Good-bye Designer Mat Jeans

Like most of my girlfriends, I have a serious denim addiction. If it's dark wash, bootleg, skinny and has a price tag that looks like a car payment, I want it. Lucky for my pocket book, I'm really good at grabbing them on sale. 10% off still counts as a sale right?

When I was pregnant I bought a pair of maternity Paige Jeans for 60% off. They're know as the best butt jeans in Premium Denim. I read it on their website so it must be true. Anyway, the only reason I walked out of the store with just one pair of jeans, was because they didn't have my size in the other styles. Please note at the time of purchase I was one jean size larger. Boo.

I wore them all the time; to work, to dinners, to fashion shows, to the mall, to pick up groceries. My pregnant ass never looked so good. They were my favorite article of clothing for all three trimesters.

They were still my go to jeans during the "forth" trimester, after the birth of the baby but still before I gave a shit about working out. I've even worn then on and off for the last few months when I know I'm going to eat a big dinner and need the comfort of an elastic waist band.

But alas, today, about six months since I've given birth, I have to retire my maternity jeans. They are one size too big.

In Yo Face

Hubby's mom recently gave us a bottle of Fairy Mist. It's an Aromatherapy spray that is supposed to calm baby's down. I spray the living room in the evenings with it, before Eloise goes to bed. If she's cranky, I'll spray a couple of mists around her. It seems to work. The directions read; From deep within the garden, the Aroma Fairies have gathered this delightful blend to gently calm and soothe children of all ages. Spray mist above your child's head. One day, when Eloise was super upset, crying, crawling away from me, then crawling back to me wanting to be picked up, then pushing me away because she really didn't want to be picked up, Hubby asked how he could help. I said, "Grab the fairy mist." He came into the room, spray head pointed right at Eloise's face, ready to pull the triger. Before he could I yelled, "You're not going to spray it at her face, are you?" He paused. He totally was going to spray her in the fac...

Good-bye Mommy Brain

I go back to work, tomorrow. OMG! People have been asking me how I feel about it. My general response is, "Excited, because I really need to start exercising my brain." I didn't realize how dumb I'd gotten this year, until yoga class yesterday. I've been taking yoga on Tuesday nights for the past 4 months. It's been great for my body, and an awesome excuse to leave the house without my baby. However, since I'm going back to work, I figured that I might actually want to spend evenings, after work, with my child. So when I signed up for my next series of classes, I decided to do a weekend class, Saturdays 1pm to 2pm. At the first class we started a little late, because of new registrants, signing of waivers, and payment processing. To my surprise, the instructor went an hour over. I guess it was to make up for the late start. I had only paid for an hour parking, so I was a little nervous when I walked out to the car. The Universe gave me a free pass t...
