Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween Everyone! Yes I know I'm a day late but I wanted to wait to be able to post a picture of my daughter in her costume! Halloween is the one holiday which I really don't care for and honestly wouldn't be doing anything if it wasn't for my daughter. Now that my daughter is getting older we made sure to take her trick or treating, we weren't sure how long she would actually be able to stay out. But it ended up turning out great! We trick or treated for about an hour and an half.

At first the weather was acting up, rainy and windy but after about 10 minutes it stopped to where it was only drizzling. I was surprised it wasn't really cold at all, I thought it would be! Of course we couldn't do trick or treating for over an hour with a two year old without a stroller! It was a work out for mommy and daddy with having to keep taking her in and out of the stroller and carrying her up and down steps! Lol

It's kind of hard to tell what my daughter was dressed up as in the photos but she was a purple daisy! I was so proud of her for trying to say trick or treat and she would say thank you clear as day! By the end of trick or treating she was about to fall asleep in her stroller! She was probably confused as to what we were doing! Lol!

Afterwards as mommy and daddy were going through what she got, we found some different treats we thought was neat especially for a two year old. She had about 3 pouches of fruit snacks, a granola bar, and a bag of popcorn (the kind you put in your microwave, not already popped) that we thought were good ideas and not completely horrible for her compared to chocolate. Of course she wanted something since she would see the candy and especially knows what Reeses wrappers look like! So we just gave her a pouch of the fruit snacks and she was fine with that. She still thought she got something special and we were able to avoid her getting a sugar high!

What did your kiddos dress up as?

Did you find any neat or unusual treats in their trick or treat bag?

Behind The Name

Hi Everyone! I would like to take the time right now for my first blog post to introduce myself, my daughter and a little about my life. I am also going to talk about why I named the blog, AJ Love...

The above picture is of my daughter and I when she was about 6 months?? She is much older now! Anyways, my name is Kim, I am 21 years old and I stay at home with my daughter as well as work part time online! I am engaged to my daughter's father and we have been together for almost 4 years! We are thinking about getting married next year on our 4 year anniversary. It most likely won't be a big ceremony at all due to how expensive weddings can get even when you go cheap! As long as we get married :) Some things I enjoy doing are reading, baking, playing candy crush (yes I am also a candy crush addict!! Not really but it is fun!), etc. 

I can not wait to start sharing some of my favorite recipes with you all! And unlike a lot of recipes I see online it will actually consist of ingredients you can pronounce and find in stores! They also will not be completely complicated since I have "mom" proofed them! Meaning they are completely home made but not too complicated to the point a lot of moms won't have time to try them! I really do look forward to hearing your feedback on them! I am always looking to improve them or just know that they are actually good! Lol

And now introducing the reason I created this blog!.......

My beautiful daughter Amaya (pronounced with the May in the middle)!! My whole world! As you can see she is older now, she just turned two! Where has that baby gone??? Welcome to the toddler stage...where you need plenty of patience!! My daughter is a very active and loving little girl and I love her so much!  

So this brings me to the name of the blog, AJ Love. See my daughters first and middle name is Amaya Jane so for short I put AJ since she is the reason behind my blog! Then I put Love because my daughter's love has gotten me through so much and I really would not know what I would do without her!!

I would love to hear everyone's input on the name of the blog and/or suggestions! Like or dislike, I won't be offended! I would also love for any of my followers to introduce themselves as well! I am always looking for more mom friends! Thanks for reading....
