This kid. He’s the love of my life. He is such a goofy kiddo. We are working on his listening ears and trying to help him learn the right things to say….but he gets so mad when I try and correct him! Like using “Her did that” instead of “She did that”. Context is probably a hard thing to learn.
Every day he runs straight to the iPad. I know he’s had a long day at school (where there is no TV) and just wants to check out for a moment just like I do. Is it bad that he wants to b-line to the iPad? I think he’ll be okay.
He’s still wetting his pants at nap time. I know it’s just a phase, but I feel SO bad for his teachers who have to clean up that mess every day. Bless their ever-loving heart.
He’s becoming quite the artist and learning to write his name really well. My favorite subject in school was art…maybe he’s taking after his Mama?
We have been playing with a fun new toy lately called a Go! Go! Smart Animals™ Tree House Hideaway Playset™. Connor has been playing with it non-stop since it arrived in the mail.

1. My daily hair routine consists of I only wash my hair every 2-3 days. When I don’t wash it I used a dry shampoo. I like the Batiste for Blondes brand. I also use Got 2B hair powder…it’s amazing stuff and gives you the “perfect poof”. I don’t use a certain brand of shampoo or conditioner, I usually just buy what’s on sale. My favorite hair spray is Kenra Finishing Spray. That’s about it for my hair! I usually just pull it up part way, I don’t like having my bangs in my face.
2. The best hair advice I’ve received Don’t over wash your hair, it causes breakage. Also, don’t brush it too much…that causes damage too.
3. My hair idol is
Julianne Hough. I love her hair short or long she always styles it great. I wish she didn’t chop it all off…but she seems to be growing it out nicely.
Invite your blogging friends and come back next Wednesday for another round of Finish This where we’ll answer another set of prompts!

Today is Connor’s first day of pre-k 4. Next year he will be off to Kindergarten….waaaaahhhhh!!!! The time has flown by so quickly. It seems like yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital.
This kid LOVES school and all his friends and teachers 🙂
I hope he always loves learning and making friends….we love you kiddo & don’t grow up too fast now!
I was making these for a friend so I thought I would share them with y’all anyway. I use Avery round 2 1/2 inch labelsto print my stickers on. Sometimes I use a scalloped hole punch as well around the edges.

I’m linking up with Kelly’s Kornertoday. It’s amazing how many couples have found each other through her blog and are now married and have kids! Just CRAZY!
Okay, I’ve put this guy up on here before and he’s FULLY aware he is on here again. He just hasn’t found his soul mate yet. Kyle has been Terence’s best friend since they were in pre-school. He was in our wedding 13 years ago and I am bound and determined to find the right gal for him.
Kyle is 33 years old. He IS employed and has a good job! He practically lives on the water and on his boat. If he had gills I think he would be a fish. Kyle is looking for a woman who is fun, likes the outdoors (especially the water), likes to try new things, laid back.
Basically he told me he’s looking for a tom boy who likes to have fun. Someone who is physically fit and enjoys a laid back life style. He’s not into girly girls who have a 50 pairs of red shoes or worry about their makeup constantly. He’s looking for someone who is easy to talk to, relaxed, and easy-going.
Kyle loves to travel, snorkel, and is very adventurous.
If you fit the bill then email me at beckylbranch@gmail.com and I’ll pass along your information. He’s in the DFW area, so if you live here then give me a shout!

A few weeks ago my co-worker told me about a fun company called Little Miss Matched. They have the cutest socks and accessories on their website. Most of the items are for little girls, but there are some fun things for boys and men too. Check out the deer socks for Dad.
I picked out the sprinkles socksand I just adore them, plus they smell YUMMY too! Connor is modeling a pair of camo socks.
Connor’s cool camo socks:
I’m so ready for fall y’all and fall calls for SOCK wearing!!! I am definitely going to be wearing the heck out of my sprinkle socks c/o.
Thank you Little Miss Matched for our new socks!
As a special treat I’m going to give away a pair to a reader to enjoy 🙂
WELCOME TO WEEK 33 OF FINISH THIS … your co-hosts are LISA (Coastlined), JEN (The Arizona Russums), BECKY (The Java Mama) and NICOLE (Three 31). The link up instructions are simple: answer the prompts in a post on your blog. Then, add the post to the collection list using the link below. Next week’s prompts are located at the bottom of this post.
1. I feel stupid when I don’t know what I am talking about. That happens sometimes or I make up words. I just brush it off like I knew what I was talking about all along!!! Ha ha! For realz. Legit. Cray Cray. MAJ!. Bootydoo. You know stuff like that…whatevs.
2. I hope I never Lose the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart. Nobody’s ever going to steal my joy sista! No matter what. I wake up day and it’s new and living each day with JOY is my goal. Focus on the positive not the negative. Nobody likes a Debbie Downer…we got too many of those folks in the world.
3. My one piece of advice to the world
Be authentic. Be who you are and own it. Money can’t buy happiness. Don’t worry about tomorrow, because it’s all in God’s hands anyway. Too many nights my head hits the pillow and that’s when my head start reeling with things to do or things I forgot to do.
Take a chill pill and just relax. (Easier said that done right?)
Have fun. Live each day for what it is….a blessing!
Happy Wednesday Lovelies 🙂
