Weekend Wrap Up and Goings On

Well hey there

Last week, I took a breather of sorts. Laid low and worked on my game plan so Mimi sightings were scarce on the interwebs.

This past weekend was easy like Sunday morning. A kiddie birthday party, a trip to the Goodwill, some food on the grill and that was about as wild and crazy as it got over here.

I got a chance to catch up with a few awesome ladies that I went to college with at the birthday party. One of these beautiful young ladies is the National Press Secretary for the Democratic National Committee. #OBAMA2012…FAMU baby.

Now for some randomness…

Call me the Sgt. around these parts. I got that potty bootcamp jumping. Two weeks ago I sent out an APB on Twitter for tips on potty training and overwhelmingly people said they employed the bootcamp method. I was apprehensive…VERY. I decided to give it a try and wouldn’t you know this baby is pretty much potty trained. I put panties on her and we spent most of our time outdoors. She watered the concrete, the grass, her shoes, and her car..ick.

Should say Glitter and Go Pee Pee..That bleach commercial about the little boy using the potty and the look on the mother's face..yeah. that.

Two days later she started saying I pee pee on the pot and I would rush her to the pot and she would go. No more than one accident a day at this point.*blows horns* I’m not sure I’m ready to take her out without some reinforcement so I put some of those plastic panties over her regular ones but she will still tell me. Still in diapers at night. Need more detailed tips? Get at me.

Well that was long.

Next.

May 6-11 I will be in Miami taking a week long course to finally finish up my MBA program. I finished my coursework a year ago but I have to complete this class to get my degree and since I am on the hunt for an online teaching job I needed to get this done ASAP. I’m excited about my new possibilities and opportunities….~~and a week alone in Miami..on the beach.~~

Divinitee is doing well. THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of you who read this blog and have supported. OMG. Everytime I see one of your orders in the inbox I want to cry. You all have been so tremendously supportive, more so than people I know in real life. I can never say thank you enough but to let you know that if you need anything please let me help. If I can’t, I’ll try my best to find someone in my circle who can. Real talk.

I have been shopping..ALOT. At thrift and consignment stores of course. Hopefully I can get a video up sometime this week. I’ve gotten some pretty amazing stuff for very few coins. I’ll make y’all some believers.

I guess that’s enough.

How was your weekend. What’s good in your hood or ‘burb?

Weekend Wrap Up

Heeeeeeey!!

How are ya? Can you believe it is April already. Q1 completed. We’re moving right along.

My son is on spring break this week and to think that in a little over a month they will be out for the summer. *freaks out and runs in circles* what am I going to do with these children over the summer..another post for another day.

Anywho.

This weekend was kind of busy. I went out Wednesday night to a benefit for Atlanta Diaper Relief. It was hosted by Everywhere a local social media marketing firm. It was held at Nancy’s Buckhead where the food and Ciroc specialty drinks were flowing as we enjoyed a fun evening singing karaoke and collecting diapers for the diaper bank.

Of course my bloggy BFF Trina and I had to start the party off right with Poison by BBD. We did that.

From my understanding nearly 2K diapers were collected. Doing good and have a good time..yasssss!!

Yours Truly, Trina, Tiffany, Mary

Trina, Me, Eboni

Lisa and I

After that laid low until the weekend. Friday the new Toys R Us/ Babies R Us store opened in my neighborhood. I was super stoked when I saw that the characters from Yo Gabba Gabba would be there. Seeing that Addison loves them, I had the genius idea to take her down there to see them. Well she acted a darn fool and this was the best shot I could get of her with Foofah and Plex. You should’ve seen the horror on her face when Brobee reached out to touch her. She may be scarred for life. Just maybe.

Saturday morning after grocery shopping and a few other errands I went to a Stella and Dot party at the home of Mattie of Mattieologie. The party was hosted by Gina of Mommy Posh. So great meeting her in real life. Her NY accent was all of that…I digress. Stella and Dot has some awesome pieces.

Gina and I

After chatting for awhile, Lil Mama and I headed over to Fridays to have lunch with Eboni, Lexi, Tish and Trina.

Came back to the crib and relaxed for the rest of the weekend.

What’s crackin’ or should I say what cracked in your hood or burb this weekend?

Weekend Wrap Up

Hey!

How was your weekend?

The weather here minus the pollen was just beautiful. We were in the lower to mid 80’s the entire weekend. At times it was just down right hot.

This weekend was spent hanging with the family. Friday evening my little cousin who plays on a traveling baseball team was playing a tournament at a field not far from our house so we packed up the children and headed out to the game. It was a family affair, my brother and sister inlaw along with my nieces and nephew joined in the fun as well.

Saturday morning I got up early and headed down to Tifton, GA which is about 3 hours away to pick up my stepdaughter. The Mr. usually takes the trip but he was under the weather so I took one for the team and drove with a friend of mine and turned around and came right back. Tired.com when I got back but my son had a birthday party so I used the restroom and headed right back out the door.

Saturday evening between the drive and the pollen I had the most awful headache. AWFUL. Mr. took over and I went to sleep around 7.

Sunday, we headed back out to the baseball field to support my cousin and I ate the most delicious funnel cake #youcare and took some pictures. They even had fried Snicker bars and Oreos. I’ve never had one and couldn’t bring myself to buy any. Have you had any of the above. Are they good?

This weekend gave me a good idea of what our summer will be like. Busy and laid back…and yes that is possible.

What did you get into this weekend? How was the weather in your neck of the woods?

(Birthday) Weekend Wrap Up

Thank you everybody for all of the birthday wishes. I recieved them and I am sincerely thankful! Friday night I had all kinds of fun kicking it with the homies and then I woke up Saturday feeling like who done it and why.

I don’t think it was the alcohol because I only had two drinks. So that leaves the dinner I had at Cheesecake Factory or the Popeyes that I had earlier. I’m going to venture and say it was the Popeyes. I no longer eat fried foods, so mix that up with some a a a a a a alcohol and yeah.

Saturday, I’m pretty sure I was on my death bed. Crackers and Vernors was my diet. Woke up Sunday feeling like new money. Headed out to spend my birthday money and came home, cooked some dinner and watched that new show GCB. I think I am going to like that.

Enough talking, here are some pictures from the weekend.

We had dinner at Cheesecake Factory. Y’all know I love some Cheesecake Factory. Then we moved on to Frank Ski’s Restaurant and Lounge. The music was great and the crowd was chill. Was a bit more “club” than lounge for me but it was fine since it was my birthday any other time it may have been a bit too much.

I throw tres not deuces

I had a ball hanging out with the girls. Between all of us there is 16 children, we all needed to get out and have a great time and that’s what we did. I love my fab mamas.

I’m linking up with Glamamom For Monday Mingle and Color Blind for Thrifters Anonymous

I wore:

Dress: Forever 21 via Goodwill Socks: Marshalls Shoes: Steve Madden via Ross Belt: Goodwill

You know the drill…How was your weekend?
