I have saw this post idea on another bloggers page and thought "Awesome! What a great idea!"

I know original right?

Guess that's how the cookie crumbles when you have one of the worst weeks of your life.
Thank God it's a four day week right? I'll spare you the details.

Onto the subject at hand...


Currently.....

I'm watching:
Orange Is The New Black. Scandalous and intriguing I might say. I had heard of this series only through Facebook and found that it was a Netflix series. From the beginning I haven't wanted to stop watching it. I love the characters and love the story line!

I'm buying:
Madison a new bed. I have yet to find one with good reviews. I like to make sure I am getting the most for my money! I am thinking about taking a little trip to Ikea this weekend. I may or may not have a review to come on that!

Stressing me out:
Finding a solution to selling our house. It seems almost impossible to move. We have lived at our house for 10 years and no realtor has succeeded in helping us dig ourselves out of this hole. The neighborhood has taken a plunge and we are ready to bounce. I seriously need an assistant to help with phone calls and paperwork. Who can work an 8 hour day and manage all that needs to be done when selling a home? Ain't nobody got time for that!

Making me smile:
Madison's successful drop offs at preschool in the morning have been a little easier. No crying and no clingy crazy outbursts! Finally adjusting to the new and scary environment has made leaving her a little easier.

Craving:
The Melting Pot. Hot cheese, seasoned meat, yummy moist bread and warm chocolate with fruit. My mouth is watering. I also love the fondue experience!

via

Loving:
My family and friends. I had been feeling a little blue lately and it seems like I get an invite to lunch, to hangout or a text or phone call right at the moment I need it. It's encouraging knowing there are people who love and care about you.

Reading:
Beautiful Bastard. So far resembling Fifty Shades. Love everything about it.
I just finished Beautiful Disaster and didn't put it down except to sleep for one night. In a few short hours I had completed the book and enjoyed every minute of it. I suggest reading both of them.

Needing:
Sleep. And so this shall happen now!

Mary Kay All The Way

When something good happens in your life all you want to do is share that information. Am I right?

Well something fabulous happened to me!

My bloggy friend who I have mentioned before, Lara, was so kind to send me an email letting me know she wanted me to try out some new products in her Mary Kay line!

Of course I jumped on that bandwagon! I use to sell Mary Kay and with a new baby and hardly any time on my hands I fell short of becoming a new pink Cadillac driver. Booooo.

For anyone like Lara who can make a career out of this and who can spread the word, more power to ya!
I am so grateful to have bloggy buddies who look after me, check up on me and who care about my well being. To all of you, thank you!

I was overwhelmed with happiness when I received my little box of products in the mail!

Mary Kay has some of the best products for aging, daily skincare and beauty needs!


Let's see what's in the box shall we?

1. A look book with the most current and updated products! A pamphlet with this seasons hot new color line! Including info about Mary Kay's new lip and eye crayons! I get overly excited about new products!

2. A color card that matched my skin tone well! It includes 3 eye shadow color (silky caramel, precious pink & iris) samples, one mineral cheek color (strawberry crème) and a crème lipstick (maple) sample!

3. Timewise Volu-Firm Eye Renewal Cream. When Lara emailed me asking me about my major skin concerns the number one answer I had for her was wrinkles! Expression lines, fine lines and eye wrinkles have become a nightmare for me. I mean I'm not even thirty yet and I find myself "lifting" my face in the mirror. So when Lara sent me this little tube I jumped for joy! The cream is so soft on your skin and smells great. I am using it every day and hope that in a month or so I will really be able to tell a difference!

4. Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara. Yay for mascara! Especially this kind! The ultimate mascara is my favorite and I will soon be running out so this little tube came at the perfect time! It never clumps and never irritates my eyes like most mascaras do.

5. Timewise Repair Volu-Firm sampler set which includes the:
Foaming Cleanser, Lifting Serum, Day Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30, Night Treatment and more Eye Renewal Cream.

This kit is amazing. It has everything a women needs. At least a woman from age 25 and older. It's never too late to try and turn back the hands of time! This kit helps to focus on smoothing out your skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and replenishing the moisture in your skin.
I love the TimeWise skin care line because it really keeps your skin clean and healthy. While the TimeWise Repair does just that, repairs what years of aging has caused. I highly recommend purchasing this kit!

If you haven't tried out Mary Kay products let me tell you, you are missing out! The wonderful line of skincare and beauty products is amazing. Mary Kay does not disappoint!
I am very grateful and lucky to have been given the chance to sample all of these wonderful items!

Please visit Lara Brown's Mary Kay website today!

She will help you with all of your needs!

If you are a Mary Kay consultant or someone who needs exposure to their business send me an email, I would love to help!

3 Days Full

What's better than a weekend wrap up on a Tuesday?

I LOVE three day weekends!

I have always said that if I had every Monday off it would be the best thing.

Even though I spent most of the weekend doing things I enjoy instead of things that were a priority to get done I still managed to do a lot!

 

Here are the highlights on my holiday weekend!

Friday:

Mine and Madison's favorite thing to do when the hubs works late is go to the dollar movies! (Apologies for the dark theatre pic)
So we decided to go and see Turbo this week. If you have a little one at home or even a little kiddo you can take, go see this movie! It was absolutely hilarious and a winner in my book. Madison even sat through the entire thing without budging! Totally worth the $2!

Saturday:

Probably my favorite day of the whole weekend! Spending time with friends and venturing up to a newer hot spot, Latitude 39.
They are known for arcade games, bowling, concerts and food!
We didn't get to enjoy the bowling and food part of it but the games were fun. Madison always has the time of her life running around soaking in the flashing lights, sounds and prizes.
We spent the rest of the night at our friends house relaxing the night away.

 

 

 

 

Sunday:

 

Sunday happened to be the busiest day of all!

Madison and I woke up Sunday morning and went and picked up her bff Cash and his mother for a fun filled day at the pool! Even though it closed yesterday we got the last weekend to enjoy great weather and great time spent together. The kiddos were off and running in no time and had a blast splashing around! I loved seeing their smiling and laughing faces!

We also stopped by the grandparents house to visit my newest nephew, Jax. I could seriously sit and stare at him all day!

 

 

 

 

 

I also had borrowed two books from my bff the night before. Beautiful Disaster being one of them. I finished the book Monday afternoon and loved reading every page. I hardly ever read unless I am hooked from chapter one so it was a delightful and relaxing experience to be able to sit down and enjoy a good book! If you haven't read it I highly encourage you to do so!

Monday:

This was the day I jumped for joy when I woke up at 9:30 and realized that besides my vacations I never get a Monday off! It was going to be a great day!
We spent the day eating lunch at Ralston's (the pretzels are to die for), grabbed dessert at Subzero (an ice cream parlor that whips up their creations all from scratch and uses Nitrogen to freeze it together) and soaked in the sun rays that beamed down on us!

 

 

I had a pretty great weekend as you can see! It's nice to settle down, take things one day at a time and enjoy the atmosphere.

Anything exciting happen in your part of the world?
