Mommy and me

This is a Blog Hop!


And you know what? Shes right.
At 4am this morning while trying to convince Little Miss to go back to sleep, I was wandering through my photo roll, I started out with a lot of pictures, and slowly but surely I have very few pictures with my Emma.

So here it is, my little piece of photo heaven with our little angel.


Hospital photos with our little girl 


My favorite picture from the hospital <3


First days home


Christmas time




This little girl has changed so much, and changed ME so much


Even if being a mom means my room is messy, my dog is ALWAYS underfoot, my baby is screaming (but looks freaking adorable, I mean that outfit...the cuteness!) in 20 years, I will be glad I stopped to capture the moment.


Mommies...I hope you join in and head on over to Little Moments Big Moments blog for her wonderful post!

Beauty after baby



Since having my little princess, I spend most of my days with my hair in a top knot wearing pajama pants. Glamorous, I know.

I treated myself to some new things as we get more acclimated to this new life (read: actually go out in public) to help me feel a little less frumpy & new mom like.

My favorite item here: Gap So Pink Body Mist- $4.50 $2.25
This scent is so fresh, clean yet feminine. Even if I feel a complete mess, at least I wont smell like it!

Face Items:
Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer & Under Eye Correcter-Cover up imperfections
Neutregena Face Makeup-Its not quite a BB Cream, but not as thick and cake like as foundation--love it!
ELF (target) Mascara-self explanatory, a little mascara goes a long way
ELF(target again) Bronzer/Blush & Brush-Accentuate those cheekies!

Even on the hardest days, taking just 5 minutes to refresh really makes all the difference, and adds a little pep to my step!
What are your new-mom beauty routines??
