MckLinky First Ever Blog Hop!!

I hate to admit it, but I am addicted to blogging. I started this blog when my youngest daughter was born as a way to journal our lives. Now I have found it a place to meet others, grow and learn in my love of photography, and get advice from parents out there experiencing the same things I do. My blog title, Another Day in Paradise, is my life. Each day is the best day of the rest of my life. I have three beautiful daughters and a wonderful husband. Please follow me through this journey of life, love, and mishaps!!

Show Us Where you Live Friday

This week the featured room at Kelly's Korner is actually the outdoors. I don't think I am brave enough to show my messy garage but I do think I can show my landscaping. We did this project in May and we are very happy with how it turned out. Some of you have already seen this so it's nothing new, but for the others...enjoy my outdoors.

The backyard is fenced in and all we have is one tree which we planted when we did the front landscaping and a swingset that we put up a couple of weeks after moving in. The girls really like to run around and play on it.

Wordless Wednesday

Finally

For a couple of months, now we have been trying to get Aislynn to drink something other than just nursing. I didn't want to try bottles because she was already at the age to introduce sippy cups. So, I started with that. She would try it once, take a sip, and then just want to play with the cup the rest of the time. After trying different sippy cups for a while I decided to give her a bottle just to see if she would drink out of it. No luck!! I was starting to wonder what I was going to do since I am starting back to work in a couple of weeks. Then, we had a great idea. We knew that Aislynn could drink out of a straw because we give her sips of our water or tea at restaurants and she seems to do okay with that. So we went out on search for a sippy cup with a straw. We purchased a couple of different ones but I think we finally found a winner.
This morning with breakfast I gave her a cup of apple juice. Once she got the hang of it I could hardly get her to take a break to have a bite of oatmeal (which she loves). I am relieved to know that while I am away I won't have to worry about my baby girl getting dehydrated because she won't drink. Makes a mama happy to say the least. Did anyone else struggle with a situation similar to mine?

Not Me! Monday!

I know you know what time it is...it's Not Me! Monday! time!!! This lovely blog carnival was created by Mckmama at MyCharmingKids. She is gonna spice it up a little so I read. I think a new logo is going to come out soon!!! Can't wait to see. Head on over to see what everyone else is NOT doing this week.

This is gonna be a short one:

I did not stay up late on Friday night watching countless episodes of My First Place and Property Virgins on HGTV only to not want to yell at the people on TV because they were so clueless about buying a house. I do not get way too into those shows. I do not want to move all the time. I don't even like looking at houses. I did not drive around today looking at houses I can't afford and I did not try to come up with a way to buy a condo on the water to rent. No, I would never waste my valuable time with such silly ideas.

I did not buy a cute pettiskirt for my daughters to wear so I can dress them up like the little girls they are and take tons of pictures of them. They don't see me and automatically smile because they think I have the camera in my hand. I would never ignore work around the house so I can play around on the computer editing photos and learning tricks to be better. I am not that attached to a hobby. I do not have a million other things I should be doing.

I Heart Faces "Just for Fun"

This week at I Heart Faces the theme is "Wedding Bells". As you can tell, I do not have a wedding bells photo. I have not been to a wedding in a while and have not taken any photos of a wedding. So, needless to say I have no wedding photos.

I am glad they decided to have a "just for fun" category so I can still enter something this week. This category is not judged but it's still fun to throw a photo in and see what everyone else has to contribute. This photo is of my sweet Kambry Lynn last week. She can be so cute when she wants to be. I just loved this expression on her face.
