Pinterest Monday & a Link Up!





 Happy Monday!

Not so happy for me... my computer went BACK to the doctor again today and is staying overnight ughhh
I am having to use Chris's old computer which doesn't have any of my fun stuff saved on it :(
But, I am trying to remain positive that she will be finally better tomorrow.

If not... I am saying screw it and going to the Apple store to buy a MAC ha ;) Merry Christmas to me. Early. 

I have a few Pinterest things... random at best again! That's what I love about Pinterest by the way!

Would you die to have this front porch? Obsessed. It's so southern and I love it!

Love those chairs on the right side of the room~ and everything else, but especially those chairs!

This room makes me happy :) 

Brace Yourself...

 Ok... #1 that looks like Frankie when he needs a haircut ha... but more like Lucy Belle, my friend Steph's sweet Yorkie girl. #2 is that the funniest thing you've seen? Precious. I love it!

This picture is 100% only here because it reminded me of our crazy cat friend (by crazy I mean good crazy of course ha!) ... Caroline! {I feel like you need this picture girlfriend, if you got like 2 more cats you would be able to DIY at home and I would come help you organize to take their pic hahahaha}

Love this Polyvore! I already have that JCrew tortoise shell bracelet, and the black cardigan, and a very similar scarf...so I think I could pull this together :) 

I want these major~ I am having such trouble finding cute boot socks! Must try to find some more!! 
Know anywhere that has cute ones??? 

How cute are these TOMS? Love them! 

Now for my inspirational corner LOL :)


This needs to be in a frame, on my desk! Love me some Tarjay!

Hahaha I've done this a time or two... So funny!


OK... Christmas Countdown... Mixmas is officially playing on 94.5FM if you are a local Lex friend .. Your're Welcome~ I know I get so excited once they start the 24/7 mixmas Christmas music :) Makes me happy. 
48 Days Until Christmas~~ Craziness!!

I stumbled upon this awesome, super fun idea over at Raven's Blog...
Here's the deats... 




How fun is that????

Go over and sign up! I can't wait to be a part of this :) You know I love me some Christmas Festivities!!

Oh, How Pinteresting Monday, Etc.

Good news and bad news...

Good News First ... this is my 100th Blog Post!!! :) Isn't that crazy? Can't believe how much this little fun bloggy has changed my life, literally. It has brought me new friends, been a way for family and friends who don't live here to know what's going on with us, given me an outlet and way to relax and do something fun that I enjoy, and more importantly, given me a way to freeze tons of memories and pictures and events for years to come! I just love it!

Thank you to everyone who follows, reads, stalks, lol and comments! :) I enjoy reading everyone's emails and comments so much! I will get better at replying I promise!

Sometimes when I think about the fact that I know people who more than likely read my blog, that I really don't want knowing ANYTHING about my personal life, I get a little weirded out and think maybe I should give it a rest for a while and not post as personal of stuff on here. But then I just think that really I will take it with a grain of salt, and as a compliment ;) Because I've grown to love this little blog ha. And she is here to stay!

Bad news... I am getting sick :( blah! I can just feel it. My throat is killing, cold chills, body aches, just pure yuckness. Thus said, this Pinterest post is SO random... so be prepared!



This is too funny! Hahaha made me laugh outloud!

How presh is this clipboard? Love it, think I could possibly make it, it said most supplies were from Hobby Lobby! :)

Are you dying at this pic? The pearls, the outfit, the heels, the hair, its all bananas. I die. Love her :)

I love this baby room... for all my little preggo lady friends that could be having a girl, pin this!! :)

This is hard to see, but its a Bible, that has been very used as you can see haha.
Mine is similar but not as used as this one (I am ashamed to admit) but it is literally falling apart and I recently found out you can take your Bible to Lifeway Christian Bookstore (prob any Christian bookstore, I just happened to go there) and you can mail off your Bible and they will re-bind and cover it with leather for like $60. Bad thing is it can take up to 6 weeks, but I am totally doing this! :)

If you saw this youtube video, then I don't care who you are, this is funny!

Ok is this for real???
Would love it if it were!

This is a great idea... wish notes for a wedding reception but ordered and then broken up into puzzle pieces that afterwards you can put together and frame it :) So creative!

