This has been one of those weeks where I could have used some motivation!!! Every day I would tell my self that I was going to get all the things that I need to do done ..gym, laundry, errons, mani pedi that I so need... etc. I could go on all day!!
But, what I have done?? ... I managed to spend another $75 on Princess Eva at her fav store, Baby Gap, the second time this month!!
I seriously need help or she needs to pic a new favorite store!
Go figure!

Summer Trends
Everyone wants to be "IN", so I thought that I would fill you trendy gals in on what I've been seeing here in the big city!
Turquoise!!! It's everywhere!! On everything!! From the pedicure all the way to the eye liner! If you wanna be "IN" clearly ya gotta put your self out there a little.
But, surprisingly I like it!
For the hairdos, the messier, the sexier! Try just some leave in treatment and let it go! For something a little more put together do a side braid. Cute, flirty and fun! I'll post soon on my tricks to master this do!
Out to play or on the town, throw on a jumpsuit!! This is one of my favs!! You can seriously wear rompers with heels to sex it up or flats! This is a must have this season! I found some hot buys at Forever 21, Urban Outfitters and Papaya.

Terrible 1's
So, we have all heard of the "Terrible Two's", but for me, they have came a little early!!
Little Miss Eva, also known as The Little Monster, started strongly about a month ago. I get anything from a no, refusing to eat, to a full blown raging temper tantrum! I know, poor me! So, at first not knowing what to do with this child, I would simply ignore her. This clearly made everything worse! She would get even more mad and the fit would last even longer!
After about the millionth temper tantrum, I realized that I had to try something else or I was going to lose it!! So what did I do??
TIME OUT!! I know, crazy to think time out for a 14 month old but, i had to try something!
Here is what I did... When she started getting mad because she was not getting what she wanted, I would stop what I was doing, pick her up and put her in time out (on the couch, in her bed if she continued to not listen) come down to her level so we were eye to eye and calmly speak to her and explain why she couldn't have or do what she wanted then I would walk away. Every time she would get up, I would calmly put her back and tell her again, Ÿou can't do this and when your calm you can get up..."
It took about 30 times but finally she started getting the picture. Slowly the temper tantrums shortened and she knows that no means no.
It is important when doing this that you stay calm and stick with it. Other wise it is pointless and the child is more confused.
