Perfectly Imperfect Mom

Happy Monday!

This past weekend was spent dealing with a cranky sick toddler so I have nothing exciting to post there but earlier in the week was Ace and Branden's birthdays and then I went wedding dress shopping with my bestie!

She found the most gorgeous dress. I can't wait to see her walk down the aisle.

And stick around because later in the week I will finally have Ace's 2nd birthday party pictures up. I know, slacking here!

So I know a lot of you out there are also on a health kick and trying to lose the LB's so here is an awesome giveaway for you all!

Remember when I did a review for Skinny Wraps? Well, I have another friend who is awesome enough to be giving away a Wrap Pack! You get 4 wraps and a sample of the defining gel.

The deal is you use the 4 wraps and should see amazing results because it's not just a one shot deal. The defining gel helps this process along.

The Skinny Wraps are said to firm, tone and smooth cellulite-prone areas, gently smooth and firm skin, minimize a spongy appearance, restore youthful-looking body contours and leave skin supple, soft and satin-smooth.

Sounds awesome, right? The entries are super easy too! Go "Like" her Facebook Page for an easy entry and you are on your way to winning a Skinny Wrap Pack!

I want to wish my husband a very happy birthday today!

He has been my best friend and the person who has seen me through the hardest times in my life.


There will never be a person who will understand me like him and I am grateful for what we have.
He has given me the most beautiful son I could have ever imagined and for that I will be forever thankful to him.


I love you Branny!

Many people think that writing a will constitutes a final act; something they do before they die. However, more people are writing wills at younger ages, especially if those people own property and businesses. It is important to update your will when certain changes occur in your life, for example - having your first child. Here are some things to think about when writing your first child into your will.

  • What would you like to leave your child?

Aside from the obvious point of ensuring that they are well provided for by leaving part of your estate to them, are there any particular heirlooms or family possessions that you would like to pass on? Using your will to keep family traditions going is a nice thing to do, so it is worth thinking about things other than property to leave to your child.

  • Appointing a guardian

It isn’t a nice subject to approach, but something could happen to you and your partner, meaning that your child would be left without a parent. It is vital that you use your will to stipulate whom you wish to take over caring for your child in your absence. If this is not mentioned, then care of the child would be passed over to the courts to decide, and this is not something anyone wants to happen. Although a will can be disputed, the question of whether challenging a will is the right thing to do always arises. So it is best to tackle this situation early, to avoid any problems with the court.

  • Inheritance Tax

If your estate is valued over a certain amount (£325,000 at the time of writing in 2013), then 40% tax is levied on your estate. Although your spouse or civil partner is exempt from having to pay tax on anything you leave to them, your children are exempt from this rule and anything you leave to them will be subject to tax.

Once you have revisited your will, and got these important things out of the way, then you are free to enjoy the happiness that the birth of a new child can bring.  Visit specialist solicitors like Disputingwills.co.uk on inheritance queries you may have.

My beautiful boy! You are two years old. This past year has been quite a difficult one for me because of the loss of my parents and I never would have survived it without you.

You have brought so much joy to our family in such a hard time. You make everyone laugh and smile.

I still can't get over how chatty you are. You love to talk and are very silly. You have always loved to entertain and meet people.

You have the bluest eyes like your Daddy and pinkest cheeks like your Mommy and PaPa.

Birthday Post photo DSCN1835_zpsed47dacb.jpg You randomly will ask for someone in our family and go through everyone in their immediate family and ask where they are as well. I think it is so funny that you know who goes with who.

You are very busy and love exploring. I really love how independent and outgoing you are. Your favorite thing to do is play in the backyard, you are obsessed with your water table, trike and coupe.

You have been taking swim lessons and gymnastics. You love gymnastics, swim lessons not so much. You like to swim with us but have started hating going to class. You like to jump in the pool and will go all the way under the water and just recently was able to swim to me.

You refer to yourself as "Baby" which I find super funny and cute. You love doing more things on your own like buckling your carseat chest clip. You will say "Baby buckle".

You can count to 4 and sometimes will do more if we are lucky. You are figuring out colors and letters.

We are so blessed to have you in our lives and can't wait to see what the next year brings!
