Yochi Yochi Shoes!

Ok, so I just got confirmation yesterday and I am so excited to be getting a pair of the ADORABLE Yochi Yochi Shoes for my little Kiwi!
They are sending me a pair of the super mega cute Princess Sakura Shoes!

The shoes squeak, but have an option to TURN OFF the squeak! Unheard of, I know!
Anywho, I should be getting the pair shortly and I can't wait to let Kiwi wear them and squeak her little heart out. Hopefully this will help her stop wanting to take her shoes off and go barefoot everywhere.

If you want to order a pair or check out the website, go to Yochi Yochi Shoes!

Music Class

Today, I took Kira to a Kindermusik class! I had no idea what to expect, but we had fun!

The instructor (Ms. Tabby) was nice and the kids there were adorably cute and friendly! At first Kira was kind of shy since she didn't know anyone there or even where I took her, but after a couple of songs and after watching the other kids dance and play around, she enjoyed herself!

She was a bit rough playing, but soon got the hang of it. On one of the songs, another little girl wanted to dance with Kira and quickly grabbed her hands and started swaying.

 It was so adorable and I know Kira had a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to more classes and getting a chance to perhaps meet other mom's and potentially make more play dates for Kira. As an extra bonus, it is literally within walking distance from our home, so we can walk to class!

Easter Sunday!

We had a GREAT Easter last night! It felt more like an Easter Weekend since we were celebrating from Friday to Sunday visiting all out family.
(We went and saw Papito, my dad, last weekend since he was in Japan for a week including Easter)

Kira and Landon did about 3 or 4 egg hunts all with different family members and even at a church! They got tons of candy, money, and confetti eggs and they had a blast!

First thing Devon and I did with the kids were dye some eggs. We bought some plastic decorating eggs and honestly, they STINKED! They didn't dye easily and stickers or markers wouldn't stick or show up on the eggs. We eventually went and bought some confetti eggs at Walmart.

Then on Saturday we went and did an egg hunt at our local church and Kira and Landon were in different age groups and both did awesome! From what I hear from Devon Kira was quite the egg hunter and got more eggs than some of the 3 years olds!

Later on Saturday, we went and visited Grandmama and my little brother Zane.
(He is 2 months older than Kira)
My mom had set up a pre mini Easter Egg hunt in the backyard and Landon, Kira and Zane loved it!

This little girl found the hidden eggs EVERYWHERE!

Not  the best smiles, but look at all the eggs they got!

On Sunday, we visited Grandmama again and had Easter brunch. Now that the little one's knew what Easter Egg hunting was all about, we had hidden the eggs a little better and set them kids loose! They got a lot of eggs, and LOVED the confetti eggs the most!

He got both babies with the confetti eggs!

Zane even got himself with an egg!

Afterwards, it was picture time!! 

 

 

 

After all that, the kids napped for a bit and then we were on our way to see Grammy and Grampy!
(Devon's Mom and Step-Dad)

There we ate some dinner, visited with the family, and then it was time for... ANOTHER EGG HUNT!
Grammy's backyard is much bigger and she hid the eggs a little too well. Devon and I had to help the kids find most of the eggs, but it was still fun!

After all the egg hunting, we once again took some pictures!

Kira and Daddy with Grampy and Grammy. Can you tell someone is tired?

Aww, she loves her Daddy!

By the end of it all, we had a blast. We got to visit all our family and even though we have to drive around and visit three, sometimes four different houses and share custody of Landon, it's all worth it.
We have a great little family. :D

Late Night...

Insomnia has struck once again! It's 12:49AM and I don't feel the least bit sleepy!
So I got productive. I washed all of Kiwi's sippy cups, made lunch for work for Devon tomorrow and am currently catching up on one a TV show that is a secret guilty pleasure of mine... Teen Mom!

Hopefully after this episode, I can take a quick shower and go to sleep! I have a busy day ahead of me tomorrow. I'm going to be working on a Ninja themed wipes case and tub using some fabric my father brought back from his trip to Japan!

I will of course post pictures once they are done!

Laters bloggers!

One Post To Start It All!

So I realize this post title is slightly nerdy/geeky, but that is fine by me as I am slightly nerdy and geeky!

This is my first post on my new shiny blog and I couldn't be happier! Any happier and I might start jumping for joy and wake my daughter from her nap. xD

Anywho, I would like to welcome all visitors to my blog. It may brand new, but it will soon be filled with awesome posts about motherhood, DIY crafts, my business, reviews on baby products, great smelling candles, and more tidbits from my everyday life.

If you haven't read my small info sections on the left and right of this blog, then let me give you a summary.

My name is Samara. I am 24 years old. I have been with my boyfriend for 3 years, and together we have a 18 month old daughter. She shall be referred to as Kiwi! I also inherited a 5 year old stepson who shall be known as Ryder! My life is pretty hectic as a stay at home mom/stay at home businesswoman, but I do my best to enjoy my life and will love having a blog to come talk about any adventures or misadventures I run into!  

Here are some pictures of our family!

Devon and I when we first started dating. We looked so young!

Kira and Landon during Christmas.

They both have the weirdest smiles, but I love them.

Even though I am a mom, I don't feel quite grown up. I am an adult and have adult responsibilities, believe you me, but I would like to think I'm young at heart. I enjoy movies, video games, and have a not so secret collection of Nightmare Before Christmas items in our garage. I love talking to people with similar interests as myself, so let me make you a list of some of the shows/video games/movies/random things I love!

Marvel Comics, DC, Zombies, Superntaural the TV Show, Bates Motel, Once Upon A Time, Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Pokemon, Nightmare Before Christmas, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Disney Movies, and essentially anything nerdy or geeky!

Whew, I hope this first entry gets a couple of followers my way as I would love to know that I'm not simply talking to myself but rather having someone who looks forward to my posts!
