i found this challenge on "Story of my life" and i'm really excited about it! (the link is on my left sidebar, check it out!).

over the last few months, i've had a really hard time thinking of creative, meaningful posts.

i've had bloggers block and i'm kinda getting tired of it...

so i'm gonna join this challenge with the hopes that it gets me back to blogging better, and more often.

the info:

there are prompts every day.

one for each day of May.

i will try to do each one. i may have catch up days where i post two (or three) in one post.

i may skip one (although i'm going to try really really hard not to).

i will also continue to post things besides these prompts.

think about joining, this could be a ton of fun :)

Hi!

What an awesome weekend :)

The weather was BEAUTIFUL, summer is so close I can taste it!

Friday I babysat a friend's daughter and we played all day.
Friday night we painted our toe nails (he saw me and insisted...I obliged)

Saturday we went to the park, then headed down to Arvada to stay the night at Jeff's.

Today, we went shopping for new shoes/sandals for P, he had some friends over, and I cleaned...

currently his friend Bella and him are running around/dancing to Pandora.

This nice weather makes me sooo happy.

SO FREAKING HAPPY.

I can't wait until we're living in Denver (in a MONTH!!)

and we have our own fenced in yard to play in all day :)

Hope everyone had as good of a weekend as we did!

I want to bottle up those moments.

The ones where my boy is so loving and happy.

Those moments that bring a look to his face that makes me freeze,

those moments that I stop and truly see what he sees,

something so little, so obvious

but something so new and exciting to him.

If your kid likes bubbles as much as mine does,

you NEED to buy Fubbles!

Seriously, you do.

No mess, no spills, no bubbles all over your hands.

Best invention ever.

Target...$1.99.

All opinions are true and my own.*

Since winter seems to not want to go away,

we chose to enjoy it for {hopefully} the last time.

Porter had a blast with the neighbor kids,

and I almost died having to carry him back up the hill every time!

I just want to put this out there-

If you don't like what I post here, if it is hurtful or upsetting,
if it makes you unhappy or you don't agree with things,
nobody is forcing you to keep coming back (again and again and again).

This is MY blog. MY life. If you don't like it, I'm not sorry- OH WELL.

All I'm saying is this- I don't post particular things for any other reason besides it's MY life,
and this is where it's documented.
If it's not something that makes you happy,
then make the choice to not come here.

That's all.

Have a great day and be happy.

I wanted to tell you all about an app I found via Pinterest that is

SO amazing I think everyone should know about it!

First of all, the app is used to "replace" icons on your homescreen,

with more unique, cooler ones :)

I will try and explain how to use it in this post.

There are other things you can do that I'm not going to go over here,

but if you have any questions feel free to leave a comment and i'll try and help!

Introducing

CocoPPa

This is how my homescreen now looks.

(as you can see i've changed some other things besides just the icons, using this jailbreak)

First, open CocoPPa.

On the main page, you'll scroll down until you get to a search bar.

For demonstration purposes, I searched "Facebook".

Depending on the app you're searching for, usually you'll get tons of options to choose from.

Tap one you like, and it'll take you to the below page.

I always tap the heart next to Like! because it'll add the icon to your list of icons you Like!

Here's your MyPage (I tapped on the MyPage icon at the bottom of the screen to get here).

Here you can manage the icons you like and so forth.

Here's a screenshot of the icons i've "liked".

So now i've tapped on the Facebook icon.

From here, tap "set up link".

It'll bring you here. Since this is an app (as opposed to an icon that is built into your phone, such as texts or phone or maps) I will tap "App Search".
