Saturday Morning Scene


Saturday Morning Scene

This morning I'm linking up with Loves of Life for Saturday Morning Scene! You should head over and link up too!


This morning I finished up this cake pop bouquet basket for a baby shower that I was hosting today.

Trey had fun hanging out with da-da during the day. They went and visited with a friend from out of town who we met up with later for dinner as well. And took Trey shopping for new clothes (all mom-approved)!!
Happy Weekend everyone!

{Almost} Wordless Wednesday.... A Day Late



It's only been a week since Trey started crawling and the exhaustion is already setting in.

THIS KID IS EVERYWHERE!

Here is what he thought about the pictures I tried to take for Easter cards. We will be going back for round two at some point. WITH Da-da. I need reinforcements.

Starbucks: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

GOOD: Let's start this off with some exciting news from the Starbucks blog: the Mocha Coconut frappuccinno is coming back this summer!! Whoo Hooo!! I actually tweeted the Starbucks people last summer about this as it used to be my FAVORITE drink (back before I got cheap and started drinking iced coffees). If you like coconut and chocolate you must go try one of these! It's a perfect Summer afternoon treat!


BAD: Monday morning I met up with Lis and she gave Trey this adorable little guy named Lenny the Lamb! A review is coming your way soon, moms - you are going to LOVE this!! I got a refill on my way out (don't judge, remember it was a Monday). And as I'm driving along I take a sip. BLEH. I ended up with a mouth full of coffee grinds.


No bueno.

Luckily, I mentioned it to the guy this morning and he was super apologetic and gave me a venti for free! I love good customer service!

And last, but definitely not least....

UGLY: So yesterday I met up with some of "Trey's friends" (How does an 8-month old have friends?) and their Mama's. It was basically monsooning here so we all rushed to get inside of a Starbucks by The Little Gym that we go to. Here we are: 4 moms, 4 babies under a year each, soaked with diaper bags, umbrella strollers, carriers. And guess what? No where to sit! This particular Starbucks has a pretty decent sized lounge area with basically two sofa type things. I see a man there with a laptop on his lap and a lady at the sofa next to him.

Here is my convo with the lady:

Me (aka Drenched Mama): Hi, I was just wondering how long y'all were going to be here?

Lady (aka B*tch Meanie): A LONG time. He's WORKING. (And gives me a *death* look)

Me: (Eeeek) Ok, sorry to bother you - we'll go somewhere else.

Lady: Eye roll

Guy working: What did she ask?

Lady: (Makes agitated cough-sound) She asked if we were leaving. (cough-sound)

Now, for those of you that have met me, I'm pretty sure you know that I said it super nice and wasn't trying to push them out. Be honest with me, was that rude of me to ask? Could she not have said - "oh I'm so sorry - we will be here a while working"? Am I wrong? Or do I just expect too much of strangers?

Regardless.... we picked up our stuff and headed somewhere else. Where everyone was nice and we had a great afternoon! Can't let the *haters* get you down!! :)

I hope to have my April goals and Trey's 8 month pictures up soon! It's been a crazy week at the Beach Bum household!! I will also be catching up on everyones blogs tonight! I feel like I've missed so much in two days!!

iPhone Photo Dump




Trey started drinking out of straws a few weeks ago. We have been ordering him tall ice waters at Starbucks and he gets so excited!



New Luna bar obsession. YUM!



The MIL ordered these Robot "boxers" and a matching hooded towel for Trey. I think they are ridiculously adorable!!



So in love with the Tory Burch bag! I take it everywhere now!!
Also so glad I finally tried out the EOS lip balms - they rock!



Got this Sue Devitt Oxygen mask deluxe sample a while ago. Not sure that it's "all that". Was hoping to notice a difference in my skin but after 3 applictions I still haven't noticed anything. Sad face.



Has anyone tried these Island Coconut k-cups? I haven't tried anything new in my Keurig in quite some time and I think I need something fresh to get me going in the morning. Y'all know how I love my coffee!!!

Trey Crawling!

I finally got an easily "upload-able" video of Trey crawling on my iPhone! I'm hoping to figure out iMovie this weekend so I can post the one from his first night of crawling!
