Splish, Splash

Princess Fiona's Grandpa bought her a baby pool for the backyard last weekend. Isn't it cute?


Yesterday, we tried it out since it was like 100 degrees with unGodly humidity. A little back story for those of you who don't know, Fi is the hotest baby ever. I've known a lot of babies and she wins the award. She pours buckets of sweat when the temperature goes above 75. This winter, I had all these cute fleece outfits that people had bought for her, but I couldn't put any of those on her because she immediately overheated and got heat rash. So being a hot blooded baby she loves to be naked and she loves the water. I couldn't wait to take her out to sit in the pool because she loves the bath so much.

After the initial bad mommy moment where I turned to grab the camera and she rolled backwards and got all wet (the water was a little chilly and I think it startled her), she loved it. She sat out there chewing on stuff and splashing in the water for 30 minutes and would have continued to play, but mommy was overheating sitting in the sun beside her.

She thought the floating pillow was the best toy ever. What a great present. Thanks Grandpa!

Saturday Mornings in Summer

Here is what Fiona and I look like on most Saturday mornings, at least this summer.

We pack up early in the morning, so like 8:30, and head out to the Farmer's Market downtown. Fiona's Daddy stays home and sleeps because he is not a fan of morning. So we go with my Mom, our friend Nancy, and sometimes my Dad. We stroll around, drink some rootbeer, eat some pastries or kolatches, and buy fresh, locally grown produce. It is such a nice way to spend a Saturday morning.

Fiona loves going to the Farmer's Market. She loves to look at all the people and just watch everything that is going on. Plus, she loves riding in her ring sling, which I am pretty proud of. My Mom and I made it because I really wanted to try one out, but they are not very cheap. We decided we could make our own for pretty cheap. I really love the way it turned out. I think if I make another one I will make it longer because this one isn't long enough for Nathan to use. I have even had a few people at the Farmer's Market ask me if I made the slings to sell. Hmmm ... an interesting prospect. What do you think?

Wordless Wednesday

Candle Giveaway

I've been working on cleaning out our office/storage room this last week. Our lease is up at the end of July and we haven't decided if we will stay or go. So in case we decide to go, I have been working on cleaning/organizing stuff and some purging.

Last year I had a PartyLite party and had the chance to buy a TON of tealights and votives for like $5 or something, plus all the free stuff I earned from the party. This translated into a LOT of candles. I love PartyLite candles and I love burning candles in general. It just makes the house smell so nice.

Anyway, I decided that I have way more candles than I will burn in a long time, so I decided to give some away. I have been wanting to do a blog giveaway for awhile, so what better opportunity.

So you have the chance to win 12 votive candles and 24 tealight candles. You will get to pick from the following scents: Herbal Mint, Island Orchid&Pink Peppercorn, Cherry&Papaya, and Coconut Milk Chocolate. They all smell delicious and I would be sad to part with them, but I will never have a chance to burn them all, so now you will have a chance to burn them and make your house smell pretty.

To have a chance to win the candles:
1. Follow my blog.
2. Follow me on Twitter (AnnathanMagz).
3. Tweet about this giveaway (include @AnnathanMagz in the tweet or post a link in your comment).
4. Post about it on Facebook.

Leave a comment for each of these that you do and I will pick a winner using random.org.

Contest ends June 23 at Midnight (CST).
