I'm heading home to St. Pete this weekend to attend my best friend's baby shower. I would say that SHE has been waiting so very long for this, but really, we all have. If anyone deserves to be a mom, it is Melissa, and I'm so happy to be celebrating the upcoming arrival of baby Mia with her this weekend! I'm taking Rylie with me, and Bryce and Daddy will have a boys' weekend. Rylie will stay with my other best friend Rebecca while my mom and I go to the shower, and she is super excited about that! Then when I come home Sunday, Rylie gets to stay with Mama for a few days. It's going to be a great weekend!
Does anyone have any fun plans for this weekend? Have a great one!
1. Where is your favorite vacation spot and why?
I don't really have a favorite vacation spot. We haven't really been to enough places to have a favorite. Out of the few vacation spots we have been to, though, the best so far is Costa Rica. We spent our honeymoon there and we loved it! We went ziplining over volcanoes and had massages out in the middle of the rainforest. It was awesome!
2. What is your biggest guilty pleasure?
Shopping for clothes for my kids. I always feel guilty afterwards because I spend way too much money, but I can't help it...everything is so cute!
3. What is your favorite fashion trend right now? Or, in the past?
I have never really been a trendy person. In fact, I have no clue what the fashion trends are right now. The only fashion trends that come to mind are those of the 80s. Yeah, I know I'm showing my age here. Anyone remember tight-rolled jeans?
4. What are your spring break plans?
Spring Break! Woo Hoo! Remember the episode of Friends when Ross's college-aged girlfriend went down to Florida for Spring Break?
Anyway...we won't really have "spring break" for another two years when Rylie starts kindergarten. This year, it will be just a regular week for us.
5. What baby names do you hate?
Oh I can't answer this question. I would hate to make some poor, sleep deprived new mom jump off the deep end because I hate her baby's name.
I'll tell you what I do hate, though. I hate when people name their child one thing and call them something else. My dad went by his middle name, and so does my brother. I always told my mom that if she wanted to call my brother Danny, she should have made Danny his first name. Sheesh! Name your kids what you want them to be called!

Uh oh! We totally fall into that second category; Mommy wanted to make sure we both had plenty of nickname options so we could pick what we like... My birth certificate says Nicholas, but everyone calls me Cole, and baby Lulu is officially Eloise...
Hope you are having a great girls weekend with Rylie and at the baby shower. Congrats to your friend!! I heard Costa Rica is beautiful, I would love to go there some day. And I remember the tight rolled jeans...lol! What about the bright neon clothes and the 5 pairs of socks we used to wear...lol!
Sooo, I know I'm a little late but w/the family in town I got behind on my internet activities. I just had to say thank you for the kind words(and making me get all teary) and for everything you do and have done for baby Mia and I! Love you!
I have the same peeve as you do when people name their kids, then call them something else. With all three of my kids, I specifically chose names that couldn't be shortned. For instance, my youngest son was going to be named Benjamin but I just knew people would call him Ben, so I named him Adam instead.
