I've got an announcment!

Can you guess what it is?


This is how we told our parents last weekend. My mom figured it out within a few minutes, but I'm not sure Nic's parents would've ever figured it out. I think the quickest was my hair stylist, Cindy. I had no longer taken Belle's coat off before she was asking me if I was pregnant.

I've been feeling fine. My only symptoms are being utterly exhausted and horrible acne. With Belle my face was clear, but I guess I'm not so lucky with this one. =)

I guess I'll have to change the name of this blog, its no longer just Mandy and Belle. Any ideas?

Our Last Horrah!!

My wonderful husband decided to suprise me with a trip to Mexico next week. We leave on Sunday morning at 3am! Should be a relaxing time. He had tried to keep the destination a secret, but with 3 days to go he let it slip. We are going to Cancun, which was my guess all along.

Why is it our last horrah? Well see the above post. I'll be quiting Pulse sometime by fall and will be trying to freelance. I'm pretty sure this is going to be our last vacation in a LONG LONG time. I'll be spending my summer trying to learn to live on one income. =)

I'll be sure to post some pics of the warm weather when we get back.

Our crazy girl!

Here is a video of Belle making herself dizzy, her new favorite pastime.

Playdate with Michaela

Yesterday Belle had a playdate with Michaela. We haven't seen Kelli and Michaela since Thanksgiving. The girls have both gotten a lot bigger, and I'm jealous of Michaela's hair. Her hair is so long and thick, poor Belle still has thin scraggly hair. This was the first time that the girls actually played together, it was cute to see.

Cause she's cute!

Yeah, it's done, it's finally done!

It's hard to believe I've been working on my portfolio site since fall. I built the site myself (ha ha, I feel like Rhaya built most of it) using html, css and then integrated into WordPress, a blog site. For the longest time the portfolio has been giving me grief and I finally figured it out on Friday, thanks to the WordPress forums.

So check it out. It'll serve as my portfolio site as well as a place to post all my crafty projects and cool things I find.
