Yesterday, Lily turned 3 months old and had her monthly checkup. Her dr says shes a month ahead on everything for her age. He's amazed at how she's already trying to crawl and scoot across the floor. She can already turn herself in a complete circle when shes on her tummy. It's pretty unreal! I love watching her discover new things everyday. We also learned she has colic. I also had colic as a baby, so maybe it's because I also had it? She has had some issues with sleeping alone the past few weeks due to it. But, last night she slept in her crib all night long without any issues. I'm so glad! I enjoy being able to move around in my bed without having to worry about disturbing her or anything. She's such a happy smiling baby too. I've never seen a baby smile so much in my life! Just seeing her smile, lights up everyone around her. She's so sweet!
Since finding out about her colic, I went on the ol google hunt for help. Which led me to Gripe Water. The following day, after a long night of no sleeping we went out and got some, which I now refer to as magic water. As soon as it was in her, like seconds, it was working. Her hiccups (which she gets two times a day, at least) are gone and shes no longer in any kind of gas pain. This stuff really is magical! I highly recommend it to fellow moms whose babies are colicky. Believe me, you'll thank me later.
Gracie's birthday is right around the corner. We are having her 6th birthday party at Laser Tag this year. She's been asking to do this for about two years now. When Jordan had his party there two years ago, she told us she needed to have her 6th birthday party there too. She has every birthday party planned for the next 3 years, in her head. haha. She's so funny! Next year is Legoland!
This week I need to get Lily's 3 month photos done. I have a bunch of ideas, I just need to get it done! Fingers crossed it doesn't take me three weeks. lol
Anyway, that's it for now. Currently marathon-ing through Revenge season 2 on Netflix. Love this show!

The Mama VoxBox Review
So, I received the Mama VoxBox from Influenster a couple weeks ago and now am getting around to writing my review for all the products I received in the box. First off, I received all products complimentary from Influenster, I was not paid to test these products, it's all for fun!
POND'S Luminous Finish BB+ Cream - I actually like this product. It smells nice and has pretty good coverage. But personally, it's not enough for my skin. It's definitely smooth and applies nicely but it's just not for me. I will continue to use it and try it out a little longer, maybe it will grow on me over time. I like what I use normally and wouldn't switch to this product. It's too light for my liking, it just doesn't provide enough coverage for my skin. But that doesn't mean it wouldn't work great for someone else.
belVita Mixed Berry Soft Baked Breakfast Biscuits - I was really looking forward to tasting this! Unforunately my husband is a snack freak and ate it before he went to work the morning after I got it. LOL. He's such an ass! But according to him, it's VERY good. SO GLAD he enjoyed it. Jerk. ;)
Annie's Microwaveable Mac & Cheese Cups - This product seemed weird to me so I didn't want to eat it. LOL. I gave it to the snack king, aka Paul and he said it was awful! So, there you have it. Two big thumbs down.
Dr. Scholl's Comfort Insoles - I LOVE these! They are so soft and feel like you're walking on a cloud. I'm definitely going to buy these. I want them in every pair of shoes I own! Go buy these, ladies! Totally worth it!
So, there you have it! Thanks again to Influenster for sending me these products to test out. It's always fun being apart of these reviews.

Bedroom door makeover
You guys, it's October! Lily will be 3 months old this month and I start planning Gracie's 6th birthday. Unreal how fast time flies right by! Anyway, over the weekend I finally said to myself enough is enough and decided to paint my bedroom door. I had been thinking about painting it yellow for months and months but while I was pregnant I was so busy doing so many other things that I just never got to it. So, since Hubs was off work all weekend, which btw is very rare, I decided to get that mini project done!
Here it is before. It used to be painted in chalkboard paint but being that this door (like all my doors) have panels it really was pointless and a waste of paint to make it chalkboard. But of course I didn't think about that until after I painted it. Figures, right?
Annnd after! Yellow is bliss. :) I used the same yellow paint from Lily's nursery.
I took this wider shot on a different day then the first picture, so the lighting is different.
I'm much happier with it now and it really adds some more happy to my kitchen! :) My next project for the house is to refinish this chest/coffee table in my living room. I'm going to either do it black like the rest of the wood in my living room or a very dark wood color. I haven't decided yet. I'll be working on this project next week!
Other than that, I'll be back later this week with some product reviews from the Mama Vox Box I got from Influenster! Stay tuned! Happy October! :)
