Finish This Link Up
I’m a little tardy to the party today….oops! But alas, I must join up with my favorite link-up of the week “Finish This”.
My favorite makeup item is …
I love Makeup Forever concealer. It’s hands down the best concealer I’ve used for all over coverage. It covers everything!
The best book I’ve ever read was ____ because …
It’s been awhile since I’ve read a book. I just don’t have that much time anymore. I love books by Sophie Kinsella. The Twilight series was great when I was reading it. I pretty much like anything that is a romance with some comedy added to the mix.
My favorite TV show is …
Right now my favorite TV show is The Blacklist. I’m trying so hard to figure the story line out and it’s one of those shows where you think someone is a good guy and they are really bad…..or are they good? I don’t know!
The most spontaneous thing I’ve ever done is …
Ugh. I don’t know….I’m pretty boring. And I’m a rule follower. I did all the things growing up that teenagers do. Sneak out, wear a shorter skirt, rebel a little bit. For the most part I was a good kid. I never really got into trouble and the only person I’ve ever dated seriously is my husband…..so ya know. I’m just waiting for him to be spontaneous now 😉
I prefer DOGS/CATS because …
I used to be the biggest cat person ever. Our first baby was a cat named Holly and she was so sweet. She would lay with me in the bed every night and when Terence was in Iraq that cat was my companion. She got sick and sadly we had to give her away 🙁
Then we got our boxer, Rowen. He was a great dog too. Much more energy than a cat, but we had a lot of great memories with him too. Until we moved and had to sell him. He was such a loyal dog and so goofy!
I met my significant other …
You can read more about our love story HERE & HERE & HERE. But really we met through my sister who found a dorm mate of Terence’s online. We met at Baskin Robbins one night and he kept pursuing me….(that’s what I say) and we’ve been together ever since.
This was our first Christmas together in 2001. Can we say awkward family photo???
We’d love for you to join the link up too! It’s a great way to get to know each other 🙂
Finish This….Link Up
My favorite vacation spot is…
Right now I’m dying to go to Ireland and Scotland. Besides that I loved Paris and England. We visited for our 10 year anniversary & stayed with Terence’s cousins. It was a great trip and one I hope we can do again someday!
If I won a million dollars I would…
Pay off all our debt then pay it forward. Tithe. If God blesses you I believe you should bless others.
If I could go on a date with ONE celebrity, it would be…
Nuff said. Channing is da’bomb.
If I found a genie in a bottle, my three wishes would be…
1. World Peace
2. Free Starbucks for all
3. 50 lbs would magically disappear from my body 🙂
My favorite clothing item is…
A comfy cardigan. It’s so flexible and forgiving. Dressing in layers is always good….especially if you live in Texas and one day it’s 80, the next it’s 40 degrees.
Five on Friday!
Happy Happy Friday to you!
Terence and I have been trying to cook with natural ingredients all week. We work together to cook our dinner and it’s been fun (sort of). Ha ha! I’m not the best cook. But it’s nice having him help me out since we are both tired when we get home. So this was one of our meals: roasted chicken, potatoes with garlic and rosemary, and mushrooms. Food Network here we come!
Follow along with me and my boo on Instagram with #selfieaday (I hate that new selfie song on the radio by the way) every time I even say the word “selfie” I think of that song….barf. It’s ruined me. Alas, at the end of the year I’d like to put a collage together of our year. So horrid song or not I’m still taking my selfies 🙂
This morning Connor told me that Superman shoots lazer beams from his eyeballs. So I asked him to show me how….this is how Superman shoots lazers out of his eyes. He cracks me UP!
This morning I ran by Dunkin Donuts to get a coffee and I saw these adorable Peeps donuts on the sign. I’m not a HUGE donut fan, but because of the cuteness factor I got a couple. “Peep Peep”
Last but not least if you haven’t tried the Younique Fiber Lash you are missing out ladies. I had to try it for myself to believe it, but it really does look like you have falsies on. It’s amazing stuff! Here I am at work today and look at those lashes girrrrrrrrrrrl. So blessed to have such a great work place….I love my job! So thankful that God always provides, and even though I’m nervous about the house hunt I’m so grateful Terence and I both have jobs we love and people we love too! GOD IS GOOD!
