{1} today i found my beloved febreeze fabric spray that i couldn't find for forever. have you ever been guilty of spraying your dirty clothes with it, just so you could wear them one more time before washing? i have. don't judge me and think i'm gross. i'm just resourceful.
{2} meet uncle jay. he keeps it real every monday morning by sarcastically reviewing the weekly news headlines. he banters both sides of the aisle and will have you rolling in expressive amusement. here's my favorite:
{3} i lose every. single. ounce. of my brain when pregnant. last night i made myself attempted to make myself a grilled cheese for dinner. after the 3rd attempt that resulted in a burned up mess, i said forget it. instead i settled for strawberries. no cooking involved.
{4} speaking of losing my brain, yesterday i discovered i had forgotten to flush the toilet on two occassions. kelly was working so i couldn't blame it on him. forgetting to flush is just nasty. this baby has devoured my brain. okay, no more self divulging, embarrassment at my expense.
{5} in my recent etsy voyage, i discovered some striking goodness that goes by pomlove. wouldn't these be perfect for a wedding, a bridal shower, a baby shower, or a baby girl's nursery?

i love mondays because of this list!!
pregnancy brain. oh man...i'm so victim of that as well. it's so awful. but it's also so nice to know i'm not the only victim!!
strawberries are probably healthier than grilled cheese anyways.
do you also just throw your clothes in the dryer to 'un-wrinkle' them, instead of ironing?! i do!! :0)
I remember pregnancy brain...I think. My husband makes the BEST grilled cheese. And yes, I have done that with Febreeze...there, I said it!
Ha! I love the pregnancy brain. I use to leave the oven on all the time!!! Oh, I love the poms they would look adorable in a babies room. My very talented cousin makes these all the time! I hope you have a great Monday!
love those pink pompoms!! so fun. and for a minute i really thought that was your uncle...but i had seen him before and was like omg small world! haha...i'm a dork. and i have fabreezed dirty clothes before. in my bible study the other night i confessed to the girls that my sweater was dirty and smelled like baby but i sprayed it so i'm good to go..haha. they all confessed they do the same!! so i suppose there is a whole group of us...hehe.
Hi Carissa! Great post today :) Thanks for sharing Uncle Jay's vlog, I'll have to start checking him out now :)
Oh I so understand the pregnancy brain stuff. There is no hope for me, I'm still recovering from the first one. Now, to join you in your incrimination...I forget to flush ALL the time. Not good.
And...Uncle Jay cracks me up. :P
Very funny stuff! I constantly tell people that I lost most of my brain when I delivered my babies... I can't call it pregnancy brain because I never got it back.
And as for the febreeze, I had just sprayed a pair of jeans before reading your post this morning! Our secret, k?
I forgot to flush the other day and I'm not even pregnant - lovely!
I've never done the febreeze thing, but I have put a pair of dirty pants in the dryer with a dryer sheet so I could wear them one more time:) Those pompoms are adorable!
Oh how I love reading your Miscellany Monday posts (: Number 1 is probably my favorite & yes, I am guilty too!!
OH! The febreeze idea is a GOOD one. I'm going to have to try that. Er...I mean...lol. ^_^
And LOVE those bubblegum pomlove. :-)
Love & Blessings,

I love pomlove! I almost got some for my little girl's nursery, but then decided to go another route. I still have them in my favorite though...you never know when I might need some gorgeous pom poms!!!
you are too funny! I febreeze all the time!
and I swear I lose brain cells by the day since being a mom! ha ha!
oh well...
Happy monday!!
i always look forward to your miscellany mondays!! :))
Love love love it all. And i've messed up a grilled cheese before (and I like mine burnt, so it's hard to do) but it stinks because it seems like a such a long process to get it all ready again. Ha!
Grilled cheese rules - low and slow (heat), extra cheese, real butter. You can do it!
I'm not pregnant, and I lose my mind anyway! (In fact, I've been so forgetful lately, I even had to check.. Nope, not preggo, just crazy!) I forgot to write a whole paper... and I have never ever done that in my whole life!
:) At least you have an excuse!
I have pregnancy brain and I'm not pregnant LOL....
I have sooo done the fabric refresh trick....
I love those pink pom pom thingys would look presh in Sage's nursery....
Hope you have a fab day
xoxo
Summer :0)
Love your etsy find! How fun would those be at a shower or birthday party! And yes even in a nursery...too cute! :)
Love it! I have never used febreze for that but what a novel idea! ;) And I lose my brain too when I am pregnant... I am ridiculously clumsy on top of that. I'll have to check out that etsy shop, those are gorgeous
oh my goodness those pom poms are so cute!!
and i love febreeze. i could spray it everywhere every 5 mins and it sill couldn't be enough!!! haha. maybe i should really clean once in a while! the worst thing when making a grilled cheese is for it to burn!! better luck next time!
bahaha! girl you kill me on the fabric spray! I love your honesty because I do that too! Do you ever take them to your hubby to get a second opinion? My hubs is like, "seriously?" But you know the saying, pants never get dirty! haha
Those flower thingies are sooo pretty!! I need (well, may be I just want) them!! The grilled cheese story is too funny!! But strawberries are super yummy!!! : )
finally i understand socialism. i might have to start watching these videos every monday!
I love those poms too! My brother's getting married in the winter and his fiance and I are making white ones to look like snowballs.
Yikes, I'm a little scared of pregnancy brain!
i forgot to shampoo my hair in the shower and i'm not pregnant so i have nothing to blame it on!!
