Les Deux



Two babies means two of EVERYTHING...well almost everything! We have two of the same carseats two high chairs, two humidifiers, two cribs, and this week we developed two throat infections!! Sigh....

Danny was so upset when Sienna came down with a fever after Daniel had already been sick. I wasn't surprised...when one baby gets sick so does the other, it never fails! A couple of months ago we went through two stomach viruses and that experience has forever scarred me! I guess what doesn't break you only makes you stronger, right?

So this weekend we have been battling round the clock fevers and sore throats and Doc says it's viral so we have to let it work it's coarse...saddest thing ever! It's so horrible seeing your little babies sick and having to feel so helpless.

I usually let my friends know to remind me of these times when I talk about having a third! Ha! 
Love these two :) 


Do you have any tips on dealing with multiple sick children? 

P.S. the picture above was taken when we were celebrating my baby boy's first birthday at the beach!

My Fashionable Little Man



My little man was dressed to the nines for his first birthday party! It was a 'Little Man-Mustache Bash' at the park so the bow tie and fedora were a must! I actually just sewed the bow tie right on to the tank since the overprotective mommy in me didn't feel it would be safe to have to have it wrapped around his neck :)

We already had the shoes and while shopping for the tank I came across the MUST-HAVE suspenders with the rolled up shorts. You can bet he will be wearing these puppies all summer long!

I really can't wait to show him these pictures later in life and hear the, "Really mom?" lol

Daniel is wearing head to toe H&M except for the bow tie which I scooped up in the Target Dollar Spot!


Did you have any fun birthday outfits for your little one's special day?

Insta Weekend!!!





Hello blogosphere!!! I'm back and it feels great :) These past two weeks I was a busy mama bee planning my little man's first birthday party, executing it, more celebration with a mini beach vacation, and doing everything else in between! Now I just need to fully catch up on Bloglovin and then it will be gravy.

Here are some snippets of what's been going on...

Beachin' it on Easter!

\
I am so glad the beach weather is here! One thing us Floridians take advantage of is having the beach in our backyard so we were fortunate enough to head out to Fort De Soto Park on Easter Sunday. This was little Daniel's first time at the beach!

Of course he was scared of the sand...



But I know these kids are going to be beach bums if they are anything like their parents.
I LOVE the beach and can't wait for all of our vacations to come! 

Daniel turns ONE this week! We had a big mustache bash to celebrate this past weekend, but we are going to be continuing these festivities at the beach. This year has FLOWN by, but I guess time flies when you're having fun :) and busy with two babies...
Here are some more shots Easter Sunday...

Dough-lightfully Delicious!!






Last week I was able to have a much needed mommy's night out and take a sweet peek at the new Datz Dough gourmet bakery!


I was joined by my bestie, Vee, from One Social Brunette and we dined over doughnuts, gelato and bacon lattes! Yes, you read that correctly... a BACON latte :)


Anywho, when you walk into this place you feel like you are in a dream world. It's either because of the clouds painted on the ceiling or the rows of rainbow macarons staring me in the face...I'm not quite sure yet! 


They had the mural on the ceiling painted three times and it is perfection! With hot pink chandeliers and checkerboard floors who wouldn't want to just stay here all day? Once you get past the beauty of the place we can focus on the most important part...the dough of course!


The doughnuts are freshly baked in house and I had the most decadent Chocolate cake doughnut covered in chocolate ganache that I have ever eaten! As you can see Vee was so fortunate as to grab a Macadamia nut one! And what better to pair my doughnut with than a bacon latte? 

Are you ready for the skinny on the bacon latte? ha!


When I first laid eyes on this latte on the menu I thought, wow Datz has done it again! How could I not try it? So I went for it and it was divine! The bacon flavor was present but subtle enough to where the combination of maple syrup and the essence of bacon was flawless! Never had I expected it to be so amazing!

Here is me INDULGING in it...



We moved on over to the house churned gelato and I can only leave you with two words: peanut butter & Sriracha...ok so three words, but a must try! It doesn't even end there...they make over 300 loaves of bread weekly and have an amazing spread of assorted chocolates which you can see below...


This gem of a bakery is amazing and they have a whole menu that I have yet to explore! The best part of it all is that it's very close in proximity to my route that I take the kiddos jogging on in the heart of South Tampa, so I can already see myself stopping in for a treat after a grueling run! These kids are dough lovers just like their mother :)


Here is a pic of Vee & I before we left...can you spot the little piggy sugar bowls behind us?? 
Too cute!




Have you stopped in at Dough yet?
