Re: Random Monday *POLL*
1) What is your make-up/hair routine in the morning before work? I usually just throw some curl spray in it, scrunch it up and call it a day. On my bad days, I don't wash it and put it in a pony tail, which happens to be today!
2) Favorite kid's store? The Children's Place or Baby/Kids Gap
3) Coffee or tea? Neither!
4) Hobbies? Photography, spending time with my family
5) What does your child(s) do that makes you laugh hysterically? When they laugh it usually makes me laugh! I love their smiles!
6) Give us your best home organization tip! Really, I don't have any! I am so bad at this!
7) Name a "product" of any sort that you are loving right now! Goo Gone!
1) What is your make-up/hair routine in the morning before work?
Hair - really just let it air dry. It often ends up pulled back. Spend about 7 minutes on makeup. I mostly use foundation, concealer, powder, blush and mascara.
2) Favorite kid's store?
Honestly, huge yard sales. I hate spending the full amount on toys and clothes that only get used for a couple of months.
3) Coffee or tea?
Coffee.
4) Hobbies?
Sleep
I don't have a ton of free time right now, but before DS was born I loved just getting outside (running, hiking, canoeing) and cooking soup. I'm a big soup person and even made a batch of pumpkin soup the day I went into labor.
5) What does your child(s) do that makes you laugh hysterically?
Right now, he does what we call his "move" while laying down. It's kind of like Garth's schwing move from Wayne's World. Hysterical.
6) Give us your best home organization tip!
Invite people over from time to time. I've found that this is the only way we are motivated to clean up the house.
7) Name a "product" of any sort that you are loving right now!
I never spent money on makeup, but before I came back to work I treated myself to some clinique makeup. It seriously is so much better than the cheap stuff I used to use.
1) What is your make-up/hair routine in the morning before work?
Wash hair and put in ponytail. Put on tinted moisturizer and lip gloss. All while trying to keep kids from destroying the house/each other.
2) Favorite kid's store?
hmmm probably Old Navy.
3) Coffee or tea?
Coffee. Lots of coffee
4) Hobbies?
Reading (especially historical trashy romance novels aka The Other Boleyn Girl, etc)
5) What does your child(s) do that makes you laugh hysterically?
Alex imitates me and everything I say now...it's too cute. William farts and burps REALLY loudly. Like a frat boy.
6) Give us your best home organization tip!
Baskets collect toys quickly but look neat and tidy lined up on the fireplace or in the kids room.
7) Name a "product" of any sort that you are loving right now!
does chocolate count?
1) Either curl products or blowdry then flat iron. I then put on foundation, and put on my mascara at a stoplight.
2) I don't really shop at any because my MIL brings over an outfit about every other week.
3) Coffee for sure.
4) I need to get one.
5) Dance!
6) I really like my paper sorter on my kitchen counter. One space for coupons to be clipped or receipts, one space for checks, one space for bills that need paid. It keeps the clutter off my kitchen table, counters, and dining room table. I also like the hooks in my laundry room. It keeps our briefcases, coats, etc. from cluttering up other rooms.
7) I love my Aveda curl hair products.
1) What is your make-up/hair routine in the morning before work? shower, hair up in towel while i do my makeup, then blowdry my hair.
2) Favorite kid's store? local consignment shops
3) Coffee or tea? tea
4) Hobbies? volunteering, going to the dog park, playing with DS
5) What does your child(s) do that makes you laugh hysterically? His "booty dance" where he jumps around and smacks his booty.
6) Give us your best home organization tip! Get it done NOW - don't put it to the side to do later- b/c it will never get done- and will just pile up.
7) Name a "product" of any sort that you are loving right now! Ritas ice... my pregnancy craving
1) I do the full thing - hair and makeup. I've gotten the whole getting ready in the morning thing down to less than 20 minutes. I time myself and am working towards my personal best!
2) I don't. I go to a family swap meet sort of thing or craigslist. I'm a bargain hunter.
3) Coffee
4) Hobbies - cooking, walking/hiking, reading. I've been losing touch with my hobbies as of late.
5) Just about everything he does makes me laugh. The joys of being a working mom is that you have so much more patience and every little thing is pretty darn silly.
6) Tackle one room at a time. Find ways to delegate. I delagate to the housekeepers and nanny.
7) I don't have a product but my best tip right now is to check out a beauty school to get your hair done. I go to Paul Mitchell and not only is it cheap, they are trendy and up with the current cuts and ways to do things. I got a better $18 cut there than my $55 cut at the salon!
This made me LOL. This is sooooo me!!!!
2) Favorite kid's store? Janie and Jack
3) Coffee or tea? Coffee
4) Hobbies? Watching movies and tv, hanging with my hubby and baby. Pre-baby was a big gym rat and reader. I love going to the theater (musical theater).

6) Give us your best home organization tip! Get a cleaning lady. And a room/closet to store all toys in.
7) Name a "product" of any sort that you are loving right now! I love Cole Haan shoes. Most of them have Nike air in them and are so comfortable. I'm a big walker so comfort is key.

4) Hobbies? I love to travel, am getting a my first big-girl camera this week (Canon D90) and need to figure out how to use it.
5) What does your child(s) do that makes you laugh hysterically? They each have an old box that they love to sit in - right next to each other. Or when they act like squirrels and yell "Squeak, squeak" and then take a flying leap on to their Daddy.
6) Give us your best home organization tip! I use bins for the boys clothes - one for shirts, one for pants. Out of the dryer and in to the bin. No folding.
7) Name a "product" of any sort that you are loving right now! I LOVE blue painter's tape. I can stick anything on my walls - usually the boy's artwork - and it doesn't screw up the paint.
Speaking of painter's tape. I buy these posters for the boys all the time and tape them to the walls low so they can touch them. They are so cheap that if they yank them off, I can throw them away and order more. They are great and there are different posters for different ages:
