My M&M’s Ready for the Wedding! #MC
“I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Millennial Central for MY M&M’S. I received product samples to facilitate my review and to thank me for my participation.”
These two are getting hitched in less than a week and I couldn’t be more excited! I shared with you awhile back about how I ordered some custom M&M’s for the wedding. I was so thrilled with the result! You can read my original post HERE.
The M&M’s arrived in perfect condition. Nothing was melted and they were fresh and ready to serve!
If you have a party or event coming up I highly recommend using My M&M’s to create that perfect personal touch for your event. I will definitely share how these two lovebirds showcased their M&M’s at the wedding this weekend. And some wedding photos too 🙂
That Costs Lots of Dollars….
Teaching a kid the value of things is about like taking them to a public restroom without manhandling the toilet seat. My germ radar goes off the charts when we have to go to the potty in a public place….omg LYSOL! How do you even get your kids not to touch the toilet???
Anyway…
So last week I was going through some photos and Connor was standing next to me at the desk. He grabbed my 50 mm lens (of course I was paying no attention) and then BAM…he dropped it. I didn’t think anything of it until I tried to use it today and it wouldn’t focus. I then asked Terence to try it out and he couldn’t get it to either. Commence me telling him that Connor dropped it and a whole conversation of why I had all my camera gear laying out in the open anyway….blah blah blah.
Because I am lazy and constantly switching lenses and I didn’t want to put it in the bag…mmmmmmkay?
I was PISSED. I mean I know it was an accident, but seriously I didn’t want to spend the moolah on a lens right now. We headed to the camera store and after discussing it decided to just get the new version of the 50 mm 1.4 because it would be over half the cost just to send it off and replace it. Plus I wouldn’t have it for a couple of months.
So here we are trying to teach Connor the value of things. I know it was just an object to him and he didn’t mean it. Poor kid. But yes…it cost lots of dollars.
Live and learn child. Live and learn. I’m still trying every day.
Love you boo…..even though you broke my favorite lens. To the moon and back.
Five on Friday!
Hallelujah! It’s finally Friday….I have a week of vacation ahead….my twin sister is getting married next Saturday. Good times.
1. My hometown of Conway, AR has a Pineapple Whip stand. OMG. I crave it so badly when I’m here in Texas and it’s so refreshing on a hot day. They mix the flavors and every week have a different one like mango/pineapple, fruit punch/pineapple, or orange/pineapple. Soooooo good!
2. My favorite color is green. Not because of Starbucks….but ya know that doesn’t hurt. I got a new summer purse and am loving this bright shade of green. This is the Kate Spade Cobble Hill Minka bag.
3. I love Target. Especially because you can find fashions for under $10 bucks! I bought this orange stripe (orange is my 2nd favorite color) shirt for $9 bucks! Holla! Great for summa-summa-time!
4. I’m a picture-taking freak. I’m so glad I am though because I treasure every single one! I’m really enjoying doing photo sessions on the weekend too! If you live in DFW holler at me if you need any portraits taken mmmmmmkay?
Here is a recent favorite of my booger:
5. Also while paroozing Target the other day I found these adorable heart push pins. Why do I need these. I don’t….but Target bull’s-eye sways me in with all the vibrant colors and patterns…. it’s almost like I’m in a coma and suddenly shoving crap in my cart because it’s cute and I’ll need it eventually right? The brand is Yoobi and I’m sure you’ll notice the Yoobi isle if you visit Target soon.

Revolution Foods: The Perfect, Healthy Snack for your Kiddos #MC
“I participated in an Influencer Program on behalf of Mom Central for Revolution Foods. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for participating.”
As a busy, working Mom it’s sometimes hard for me to make sure my family is eating the healthiest options out there. I’m constantly battling with myself about what to put on our table that is filling and also healthy.
Connor loves to build things like any young boy does! I went grocery shopping last weekend and picked up a few meal kids from Revolution Foods. 
Revolution Foods was founded by two moms that ignited a healthy food movement in schools nationwide, now offers Revolution Foods Meal Kits, a convenient way for kids to eat meals made with natural, high quality ingredients and no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives (that your kids will actually enjoy!)
I picked up the Ham and Cheddar Meal Kit, Turkey and Cheddar Meal Kit, & Cheese Pizza Meal Kit.
Connor often snacks after school and I love that Revolution Foods kids have no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. Also, each meal kit contains at least 7 grams of whole grains and one serving of fruit.
Connor’s favorite thing about the snack was building his own “sandwiches”. He loves ham and cheese sandwiches so I knew he would enjoy the ham and cheese kit.
Revolution Foods Meal Kits are available at Safeway stores nationwide.
Right now you can get a Revolution Foods coupon for a discount on Revolution Foods Meal Kits HERE.
Favorites+ Working Mom Wardrobe Series
A lot of times I find something and I can’t wait to share with people. Tarte is no longer selling my favorite lipstick, LipSurgence in “Buff”. So where do I look for advice…fellow bloggers. I read about Kate from The Small Things Blog loved BITE lipstick. Of course I didn’t create my own. But I found a color that is pretty similar to what I wanted in a neutral lip color. This is the “Nude Almond”. What I love most about it is the taste/flavor. It’s not overpowering and it doesn’t taste like wax like a lot of lipsticks.
Another item I picked up was Formula X nail polish from Sephora. I really like this neutral lavender for spring. This is my second week wearing it and I’m getting chips, but the first week it held up pretty well.
In my Birchbox for May I received this BB Golden Glow crème. I have very fair skin and actually looks really good on me. It doesn’t give me a streaky fake tan look. Just a nice golden accent to my skin.
Another favorite item is this “Time to Get Stuff Done!” mug from Click & Blossom. I also ordered a really cute t-shirt but it’s way too small…if I can’t return it I may just give it away to one of y’all 🙂 It’s too small for my boobage! Darn.
So, I know there are a lot of fashion bloggers out there and I love seeing how they style things. Honestly, my style is pretty simple & because I work full-time I have to find things I can work into my every day life AND the work week. So I’d love to see how you style your work wardrobe.

Here’s my #workingwardrobe for today. Picture courtesy of Connor 🙂
