Santa Clause is comin' to town

Good Morning!

Today is a very special day for the wiles family. Our little girls get to go see Santa Clause! Abigail has been so very excited about Christmas this year, she's already received a video and phone call from Santa, so seeing him in person is going to be the most amazing thing for her.

Last year, we decided to go to Bass Pro Shop so get their pictures taken, for one it's free, and for another, they have a whole winter wonderland play area there for the kids.



This is my babies picture from last year. They actually went up to him with no issues and Abigail talked to him in her 2 1/2 year old language, lol. Now she's 3 and she can talk fairly clear and understand what people ask her, so this trip should be quite exciting, as she'll be able to converse with him. Sierinity is 2 years old and as well as she talks and understands, i don't think she's as happy to see Santa as her sister is. She has made it clear that she wants her presents already, since i caught her trying to open her presents early, lol. She's such a sweetheart, so she may surprise me when we get there and actually enjoy her visit with him.




It is so comforting seeing how much growing up my kids have done over the year. Sierinity is no longer my baby baby and Abigail, well, she's so much more mature than i ever thought a 3 year old could be. Some of my favorite conversations of the day are those with my girls.





These picture bring such a smile to my face as i think back to last years christmas morning. Abigail wasen't quite as intrigued with the idea of getting gifts as she is now, but she loved her beauty and the beast themed presents! lol, and my goodness, Sierinity was so small and absolutely adorable playing with her presents. It was her first Christmas ever and her face looks like she's thinkin, 'WOAH, i don't know what these toys are for....but i think i like it'.

I truly hope your Holidays are filled with love, hope, and family. The spirit is alive and present this year. I can see it in my babies smiles, I can smell it in the air, and I can feel it in my heart. I am truly blessed to have my family, health, and all of my friends.

Holiday Wishes, happy shopping, and Merry Christmas,
The Wiles Family

Happy Christmas!

Merry Christmas Charlie Brown!

I've been away from blogging for 5 months! I can't believe it, lol. I've been so very busy lately, it's crazy. Between kids, marriage, school, laundry, dishes, and plain laziness, i must have lost track of time. Well, It's almost that time of year. W

hat time you ask? Well Christmas! Jeremy and I (mostly me) have been eagerly planning and packing for the last month. Packing?! Yup, we're moving, yet again. This time, not a house like i planned, however, we're getting a very cute apartment in my hometown. I am so very excited....okay I lied, i'm NOT looking forward to it, and while we're being honest, we're about 3 weeks away from our move in date, and i have 2 full boxes packed...and they're tiny boxes, lol! I am throwing a crap load away though, so i am doing something.

I have so much I want to do this season with my girls, and little time to do it. Abigail is obsessed with the whole idea of christmas, it's insanely adorable. Sierinity, not so much, she just wants those presents. That booger butt even opened up one from u

nder the tree! I know, bad idea putting wrapped gifts in arms reach of a preschooler, but I thought it'd be a cute addition to our limited decorations. Last year, our girls were spoiled. I had such a high budget for them, that i ran out of ideas before I did money. I paid for it this year, 9 presents for each girls, half of which were from the dollar store, lol. We did get the girls each an electronic game system though, so that took up a big chunk of our budget. Next week, my little sugar plums get to visit the clause man! I am totally excited to see the looks on their faces. That dude holds a HUGE title in my girls' minds. Abigail has already informed her daddy that she is going to ask for barbie dolls. She wants 5! yup she coun

ted every little finger on one hand and said that's how many she wanted. Ya.....i have on barbie lying somewhere in my house legless, as we speak. I don't dig the barbie idea, but, i had a ton when i was little so who am i to spoil the wished of my innocent surgeon-like children. Another fun actitivity i'd love to bring the girls to is our local zoo lights display. I can just image it, my girls bundled up in their cute little fluffy coats sippin hot coa coa from their sippies and staring in amazement of all the pretty lights. I mean seriously, i took

them for a ride around a couple neighborhoods to look at lights the other night and they freaked, could you imagine over 1 million lights right up in their faces? lol, priceless....literally, i have a hook up ;)

