What is something new you enjoyed this week?
I got some fun new things in the mail! I ordered some Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses (from my Spring Wish List) which arrived yesterday, and I am so excited about them! I’ve never had expensive sunglasses before, and I can feel a big difference between these and my cheap ones! Plus they look so cute! I am really anxious for the sun to come out so I can put them to good use! I also had ordered some cute new flats from Urbanog, which are a perfect color for spring! Aren’t they adorable?! (see below)

I had a meeting this week and my coworkers were sharing stories of pranks they had done over the years in the office! And oh my word! Some of them were quite elaborate! (Even … Read More »

This is a weekly wrap-up for week nine!

What is something new you enjoyed this week?
I got my Birchbox, (expect a post on Monday,) and I really enjoyed one product in particular! It’s a hair detangler, and oh.my.word. it smells incredible! I could smell it all day! SO GOOD! And I combined it with my Orofluido Elixer on my ends, and it was even BETTER! I’m not sure it works as a detangler, but that new product is worth it just for the smell!!! Yumm!!

So every week, Nathon and I have a Mandatory Movie Night, and we alternate who picks each week. This week was my turn, and so after much deliberation because I couldn’t come up with anything, I decided that we were going to watch The Breakfast Club! Nate had never seen it before … Read More »

So I haven’t done a house update in a while, simply because…..there wasn’t anything to update you on! We had literally still been waiting! We would go back to the neighborhood every week or so, and eventually they reached a halt because there was nothing more they could do until the plots got approved. So we continued to wait.

This year, I have two mothers! I get to celebrate both! :)

Nathon and I went over and spent time with our moms yesterday so we weren’t quite as rushed to get home. But today is Mother’s Day, so let’s give our moms some love!

My mom’s name is Sharon, and some say I look just like she did when she was my age. I think sometimes it’s hard to see that in yourself, and easier to see in others, but that could very well be true! My mom spent the majority of her life as a teacher! She actually was my 9th and 10th grade English teacher! (Some would be very fearful if their mom was their teacher and saw all of their friends, etc. But my mom gave me no reason to fear! She hardly ever called on me, even … Read More »

What is something new you enjoyed this week?

I made a new recipe this week for pulled pork sandwiches, and it was AMAZING! We bought a large piece of pork so I marinaded the entire thing overnight, but then cut it in half and slow cooked it. The other half went into the freezer, and we kinda wished we had made the whole thing because there were literally no leftovers. It was incredible! The fact that the meat had so much flavor from the marinade, and then we added the BBQ sauce, it was just so delicious! And it was incredibly tender. It was supposed to be cooked in the oven for 5-7 hours, but instead I did the crock pot and adjusted a few things, and viola! Amazing! Definetly adding to our rotation of dinners!

I also made guacamole for the … Read More »

Nathon and I have 3 pets, 2 of which are cats! Today, I would like to introduce you to our oldest cat, Mila! She is a Himalayan who is almost 2 years old. Nate gave her to me for my birthday the other year and I got to pick her out! She was seriously the cutest kitten! We picked her up at 8 weeks old. She fit in the palm of my hand!!!

What is something new you enjoyed this week?
I got a new iPhone finally! I had my iPhone 4 for over two years, and my amazing husby took me to get a new iPhone! I love how fast it is! I also got started with a coach at the gym for weight training! My first day was yesterday, and oh my word was it painful! (but in a good way!) We did a bunch of different things, working my calves, thighs, core, triceps, biceps, shoulders, back and pecs. Even a couple hours later I was absolutely feeling it! So now I will be working on those with the coach twice a week.

What made you laugh this week?
I know I laughed a lot this week, but can’t quite remember what about. I’m sure the cats made me laugh, I watched some of … Read More »

Some of you may know that my husby, Nathon, and I have a few pets. But you may not have gotten to meet them! So, I decided to introduce you to our little animals! So, today I would like to introduce you to our oldest, our one and only dog, Ozzy!

It’s time for the Weekly Wrap-Up!

It’s the last Thursday of the month, so it’s Throwback Thursday! This month is a picture of my sister and I sitting in a blue plastic bucket. What is funny about this is the fact that we were attempting to high-five each other…and completely missed. I don’t really remember what exactly we were doing in the bucket, but we were playing something as usual. To the right you can see our Cocker Spaniel named Sara Lee. We adopted her when some old ladies moved out of state and couldn’t take her with them. She loved tennis balls….well really any kind. She would even chase snowballs. I remember my parents hated that when there was snow, her paws would get matted with snow. It was as if she had snow socks on! Also, my mom made the blue quilt that we have … Read More »