I am obsessed with layering socks under your boots, over your jeans!
This website was about cutting off the arms of old sweaters and using as under boot socks!

Liking this color, may try it tomorrow when I get my nails done.. very Fall'ish
OPI Black Cherry Chutney

Now for my favorite inspiriational words of the week :)

Love this! :)

LOL very true ;)

 I loved this... I feel like my group of best girlfriends are so busy now, having their own families and lives, and not making actual quality girl time!! (you know who you are if you're reading this and my friend haha and I know I am prob the worst lately but just sayin') But reading this made me feel better when I was discouraged thinking about all the girlfriend time we use to have!
I just loved this.  

Lastly, little known fact about Moi... I am OBSESSED with stockings at Christmas!
They are by far my favorite part... I would rather open a stocking than a present, and I LOVE watching Chris, the kids, Frankie (yes DUH Frankie has a stocking) and everyone else pull stuff out of their stockings too. I just like being creative with them and filling them with really fun, unexpected things! This website is super cute for stocking stuffer ideas... if you're not a stocking stuffer type person, maybe this will give you some ideas...You're welcome! :) Ha.

I'm kind of over Halloween already and ready to move on to Christmas! Reading all of these got me in the mood! Can't wait to start pulling out all of the stuff and decorating.. and celebrate Jesus's brithday :)
(NOT intended to sound like Melissa Gorga from RHWNJ hahahahahaha)

Happy Monday!

Oh, How Pinteresting Monday & Weekend Recap

33 minutes left of this Monday and I am posting my Pinterest picks for the week, lol nothing like procrastinating a little bit :)

But first, I will give a quick recap of my weekend... well the most important things at least!

1. Chris took me to dinner on Saturday night to one of our favorite places, Bonefish, because I was totally craving some of these...

Bang Bang Shrimp! So Yum! (Sorry for the bad pic it was a little dark in there!)
If you have never been to Bonefish, or had the Bang Bang Shrimp... run there now! LOL you won't regret it I promise!

We had a little relax time and caught up on the DVR and Frankie was sooo lazy this weekend, I'm pretty sure he had a cold ha, but he was so asleep I was fixing his hair in all kinds of crazy ways and he never moved one single time haha I was dying!

Here is one of his do's :)
How funny is that? Bless his heart.

I discovered a new OPI color today :) "It's My Year" ... Kind of purple/sparkly. Love it!

Lastly, my favorite thing about the weekend! I got something new I have waiting a LOONNGGG time for... I have now joined the 21st century and I'll give you a hint of what it is ...


That's right friends... look who got an iPhone!!!! :) Annndddd not only an iPhone, but the brand new iPhone4s that is shiny and white ha! Thank the Lord for Chris who got up and was at the Sprint store on Friday at 4:45am to wait in line for us, and I slept in til about about 6:45am then went up there so he didn't have to be alone.. and lucky us he was fourth in line and they only got 5 WHITE ONES in! Can you believe that? I was so close to not getting one. But I am pumped about it!
But now I need your help... please comment me some good apps that yall like :) I am slacking in the app department! But aren't you proud I already know how to take a screen shot?? yay!

Ok... now for some obsessions of the week...


Remember how I told you I made a list of life goals at my Shaker Retreat? Well one of the things on that list was to go to Bora Bora, and today I saw this pic and it reaffirmed my goal LOL how beautiful??

One of the other goals I wrote down was to learn calligraphy which is something I have always wanted to do! And these cutsie envelopes made me want to learn even more!

If I could own and wear this outfit, head to toe, every day for the rest of my life I would be the happiest girl alive! :) How cute and stylish but comfy does this look? Absolutely love it!

How cute is this hair? Love it.

Speaking of hair... how cute is this? Not sure if it's a kids or not lol but I would totally wear it!!

Such a presh wreath!

I love apples and caramel dip... probably have it as a snack every day I'd say... and these little bites are so cute. I am thinking of doing them for a function I am having on Thursday, they can't be that hard!

Crockpot Ribs... yumm... click HERE FOR THE RECIPE. I will be trying this week. :)


TOMS with 1 Corinthians 13 on them... never seen these before?!?!

Love this. Love Steve Jobs. Period.

hahahaha love this!
hilarious. and true. ;)

That's it friends... Happy Monday!

