Guest or Host?

Sunday was my cousin’s baby shower! Yay! I had a lot of fun and really enjoyed seeing family I don’t get to see very often!(and a few visits from the ambulance thanks to peanuts!) It got me wondering who you would rather be at a party. I guess it would depend on the type of party but I think most of the time I would enjoy being the hostess the most...as long as I'm not one of those annoying pushy hostess' ...I'd feel horrible. Ha.

Yes it can be a lot of work and stress (sometimes a lot of money) but it feels great to see your plan fall into place. Being a guest is great when you just want to relax and have a little fun! As a hostess though you can take your whole plan and see it finally fall together (a birthday party for example). Obviously every single detail won't be perfect but you can finally see the payoff of all the hard work you did.

So who would you rather be? Hostess or Guest?

I'm (NOT) Pregnant!

As (pretty much) all of you know, I do not currently have a child nor am I expecting but with my husband and I *relatively* planning out the next few years of our lives I have been thinking of what will happen when I do get pregnant. I didn’t realize how much there is to think about! How to decorate, where to put the nursery, moving?, budget (Yes, I am already beginning to acquire baby things!...(I’m not weird…)),

I just HADDD to have a few things…

find out or not find out!, names, (I guess these are all things I can figure out when I’m actually pregnant…(Maybe I am weird…))  How do we tell people?! A lot of people do creative things to tell friends, family, etc. that they are expecting. I figure it’s never too early to begin thinking of cute ideas. Giving gifts, wearing a shirt that says “Future Sabres fan” with a little arrow to my belly and see who notices. When I was born I guess my grandma had said she was going to move into my parents extra bedroom. My dad said she could have it but only for a few months because someone else would be moving in!

So I know I’m a little ahead of myself here and apparently, according to this post, I like run-on sentences and dislike grammar, but how did you tell your family and friends that you were/are expecting?? Trying to plan the perfect time and way to tell everyone doesn’t always work out, sometimes it just happens! Link up or comment and let us know how it happened for you!

I Love Sunny Fall Days!

With so many dark and gloomy days during fall we need to find things to keep us happy through the muck. I don’t know about you but as for me my mood usually changes with the weather. I love bright sundress type days and never want to do anything on cold gloomy ones. I decided to find some things I love about fall:

• Decorations
• Leaves
• Snuggling up in front of the fire
• The food!
• The colors
• The fashion (perfect weather for boots, bags, scarves, and sweaters!)
• The Activities (Pumpkin carving, baking, apple picking!)
• The beginning of “the holidays”
• The sports! (end of baseball, football, beginning of hockey)
• Hot Cider and Hot Chocolate!

Does your mood change with the weather? What is your favorite thing about fall?