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
Finish This Link Up & Other Random Brain Dumpings…
On Saturday morning, I usually: Wake up later, like around 8:30-9 am. Sometimes Connor will even sleep past 10 am. Yeah…that’s why I don’t want another baby right now. I like my sleep WAY too much! Get coffee. Do laundry. Clean house. You know all that fun stuff! Spend the day with my family doing whatever else we need to get done 🙂
I feel beautiful when: My husband says I do. When he notices that I’ve put extra effort in and his opinion is the only one that matters.
I wake up every morning: In a fog. It’s rush rush rush! Shower, get ready, get Connor ready, eat breakfast, and get on the road…..I feel like it’s all a big BLUR! Some days I wish I could stay at home. Drink my coffee slowly. Catch up on so many things I need to do (in my head). Start doing a devotional and read God’s word more….but it’s so hard when your life is consumed by 6:30AM-6:30PM work/school then come home and cook dinner and have an hour or so before bedtime. It’s a big whirlwind & sometimes I wish the days had more hours in them.
A Happy Home Is: Is when Mom is happy 🙂 Ha ha! Just kidding! I’m a neat freak and I’m happier when my house is clean and organized. Right now it’s a mess because of the prospect of moving….so I’m kind of freaking out a bit!
When I have down time, I: Watch TV on my DVR. Play Candy Crush (I know I know…UH!) I’m usually cleaning or organizing something that I don’t have time to do on the weekends. I also LOVE to take photos. I love pictures….it’s my favorite.

Five on Friday
Happy Friday everyone! It’s about time!!! I am so excited for the weekend. We are going to have sunny skies and the circus birthday party is HAPPENING. I’m also shooting a wedding on Saturday evening & I’m so excited about it 🙂
1. I shared this on Instagram. When my sister was in town visiting she told me about Teez w/Eez. She got hers from a salon and I got mine from Amazon. It works amazing!!!
2. Here is what it looks like….Give it a try and let me know what you think.
3. My BFF Ellen is in Dallas for vacation this week. We’ve been friends since middle school and I love her to pieces. I’m on a mission to get her to move here. She loves DFW, now all we have to do is find her a job! Anyone hiring for someone with management experience and a degree in fashion merchandising??? Let me know! We went to California Pizza Kitchen, did a little shopping, and then ended the night at Sprinkles for ice cream sundaes. They are to die for….SO GOOD!
4. My friend Heather sent me some Jamberry nails to try. I’ve heard of them, but I’ve never tried them before. They come in so many cool colors and designs.
5. Here is how I styled my Jamberry nails. LOVE. They were super easy to apply and I can tell they’ll last for a while. For more info on how to order these beauties contact Heather for more information.
HAPPY WEEKEND!!!
Finish This Link Up: Week 12
I know it’s a little weird but
I have a family talent handed down from generation to generation. I can SQUEAK!!!! It’s just a funny thing my Dad taught me and he can even do entire songs. Just press your lips together and make a funny squeaky noise.
When stopped at a stoplight, I
Check my phone. But I NEVER take my selfies while stopped or driving. I also just jam and sing to music. Most of the time I’m in a rush and in my head thinking “GO GO GO!” Also, I HATE that song #Selfie….OMG I am so over it. If I hear it one more time on the radio I may barf. Ugh.
My guilty pleasure is
Chocolate. Coffee. Need I say more? I think those to are obvious if you read this blog. Right now I would give my right arm for a Kinder Egg. If you’ve never heard of them….Google it!
My favorite way to unwind
Sleep in. Get a professional massage (by that meaning one I don’t have to beg for where my husband uses one hand to rub my back) I also like to watch reality TV. Right now I’m liking Rehab Addict on HGTV.
Also don’t forget about my Easter photo special!!!
