A lesson I learned from my mom…
my mom is the most selfless woman I know. She has always done everything in her power to do what’s best for my brother, sister and myself. She has definitely taught me how to be a giving mom, a loving mom and a selfless mom. She has taught me to always put my family first. She is incredible and I don’t know what I’d do without her.

To burn calories I…
chase my toddler! being a full time working mommy, I use every single minute off the clock at home with my brown eyed boy! So I have missed the gym a bit, but I do burn calories chasing him around the house, playground and up and down the stairs! What is it about stairs and a 14 month old? I love hearing his giggles while he climbs up and down!

And yes, he’s wearing no pants and Rangers slippers! Love him like this. 🙂
My best hair day was…
I’m guessing my wedding day. Of course, I got it done but she made it look so full and that’s exactly what I wanted with my big flower! Ahhh, takes me back. Oh happy day!

If you haven’t heard about the heartbreaking story of the most precious red headed boy named RYAN, please head over and read about it. This sweet little boy from the mama of Baby Boy Bakery was taken too soon. After running into the road after a frisbee he was hit and killed by a vehicle. No mother should ever have to endure the loss of a child. But we will always remember the sweet little ringlets of the coolest little guy by posting photos and remembering #RedBalloonsForRyan. You can search the hashtag or post red balloons for the sweet little boy and his family. So hug your baby a little tighter tonight, kiss their forehead and thank the good Lord for allowing you to keep him/ her with you on Earth.

Your wedding pic is too pretty and your son is too cute… I also like your carpet! (I notice things like that)
My dear Mandi what a sweet boy you have 🙂 I just want to eat those little legs!! I have a 3 1/2 mo old and I just love the chubby phase they go through. Can't get enough!! You were such a beautiful bride too!
I love the wedding picture. You were a gorgeous bride! And your dress is so fun!!!
Mandi, this is precious!!! I can understand why you're smitten with that brown-eyed boy, he's so handsome. The story of Ryan is so heartbreaking. When I learned of the tragedy last week, I think I squeezed and held Kamden 24.7 for days. These boys of ours are so wonderful and such a blessing, I cannot imagine the family's pain and loss. Your wedding photo and pic of you and your Mom are wonderful, she sounds a lot like the amazing woman I call MOM too. We're blessed!!!! xo, Nicole (co-host)
Toddlers are excellent "sources" of exercise! And yours is a cutie! 🙂
my best hair day comments on my wedding day too.. but not in a good way…
Let me tell you how adorable you look on your wedding day!? I LOVE that dress.
I can't even imagine what Ryan's family is going through. My thoughts have been filled with what if's lately and prayers for his family.
Your little boy is adorable!
Found my way over via the Finish This link up.
Your wedding pic is gorgeous! You look so fun and happy! LOVE
I just got so sad when I read about Ryan…. will definitely be praying. No family should ever have to go through that. <3
