Oh, How Pinteresting Mondays!

So I guess I have been under a rock for the last few weeks, months, however long you all have been into Pinterest without me!!!!! Thank goodness for my sweet friend Emily (not newly licensed assistant Emily, but a post coming soon about how hysterical she is though lol) who introduced me to Pinterest a while back, but I was on vaca that week with NO INTERNET (kill me now) so I am just now kind of getting into it!

So now, go figure... I am officially a Pinterest Addict!

Like there is something else I need to do at night to keep me from going to bed, besides my usual... checking/responding to emails, blogging, facebooking, twitter, my reality shows, catching up on Young & the Restless from the week, etc. Now I want to look at millions of awesome pictures and pin them to a "make believe board"! bahahaha. Oh well, I still love it!

With that said... I am starting this... :) 

I sort of copied this from sweet Katie over at Keep Calm and Carry On. which is one of my new fave blogs by the way! She does this on Wednesdays and I just love it now that I have become obsessed with Pinterest!

(although I did make that cute little logo above with the little blings in the background all by myself, PinkLouLou would be proud of my little bloggy making capabilities these days! LOL)

Quick tips for newbies... if you have not been on Pinterest, you need to do that NOW!

Go to http://www.pinterest.com/ and sign up! It's pretty easy, if I can do it you can too!

Second, you can go to the right of this page under my followers list, and click on the red rectangle

 "Follow Me on Pinterest" and you can see what I am "pinning on my boards" :)

Now for this Monday's edition of what I am LOVING on Pinterest....

With Fall right around the corner (yayyyy) I am loving these DIY pumpkins... can't wait to try!

Golden Pumpkins! Spray paint gold and paint decorations or polka dots on them!

Of course I'm loving these... monogrammed pumpkins! Too cute! Def trying this!

Love this whole look but OBSESSED with these boots! Must find!

Brace yourself....

Pretty sure this is Frankie's Halloween Costume this year!!! Available on Etsy and too cute! This pic looks just like him so I know he will be adorable!

Loved this. Everyone needs to read this... it never hurts to be a little nicer! 

Lastly, a girl can dream can't she...

How happy would you be to do your 7 loads of laundry if this were your laundry room?? Ahhh! So cute, and I would officially never complain about folding clothes again if this is what I got to look at while doing it! :)

What are you loving on Pinterest!? Leave me a link to your Pinterest account so I can follow you too!

Happy Monday!

One for the Guys...

This is officially a guy's post (sorry ladies, but you will prob laugh too!) lol

They showed this video at church this weekend... and I don't care who you are... this is funny!

Check out this prayer from a recent Nascar Race :)

(before you watch, scroll all the way to the bottom of this page and hit pause on my playlist)

 Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I love that! I think I love it so much because you just can't help but think of another prayer when you watch it...

Hope you laughed as hard as Chris and I did when we first saw it!Have a good week!

Arm Candy!

True Life: I am addicted to bracelets!

It's a bad addiction let me tell you. They don't have to be expensive bracelets though, which is good, just any cute and unique bracelet. And I also am addicted to wearing them all at one time. I always have them on the same arm, and a minimum of 5 usually ;)

People are always asking me where I get my bracelets... so I decided I would do a post of my arm candy that I am currently wearing and obsessed with right now! Just for fun!

So here ya go... My Arm Candy:

J.Crew is the BEST place to get cute bracelets from the sale bucket. Normal price they can be kind of high, but sometimes they will dump a bunch in a bucket next to the register and they are seriously probably between $5-$10! I am always on the hunt for cute ones so share with me where your fave places to purchase are too!

If you are skeptical of wearing a lot of bracelets on one arm, adding a bold watch always helps IMO and also they don't have to necessarily "match" ... that is the fun of it... just kind of mix and match and see what you can come up with! :)

Happy Tuesday!

Monogrammed Necklace

Thank you all so much for the sweet emails and comments and my FAVORITE new accessory...
My monogrammed necklace :)

It is so fun and cute... it's actually plastic on a gold chain... and they come in TONS of different colors... I chose the grey for my first one because I felt like that could be worn during all seasons and it kind of goes with everything.

I know this isn't a very good pic... but I think you can see it good enough to know it's pretty darn cute!  INR (in real life) it is about the size of a half dollar I think...

I ordered it from AJ's Casuals here in Lex... but for those of you who do not live here...I am sure you can order one from them and they will send it to you...

That pic links to their Facebook page so you can get their info!

It was $75 I think ??
It took about 4-5 weeks to get here... (now I want another color, I think I want to try script font in a tan maybe...) but I am so sad I have to wait another month! LOL

I hope this helps... I really am not a huge necklace person (much more excited about bracelets, but that is another post coming tomorrow!) but I absolutely LOVE this necklace and can't take it off!!

Let me know what colors you ladies get! Can't wait to see!!
XO!

Frankie's 3rd Birthday!

Yesterday was my sweet angel's 3rd birthday... and I felt like a horrible mom because we already had plans to take the kids to Kings Island before they start back to school. So that morning we made special time for him :) Then he went and played with my mom and her dog all day lol

I remember the first day we went and got him...he was so cute and sweet :) Look what I found...

Aww look at him coming home for the first time ;) This was right after we picked him up and got him in the car! He was a little greasy and hadn't had his first bath yet! Brings back the memories lol

Ok so back to his bday...after he slept in...

We got up, decorated the dining room...

 Then took him to his favorite store, the Barkery!
He rode in his favorite spot (aka Jakes carseat ha)

Then looked out the window and tried to show off his Birthday shirt :)

We made it and he was so excited when we pulled up!

He had fun picking out some new toys and then we got some yummy treats and cupcakes for him!

Frankie enjoyed his new toys... and a new Pee Pad that looks like grass LOL hopefully this will help him not pee in front of the back door anymore when we are not home! ;)

Frankie LOVED his one day a year of getting on the dining room table to enjoy his treats :)

He even is testing the waters with his new grassy indoor space hahahaha

 Then just for fun, we played put the paw on the doggy and ate cupcakes :)

It was fun!

Me and my sweet boy...

Wish I could have had him a major dog party but unfortunately I couldn't pull it off this year..maybe next year :)
