FANCY FRIDAY

This week I had several things that tickled my fancy so I thought I'd mix it up and share them all with you... After almost 3 years, I finally got my act together and scheduled a professional family photo shoot. We got super lucky with an amazing night in Laguna Beach with Theresa from Lollipops and Slingshots. Seriously do you see that sunset?? This is just a sneak peek at what's to come but I am so excited to see what she captured. Isn't my little peanut a stud? ;) Last week I discovered that baby Lance was breech. I was so bummed about the news but my Dr. was very confident in his ability to flip him around. Versions statistically have a 60% success rate. I agreed to the procedure with A LOT of hesitation and anxiety. As I asked around to other moms, some said it hurt while others said it was slightly uncomfortable. I was a wreck anticipating the pain. And OH MY was it painful and more intense than I realized. The Dr. predicted that I'll have another "turbo" kid based on the damage he has done to the insides of my body. In his terms, "I've taken a pretty good beating from this kid." But after 4.5 hours in the hospital hooked up to IV's and a heartbeat monitor, 3 nurses, 4 IV's, and 2 Dr's manipulating little Lance to a head down position, it was a SUCCESS!!!!!! I am so thankful for my Dr's and the possibility of having a vaginal (can I say that???) delivery...as long as Lance cooperates and stays in his new position! As a "we're proud of you" surprise, an Edible Arrangement arrived on my doorstep from my parents. I. love. these. things!!!! I'd prefer a basket of fruit over flowers any day! Thank you Mom and Dad for always thinking of me. xo On Thursday, I took some "me" time during nap, put on my (too tight) bikini and laid out in my backyard. Can't beat an 87 degree day in Southern California in March. Although extremely repulsed by my swollen ankles and sausage toes, I was in heaven. Hopefully I'll get to do it again because I know after popping out this baby, mama won't be lounging much.

Have a fantastic weekend! Cheers to the many things that tickle your fancy and bring a smile to your face.

Tame the Tum: Spare tire or stress bulge?

For many women, getting bikini ready means tackling one dreaded area in particular — our tummies. Most of us still think the best way to achieve a washboard stomach is by doing hundreds of sit-ups. Not so, says A-list trainer and body guru James Duigan. James, who sculpts supermodels Elle Macpherson and Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley among others, insists there is no ‘one size fits all’ method for getting a flat belly. Instead, he’s identified five key ‘tummy types,’ all of which require a different approach to achieve successful toning. Once you figure out your tummy type (mine is the STRESS BELLY) thanks to the UK Daily Mail , you'll be on your way to getting the perfect midriff... THE SPARE TIRE TUMMY The spare tire: This is one of the easiest tummy troubles to eliminate because it's caused by eating the wrong foods and not exercising enough. HOW TO IDENTIFY THIS TYPE These people are likely to lead sedentary lives, perhaps with jobs that k...

Gift Guide: 20 Unique Valentine Gifts For Your Man

It’s almost that time of year again when you get to express your love on Valentine’s Day with these unique gifts for him. Here’s a knock-out list of gifts for every budget that are sure to show him just how much you love him. MR. FIX IT: HAND LIGHT Put a handy light right where he needs it most: on his hand. This is perfect for those tight jobs where holding a flashlight and doing the job might be hard to do at the same time. It frees up his hands so he can get work done and see what he’s doing. MR. HANDY: HAMMER/AX MULTI-TOOL With this multi-tool he’ll be able to do all sorts of things, and unlike most other multi-tools this one includes a mini-ax, so it’s just a little more awesome than the others. It’s not like he can chop a tree down with it, but it could definitely come in handy. MR. PARTY: BARWARE SET If he likes to make drinks let him do it with more ease when you get him this barware set. It has everything a bartender uses to concoct delicious beverages, and will let him...
