H.I.A.T.U.S

Soooo with a heavy heart I am going on a much needed blogging hiatus....

I love blogging but with the selling and buying of our homes I would love to be more private. I love my followers and I will  miss it greatly.  I will not stop my tweets though so if you soooo MUST  know the in's and out's of the CRAZY C's please follow me on twitter (thecrazycastros).....

XOXO

PEACE OUT until April friends!!!!!

Junie B Jones, vintage garage sale

Sooo today was story book character day at school. Mya wanted to be Junie B of course....I worked Wednesday and Thursday so I was dreading Thursday night~~you know the 8p.m. run to Hobby Lobby or Party City after work YIKES!!!Well in comes my sweet friend Dawn who helped me plan Mya's outfit. Her daughter Emily loves to make bows and Dawn said I had to go by Thursday night for some bows. So we did and Emily made the bow in 2 seconds HOOLA!!!!The only thing I bought was the crazy socks for $2 YAY!!

Mya wanted her hair straight for the day.  I did it half asleep this morning at 6 am. Then I got the call from my sweet friend Meredith and she told me about an awesome vintage garage sale that a lady at church was having today. The proceeds were for HOPE for HAITI's children. I could not resist and so we went. I found some cute vintage girl dresses Emmy loved for her dolls, a nice turkey platter and some cookie cutters. I was so happy with new treasures. Then we were off to lunch where all the kiddos played. It was an amazing day. Now the babes are with my MIL and Albert and I are determined to make this house look good for Sunday. Hope your weekend is AWESOME!!!!

 

Almost forgot my sweet friend W is picking me up this limited edition MAC GAGA 2 lip gloss. Can't wait thanks girl!!!

Third Day- Revelation

So this song is sooo touching to me. We are in the middle of making HUGE decisions. Decisions on when to move, what house (you guys know which one we WANT!!), what school to put our babes in next year and so many other decisions...We are letting GOD do all the driving. We are scared, excited, happy, nervous, sad and so many other emotions in between. I feel so torn leaving our sweet CCA and starting new somewhere else. I think I know what he wants us to do but sometimes these doubts haunt me. I ask for prayer sweet friends in our decision making and for a clear picture on where he wants us to be...
I do apologize for going on and on about this house hunting adventure but I figure if you read this (two of you that do) you care about these Crazy Castros. Hope your Tuesday is great and I WILL keep you posted.
XOXO 

Spring styles

Not that I am a fashion DIVA by no means, but here are some things I found that are super CUTE!!

This silver jacket can be worn with jeans or can be dressed up for a night out!!!!

This skirt is so neutral you can wear it with just about any top, just sayin'

I am a Big Buddha purse fan and this color is perfect for the spring. 

Hope you all are having an awesome weekend. I am working Saturday and Sunday but should be fun in the baby factory. Still praying for the house we are getting closer I promise!!!

All these cute things found on PIPERLIME's website!!!

Dotty (it's almost Easter)

Just found this picture of Scentsy warmer of the month for March. Jumpin' Jelly Bean's Dotty. It will be 10%off starting March 1st. This would be perfect for Easter or a baby shower gift just sayin'

XOXO

My name is Scentsy

Soooo girls on Tuesday I had the pleasure of attending my first ever Scentsy event. I drove with my sweet friend Danette (my director). It was held at the Woodlands Marriott.  She had her 8 week old baby girl with her and she was so great. This baby stayed awake most of the day and did not make a sound.  This is Carolyn (Scentsy mama). If you ever need Scentsy advice this is your girl. She is so sweet!!!!!

We got there at about 1:30 and were able to check out all the new warmers and scents.

These lovelies will be available for sale in March.

Beautiful warmers. Scentsy is such an awesome company to work for. Scentsy is donating half a million dollars to the Breast Cancer Association from all the sales of the special breast cancer warmer. HOOLA!!!

They were so informative and so much fun.

Yes we got our groove on!!!!!

sweet baby girl with her jeggings!!!!

We all came home with an awesome kit. Lots of new warmers and scents!!!!

Love my Scentsy life!!!!!

Amor!!!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day lovelies.

Today I was at work and had a great day. Ate lots of chocolate, and delivered a big baby girl...

who ironically had a severe heart condition. Her parents were so sweet and did not speak English. You know that feeling when it's all said and done you know it was a divine intervention that put you in that room with that patient, with that doctor and so on.....

YES it was one of those days almost a PERFECT one. BTW babe is doing just fine.

I have been wanting to make a cake or cupcakes but the time just flies.

I will do it this week!!!!I have everything I need just time would be nice.

Still waiting for that package from Neiman's.... yes it's still there poor Albert has not had a chance to go pick it up. Oh well, we have been a bit busy with the house hunting.

Have I told you guys how much I love my Albert. He is just like me but is so much more calmer than me. He knows what I want, when I want it and how!!!!!He is by far the best husband and daddy ever. I thought this picture said it all old couple with  flowers hanging out  in the city yup that's how I see us later in life.

XOXO

La Familia and church shoes

This weekend my hubby's family was visiting from out of town. It was sooo nice to see them and we had an awesome Mexican dinner at my in-laws favorite restaurant Las Rosas in Pearland.  We chatted and it was so much fun.

Ok so my sweet David has retired his Toy Story crocs for church and is now wearing his Converse. I don't know if this is appropriate church shoes but if it means no fighting with him on Sunday mornings ~~I'll take it.

They are mighty cute don't ya' think???

Have a great Sunday lovelies and please continue to pray for our home hunting adventure....It's looking good ya'll!!!

Snow in TEXAS???Well friends looks like we have a great chance of snow on Friday. My kiddos are over the top excited. I have one more day to work and then off for four or five. YAY me!!!

My mom called me this morning and asked if she could keep Mya home today since it was sooo cold outside. I (mother of the year) said sure!!Mom says they baked and cooked yummy food all day. These lovely Mexican cookies (pan de polvo) are sooo easy to make and are the lightest yet yummy things you can have. Please don't judge but my children had a class in Mexican culinary arts today. What a blessing to have my sweet parents keep and teach my babes.Working tomorrow and then enjoying some fun that MIGHT include SNOW!!!

HOLLA!!!
