And last but not least, if you just mention my name to Hoopes Vision, you will get $1000 off lasik or PRK surgery!

1. After reading the reviews, they were the highest rated. I was NOT going to gamble with my eyesight!
2. If you don’t get 20/20 or 20/25 within 12 months of surgery, you get a full refund.
3. If at anytime in your lifetime it gets worse than 20/50, you get a corrective surgery for free. So cool, right?
4. They use a new laser machine that no other clinics in the West uses(because it’s very, very pricey) that makes for a more precise, faster-healing and overall a better surgery.
5. One of the best things I’ve ever done. Took 5 mins., completely pain free. It’s worth every single penny, I wish I got them done sooner, that is my only regret.

What I Bought Recently

November 15, 2018~ SHOP

I just bought a ton of things online and linked them here for you! I didn’t buy every item listed below, come on guys. I tried to mention the ones I did buy in the captions. But I bought a lot of them, but some are ones that I am debating to get or just things I thought were pretty, or other color options of the ones we bought, etc.

I really want a light pink and light blue coat and these are my favorites that I’ve found. It’s not a need and I definitely don’t need both colors but I love them!

I tried some of these and posted it on my IG stories, but some of these are on major sale like 70% off

Then I got some onesies and warm pants and long sleeves for my kids. We love the fleece lined leggings so much! And my daughter is obsessed with headbands and cat ears.

I got a Minted gift card from working with them for my IG stories and did you know they sell adorable cake stands, room decor, play tents, stools, aprons, cutest table runners, napkins and more? I love this store so much!

Family Photo Shoot/Christmas Cards 2018

November 15, 2018~ FAMILY, SHOP

Family photos can be so stressful, right? You want the moment to be the happiest moment for you and your family so that it can be captured in photos as part of family history and for us to treasure for years to come, but it is so dang stressful as you try really so hard to genuinely smile and look genuinely happy so you’re worried it looks like you’re fake smiling because you’re trying so hard, while trying to tell your kids and husband to give a real smile, to smile big, to look happy, to stop jumping up and down, to look at the photographer, while gritting your teeth closed and smiling and posing for the camera at the same time. Am I right or am I right?

If you want to read the most stressful and saddest family photo shoot we’ve ever had, click here to read it.

And after you see the photos, I will tell you why this photo shoot ended up being very stressful. Turns out, not thinking or worrying about it nor planning it one bit is not the way to go either.

Aiden jumped up in my arms right before the photo was being taken and then the girls decided to follow suit

Love my oldest daughter’s sense of humor. She makes me laugh everyday.

This girl is so sweet and creative. I know she will do great things in life and I’m so excited to see it!

And the photo that made it as our Holiday cards for this year is….

Do you like my final pick? I love all of the photos so much!

Here are what our Christmas cards look like this year.

(Simple, classic & elegant, I love this design SO much. Click here for the link to the design)

So let me tell you about why this photo shoot ended up being very stressful, despite me trying so hard not to have it be. Since I wanted it as least stressful as possible, I didn’t worry about it one bit. Seriously, not one bit. I didn’t even think about the photo shoot or pick outfits until the morning of the photo shoot. And our photo shoot was at 9 am! Jay had to leave earlier so I had him pick out the outfit he wanted to wear, then the girls picked out their outfits all on their own and then I did pick and dress my son’s outfit, which I do everyday.

I didn’t even realize we had the photos until the night before at 9 pm, so I told my husband then which took him by surprise and he had to maneuver his morning schedule around to accommodate the photo shoot. He did not appreciate me throwing this at him literally 12 hours before the shoot. But I honestly just forgot about the shoot!

By the time I remembered, my two younger kids were sleeping but my oldest was having a late night at a friend’s house and when I picked her up at 10:15 pm, I totally forgot to mention it to her and she went to bed around 10:45.

The morning of, I had to wake her up and she was so grumpy. She wanted to sleep in since she had a late night but she was not pleased when I told her she had to wake up, eat breakfast, get dressed and ready for photos in 30 mins. Oh boy, she was not happy. She gave me a lot of whining and fussing and then started crying and I finally lost it and yelled at her to stop whining and to just get ready, which made her cry more.

Then she called me Cruella de Vil. I looked at her and replied after a few seconds of silence, “I’ve never been called that before in my life.” And we both laughed. But her skin is so sensitive and reacts strongly to her cries so she had puffy eyes, red nose and red face the whole photo shoot. UGH.

We show up at the location and it wasn’t until 30 mins. after the photo shoot that I realized Jay was wearing slippers. He was wearing flip flops, guys. UGH. I pointed it to him and asked if he forgot to bring his other, nice shoes and he said, “No, these are the shoes I meant to wear to the photo shoot.” Eye roll.

And when we got the photos back, I looked at the photos and eye rolled my eyes harder as I looked at his slippers and his fake, half smile in every single photo. He didn’t even make an effort to open his eyes! So as I look at his squinty eyes(not because he’s part Asian, because he didn’t care and even try to open his eyes), fake, half smile, slippers and his loud, busy shirt that doesn’t match the rest of our subdued, classic outfits, I can’t help but smile. I have no desire to change Jay in any way and love him for everything that he is. His cheap slippers and all.
