Confessions & Laughs

Happy Thursday!!

I confess that...

It was a rough week last week.  This one decided to run out back after a Husky, when Joe & the kids were getting a lawn mower out of the shed.  Thank goodness she is okay, but she had some gashes/bite wounds and major bruising.  She thinks she's a big dog.

I've been really trying to eat clean, but when hubby brings home banana cream donuts from Donuts Delite....

One cannot resist.

These two have been soaking up sweet Summer.  Lil man loves his watermelon (mama loves that he can eat it in a diaper outside) and lil miss loves magic dance camp.

I have finished quite a few books lately so I will have to share my thoughts/reviews.  THIS one author however, is speaking volumes to me.

My heart was happy to see one of my favorite flowers on sale at the grocery store.

The kids and I met up with a friend at the splash pad.  Brooke loved loved loved the water.  Bradley, not so much.  (Daddy much?)

The struggle is real.  Which nails to do for my birthday weekend?!  {Clearly some form of pink and glitter!}

I was so blessed with some early birthday flowers from friends and my Fall samples arrived!

Hubby said I'm hard to buy for. Say whaaaaaaa?  So I googled my favorite champs and sent him this.

Speaking of, so last night after I tidied up the house, did the dishes, got the kids to bed and sat down to look through the new SD catalog, I meant to voice text my bestie about the new BLACK HORN necklace that I'm dying over.

This was too funny not to share.  Somehow even though I clicked on her name, my watch sent a text to my husband and instead of horn, siri heard:

Needless to say there was a very quick facetime call after he got that first message!!! Ha


Bradley and I played with snapchat---silliness.

Bubs also insisted he sit in the blue car like Daddy's.  Anything with wheels and motors...

Another giggle.

Joe sent me this meme to see my response. {pardon the language}

My response,

"But the real question is, why is he even holding a dish?!"

He told me I was funny, and I replied with:

I'm really trying to not take life too seriously.  It's really a lot more fun when you're lighter on your feet.


On a random note, holy caffeine buzz from this! I usually drink green tea but one of these made me zoom around the house after 4pm.  And I made it myself. #winning

Have a beautiful day!

5 on Friday!

Happy Friday my beautiful people!  I hope that this weekend finds you with some fun tricks and even more treats! I cannot wait to dress our littles up and parade around are adorable little neighborhood.  Brooke is so excited and I think it will be so much fun!   I wanted to jump on here and share a few things this lovely Friday.

{1}

I have been really focusing on our budget and trying to save as much as we can, so that when we go to build, the money part won't be stressful.  The universe is working its magic, and I joined a FB group with likeminded ladies who want to save extra as well.  We are doing a "No Spend November" and by that, no extra spending unless it's necessary. Stay tuned! If I learn and good tips and tricks, I'll be sure to share!

My daughter is my husband's clone.  Seriously! I try to get her to smile, say cheese, and she gives me this face.

She is super funny and lately wants to snug on the couch.  I'll take it!

Our babysitter interview worked out--she is AWESOME and I was able to sneak out for 3 whole hours!  I am loving my new dark nails. Yay!

Seriously still on a cooking streak= I can't stop! 

Garlic Parm Wing Sauce from Tastefully Simple.  

We were loving grilled chicken wings, but now that the weather is getting yucky, 

it's time to move indoors and use the oven.

2 dozen organic wings.

Slather with sauce.

Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.

Slather more sauce.

Bake another 30 minutes

GET IN MY BELLY!

I threw together a pesto, tomato, cheese pizza too.  So tasty!

Have a great weekend, and Happy Halloween!
