Where Did the Child Care Go??

In the past couple of years, I have transitioned from a stay at home mom to a full time job mom. I had a time finding a preschool for my then 3 year old because of course I had trust issues and limited amount to spend on child care. In my mind I was thinking I can't wait for Kindergarten (no more day care).

Well this year Kindergarten went into full effect and it has been NO walk in the park. Let me just say I wish I had looked into before and after school care from the get-go.

1) The small town she goes to school in has no after school programs but they are an amazing school and we love her teacher!

2) The Kindergarten and high schoolers get out at totally different times so having my 16 year step-sister (which is scary anyways) pick up my daughter is out of the question

3) My fiancé and I work 8-5 with no way possible to pick her up and I don't have any extended family to rely on.

My dad took sometime off from work and has been picking her up which I am soooo thankful for but my dad is so bad at giving me notice that he's going turkey hunting so here I am in the whirlwind of the child care hunt.

Being April there is of course nothing open as far as daycares go. I mean where are all these high school students jumping at the chance to make some easy money? My next step care.com which was a BUST you have to pay $39.00 a month just to use the site that doesn't include what some of the nannies request for pay. FYI: Some of these nannies ask for $25-30 an hour, maybe I chose the wrong career.

Overall I have to say I miss daycare, it was a simple 7-530 and a weekly payment. Now its holidays, spring breaks, and everything in between which will put you in a frantic frenzy to scrabble together a babysitter or suck it up and take your vacation day or whatever is left.

Well lesson learned-Get in (the big) line early for day care!!

Favorite New Purse Must-Have

So recently I ordered a few things from Sephora just because..it was my birthday! Yeah I honestly don't order much from places like such because I am majority of the time too broke.

But being a blog reader myself, I have heard so many wonderful things about Josie Maran and Tarte products. Since I have never personally owed any, I wasn't sure how I would like the products or how my skin would react to them so I went with the small value set of Tarte Bright by Night Discovery set and Josie Maran Spread the Argan Love set. I will definitely post more on each product soon but one product has stuck with me (more so in my purse).


The Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil is a super light cream but leaves your hands as soft as any liquid oil. I'm usually not much of a hand lotion person because I can't stand that greasy feeling afterwards but this does the trick for my hands especially since I sanitize a 100 times a die (not exaggerating). I do have to say I'm not a huge fan of the vanilla apricot smell but it's not too strong so I can deal.

Well Yello...

So my first post I decided should be more formal since I'm sure the rest of my posts will be full of randomness of things I love and my daily adventures.

So what's the point of this blog anyways? Well just to share my funny stories and share some of my random likes. Every once and a while I find an amazing piece of furniture or décor that I'm dying to share. Especially since my family and I just bought a house so I'm slowly working on putting it together. Also I love face, body, and makeup products of all sorts. I am by no means a beauty expert but I do like to find products for my imperfect face and body. So if I find a tip or product that I think is worth anything I'll be sure to let you know.

And last but not least I have a fiancé, a daughter, and 2 dogs so I'm sure there will be a few posts or random things around here of them at some point!

Thanks for reading!

Told you!! :)
