When we went to Europe this summer one of the first things we bought was a good set of headphones for each one of us. If you travel a lot, workout, or just love listening to music …then you know a great pair of headphones is a MUST. I am serious when I say our family is at Best Buy pretty much every weekend. Terence and Connor love to look at EVERYTHING in the store! Ha!
Best Buy also has a great selection of headphones as well, so that’s exactly where we went when we needed to headphones! Check out Sony’s New Industry Leading Noise Canceling WH-1000XM3 Headphones.
Why are these so cool???
(Well, first of all they have almost a FIVE STAR review rating)
Industry-leading noise canceling: Sony’s proprietary HD Noise Canceling Processor QN1 brings the WH-1000XM3 to the pinnacle of noise cancellation
Premium Sound: The 40mm drivers with Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) diaphragms are Hi-Res Audio compatible, reproducing a full range of frequencies
All-day listening with quick charging: Listen all day with up to 30 hours of playback and quick charging that gives five hours of playback with just 10 minutes of charge time.
Smart Listening: Smart Listening by Adaptive Sound Control automatically detects your activity and balances noise canceling levels accordingly
Planning a trip soon? Head to Best Buy and check theseout…nothing makes an airplane fly faster than a good set of headphones!

Now that school is fully in session it’s time to get serious about learning. Connor just started the 3rd grade and in the state of Texas we have something called the STAAR test. I know Connor is pretty nervous about the test this year, so as a Mom I want to help him be prepared the best I can.
About a month ago we started an online tutoring program called Revolution Math. It’s designed to help 2nd-5th graders with their math skills. The story-based curriculum is a lot of fun and I loved seeing Connor interact with his teacher and the other kids. The max amount of students for each class is only 4 students, allowing undivided attention by their teacher.
When you subscribe you will get a complimentary learning kit.
The learning kit includes: Graph paper, a protractor, pencil, dice, poster, character masks, flash cards, and area tiles.
Before I get started on this post I just want to say thank you so much for all the prayers, kind words of encouragement, and comments. If you follow me on Instagramthen you know a little bit about what has been going on the last few weeks. Basically, after we found out the baby didn’t have a heartbeat I had a D&C scheduled. I returned to work the next week and I thought everything was okay….but I just wouldn’t stop bleeding. Finally I got so pale that Terence was telling me I needed to check myself into the ER because I looked so bad.
I checked in on Sunday afternoon and was admitted to the hospital. I had an infection from the previous surgery. So we did another D&C and started several rounds of antibiotics and pain medications. I was in SO much pain! I’m doing a lot better now and I’m just focusing on getting healthy and back to normal life.
Normal life…which is hard right now. I feel empty and sad. So sad over something I really never thought about or thought was even possible. But I’m trying to keep my head high and I know that God is trying to show me something and whatever it is I know it’s His will for me. We also have a new french bull dog named Hemie who is the sweetest ever! And NO…our kitchen isn’t finished yet…this has been the LONGEST kitchen remodel in the history of kitchen remodels. I can’t wait to share the end results of that either.
We had a wonderful trip to Europe in June and I’m excited to post about it! I’m going to have to break it up into a few posts because I have about a MILLION pictures…but that’s what you do on vacation right? We had the best time I want to post everything for memory sake before I forget everything 🙂
So, I’ll just start at the beginning…
We have the best cousins that live in England, we are so blessed that when we go to visit we get to see and stay with them. I just LOVE it over there and would go all the time if I could. Trying to fit everything into a week’s time with small children is a hard task…so we’ll just have to go back again soon 🙂

School’s out for SUMMER!!! Woohoo!!! All the teachers shout for joy and the parents pull themselves up by their bootstraps. I’m really excited for summer break and I know Connor is too. He’s going to summer camp and I’m sure it will be a lot of fun! BUT…one thing I do worry about is if he’ll retain everything he learned over the past year in the next few months. He had such a good year in second grade and I can see by his work how he grew leaps and bounds.

Mother’s Day is this weekend and let me just say I am one happy Mama already because I got some fabulous items to try from Babbleboxx. I’d love to share them with you and tell you all about each one and why I LOVE IT!
I may not be a super hero, but I am a super Mom. I broke this kiddo out of school yesterday to get a sneak peek of the new Avengers: Infinity War movie before it hits theaters. I told Connor to put on his Captain America shirt before school and he had no idea we’d be going to see the movie. I haven’t checked him out for anything this year…but this was so worth it! When he got to the office and I was wearing my Captain America shirt and I said “What shirt are you wearing? “What shirt am I wearing?” He just stood there and said “No…no…no….are we going to see the movie?” YES!!!
Proceed with a screaming 8-year-old boy running out of school like his pants were on fire.
Every time we both try to talk about it Terence promptly “SHHHHHHHHH” us! He is going to see it Saturday so we’ve been sworn to silence in our own home. Which, after you see the movie you’ll understand is a hard thing to do!
Being in a house of only dudes I’ve probably seen every Marvel Superhero movie 3 times or more. It seems like 10 years has whipped past and suddenly I’ve been hit with a thousand stones (Infinity stones to be exact: Space, Mind, Reality, Power, Time, Soul) trying to process the latest film. I hope you have your tickets and are ready for quite the ride. If you haven’t seen all the films leading up to Avengers” Infinity War now is your chance to marathon watch y’all!

Who knows how it will end???
Now go get your watch party started with some popcorn…maybe throw some M&M’s in there for good measure. Prepare yourselves mentally for this movie…physically you’ll just be sitting there, don’t worry it’s okay to watch Thor and Captain America and just sit back and admire with googly eyes.
In a closing note I’d love to hear your thoughts once you see the movie, so come back and comment and let’s discuss! Also, if I had to chose an Olsen sister to defend me at the end of the world it wouldn’t be Mary Kate or Ashley. The Scarlet Witch is my favorite Avenger female superhero…because daaaaaaang.
This showed up in my time-hop today on Facebook…coincidence…I think not!

Morning are crazy in our house! Terence and I getting ready for work and getting Connor ready for school in time…well let’s just say we are 3 chickens running around with our heads cut off. Oh and did I mention that we don’t have a kitchen and they are tearing it out right now??? Take a look HERE and check out what’s left of our kitchen. The kitchen fiasco started out at the beginning of spring break and we aren’t sure yet if it’s a total tear down or if we are going to try to salvage some of it. I really need a TV show to come surprise me at my doorstep and remodel my kitchen like magic. That would be GREAT! LOL!
I normally stop for coffee before I go into work and thank goodness RaceTrac knows that sometimes you just need Whatever gets you going in the morning – whether you crave a large coffee or a large Coca-Cola; donuts or a slice of pizza. RaceTrac wants to give you the freedom to do – or eat – Whatever it is that gets you going in the morning, without feeling any guilt about food choices.
RaceTrac has some awesome roller grill items to choose from. My favorite grill item is the Taquitos! Whether it’s hot dogs or bacon, egg and cheese croissants. RaceTrac wants YOU to know that they have Whatever you need to fuel your morning.
So many snacks to choose from too. My favorite are the honey mustard pretzels for a mid-day snack. There are lots of healthy options too including fresh fruits like bananas, apples, and oranges. Connor’s favorite are donuts, so I usually pick him up some Krispy Kreme powered donuts.
