Pinterest



Me and many others I know are completely addicted to this website!! It has definitely been my go to site for new ideas about food, design, hair, and many other things!!

At this point in time, I've been using it to come up with ideas for my nursery such as wall color, wall designs, and different things I can make myself instead of spending huge amounts of money at a store.

I really love how you can share ideas with other people and there are news things on this site ever day.

This is a cake that I want to make :) being pregnant, I've been wanting sweets lately, especially with strawberries. Most of the time they give you the recipes for foods, so this is something I will be trying.

I'm in love with giraffes, which is part of the theme of my nursery so my boyfriends granny is going to make this for our little girl :)
Lil Giraffe. Love :)

This is a picture that I'm going off of for my nursery, but of course there will be some changes because my bedding has giraffes and other animals on it. I'm in love with this color :)

There are also a lot of DIY projects you can get off here, which I have pinned many of them that I'm going to try to do. I recommend anyone to use this website!! :)

Hungers Games

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

I read this book over spring break and I absolutely loved it.  I have never read a book like this before.  I feel like this book was pretty brutal and definitely didn't hold anything back when it came to violence, love, and loyalty. 

I read it because everyone I knew was reading it and they all loved it so I had to see what the fuss was about.  Now I understand! I couldn't stop reading it once I started, it really did suck me in.  The way this book is written was really good.  It has great detail and talks about things Ive never read in a book. I started reading this book not knowing anything about it, so if you don't know anything about this book, I would go at it the same way I did, because you will be surprised.  I'm not very good at explaining books without giving anything away so ill let you guys look it up and decide if its something you would want to read.   I have already started to read on in the series and can't wait to see how everything turns out!

I have to go see the movie now, so I'm hoping I'm not going to be disappointed.  The makers have a lot to live up to!

Belly Laughs and Emotional Highs of Pregnancy

Belly Laughs and Emotional Highs of Pregnancy
I have recently read a really funny book by Jenny McCarthy called Belly Laughs: The Naked Truth about Pregnancy and Child Birth.
This book was filled with information but not in a way that would bore you.  She was very open and honest and if you know anything about her, it was hilarious!!  She goes through the book explaining her first pregnancy and what she went through.  She explains the good, the bag, and really the UGLY about her pregnancy.

In the book she said the monster would come out of her, meaning her pregnancy hormones would lose control and she would get angry or super emotional, especially towards her husband.  Here lately, I can definitely relate to this! 

I had a really emotional and really stupid break down the other day!  My boyfriend wanted to stop at the gas station to get a soda and I had said I didn't want one at the time.  He went in the gas station locking me in my car, which I didn't know he had done.  I tried to open the door to pour out a water and my alarm started to go off.  Everyone stared at me and I was completely embarrassed!! He came out of the store and turned it off and was holding 2 huge sodas! I for some reason got upset he bought me one, LOL so stupid, I know.  He gave me this soda and it was dripping one me, I started to get upset about that, then he went over a bump leaving the gas station and the lid popped off and dumped all over my lap, that's when I started to cry, and I mean really cry and laugh all at the same time.  I couldn't control it or stop crying.  After I settled down, I couldn't help but to laugh at myself.  I've had quite a few of episodes like this since then :(

Another part of this book that I loved was when she explained the feeling of your baby moving around, which I have gotten to feel the past week.  It is an amazing feeling and now this pregnancy is feeling even more real. My belly moves a lot and I feel all different kinds of flutters and kicks.  Its something you don't understand until you go through it.

So for anyone that is having a child or plans to have one later on you should really read this book!! It really is funny and you will relate to it for sure!!
