THIS IS THIRTY-SEVEN + ANOTHER RANT

I plan to do a more up beat post on this topic in the future, but right now.. I'm going with my mood. 

I'm a little disappointed with my wobbly bits. Brownie bites make me happy, I can hardly eat less than two at a time. I'm often baffled when I hold a size small shirt up to me and it looks like a perfect fit, only to be disappointed at its snugness when I get home and put it on. I largely eat healthy meals, eggs and turkey bacon for breakfast, greek yogurt and berries.. fruits throughout the day.. .lots of veggies at dinner… but I have a snacking problem. I rarely drink beverages outside of coffee and water, but am also rarely able to pass up the calypso cookies I bring home from the Publix Bakery for H - Who has lost a few pounds while eating cookies and drinking only a half glass of water daily. These last 10 pounds are really getting on my nerves. And so is Jillian Michaels and her 30 day shred. What about a 3 day shed? That I can work with. 

Also, my hair won't hold curls:-(

p.s. Don't get me wrong. I love myself dearly.. Just taking note, working through some things, getting it all out on the table.. good and bad. Bear with me.. roll with me if you will.

MY FAVORITE BREAKFAST + HAPPY LIST

photos via me

I've been a bit anxious over the last week or so. Maybe the anticipation of having our parents visit last weekend. The school year is coming to a close and I am doing CAMP MOM (sans summer camps) which means my work load is about to double.  Also, I've been thinking a lot about my friendships and how they have changed over the last few years.. . Its been making me feel some kinda way:-/

So in an attempt to get some Woosa!! happening over here, I'm taking a moment to find my happy place. And hang out there for a bit. Listing a few simple joys that make me happy and are guaranteed to  put a smile on my face.

Stripy or polka dot straws and anything in a mason jar.

My hair when its freshly blown out (makes me feel vivacious.. raaawr!).

The biggest Iced Soy Chai Latte I can find (preferably dancing goats). Somehow I always seem to finish it before I get back to the car:-(

Manicured brows. They make me look like a human.

Kissing my babies on the lips while they are sleeping (that's weird I know).

When Tony rides his skate board (super sexy).

An early morning run all by my lonesome.

Fresh cut Peonies

A new hand bag to fill with a gazillion things. I've got my eye on this one.

Oh and this yumminess. Fage Greek Yogurt, Apples, Pecans, Cinnamon, a drizzle of honey. I  eat it almost every day.

What's your happy list? Ooooh! link back to me and tag #bhcohappylist (bunnie hilliard and co happy list).. OOH or top five in the comments!! I'd love to know.

xx,
Bunnie

FLASHBACK FRIDAY : WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DONT PUT THE VASELINE AWAY

I ALMOST DIED when I ran across these. I was digging through the crates to find some pics of myself when I was as fit and trim as I'd like to be and this came across my computer screen. I remember it like it was yesterday. That is one of my most favorite Tea Collection sweater dresses that was totally RUINED. No way I was getting all of the oil out of that thing.

At any rate. THE CUTEST LITTLE MUNCHKIN - SHE IS!! It made me a little weepy to see. I feel like I've been fussing at her a lot lately. About moving too slowly when I ask her to do something. Not listening to me the first time. I'm just trying so hard to raise her to be a smart, confident and responsible girl. But I have to remember to let her be a little girl. They wiggle and squirm. Don't have the greatest attention span. And are still watching and learning every little thing. And that takes time. It reminded me that she is my little girl and to be patient with her NOW. Just like I to be the day she got into the Vaseline.

 this one - yes!! 

excited to be doing a little valentines day party withe littles this weekend. 

what are you getting in to? aren't you glad its friday?!

xx,

Bunnie
