I'm deleting my old Email address because it just gets way too much spam, and blogger won't let me change my login ID to a different address, so I'm starting a new blogger account with a new blog. I don't mind too much because I don't have many followers and I don't keep up with this blog as much as I used to. I will be trying to post more often to my new blog.
Thanks =)
To keep up with me follow my new blog at:

MOVING!
BACK TO CALIFORNIA!
Jeremy got orders to go back to Monterey, CA for an intermediate language course. Layla and I get to go with him because it is such a long course! We're going to be about 3 hours away from my family so it will be nice to be able to see them without taking a plane or a looong car ride! We're only going to be there for about 10 months, but I'm so excited to be moving back to my home state!

Happy Homemaker Monday!
The weather in my neck of the woods:
Still in Northern California visiting with my family. It's HOT as heck here! I don't mind it too much though because it's dry heat. I'm glad to be away from the humidity.

Sore muscles from an AMAZING work out yesterday!
Cuddling with my honey {I can't wait for him to come home!}

{Yeah, yeah. You don't have to tell me twice. I'm a complete Jane Austen nerd.}
What I'm enjoying on TV:
The Bachelor Pad starts tonight!
Pretty Little Liars

Well heading home will be bitter sweet. I'm looking forward to a road trip with my mom, and sleeping in my own bed, but it's going to be hard to say good bye to my family. Layla and I will miss everyone!

If you're not that great with a sewing machine keep someone around who knows what they're doing. Thanks mom =)

Happy Homemaker Monday
The weather in my neck of the woods:
Rainy. It was supposed to rain ALL DAY yesterday, but we lucked out late afternoon and evening for fireworks time! Today is rainy, but warm. It's not too bad.
Things that make me happy:
FIREWORKS AND FREEDOM! And popsicles.
Book I'm reading:
Dawn of the Dreadfuls. I didn't like Pride & Prejudice & Zombies as much as I thought I would, and I had already bought the prequal so I figured I'd hurry and get through it. Terrible so far.
What I'm enjoying on TV:
Dinosaur Train
The Bachelorette
Pretty Little Liars (GUILTY pleasure! It's so suspenseful, but silly!)
re-runs of all my favorite crime dramas; Bones, The Mentalist, and Castle.
On the menu for dinner:
Something with chicken and left over potato salad!
On my To Do List:
Laundry.
Shopping.
Getting ready for my sister to visit and our road trip to Utah!
New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:
I really want to make some homemade popsicles with fresh fruit and yogurt.
Looking forward to this week:
Jeremy is on leave, so we get this whole week to hang out and spend time with him! We're going to go to the zoo and go swimming and shopping and just have FAMILY time!!
Tips and Tricks:
Layla got really excited about potty training when we let her wear big girl panties after she went peepee in her potty. Let your toddler wear some big kid undies so they know how great it feels to not wear a diaper. Great motivation to go in the potty!!
My favorite blog post this week:
There are a couple of good ones out there this week.
Blog Hopping (a new discovered blog you would like to share with the readers):

Book I'm reading:
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I've heard so many good things about it, and all my friends know that I'm an Austen fan so they've been asking if I've read it. I'm about 10 chapters in and I hate it already.

Go swimming with Layla and Jeremy when the Brazil-Chile game is over.

In the craft basket:
Candle holders from glass jars.
Looking forward to this week:
Warm weather and ZERO thunderstorms or rain of any sort in our near future!
Tips and Tricks:
On long car trips pack a cooler with drinks and refreshments so you don't have to stop every time one person gets the munchies.
My favorite blog post this week:
RunnerDude's post on the responsibility parents have to keep their children active and healthy. He offers tips on how to make it fun for them and not a chore so it gives them an active lifestyle. Inspire, don't require!

PEEK-A-BOO!!
During one of Layla's periods of boredom and restlessness Grandpa Jim got up with her and they played peek-a-boo for a while. She loves playing peek-a-boo!!
COLLEGE WORLD SERIES!
This is the last year they will be holding the college world series at Rosenblatt stadium. They'll be building a new one in the downtown area of Omaha. Since Florida State's team made it we decided to go to the first game of the series. Layla was a little cranky from lack of sleep (she got up at like 6 that morning,) but other than that she had fun running around and playing with her grandpa Jim. I'm glad we were able to go to Rosenblatt one more time before they tear it down.
Summer Time
The other day it was ridiculously hot outside and I wanted to take Layla and cool off at the base housing pool. It's right down the street from us, and Layla has never been in anything larger than an inflatable pool. So I made a trip to Target to get some floaties and some pool toys and we were off!
Layla enjoyed the kiddie pool. It's about 20ft x 15ft and is ankle deep the whole way through. She made some new friends to run around and splash with.
When we pulled up in the parking lot she saw the pool and got really excited. I set her down and had her wait for me on the sidewalk before heading over. She got too excited and started running and fell pretty hard. That's why she has that big scrape on her elbow. It didn't really phase her though, she was much to excited to play in the water!
