Hospital Rooms and My Babies

 If you read my kandeej blog already you know I had to go to the hospital yesterday (if you didn't CLICK HERE to read it, if you wanna)...
Jordan was a great big brother....and he made me laugh.

 Elyse crawling on my little bed.

 Looking at JOrdan's phone.

Baby making faces while we waited... you can see a peek of my awesome hospital gown...fancy.

People always ask how I write my blogs, edit my videos and do everything else I do, while being a mom of 4 precious kids. Well, I pretty much write my blogs and edit my videos when everyone is asleep, that's why you'll see me post things at 1, 2, 3, or 4 in the morning. I edit everything myself, my videos, design my blog banners, try to reply to emails and answer questions on facebook, twitter, and where ever else...write this blog and my kandeej blog.
I just need to rest for a minute, is all.

 your comments and love you send, mean more to my heart than you know...

huge hugs, your kandee

PS. My heart and prayers go out to everyone who has a loved one in the hospital with something serious (unlike me)...I can only imagine how hard it is to have a baby or child in the hospital and how tiring that is on a mama and family....huge prayers to everyone dealing with a sick or injured love one!

awww man....

I love these almond cookies.
Last night Chinese food was our dinner of choice.
And when I saw they had these almond cookies on the dessert tray....I was like, "awwwwwwyeah!"

They used to sell these at the 99 cent store.....oh man, the Twin Dragon Almond Cookies.....
If you want to try a delight this weekend....find some of these and taste the deliciousness!

Anyone have any big dining plans this weekend or gonna cook up something yummy?!?

Oh speaking of yummy, I still need to finish editing my "chocolate cake" recipe video?!

oh boy, now I'm craving that cake...I'm gonna go make one of my smoothies before I just want to eat cake all day....

ahhhhhhhhhh-lmond cookies, kandee

Dressed to Impress

I have a dress form in my room.
Alani asked if she could decorate "her" (the dress form)...to which I replied, "ofcourse!"
This is what she surprised me with....
complete with: "now close your eyes....don't look!"....
and then...."BEAUTIFUL! It looks amazing!"....
Alani asked me very quietly, "Are you gonna keep it that way?"
"Ofcourse I am!"....
And last night as I walked into my room in the "semi-dark"...my "dressed-dress form" gave me a mini-heart attack because it really looked like a person.

DRESS FORM OUTFIT OF THE DAY:
my checkered hat
a tiara
3 scarves
The leopard print belt from my bathrobe
An old white "vintage-looking" necklace I got years ago at Forever21
And my "scarf-dress-thing" I got at the Melrose Trading Post
oh....and a pair of  pink glasses (that are not real, but just frames with the lenses popped out for fun, dress up, or I use them in my videos when I need to have that "glasses look")

every time I walk in my room I smile...
huge hugs from my room to yours...your kandee

Baby On The Loose!

 Last night we had to run to Target because after doing laundry all day....I was about to run out of Laundry Detergent...
Look at how Little Cupcake (AKA Elyse) was marching like a champion down the aisle!
this picture cracks me up!
She discovered a little plastic "sand-shovel" from the dollar store section when you first walk in...and then lead us in her triumphant walk!

This was Blake's outfit-of-the-day, which he picked out himself....we've got a Paul Frank, a little Mini Harajuku (from Target too) and a t-shirt that may be a Marshall's find...

We left target ready to wash more clothes....and we got more toilet paper, you can never have enough toilet paper...

and I still stood in shock when she gave me my total...

I read the receipt again, thinking she charged me 3 times for my one bottle of LAundry soap...but no, the cashier was right....

I just stared at my receipt, in shock of the price of toilet paper and laundry soap!

ha ha ha

We didn't even buy the purple shovel. It was just fun to march through the store with.

Purple shovels and laundry soap, kandee

Justin Bieber and Spring Break-ness.

Or as Blakey calls him, Justin Beaver.
Last night, after bathtime, Blakey told me he wanted his hair to look like "Justin Beaver's" hair......
This is, as, Justin Bieber as we could make his hair.
I still think it's funny that he even know who Justin Bieber is!

When he came out to show Alani...she quickly corrected him:
"Blake, it's not Justin BEAVER! It's Justin BEEE-BURRR."

EARLIER IN THE DAY:
Since the kids are on Spring Break...
We went to the park to eat our lunch feast of sandwiches...then to play.
Lil tiny, (AKA Elyse)...discovered her love for the baby swings at the park. She loved them and even got all "I-could-almost-fall-asleepy-eyed" in the swing:

 Checking out the other kids in the swings! It was very popular on the baby swings!

 "weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee......we're flying!"

And then I made perhaps the best homemade Macaroni and Cheese ever. I totally screwed up the recipe and didn't have the right ingredients- but it came out delicious! Gouda cheese is so "good-ah", everyone loved it! We put every kind of cheese we had in the fridge. Blake ended up eating all the cheese he grated for me, so we had to add more different kinds!

From our "Pop-star" living room to yours...have a "swingin'" good day,
Kandee and her little, Justin Bieber

Appliance Make-Overs: i heart polka dots!

This is perhaps one of the cutest, coolest, ideas I've ever seen for a washer and dryer make-over! Actually I've never even seen a washer and dryer make-over.
I saw this on Pinterest and had to find out who did this and how!

This is not my washing machine, although I really wish mine was polka dotted. I'm sure it would make doing laundry way more fun. 

I wish I had come up with something as cool as this with my own little brain...but alas, I suffer from feeling "very-not-as-creative-as-everyone-else-on-pinterest-with-their-amazing-pictures-and-craft-ideas-that-are-even-more-amazing-than-their-already-amazing-photographs".... but, I can tell you who did this awesome project, the super sweet and very-good-at-stenciling, Abbie, of 5 Days 5 Ways!

CLICK RIGHT HEE-YAH to go to Abbie's blog 5 Days 5 Ways...to get your laundry-washing-mind-blown...

Just look at this before:

boring old appliances in black and white....

AND AFTER: (insert oooooooooooh and ahhhhhh's)

I stinking love this idea! And if I didn't rent my house, as well as the washing machine that came along with the house, I would totally do this. Someday I dream of owning my own house and being able to paint striped, polka dots and zig zag patterns on the walls (or washing machines).

I know, are you dreaming of what your fridge would look like with a zig zag pattern now, or maybe a floral print, leopard or zebra "striped dryer"....ahhhhh dreaming of the day I own my own washing machine! ha ha ha
It's like "appliance make-up"! I love this so much. Go check out Abbie's blog and give her a big "hello" for me, with a nicey-pie comment!

I am not dreaming of yellow-polka dot bikinis, but I am dreaming of taking my freshly washed sheets out of a yellow polka dot washing machine...probably the only time I'll ever day dream about laundry, your kandee

Bad Decisions Are Made Late At Night

Bad decisions go down late and night

when I'm blogging sometimes.

This was one of them.

I thought maybe I'll get something to eat while I type my blog.

We hardly ever eat ice cream (I'm more of a cookie person, myself)...but I found this tub of Salted Caramel Ice Cream wrapped in a plastic bag (as you see here) buried in the freezer.

Score.

I didn't even bother getting a bowl.

Just me, the ice cream, my computer and a spoon.

As usual, late into the night as I'm typing or editing, baby wakes up. I go to feed her, get too tired and fall asleep, failing to remember my sweet frozen dessert sitting next to my computer.

In the morning I wake up to come post my blogs to facebook....and OH SNAP!
I made DIY Ice Cream Soup.

awwwwww man, kandee