As for me, I'm doing alright. I'm a survivor i tell ya. I recently had a cyst rupture on my ovary and had been drugged up on pain killers for the past week and a half, meaning i missed nearly a full week of school, i have to force my butt into the dr today to grab a note to excuse them all, and i feel as though i'm going to have back pain the rest of my life. I have this move coming up faster than i'd like and no energy or time to complete the tasks that go along with it. Other than that, i'm officially a salon floor student, meaning I work on clients 4 days a week which has been interesting, lol. I love doing hair, but seriously, if i could pick and choose my clients, i'd be a happier stylist. I get some horribly negative people in my chair that silently question my expertise, as well as some pretty vocal ones. I do get the occasional sweetheart that makes this job worth the stress. I'm seriously thinking about going the makeup route though. I've always loved it, but could never really call it a passion. Now hair, that was my passion; key word: was. That's not the case anymore. I like getting clients, but only for the tips, unless i know the person, or it's a color client. Cutting, eh, it's alright, nails, their fun, but skin care just kind of recently caught my interest, so we'll see how far i can take that before i lose interest.

Blah blah blah, me me me, that is NOT what this blog is about. The family update as of this week. My girls are getting huge, and TALKING, my goodness are they talking, lol. Jeremy's finished with his associates degree and graduating next week, and i'm holding on tight to this roller coaster ride....okay my hand are waving in the air like a crazy lunatic losing control, but....i got this :)


Family, love, hope, joy, and prayers,

Lets just say, this mommy don't give a fuuuuuu.....nny bone?

Okay, so for some crazy messed up reason, i have this thought inprinted on my brain that says, ' hey you, air your dirty laundry online for the whole world to see', well guess what, not happening. I wrote a HUGE blog post about bull-poopie that's been going on with my schedule, stress, sleep, school ect, but like my title says, I don't give a funny bone! lol That is MY business. I'm honestly sick of being looked at as a slacker for missing school, looked at as a bad parent because of this flopped up sleeping schedule my children are on, made out to be some money grubbing welfare survivor, when people honestly have NO clue who i even am! I haven't posted on this blog in quite some time, and half the reason is because i've had no time or no energy. This blog IS about our family and my kids, but hey, since i have it, why not get my thoughts, feelings, and points out in the open. My kids are my life. If people want to look at me in a bad way or choose to judge me based upon observations, then i honestly don't care to have them around me or apart of my life because they don't deserve to know the me inside of my home, which all of us moms know is different than our 'public' selves, lol. I really don't have much else to say.....just needed to rant :)

life, love, and funny bones,

The Wiles Family <3

Little girls' day out.....

Happy Monday all my lovely parents! I haven't blogged for a while, due to computer issues. I have a bunch to fill you in on though! Last friday, Sierinity started walking! She's 15 months, and started walking at the end of her 14 month, which yes, is late. Both my girl didn't master the walk until after 12 months, but I don't like to pressure them. They're so young, and if walking is the one thing they can choose to do by themselves at the moment, then i have no problem letting them decide when it'll happen. She's all over the place now, and absolutely loves that she can get places on her own.
Last night, I remembered a billboard I had seen on my way to school. Disney Princess on Ice is coming to town this weekend! We weren't able to bring the girls to the ren fest when it was in town, so I figured, well, lets bring Abigail to this show! I would LOVE to bring Sierinity but I know for a fact that she wouldn't be able to sit still during the whole show, lol. So my husband agreed and we will be taking Abigail to see all of her favorite princess' this Sunday, and she's sooooo excited <3.

My big girl LOVES her princess movies. I have been wanting to bring her to disneyland for a while now, but we agreed to wait until Sierinity was old enough to get excited too. This is an awesome alternative. Grandma can watch Sierinity for a few hours, and Abigail can

get her princess fix, lol. This little girl was up all night watching youtube videos of princess on ice and could not fall asleep, lol. The show actually looks pretty amazing. ALL the characters are a part of the show so Abigail will get to see all of her favorite people.

