Photos of a Little Meghan!

In honor of my birthday (can you guess how old I am?! If you know don't tell!) I thought I'd share some pictures of baby me! I clearly remember rocking the mullet for quite a few years, and also, those clothes should be a dead giveaway for the time I was just a young girl. 

1.// My grandma holding a baby me, my cousin Jared, and my cousin Sarah. 

2.// Me looking pretty adorable in those flannel pj's at Christmas! Dakota wore almost identical ones this past Christmas.

3.// Brother + sister, and random chocolate on my lip!

4.// Big blue eyes + curly hair, two things that did not carry on through to my adulthood.

5.// Jared and I, both rockin' mullets! He and I are only 11 months apart, (actually all of the 9 cousins are only a year or a little less apart in age) so we were always hanging out!

6.// Look at that awesome vest! My grandma used to make one for every season, holiday, and occasion. They even had little tags in the back to write our names. I remember I used to hate them at the time, but now I really wish I had them.

7.// I am so excited to be a big sister! The mullet of all mullets, one to rival even Billy Ray Cyrus himself! Also, look at that phone in the background...the antenna, haha.

8.// Me celebrating my 9th? maybe 10th birthday in Japan! I asked my mom to take me to McDonald's (don't judge) because it is SO much more yummy in Japan! She came and picked me up from school, and brought me back with balloons. It was one of my favorite birthdays ever!

Well I'm off to do "birthday girl" type things, like watch Amelie, paint my finger nails, put on a pretty dress, and eat Nutella. Happy Monday! XO.

5 Random Facts

Okay, so there has been this '5 random facts you may not know about me' going around on Instagram and I thought it would be fun if I shared some! No they aren't secrets, per say, but they are things you might not know. If you have an Instagram or blog, I pass this on for you to do too!

1. I am seriously, super duper, like omg, can I has? obsessed with pugs! I've wanted one for years and now that Dakota's a little older, I'm thinking it's the perfect time to get a puppy. If you were curious, I'd name a girl pug Isabella and call her Bella. If I had a boy I'd name him Kingston! You know I've got it bad if I've already picked out their names.....Help a girl out!
2. I detest milk, with a passion. I only remember once in my life trying to drink milk and it was in first grade. I haven't tried since then and I don't really have any plans to. *Thinks can change!* The only thing I can tolerate milk on/with is cereal, but only enough to actually get the cereal wet. 
3.  The first tattoo I got was for my grandma. I was 16 and my grandma died 7 months before. When my birthday rolled around, my mom surprised me with a trip to get a tattoo (what a cool mom!) and I chose to get one for her. It's an owl wearing glasses (she liked owls and wore glasses) and says ma'amaw underneath it. 
4. After having Dakota, the only thing I ate was fizzy skittles. This is so strange to me, but it's true. I've never really shared anything about Dakota's birth because I started this blog after she was a year old. But when I was in the hospital and even for a few weeks after she was born, I just couldn't stomach eating any real food. The only things I ate were the fizzy skittles and yogurt. And for everyone who brought me bags and bags of those per my request, you saved me! 
5. I almost always read the last page of a book first. I've read a lot of books in my life, but for some reason, I have such a hard time finishing them. No matter how much I love the book. I think it's because I don't want the story to end, I kind of get wrapped up in a book when I'm reading it. And so for years now, whenever I start a new book, I read the last page/pages first just in case I don't ever finish it. I'd feel awful if I never knew how a book ended.

Well, there you go! 5 completely random facts that I'm sure you didn't know! Maybe didn't want to know ;) Whats something I don't know about you?
