Bacon! Bacon! Bacon!

D7K_1714If you’ve never heard of Petit Jean Bacon or meat products you are missing out my friends.  Most of you know that I am from Arkansas…and I grew up eating Petit Jean meats.  Petit Jean is close to my hometown of Conway, AR.  D7K_1711I was thrilled to find out they are the “official bacon for the Dallas Cowboys”.  I now live in the DFW area and it’s nice to have a little feeling of home with me here.  If you’ve never tried Petit Jean Bacon OMG is all I have to say.  It is the bomb diggidy and you must go out to Wal-Mart and getcha some!  It’s SOOOOOO much better than any other bacon out there….maybe I am a bit biased, but you won’t know until you’ve tried it.D7K_1710So last night for dinner I made one of our household favorites.  The ultimate BLT.  I fried up some Petit Jean Hickory Smoked Bacon…..D7K_1713Sizzle…sizzle…pop…pop!!!D7K_1716The only thing I wish I had to add was avacado….so YUM on BLTs.D7K_1720 Extra crispy bacon is how we like it in our houseD7K_1726 Okay now there it is…and if you aren’t hungry yet, then something is the matter with you!D7K_1730

Weekend Wrap-Up

We had a pretty chill weekend.  Terence and I have started watching a show called “The Killing” on Netflix.  My Mom recommended it.  It’s a really good mystery and crime drama.  Season 3 premiered last night and I am recording that on DVR. 

Saturday morning I woke up and went to a photo shoot for the Fort Worth Mom Blog’s new site.  I’m so excited to be a contributor to their website, all the girls were so nice.  If you haven’t checked it out you can find it HERE.

I’m hating my hair right now.  It’s so hard to remain patient and let it grow out.  It’s not growing out pretty either….UGH.  My sister gave me some stuff for my hair and I am LOVING it.  It’s called “It’s a 10 Miracle Leave in + Keratin” I can definitely tell a difference in my hair lately.

Speaking of hair…this little guy got his fro cut this weekend.  I told her to go easy.  I am a tad bit attached to those curls and I didn’t want them all chopped off!  395313_10152873625555125_1205967317_n

He just LOVES going to school and that makes my heart so happy.  He’s always talking about his friends and doing fun crafts….my baby boy is growing up!550336_10152772101545125_1117336640_n 248385_10152823418655125_2003389601_n

We also attended the wedding of Terence’s cousin Macy & her husband Matt….it was such a beautiful wedding!!!482577_10152870473140125_1857519835_n

My Birchbox left something to be desired….the Cargo blush came all crumbled up and was completely ruined.  They were nice enough to credit my account 100 points.  I was so disappointed though 🙁934070_10152817645090125_2131191375_n

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while you know that I’m a picture-taking crazy woman.  I have no shame when it comes to pictures, and I know years down the road I’ll never regret taking a single photo.  We live in a society today where picture-taking isn’t only done on special occasions, it’s done on a daily basis and shared with everyone.  Whether it be Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, or a blog…..pictures are a way of expressing who we are and sharing memories.Read More
