I feel like a failure...

Ya know - with all the hard work Ive been doing around here...
I really feel like a failure.
Ive been busting my bum in the store, like always...
Ive been trying to set aside extra special learning and play time with the boys...
We've been going on the occasional walk, bike ride... and or trip to the park...
Making sure the house is nice and clean every day when hubby comes home...
and been cooking yummy, well, usually yummy dinners...
but even after all that... something is dragging on me...
what is it you ask? This blog...
And Brooke... your BLOG has really been rubbing it in...
(Keep up the good work girlie, it rocks!)
I know I know... I have awesome reviews right?
Great prizes!? YAY!
But I always want more out of it...
every time I build myself up to REALLY start blogging again...
I end up letting myself down.
But i REALLLLLY wanna do it.
So Im gunna give it on last big push...
If you remember I had started little themes...
Tuesdays are gunna be the new Review/Giveaway days...
Wednesdays are the popular "Wordless Wednesday"...
Thursdays were "Thirsty Thursdays" where I share an awesome cocktail recipe!
Fridays were "Favorites Friday" where I do a pretty little collage of my favorite etsy items...
Saturdays were "Note to self Saturday" Where I share something dumb I did that week...
and sundays & Mondays ... well... those are just lazy days...
So here it is folks... Im back in the game...
PLEASE feel free to give me a nudge on twitter (@RockerByeBaby) Or facebook...

BUUUZZZZZz Who wants a happy baby? I DO I DO!!

Saying that today was a rough day...
would be an understatement...
Crabby, fussy babies... allllll day...
napped terrible... hardly ate...
and to top it all off.
Our saving grace of getting them out of the house couldnt happen.
It was cold and rainy all day. :(
Sad mama...
And just as my head was about to start spinning in circles...
EUREKA!
I remembered I had to do tonights review and we could FINALLY
use our new toy from HappyBabeeandBeeyond...
see here: www.HappyBabeeandBeeyond.etsy.com

Ive been dying to get one of these...
and I was gunna buy them for christmas, and put it off...
bought some chunky toddler crayons instead...
(which turned out to be more of a snack and a fight with my 1 year old... haha)
I shoulda just bought these.

The boys LOVED it...
I dunno what magical powers she sews into the seams.
(the perfectly straight seams i might add)
But somehow it is WAY cooler than just a pack of crayons...
I pulled it out, and the boys were silent...
colored... had fun... and mommy could breathe...
Happy Baby... yeah - she chose the perfect name.
They open up to be the perfect little crayon holster...
and roll up tight to toss in a bag... a drawer... where ever...
and keep all your crayons nice and tidy.

Mess free, clutter free, drama free... just the way I like it...
And once again. Made with one of my favorite prints... Goth Baby Skulls.
So cute... and totally unisex.
Check it out... They loved it..
I couldnt choose a favorite photo...
so I chose them all :)
My little lefty - coloring mama a picture...

and hiding from a picture..... haha

and so happy to have a new toy... that he is even hugging his little brother...

**sibling loving & hugging results not guaranteed, hahaha**
