My Snow White

I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but Eva LOVES Snow White. We must watch it at least 10 times a week. She dresses up and dances to the music. She just really likes Snow White. And every time she sees an apple, she tells me, "Momma, Snow White's apple."

Last night, her and Joe were watching Snow White. And when this part of the movie came on, she started to sing. After, she told Joe, "Daddy you can be my prince. Until I find another one." It cracked me up! Joe couldn't help but laugh too. Now we'll have a cute little story to tell her boyfriend...in 18 or 20 years. :) ♥Anna Marie♥

Life with Two

Life with 2 little girls is a lot more complicated than I ever could have imagined. But it's so much fun!

Eva makes us laugh constantly. She is always trying to do what Joe and I are doing. My parents recently bought her a little toy vacuum. It actually vacuums! And early in the morning we hear it. When we ask her what she's doing, she tells us, "I'm cleaning. My room is dirty."

And Emma, well my baby girl is just all cuddles. We spend a lot of time together. Because I'm still breastfeeding. I do think Joe gets a little jealous that he can't just take her. Because he's really close to the girls. But he understands that we need to be near.

My favorite time of day, is early in the morning. Joe goes to work pretty early. But he'll go get Emma and Eva will make her way to our bed. And we all just snuggle and cuddle. It's so much fun. And I'm enjoying every second of it! Because I know, before I know it, they'll be all grown up.

But that's life. And you have to cherish every moment you have. I know I do. I like watching Eva accessorise her little outfits. I'm not going to lie. There are days we leave the house when she has on a tiara, plastic Snow White shoes, and her Tinkerbell purse. The girl has some style! And Emma, I just love smelling her. There is just something so yummy about a baby. That's life. A little crazy. But full of love. ♥Anna Marie♥

Barry M Raspberry

I don't know where I first saw this color, but I fell in love! How could you not? It's just a pretty berry color. But here in the great USA, Barry M isn't sold. And shipping is so expensive. So until I can justify the shipping, I'm going to continue to dream about this color. It's just the perfect color! ♥Anna Marie♥

Cute Makeup Brushes

I think this is the cutest set of makeup brushes ever! I've been eyeing them for a while. And at $40 for 15 brushes and that cute case, I think it's a good deal. That case reminds me of a clutch. I think it's amazing!

I've heard from my friends that this is a good set. I'm no expert on makeup, so I'll believe them. I really think I'm going to splurge and order a set. My excuse can be, they make for easy traveling. :) ♥Anna Marie♥

Winterberry Heaven

Not to long ago we spent some serious time with Lola. And she looked AMAZING! Her eye makeup was incredible! So I asked her what she was wearing. Because the colors were really gorgeous.

Lola told me that she's been wearing colors from the Winterberry Palette. It's $22. I'm honestly ordering one today. I think these colors go well with my eye and hair color.



I'm really starting to love the makeup and products from Coastal Scents. There are some nice items, for good prices. Is there anything that you like from there? Or that you would recommend. ♥Anna Marie♥

Much Love Illy Giveaway

Aren't these some beautiful pieces? Cakies is hosting a giveaway with 3 items from Much Love Illy. I would just love a few things from this shop! You can still enter here. But hurry. The giveaway is only open for about another hour. So hurry up and enter! ♥Anna Marie♥

Peppermint Patties

Recently, I've been in love with Peppermint Patties. I've been eating them like crazy! I finished 2 bags in 1 week. This is getting out of control! I just can't get enough of them. And I don't know why.

It scared me so much, I took a pregnancy test. Nope, we're not expecting. But I have this insane craving, for peppermint patties. There's something about them. The coolness from the mint, and the smoothness of the chocolate. So yummy! ♥Anna Marie♥

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

I forgot how fun Children's Books are. Really I did. Until I had my girls. They remind me of all these fun things from my childhood. Like The Very Hungry Caterpillar. One of my favorites! I remember reading this with my cousins. We were 5 or 6 years old. And would sit under the big trees at my parents house. :)

Love this book! It makes me smile. Do you remember all the things the caterpillar ate? So much fun!

These yummy cupcakes make me smile too! One day, I want to have a birthday party for one of my kids. In this theme. Wouldn't that be fun?

We've always read to Eva. But recently, Joe and I are digging through our old toys and books. It's so fun to share these things with our kids. To play with them. And to watch them enjoy the same things that we loved. ♥Anna Marie♥

My Splurge!

Is it crazy that I just splurged and bought me this "Book of Shadows?" I couldn't resist. I've always wanted to buy one of Urban Decay's "Book of Shadows." Well, I finally "bit the bullet" and bought one. And I'm very impressed. These shadows are changing my life!

I don't want to sound all dramatic. But this purchase is making my life much easier. Because with 2 kids, it's hard to get ready in the morning. Some days, I'm lucky to have time to brush my teeth. I know, it's nuts!

But Urban Decay eye shadows are amazing! They blend like a dream. And I'm honestly in love. I wish that there were more matte shades. Because some of these have too much sparkle for me. But I'm learning how to work with them. Honestly, this was a great buy! ♥Anna Marie♥

Brown Bear, Brown Bear

"Brown Bear, Brown Bear what do you see?" This has been our book of choice. For weeks. Eva is just tickled pink! I think it might have something to do with the way Joe reads the story to her. Lots of fun voices. So adorable!

This is a little miracle worker. Yes, Eva gets excited to go to bed, at bedtime. Why? Because her and Joe sit reading their favorite book. For at least an hour. Yes, it's the most adorable thing I've ever seen!

This was Joe's favorite book as a little boy. How cute, huh?

My mom also bought Eva these little finger puppets. They're supposed to be "Brown Bear" inspired. :)

It's so fun to be parents. We get to share things with our kids. Things that we loved and enjoyed as kids too! But I have to admit it, this is a fun book. And I'd do anything to hear that cutie pie giggle. It's priceless! ♥Anna Marie♥
