Rebecca Minkoff is here!

And she is gorgeous! Rebecca Minkoff 'Mini MAC' Clutch

I saw this on sookiepyo's youtube video, it's in her latest "What's in my diaper bag" video.  I saw her pull that bag out and I fell in LOVE.  I had to ask her what brand it was and where I could get it.  She was super nice and gave me all the details.  She is one of my favorite YT moms, she is super stylish and gives out great beauty and fashion advice. (plus she has a great collection of bags)

I have been looking for a crossbody clutch, and this is prefect.
For my Birthday, 2 of my good friends (Alice and Jen) gave a a nordstrom Gift Card.  So I knew excatly what I wanted to do with that card.


I took 2 weeks to decide on what color I want.  It was down to That red

Navy

or Teal

I did what any girl would do.  I took a poll with my best girl friends.  The red won :)

I actually Love all the colors so maybe I will get another one.  Christmas IS right around the corner....

Crazy Hair Lady

My hair is hot mess right now!

I need to trim my hair, I need a hot oil treatment, I need to dye it (I have like 2 inches of roots showing), oh heck I need to just shave my head and start all over!

I keep making appointments and canceling it.. I think my hair dresser is sick of me right now.
I am also very indecisive, keep it long?, cut it short? stay lighter? go darker? bangs or no bangs? highlights? lowlights?

Right now I am thinking about violet black for my color.

This way I can get my hair darker without feeling bored.  I am a gal who had every color of the rainbow on her head. So a little violet doesn't scare me.

This weekend is pretty packed, I will make an appointment for next Saturday and I will try my best to keep it.  Lord knows I need to do SOMETHING with the mop.

Non-Cooking Fridays

It's Friday! I call it "non-cooking Fridays"   This is the one day out of the week I refuse to cook.

Being a full time working mom, my weekday is really busy.

• I get up at 5am
• Drop off my son at my mom's
• go to work
• come home and cook
• feed Jacob
• feed myself and hubby
• clean dishes (Hubby and I take turns with bathing Jacob and doing the dishes so I will never have to do both on the same night)
• Bathe Jacob
• figure out what is for dinner the next night, take things out to de-froze and etc
• cut up some fruit for dessert  (This week is grapes and Jacob loves feeling them to me)
• then it's off to bed for story time 
• and then finally sleep

So on Fridays I do not cook nor clean! Hubby takes me out to a restaurant or we order take out.  This way I get to spend some time hanging out with Jacob before his bed time.

I think every mom deserve to have a night off at least once a week.

Nothing like Momma's Cooking...

Everyone thinks their mom are the best cook in the world, and I am no different.

(although I can't ever imagine Jacob ever saying that about ME. I am a terrible cook, just ask my husband)

I LOVE my mom's cooking, from the seafood, to the beef, to the honey chicken (that my hubby loves so much) and to her SOUPS!

Soup are HUGE in Chinese culture, some medicinal, some helps skin, some will help you lose weight, gain weight, some for after childbirth, some to help get over colds and the list goes on and on.

I love all types of soup, Chinese, Vietnamese , Korean, American, Thai, loas, Italian, french... Let's just say "if it’s a soup... I'm trying it!"

So when she texted me yesterday asking me to stop by after work to pick up some soup, I was so there!

Jacob also loves soup, especially right now. He is teething and the only thing he will eat is soup mixed with rice. So this is perfect for him.

She made my all time favorite vegetable soup.

• potatoes

• carrots

• celery

• onions

• tomato

and some other stuff I don’t know about.

I would love to sit here and act like I know how to make this and give you all the recipe....but I have no idea what else she puts in it.

and bonus: she even got me a hello kitty lunch bag! My momma is the best!

Online Shopping for Jacob

I am a huge online shopper.  I love looking for great deals online.  Free shipping, coupon codes, I love doing all of that without leaving my home or office.

Here are a few sites I frequent:

I love these private/sample sales Sites.  You can get some great brand name stuff for a great price.  They have different sales everyday, and the items are limited.  Gilt and Totsy has a Iphone/Ipad/Itouch App you can download and it will alert you when the sales starts.  I check them everyday!  (and you can find some great stuff for yourself!)

Gilt

Totsy

Zulily



and all moms are familiar with the next three.

I love digging thru the sales rack at baby gap, they usually email me coupon codes for40-50% off.  Add that bad boy onto the sale stuff, and you got yourself a pretty good deal on some good quality stuff.

Who doesn't love Children's Place??? 

My favorite thing to get from them are the footie Jammies

I come here alot more when Jacob was a newborn. They have great oneies and cute little outfits

And I come here to Amazon (mom) for everything else.  Diapers, skincare, bath stuff and toys

Joining Amazon mom gets you some great discounts, and if you do subscribe and save, you get to save even more!

Oh and Did I mention they have a free prime trial??

What does that mean?? 

FREE 2 day SHIPPING!



My Favorite quick and instant Lunch

Buying lunch everyday at work can get really expensive.  So whenever I get a chance to stop by H-Mart, I always pick up a box (for four) of these Udon Noodles, its yummy, super easy to make and its cheap  $2.50 each.   It really fills me up!

     Just add hot water and pop it in the microwave for 3 minutes

and you will have some Yummy Goodness!!!

Sidenote:  How cute are the holiday coke cans with the polar bears!!!!!

Look who's 19 Months today!

Where does the time go????

He is 19 months today!  In a blink of an eye, my little baby love turn into a big boy love!

Status

• Diaper Size: 4
• Clothing Size: 18-24 months
• Shoe Size:  7
• Weight and Height: TBD (well check up on 12/21)
• Current Shows: caillou and super why.   He still likes his Sesame street but he is totally into caillou these days.

He is learning things at such a fast pace... it's kinda scaring me a little.

He tells me what he wants to eat, by saying  "Yessssss"  (he drags out his "s") or "No!"

He can say YOGURT!

He throws his own diapers away in the diaper champ.  (I am waiting for the day he can change his own diapers LOL)

He will keep saying NO over and over and over again if I am watching anything thats not on the sprout channel.

He laughs when anyone farts (himelf included)

He can say grandma, grandpa, uncle and auntie to my husband and my parents and siblings.

He knows his animals, Horse, cat, dog, duck, pig, ETC
He know to get his shoes to go out when I say "shoe shoe"
He knows the "if your happy and you know it song"
and he just starting trying to sing the caillou theme song

I am sure I am missing a whole bunch of stuff, but that's all I can remember for now.

I can't believe he is 19 Months!! 5 more months until his 2nd Birthday! oh my!  Is it time to start planning his party?? hehehe.

Awww my baby love, you are growing up way too fast.