Don't worry, I've used Febreeze on dirty clothes, too. There have even occasions where I've just overloaded myself and my clothes with body spray.
I wouldn't recommend that though... Febreeze is much better.
My brain is still gone from having a baby 16 months ago!! I guess once it's gone, it's gone. You are not alone!
Are you hinting at something with the poms? I don't think I have enough time to get those for your shower! ;) they are super cute though!
My brain is still gone too......from both pregnancys!hah.,Thought i was alone on that one!!! looks like im not though;) Love the pink pom poms.........ive heard they are SUPER easy to make!!!And so precious!!!! Have a good day.join in on my motivational moanday sometime girlie!!!
xoxox
Those poms are so cute!! Perfect for a nursery or a little girls birthday party!! I love Etsy...it always sucks me in...I browse the shops for "hours!"
My mom used to always say "If you forget to flush, I will assume that also means you forgot to wash your hands"! I love the little poms
First of all, I, too, lost my brain while pregnant with Allie Claire. Sadly, I feel sure I left it at the Womens' Center after delivery.
I made pom-poms for a friends bridal shower and they are super easy to make and look great!
Haha! You are so cute. I actually HAVE been guilty of spraying my clothes with febreeze to where them again. On many occasions! I never thought of it as being resourceful, but I like it! Glad I'm not the only one that loses my brain when I'm preggo. My problem is I never fully recovered.
I don't miss pregnancy brain(or lack there of). LOL and way to use your rescources with the Lysol. There's just somethings you gotta do when your a mommy. I've never thought about that before, but it's a great idea. I generally go with perfume or body spray. But now my son is at an age where I end up as dirty as he is and there is no way to get away with wearing something twice without a wash.
I love this list. Too cute.
LOVE THIS POST!!
ohmygoodness! i had total baby brain with both of my girls!! i totally feel for you.
LOVE THE poms poms.
I've heard that about 'pregnancy brain'. Not looking forward to that--I am so organized and a perfectionist so that will drive me crazy! Hoping to get my tips from the marriage conference posted tonight : ) Hope you had a great weekend!
hi carissa!
your news guy is hilarious! loved his lemonade
stand analogy.
those babies leach all the gray matter, don't
they? but they're so worth it!
thank you for the sweet comments at my place
today.
blessings,
lea
Haha! I love #1. I actually have never used febreeze, but I have been known, on occasion, to rub deodorant directly on the inside of my shirt/dress if I had to wear it before laundry day. It's all good... :) And thanks for your warm wishes today!
Congrats on your pregnancy. Back in 2005, when I was very early in my pregnancy with my 3rd, what tipped me off that I may be pregnant, was when I went to the drive thru ATM and withdrew 200.00 and then left it in the machine and drove off! duh. So I know all about the pregnant mom brain thing! But luckily for us, your blogging hasn't suffered!
I laughed out loud. Seriously. It was hilarious.
Uncle Jay is hilarious, I'd never seen him until you pointed him out, thanks for the laugh! I'm sorry your brain has been muddled, but hey on the bright side strawberries are healthier?
haha, thanks for sharing your pregnancy craziness with us!
And those poms are too pretty!
BTW, I looove the verse on the left side of your blog! :) Hope you have a great week!
pomloves look SO cute! oh my goodness...this is embarassing..i'm not even pregnant and i forgot to flush today!! i can't even imagine how it's gonna be when i am one day...hah! :) hope yall had a great weekend!!
I love the pomloves.
As for the pregnancy brain, a friend of mine is a doctor (oncologist) and she read a research recently, and it said that after about 18/24 months after the baby is born, your brain will be back to normal.
I hate pregnancy brain. The bad thing is you never quite get it all pack after you have the baby! Love those poms so cute!
Pom poms are so cute! And from experience I can tell you that they are very nice at weddings. I helped my sister make hundreds of these for her wedding. It's actually really easy!
-Amy
I am obsessed with poms! I made like 15 for Raleigh's party and so should have made more! Also, you can make your own febrezze...Im obsessed! You just mix 1 part fabric softener to 4 parts water! That way you can pick your scent from all the fabric softener scents!
I am so glad that I am not the only one who burns grilled cheese sandwhiches..lol and I am not even pregnant!! Yes totally do the the febreeze thing too.. dang if we lived closer we would SO be good friends..lol. Have a great week dear!
I just know Ive said this to you before but, it deserves another time. I know we were just meant to be friends. You crack me up. I find myslef reading this & totally looking fwd to your next adventure... (hopefully in more attempts at cooking!)All in love !! You are so cute, and thank you for being real! Im jello brained right now, & not pg, so you are in good company!! :) LA!
Strawberries for dinner sounds pretty good to me!
You crack me up! I'm not pregnant but think I have a permanent case of pregnancy brain....
Forgetting to flush the toilet... dishes... oh wait... I forgot to do the dishes on purpose!
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog from Friday Follow. :)
Have a lovely day,
Bonnie
Dear, you always make me laugh! You're so real, you tell is how it is and you admit your shortcomings. That's why I love ya! As for flushing the toilet, don't feel bad, I'm not pregnant and I often forget... hey, life gets busy ;-) I know, gross!
Yes! The poms are super easy to make! I made some for a baby shower and had a few friends help so it would go faster, but all you do it accordion fold some tissue paper, trim the edges, secure the middle with wire and unfurl then hang. Super easy!
You crack me up!! At least we have an excuse for the mommy brain, right! I just wonder if it will ever come back... ahh, well, who needs to use all of their brain anyways. : )
Love the pom poms! They would look adorable in your little girl's room.
