Weekend Randoms

We had a little blast of snow last week.  It was the fluffy stuff, not the ice like we had last time.  Not enough to build a snowman…but pretty 🙂  Nothing like my family is getting in Arkansas right now.  My Mom was skyping with us yesterday and her yard looked pretty deep.  My Grandma has been snowed in at her house for a while and was finally able to go get groceries thank the Lord!  D7K_4414

I’ve been working on my “bling bling” coffee cup for awhile.  It’s gigantic.  I’m not really going to drink coffee out of it y’all!  But it’s fun to put things in.D7K_4419

We got the kid’s birthday shirts in.  This year Connor and Ellie (his cousin the same age) are having a joint circus party.  Connor’s name was spelled wrong, but the Etsy seller is kindly re-making it 🙂  They turned out really cute though!

Every day I’ve been drinking Emergen-C.  Call me paranoid, but I don’t want to get any of that nasty that’s going around….and it seems like it’s everywhere!  D7K_4423

Saturday was my last day to work the Stock Show in Fort Worth.  It was a great year and we had really good weather.  Normally it’s crazy cold, but by the weekends it seemed to warm up.  I just love working with this big guy….D7K_4345

Bree (the buffalo’s Mama) brought me these amazing cupcakes last weekend.  OMG….they were just heavenD7K_4366

This boy starts a new school today.  I’m actually transferring to a new location with my job and it’s a lot closer to my house.  I’m excited and it’s going to be a lot of fun!  So we found Connor a school closer to where I’ll be working.  I pray he adjusts well today and makes new friends.  He’s pretty good at that 😉  We had to say goodbye to all our ELC friends on Friday and it was so sad.  We love them & they took such good care of my baby!  I’ll post some pictures soon of his goodbye party.  All his friends made him cards and we gave hugs and had our goodbyes.  We’ll be back soon to visit though.  They’ll always be special to our family.

How was your weekend?  Have you been snowed in?

Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion Body Care

My skin has been incredibly dry this season. I’ve been itching all over and it’s embarrassing! A co-worker and I were talking the other day and saying how our hands were so dry that they looked like old, wrinkly hands. Not attractive at all. I recently tried Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion Body Care. I love Moroccan oil and I’ve used it on my hair, but never on my skin. If you’ve ever used Moroccan oil products you know that they usually aren’t cheap, I love how women everywhere have access to premium products infused with authentic Moroccan argan oil at a great price. D7K_4400

New Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion Body Care products are clinically proven to moisturize and have a light, luxurious fragrance infused with authentic Moroccan argan oil, a lightweight miracle oil known to be rich in nutrients and antioxidants. The easy to use body oil is my favorite. I can pop it in my purse and anytime I need a quick moisturizing I’m good to go! D7K_4403

You can see below how quickly and easily Suave Professionals® Moroccan Infusion Body Oil works on my hands:hands

Finding the Perfect Valentine #MC #OkayToCry

I participated in a Blogger Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting #MC for Cardstore.com. I received complimentary cards and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

Valentine’s Day is only a couple of weeks away.  It’s one of my favorite holidays because it’s the first official holiday Terence and I celebrated as a couple while dating.  I’ll remember that night forever.  Terence got me a few roses and a card along with some Godiva chocolate.  It was the sweetest gesture.  I love words of affirmation and I try to save all of our cards and love letters from over the years.  Looking back on them brings up so many memories in my mind.  One of the most heartfelt ways to tell those close to you that you love them is through a card.  Sometimes it’s easier to write how you feel than it is to say it.  What better way to express your love for someone than with a personalized card from Cardstore?

Each Valentine’s Day, Cardstore aims to give a gift or card with such sentimental value that is has the power to move our loved ones to tears. Have you ever brought your significant other to tears with a loving card?
This year, Cardstore reminds us that ‘It’s Okay To Cry’ and embrace the emotions and sentiment from our loved ones.Cardstore_Infographic

I’d love to share some of the cards I’ve made on Cardstore’s website.  The quality is above and beyond and the prices are AMAZING.  They just can’t be beat.  I’ve looked….

Here are the Valentine’s I made for Connor’s classroom this year:

A Valentine’s card for Nana & Poppy from all of us with our family drawing by Mrs. W:D7K_4395

And a Valentine for my sweetie with a picture of the two of us:D7K_4411

I was thrilled how they all turned out.  Cardstore also sent extra envelopes just in case 🙂  I’ve been an avid Cardstore fan since I found out they existed and I’ll continue to buy all my special cards from them.  They are so great to work with and I could go on and on…..but I won’t!  So check out Cardstore TODAY so you can get your loves some special Valentine’s cards- Hurry you must order before Feb. 6 to get it by Valentine’s day!

Finish This Link Up : Week 5

finishthis-small

1. I will never outgrow… calling my Mom & Dad “Mommy & Daddy”.  They’ll always be that to me 🙂

2. I splurge on…  Purses.  They always fit and they last forever!

3. My worst habit is… crunching ice.  I know it’s really bad for your teeth.  UGH.  But I’ve never had a cavity in my whole life so maybe it cleans them out some how? ha ha!

4. My passport represents… all the places I have been and hope to go in the future.  I love to see different people and cultures.  It’s so fascinating.  

5. My most ridiculous fear is… snakes.  I can’t even stand to look at pictures of them.  Is it crazy to think they can crawl up the toilet? 

6. My favorite thing to give is… Starbucks <3  It’s something I love to get & I know a lot of people love as well!

 Cheers! Happy HUMP day!

Bit by the Bynto Bug

D7K_4186

I’ve read about a lot of things you can do with Bynto lunch storage to make eating lunch fun for your kiddos.  It’s crazy how fun little shapes and stickers can make eating fun for a 3-year-old.  Actually, since I used this the first time he wants his lunch in it every time.  I received some fun goodies from Goodbyn and had so much fun playing around with making lunch!

Do you pack lunches for your kids?  If so how do you make it fun and what do they like to eat?
D7K_4189

I’m giving away one lunch set from Goodbyn to get you started on your Bynto journey!

Just answer this question?

HOW DO YOU MAKE LUNCH FUN FOR YOUR KIDS?
