Kiss Me, I’m Irish (maybe?)

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Kiss me, I’m Irish! Or at least I think a little bit of me is? But who knows for sure? So obviously we are celebrating in our house. Mostly because redheads look good in green. But any excuse works, right?
And now, a St. Patrick’s Day list…..
 1. A certain little leprechaun woke us up at 2am and was ready to party. Too much talk about rainbows and pots of gold I guess. Long story short, a toddler who sleeps in our bed horizontally = mommy goes to sleep on the couch. 
2. 28 Weeks tomorrow….holy cow! 
3. I have another ultrasound scheduled tomorrow, which means I have to stay strong AGAIN and not find out the gender. Send up a quick prayer!
4. I don’t know how I waited until March 16th to have a shamrock shake. Thankfully my husband understands my sudden cravings and jumped in the car to go pick one up for me last night. He knows the way to this pregnant girl’s heart. 
5. I promise that one day my blog posts won’t be filled with iphone photos. I need to step up my game.

    What did we do before iPhones?! Ha! You look GREAT! Prayers for a healthy ultrasound and NOT seeing any clues! 😉 Is this a scheduled ultrasound, or are they checking on something? I have one in two weeks to check the placement of my placenta…exciting stuff! 😉

    Yep, redheads and green 🙂 Good combo! Love that picture of Hudson; he's so cute with his bunny. I have never had a shamrock shake but I've seen quite a few pics on IG lately and may need to try one!

    No judgment here. Most of my blog photos are iPhone pics and I have no shame. #reallife ain't nobody got time for this.

    And I've never had a shamrock shake…oops

Thankfully our Scout Elf, Spike, showed up this morning with an @elfontheshelf official Scout Elf Carrier and an Elf Pets Official Carrier for our reindeer too! Now our North Pole pals can safely travel with us wherever we go! The kids had so much fun taking their pals on a winter walk to enjoy the snow! And see that cute little stowaway in Belle’s arms? Meet the Bogie – a brand new friend from the North Pole who is ready for some love and adventures! I just love enjoying all of these magical moments with my kids. It really does not get any better than this! #elfontheshelf #elfpets
#ad It’s that time of year! Time to make sure yo #ad It’s that time of year! Time to make sure your child is up to date on their well-child visits and vaccines! As the chief advocate for my kids, I always want to make decisions that are the best for them and for our family. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for these little loves of mine, and I know all of you can relate! That is why I vaccinate my kids. Vaccinating your child is one of the safest and most effective things you can do to protect them against serious preventable diseases. If you live in Michigan like we do, it’s time to schedule that well-child visit and make sure your kids are up to date on their vaccinations! I’ve done a lot of research and talked to our pediatrician at length about what is best for my family and I would encourage you to do so too. It’s normal to have questions—it makes you a good parent! But make sure you are getting answers from credible sources. Remember, vaccines are safe, effective, and help protect everyone. Ultimately I decided to vaccinate my children because not doing so puts them at risk of contracting a potentially deadly disease. I want the best for my kids. If you have questions or need a reliable resource, check out @IVaccinateMI for information and tools based on real medical science and research to help Michigan parents protect their kids from vaccine-preventable diseases.