I am so excited to be able to do this with my little monkey. She's so very happy that she gets to go to this! She keeps repeating, 'Disney on Ice!' 'WOW' 'Cindee-ella'

Excitement, Fairy dust, and freezing arena's,

Some of my favorites....

As a mom, i'm sure you're out to look for the new cool things to buy your kids! I know I am. Earlier today I caught myself telling people I like to buy my kids 'name brand' clothing. What I should've said or explained better, to avoid sounding like a snob lol, was that I like to buy CERTAIN name brands, for the quality. I've found that with some brands, they don't hold up to a normal toddlers day. Walmart jeans' buttons pop off, Disney store footed jammies get holes in the feet. However, I love walmarts shirts and socks, as well as the disney stores ornaments and cups, so they both have their good and bad points. Here's a few places I LOVE to shop for my kids' clothes. I will also add some recent deals they have as of now, as an example as to why I shop at these places

The Childrens Place: These cute sandals are really good quality. I love their shoes! These babies are $3 right now, yup, i said it, lol. You can't even find sandals this inexpensive a walmart.

They also have a bunch of cute graphic shirts like this for $6 too! It's almost summer which means winter is over and your child might not fit in their clo

thes from last summer so stock up.

KOHLS: I haven't shopped here too much for my kids, but I have shopped for myself, and I do like the selection and prices of this place! Especially the coupons they give out, you can literally save hundreds of dollars by using them. These shirts are one of many different styles they have for sale right now. They have t-shirts, tank tops, and these halter for $7 or 2 for $13. This is actually a great deal. I mean, a lot of people think kohls is expensive because it is a department store, however, it's actually very cheap and they ALWAYS have sales.

RUFFLE BUTTS: I love this place! I got my daughter these exact bloomers but with her name embroidered on the back. They were on sale for about $20 I think, but these things are amazing, they're so comfy and not to mention, adorable! If you're not into spending that much on an outfit your child may not wear that often, they also have amazing deals on some semi-necessities

These babies will keep your little ones legs nice and warm but are thin enoughto be used as a sock alternative when your childs wearing sandals. These are only $9 and are very good quality. They are an online shop, so if you want to check them out visit Rufflebutts.com

I hope this helped you fashionista mama's out in the competitive world of child clothes shopping, lol. You can buy cute name brand clothes without paying the full bill, be smart! Check out the clearance racks first, and always try to find an 'outlet' center that sells some the same brands the department stores sell, such as ross, tj maxx, and even consignment shops! Good luck mama's I know you can do this, set out a budget of $20 and try to come home with at least 10 items, lets see if you can do it

Deals, name brands, and clearance racks,

Once the kids feel better.....

I'm still pretty tired, i mean i barely had any rest last night, lol. Still running on sweets and energy drinks, but so far i'm making it. My kids are feeling like themselves again, and i really hope they don't have a repeat of last night, tonight. So far so good! They both had baths and are nice, clean, and no longer smelling of stomach nasties. Although i've had very little sleep, I am so thankful to be their mommy! They make me so happy seeing them happy and feeling better. Since I haven't been able to get to bed till after 1 am, i'm thinking maybe me and the girls can possibly get on a really good schedule tonight. The only thing i'm afraid of is having an energy crash while at school tonight, lol, that would be horrible driving home that late and wanting to fall asleep. Let me tell you something a lot of amazing people have recently told me. You can worry about work/school all you want, but you NEED to remember, that family always comes first. If my kids continue to feel bad or i feel like i'm too exhausted to drive, as important getting your work done is, I will do the responsible thing and stay home. When you drive overly tired, you're not only risking your safety, but everybody elses as well. Well, since i'm gonna try to stay up for the rest of the day, i'm gonna do my family a favor and kick these germs out of my house, time for some deep cleaning

baths, health, and love,
The Wiles Family
