have the same issue going on. 
Happy Friday!!!
