Birthday Banner & Fun Tools+ A Giveaway!

I finished the birthday banner…

We are having his party on St. Patricks day.  What a better day to have a “Starbucks” green party eh?


Everyone wear your green so you don’t get pinched!  I can’t believe in a few weeks my baby boo will be TWO!  I am having a breakdown….sigh.


I should have done the whole banner in the glitter paper that the #2 is in.  But at $2 a sheet that would have been to pricey.  So I printed out the green letters and added some glitter on top.  Do you think it still looks okay?

Hope ya’ll are having a good Friday!!!

My Favorite Things this Week

Favorite products of the week are:

1.  Smashbox eyeliner palette

Connor’s new sheets from Zulily that I got for less than $15 bucks! So cute!
They are from a company called Olive Kids

OMG ya’ll.  This drink works!  It’s called Urban Detox by Function and it literally is like a colon cleanse.  Next time I find these in the store I am stocking up because they are always sold out.  And bonus = it tastes awesome!

 And last, but not least, I give you the progression of a hungry child :

Hope ya’ll are having a fab day!!!

Phone Photo Dump

The other day I got Connor a sucker at the drugstore.  It was bunny teeth.  The thing was so big he could hardly fit it in his mouth, but he sure did enjoy it!

Lots of Starbucks this week…I am working late today.  I want to get “sort of” caught up before I leave on vacation….so excited and prepare for picture overload when we get back because you know I am snap happy 🙂

If you haven’t tried these gems you need to ASAP!  Bumpy Nerds have returned, but ever since I found this one bag I haven’t been able to find another one so news must be out that these bumpy babies are back in stock…..

Last weekend we went to REI.  Terence loves that store and they were having a major clearance going on their winter stuff.  We got Connor the blue vest on the left for less than $5 & the down filled vest on the right for around $13!  Score!  (Lets hope they fit next year too)

 I saw this ferris wheel for your Easter eggs at JoAnns the other day.  Is this not the cutest thing ever???

And last, but not least….my favorite tea ever!  Teavana makes the most awesome teas & they can also make you a tea in the store.  Hot or iced.  I got some sort of mango wellness tea and it was divine!  Definitely going back soon.

It’s a Party!

This weekend we celebrated Connor’s twin cousin’s birthday 🙂

He and Ellie were born 22 hours apart!  She celebrated her birthday a little bit early and we are doing Connor’s birthday a little bit late this year.  She’s such a sweetie and we are so blessed she and Connor get to spend every day together while I’m at work.  They love each other so much!

 On the see-saw with Granna

The rest of the weekend we spent cleaning the house, running errands, and we took Connor to the playground for awhile.  He loves the slide and swing!

Yesterday I did not get out of my jammies or put makeup on.  I just threw on shoes and a jacket to go to the park.  I fear this is what I might look like if I didn’t have to get dressed for work every day! Yikes!

 We visited our ducky friends
 These ducks had no fear…they just walked right up to you.  Kind of scary if you ask me!

Hope ya’ll had a good weekend too!

Birchbox Makeup Linkup

I’m linking up with all the gals who get Birchboxes every month.  I always wonder what everyone else gets!  Some months are good, some months are a fail.  LINK UP HERE.
But the majority of the time the box is always worth more than the $10 you pay for it :
What I got :

  • Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant®

    Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant®

    $50.00

  • Eye Rock Designer Liner

    Eye Rock Designer Liner

    $13.00

  • Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint

    Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint

    $38.00

  • My favorite thing this month was the beautyblender.  I just don’t see myself paying $25 for two makeup sponges though?

    I also subscribe to My Glam Bag…which is similar to Birchbox & it’s also $10 a month.
    I talked more about that HERE
    I love makeup.  And I love the fact that I can sample a lot of it before buying and play with it at a great price 🙂  Can’t wait to see what everyone else got!

    Mr Bunny Boy

    One of my best friends in Arkansas started a business making the cutest kids clothing.  She sent Connor this adorable bunny shirt!  Isn’t it the cutest thing ever??? Thank you Auntie Kristin!

    She’s also the nicest person you’ll ever meet!

    I decorate this one area of my counter as the seasons change.  I found this cute printable on Pinterest of course and it seemed right up my alley!  It has all the different kinds of coffees 🙂  Cute eh?

    How’s ya’lls weekend going? I am excited to have tomorrow off and another day to relax…but part of me wants to deep clean the house because I never have a chance to.  Connor and Terence are off to the store now getting supplies so hopefully we’ll knock this spring cleaning ordeal off the list!

    Have a great Sunday ya’ll!
    I’m going to go scrub floors now….eh….
