I did me some hauling this last week or so. On my son's birthday the other day, I took him out to have a birthday meal at Mimi's. Just me and my boys, Mr. Man was out of state on a business trip so I had me a nice day with my boys.
We hit up Mimi's Cafe, Toys R Us and the Puente Hills Mall. Baby E was a good lil baby and slept through most our time out.
Anyways, here's a few things I've hauled in the last few days.
necklace/earrings holder - Forever21 for $8.80
I went into Forever 21 to look for accessories, but this totally caught my eye. I've been looking for something to hold my dangly earrings and this is totalllly perfect and for less than $10, you can't go wrong.
And here it is in use.... it's perfecto!
Hello Kitty DS case for my baby pink DS I bought from Spankadelic
Hello Kitty case from Target $14.99
heart necklace from Charlotte Russe - $5.99, I'll be sportin' this with my outfit on Saturday at IMATS =)
China Glaze in Black Diamond... such a pretty black color.
I couldn't resist! I know he'll grow out of them in a couple of weeks and I know he'll probably only wear them once or twice. LOL. I actually got these for his baby portraits which I'm planning on having done in a week or so. Just waiting on the outfit to arrive from Target.com. I can't believe shoes can be sooooo small! Awwwww!

Thanks to the Beauty Blog Sale Directory, I was able to come across Kalila's blog and her sale of nail art stickers. These are the two that I purchased from her. I can't wait to use them! She has fast shipping too! Check out what she has: http://mrskalila.blogspot.com
got this for Mr. Man! Since the Lakers won the championships, I felt that he deserves to have his kid in Lakers garb. lol. *you see the expression on his face? that is what we call his pooping face. LOL. He makes that face everytime he needs to go poop and has been doing it since he was born. I wonder if he'll make that face as he grows older. HAHA, I think he looks so cute even though I know what it means!
So my baby is 6 weeks old now and he's just a tiny bundle of joy that is growing by the minute! But I have to admit sometimes I want to pull my hair out! Taking care of a baby is no easy job, that's for sure. The first week where he was sleeping all the time is not what's happening now!! It gets hard to get things done because when he's awake he wants attention.
As of now, I'm getting about 4-5 hours of broken sleep ever since he was born so I'm losing sleep by the day and it's making me very very tired. Babies cry, yes I do know that, but sometimes I want to pull my hair out because everything I do won't make him stop crying. Sometimes I doubt my mothering skills! Not good to think about.
Then after awhile or when he's calm I look at his face and I'm relaxed again. I mean he makes me so happy!
Luckily, Mr. Man knows that I need to get out of the house every once in awhile even if it means to just run errands so he helps me by watching the baby while I go out and do what I have to do.
And when I go out, I try to treat myself to mani/pedi, a drink from Starbucks or even window shopping at the mall. Of course I stay out no later than a couple of hours because I'll miss my baby terribly.
But I feel rejuvenated after I come back home and I'm ready to take him on again.
To all the new moms out there, you definitely need to get out every once in awhile. Keep yourself sane. If you don't have a significant other to watch the baby, then ask a friend or family member to help you out.
You will be doing yourself some good and most importantly your baby some good. I for one know first hand what exhaustion and irritability can do to you when it comes to taking care of newborns.

I always see those lovely jewelry hangers but havent come around to buy one yet since I have a different rack.I will def pick 1 or 2 of those up in a few months when we move. Its so pretty!!!!
Have fun @ Imats this weekend and by the way, CUTE NAIL DECALS YOU GOT THERE!! lol ;D (thank you again and thank you for pimpin me out...;D )
I love the HK case for the ds. I have a bulky sky blue protective case that's falling apart and I swear your case is just to cute to not go to my local target and see if they have it. The <3 necklace is just fab! I'd buy that to if I wasn't allergic. The CG looks like a great smokey black color, really unique from what I've seen lately on other blogs. I remember how it was to be in a state of wanting to pull out my hair! That is why I refuse to have any more kids. lol! Everytime my mom comes over, I get out of the house to keep my sanity. I come home refreshed and ready to be an energizer bunny again! lol!
Nice hauls! So many things!
