It's Halloween time!

So it's Halloween time! I love everything to do with the holidays but especially the decorations!! (And it helps that the weather won't be piping hot either.) My next thing I want to craft are these fabric pumpkins and some spooky blocks! They are so cute so with the help of my sister-in-law Leah I will be finding away to recreate these cute lil Halloween crafts. Craft night here I come!!
PS Its September 29th and I already have my Halloween decorations up! I told you I love Holidays :) Don't call the decoration police on me

Trendy and cute vs. Cute and reasonable

Ok so I need some real mom opinions here!! One of the only struggles I've had with becoming a mommy is I refuse to lose my style. Not that you have to lose your style in order to become a mommy but I want to be sure I don't when I do become a mommy. Kuddos to anyone that can make mommying look stylish! I grew up with fashion for most of my life and love everything fashion including accessories. With that said here is the question.

Do I choose a diaper bag that is still cute, really reasonable,and that can easily be wiped down inside and out, that comes with an adjustable strap that actually looks like a diaper bag? (pic below)




Or the Trendy bag I would use as a purse or a travel bag any day that is made of velvet and will need to be dry cleaned...? (pic below)

Yes I know most of you are rolling your eyes because this is such a small delima but this is what I do to pass the time before Baby Riley joins the fam LOL. Lets here any opinions you have about diaper bags. I want to here them all!! :)

Wonderful world of Disney

So those of you that don't know my family that well may be alittle worried by this post. But I assure you were are all pretty much sane. :) Most of the time... The Martineau Clan are big fans of Disney. Pretty much anything Disney but especially Disneyland. This year we took our annual sometimes bi-annual trip ( we love it that much) to Disneyland at the end of August. My loving mother and sister-in-law were a little worried as I would be 8 month pregnant when we went and wouldn't be able to ride a majority of the rides. Needless to say I was still up for it (only the weak would give up) and we all had a blast!

This is Shaun (my brother) and I by the traditional Indian Statue on Main street drinking our Pineapple floats from the Tiki lounge. We have pictures dating back to I think our first trip to the big D of us two standing next to this statue.

This is me eating... like I always do. Hey a pregnant girls gotta keep her energy level up somehow. I'm going to count this as my 30 week pic as well because as you can see baby Riley has taken over my body.
This is Nolan and I riding Toy Story Mania one of the coolest rides at the park as well as one of the only rides they would let me ride. I was really wanting to ride space mountain and splash mountain was going to tell the workers that I was just really fat but I don't think that would've have worked. Anyways, this is also a documentation of me whooping Noland at a video game like ride. Yes you heard me I won!! He then had to say at the end of the game " oh I think my gun wasn't working right" Hun just stop being a sore loser Hee Hee. That's ok I still love him :)

This is Nolan and I at the beach. It was a perfect day at the beach. Not too hot not too cold perfect. I got to live through Shaun and Leah while they boogie boarded. We also rented one of those big 8 seater carts and rode it around. It was hilarious because I think when they said 8 people they didn't put into account that Leah is the smallest one in our family. The next closest is a 5"11 pregnant women. LOL so we were crammed but it made it that much more funny.


At the end of the trip we went to the Story Teller Cafe in the California Adventure Hotel to celebrate my brothers 28th birthday. It was by far the best buffet I have ever been to and I can't wait to go back.. To the cafe or Disneyland!

All in all it was a fun filled trip!!! Thank you Nonners, Papa Dougart, Shaunicans, Leah Sopapia, Ryker boy and Mills for making this trip for Nolan and I so much fun!!!
