3 things that made me smile today

Has anyone ever been SO tired that they can't see straight? Well that is me today. SLEEPY AS CAN BE! My little one decided not to sleep, AT ALL last night. It's really hard when you are so use to a 12 hour sleeper, to having her up every hour on the hour. She has had a very runny nose today and sneezing a lot. So I am going to say it's that.. however I had a good friend call out to me that she could be going through a growth spurt or even at the beginning stages of teething! She hits 4 months old soon and has started all kinds of movements like pulling her legs up and trying to roll. I was supposed to have lunch with one of my girlfriends who I adore today, Melissa. I am SO disappointed that we weren't able to make it but it's just too tough! We are having her and her hubbs over Sunday night so I am so excited! It will be easier when I have a little more help that night! I could barely roll myself out of bed at 11:00, & that is so not like me.

My 1st and most important thing to smile about today:
2nd smile...I immediately jumped in the car, bed head and all, and went to Starbucks to consume a VENTI Pumpkin Spice Latte as fast as I possibly could. I nursed before I went so I could down it and hopefully have it out before my next nursing. Boy, was it good. Just what I needed to get me going a little today... although I am not taking a shower, not getting dressed, and not going anywhere else! The 3rd thing that made me smile today was this lovely amazing gift I received in the mail from my friend Kim's mother. She is so super talented and thinking about starting a side business. She wanted to make something sweet for Avery and it was a total surprise! I just died and even had tears because I thought it was so cute, and again something I needed on a day like today! I called her and thanked her and told her I was ready to make some orders!!! When she gets her business going, I will send out her info on a blog when she approves. She is so talented and very classy! I love how she added little personalized note on the tag that told me how to wash it for "Avery" and had her name on it, it was so cute and professional!

And this tag she made for Avery's diaper bag:
So, has anyone else had a Starbucks kind of day?!?!?!? Please tell me Im not the only one!!!

    Girl... I had starbucks today!!! Kelcee has like been getting up at 5:00 am and bless her little heart we both have this sinus thing going on... So all week was like sleepless nights... We finally went out and about today but that was only cause Kelcee said "mommy get dressed up" It was soooo funny... Either she was telling me lets go somewhere or she was telling me I looked terrible in my PJ's... Ha! Ha! Avery could be teething... Early stages... or it probably is the sinus thing... Hope you have a peaceful day and can take a nap when she does...
    Summer :0)

    We live about 40 minutes from the nearest Starbucks; therefore, I buy the Frapps BY THE CASE! Sad, but oh heaven in the A.M.! ;)

    I love the diaper tag! I would love to order one for Maddox's diaper bag. Hope you'll sleep better tonight! It's so hard when your used to sleeping through the night. You can definitely get spoiled in no time at all.

    Please post her website because everything is so cute. I have three little girls and I would love outfits that all matched and then had their names on them.
    By the way, I live in Dallas and found your blog on Kelly's Korner. I have loved getting to know you and your family. It's so encouraging to read about other women who love the Lord and in the same season of life I'm in.

    Thanks for sharing.
    Blessings,

    I can't even tell you how excited I am about Pumpkin Spice Latte's being back! Even though I'm pregnant I will drink 1/2 of a tall decaf latte about once every two weeks. I can't wait until I can down a venti :)

    Girl! I am so sorry miss priss was up all night! I bet ya she is going thru a growth spurt! Kyah has not been napping AT ALL this week and it has made my days pretty challenging! I thought at first it was that we got off routine, but I have decided she's hit a growth spurt! Hopefully sweet Ave will be back to herself tonight!

    And can I just tell you how sweet you are for offering to come help me with laundry! :) I just love ya! We need to do lunch! Things have been busy around here so just let me know when a good day is for ya!

    I just got done working out and now that I read this, I think I need Starbucks!:) I guess the workout will cancel out all the bad stuff in the white chocolate mocha!
    Hope you girls have a wonderful day!