Birthdays Galore & a Little Pinteresting Monday too :)

This past week/weekend I don't think I stopped for 5 minutes. I'm talking, no sleep, running around like a crazy person, working, falling asleep with my sunglasses on (no that is not a lie unfortunately ha)... But it was all worth it because all the birthday celebrations turned out amaze!!

For Chris's birthday celebration him and I went to Cincinnati and to dinner at our very favorite place!


We splurge once or twice a year for special occasions, and it is soooo worth it!

Chris & I eating his carrot cake they brought him! The staff their is so sweet, they came and took our picture and within 5 minutes brought back a Morton's birthday card for him with our picture in the middle, and everyone, including the chef, had signed it! How fun is that?

Probably mine and Chris's very favorite thing about Morton's is their bread! It is some sort of sweet onion bread I think... and it is literally heaven in your mouth. It's huge, and we crushed it ha. Great place w/ the best food ever... but you will leave feeling a little bloated more than likely, so don't say I didn't worn ya! ;)

We stayed the night and the view from our hotel was so pretty!


We woke up the next day and walked right over to Sak's (such a good sport letting me shop on this bday extravaganza ha!) where I was able to scoop up a new pair of my favorite flats... the New TB's with elastic...for anyone contemplating getting some, I find these MUCH more comfortable than the regular ones I have with the scrunchy back...


We shopped around for a bit then headed back because we both had to work :(
But it was a great little get-a-way and we had a lot of fun celebrating his bday!

The celebration however wasn't over yet, we still had to have a mini family get-together!
Which is where my favorite part occurs... the CAKE! I am always getting a crazy cool cake for every thing and party we do, but poor little Chris has never gotten one for his bday... so this year I decided we would have him one made and the kids came up with the best idea... an all about him cake! Which consisted of the things he likes to do ha! Genius!

The top had a little Chris with some tools and work stuff for his building/remodeling work... and a UK shirt and football/basketball for the CATS! :)


The right side had an awesome ocean picture with a boat and fishing rod because he loves going down to Florida and getting on his boat and fishing! They even did sand and everything.. it was awesome!


On the left side we did a hunting scene... deer, camo, hunting man ha, leaves, etc etc

They did an awesome job! Which I wouldn't have expected anything different, they are so great!

Cake time!
Everyone blew out the candle!
Confused Confections is just my absolute favorite cake place and I have said it before... and crazy enough I had to get 3 cakes from there last week LOL so I will share them all! But this one was so cute and tasted so yummy! 
Chris was so surprised and loved it :) Mission accomplished!

Next we had to get prepared for the Celebrity Style Birthday Post which I will do in a different posting because there are so many pics lol! It was a time to remember, let me tell you! So many dancing kids and cute outfits and loud DJ'ing music haha it was great!


Here are just some randoms for today :)

haha love this!

I am so obsessed with Fall boots this year, worse than last year, and these are all so cute!

Everyone knows I am obsessed with all things monogrammed... how cute of an idea is this for a shower? I died!

This is SOOO TRUE!
I feel an every day (almost) myself or someone I love is invited to an argument and I am over them! When I read this I just thought it was so true.. some people thrive on arguing and being miserable, and I am not a miserable person so don't understand that!
Next time someone wants to argue with you, you can tell them you're not attending ;)

I think this is the cutest idea ever and I am making them this week for Ella, Ava & Jake, already have the ribbon! I love how the clothes pins are glittery too! So cute! I'm sure we will be reminding, just because its pinned up doesn't mean you're getting it lol it's a "wish" list! ;)

 I am a little obsessed with chalkboard paint still and I think this is so cute for a wedding or party! Love the mason jars and the design is very chic!

(Speaking of chalkboard paint, take a look at my dining room table for Fall... so excited!)

Once the flowers die I have a cute arrangement to go there, just thought those were pretty!
Pretty cute huh?

I am usually a fan of whiter bathrooms, but I just thought this one was so pretty and I am obsessing over this shower!!!! And the arched ceilings! Just love it!

How cute is this to organize and display your jewelry?
I think its beautiful!

I think this is so cute, it's an anniversary or Christmas present idea!! <3

Lastly, this is SO me it is not even funny... I literally laughed outloud when I read it! 
So true... and maybe a little sad ha!
Can anyone else check every single one on the list like me? LOL

Hope you had a great Monday!!
XO~
