Honey Moon Suite

Had this on our door going up to our bed room

So last night we had a lot going on.  Danny had his first night of school for the second semester and I had another favorite things party to attend-love favorite things parties!!  But the thing is I promised Danny 52 dates for the year.  We’ve only had one thus far, a New Year’s Game Night.  This gift to Danny is tricky, because we can’t afford sitters every week, let alone the money for a weekly dreamy date.  Sooo….most of the winter ones are micro dates.  What is a micro date you ask? I know your dying to know. 
All the fixins for a "great" experience.  Candles, lotion, massager, cd player and compliment jar.  Check!

Our bed, complete with lights flickering in the back ground and one of the massagers on the bed.

A micro date is a quick half hour to one hour date that is in the comfort of our own home AFTER the kids have gone off to bed.  And last night around 9:40, this is what we had.  The theme was Honey Moon Suite.   I cleaned our bedroom-it really makes such a difference when it is clean ;-) –changed the sheets, swept, wiped everything down, took out all clutter, changed the quilt, decorated with hearts  lit a bunch of yummy smelling candles and brought out all the massaging supplies.  I gave my best shot at recreating a spa.
  When the kids were off to bed and we were ready to start our date, Danny tromped up the stairs where a trail of hearts led him to the bed.  There he was spoiled with homemade whoopee pies (our favorite!) scented candles flickering and relaxing music playing on a cd player complete with headphones.  I had lotions for his back and gave him a good half hour back rub.  Side note:  He didn’t eat the whoopee pies (he had one earlier) AND he didn’t wear the headphones with, instead he streamed Les Miserable from his phone for both of us to hear. 
My trail of hearts leading the bed-they are also used as compliment tips that go in the compliment jar-yes I am aware that I'm cheesy


Whoopee Pies and Treats

We chatted about our evenings, he telling me about the new class, teacher and attendees, me about all the cool favorite stuff I won!  Best of all, I know how much Danny LOVES massages, and I’m so mean, I hardly give them out. Side note:  In my defense though the guy does get a back scratch every single night.  He has rated this date as a TEN!!  Who knew something so simple and inexpensive could be such a wonderful date.  Side note: Yes I did get a mini massage at the end.
       I had a tip jar-which is actually our compliment jar (will explain in detail later) for tips.  My rules for the tips, was to grab a couple hearts off the floor and write a few compliments for me, and put in the jar till Valentine’s Day.  I did the same for him.  All in all it was a wonderful micro date, and Danny said he would LOVE to do it again!!  Of course he would, he just got a lovely half hour massage!!        

What about YOU???  Got any dating tips and Ideas for Yours Truly??  PLEASE SHARE!!!!

My Love Story Part 1

To tell my love story, I have to start from the beginning, which involves a mini love story before the love story-a chance for you to see the real confused and pushy jerk within me. We all have doubts and confusion about what is the right thing to do, what we really truly want in life, just most of you aren't crazy ridiculous like me. No matter,I will still share the story, because it is the story of me...and how I eventually met and married the love of my forever, Danny. Enjoy! It is a little bit all over the place and yeah I don't edit-no time for that. And feel free to judge.::::: "I'm not supposed to be here!" The words rattled into my head. Here I was standing in the hallway of a church building awaiting for the young single adult festivities to officially begin. Men and women bustled about, introducing themselves, laughing, playing games, while I stood there frozen in place, my heart beating with anxiety. After all, I didn't belong here, I

Meal Time Sentences

Our lovely flash cards that we DO use!!                        I am not a very good teacher.   I should be going over letters and numbers every single day with Ellyanna, but I’m not.   I should be teaching her how to trace and write them out, but of course I’m not.   I save it all for preschool, which is only two days a week.   I’m far from perfect.   But I am taking little steps.   I do something small every day, something I like to call meal time sentences.               What are meal time sentences?   Let me back track here.   A couple of years ago we bought “Your Baby Can Read” because I just had to have it and insisted that our daughters would be becomes real life geniuses in result.   Of course being the mom that I am, I was gung ho for the first couple of weeks and then easily stopped.   “Your Baby Can Read” comes with videos, which we placed in the car DVD.   Ellyanna grew sick of it quickly.   A lot of whining sounded once the theme song to these DVD started.    But B

Pregnancy Fears

I'm scared. I'm scared because I am five weeks pregnant and I have no symptoms that I usually have. I am not sick, smells are not revolting to me and I feel normal, just fine. Which makes me wonder, am I pregnant? Is there a live baby in there...or did I lose it already?? And I want another baby so bad, that this overwhelming fear weighs on me, and makes my heart heavy. Every time I see a newborn, those precious just from heaven babies, I melt. And the thought stirs me, I'm ready, ready for another baby. And I know I'm only five weeks along, but I I recall those horrible symptoms being nearly instantaneous. As crazy as it sounds, those symptoms also brought comfort. Like I always knew I was pregnant because the harsh reality was I wouldn't be throwing up like a crazy if I wasn't. Never mind I could not manage to take care of myself let alone Elly. Oh I am just scared and I don't know what to do about it. I called the doctor the other da
