These seem to be all the rage this summer and are a great statement piece for your wardrobe!

My Mom said they looked like BCG’s that my Dad had while in the military.  The more I thought about it she was probably right.  So I’m glad I didn’t commit to these.

I also tried these on….I think they were a little big for my face???

Terence got these glasses.  I think they look really nice on him and this is reaching for this dude.  He’s so hard to get to try new styles.  What do ya’ll think?

I’m also in love with these green and yellow earrings I got at a new store in Fort Worth called “Maven”

One of my co-workers and I went to an estate sale on Friday after work.  I found this large brass platter for $5.  It’s really heavy.  I’m trying to decide what to do with it???  Paint it?  What color?

I LOVE ESTATE SALES.

I know I am not the only one in love with chevron right now.  We got this adorable chevron pillow from Motif Pillows.  She has the cutest shop with TONS of different designs.  Changing pillow covers is one of the easiest ways to change the look of a room. 

They are so cute and affordable….I think you’ll have a hard time making a decision 😉

Work was pretty busy yesterday, but we were able to pause for some yummy cupcakes from The Cupcakery.  I work with the nicest bunch of folks and they know the way to my stomach that is for sure!

We then left and went to PetsMart to look at fish and birds (entertainment for a 2 year old).  Connor got a haircut.  We went grocery shopping at Super Target and I made some food for a work potluck today! 

That’s about it!  These days it’s just like a regular old day…but I do feel so blessed and God is so good!

I had a long four day weekend and it was exactly what I needed!  My Mom & Dad drove to visit from Arkansas and spoiled us all rotten.  It was so good to see my Mommy & Daddy I miss them every day.  If you live close to your parents don’t ever take it for granted. 

They drove up on Friday and got in pretty late.  I took off work Friday and cleaned my house from top to bottom.  I also had a little photo shoot with my friend Jenne and her cute kiddos that morning.  (FYI-I got covered in chiggers from laying on the ground taking photos….been itching like crazy!!!) Yikes!

Saturday morning Mom and I went shopping at Wal-Mart & Super Target.  Then we took Connor to a splash park.  He had a lot of fun!  I wish they had one a little closer to where we live and a little cleaner too :/  Regardless it was a cool relief for the hot Texas summer day. 

That night we went to Olive Garden for an early birthday dinner.  Our family loves the Olive Garden!  We always go there when we go out to eat.  I got a black tie mousse cake for dessert.  I’m turning 30-ish-er-ONE tomorrow…..

Fun with Daddy and Poppy at the splash park

Sunday night we all ate dinner with Terence’s family and had some yummy BBQ hamburgers.  All the kids got to play outside and we had a good visit with both our families together in one place. 

We also went to Abuelos on Monday night before I had to start back to work today.  I got another yummy free birthday dessert and Connor loaded up on cheese dip.  If there is one thing I know….this kids LOVES some cheese. 

Nana & Poppy got Connor a motorcycle and that’s all he can talk about right now.  He LOVES his motorcycle 🙂  Can you say spoiled?  Connor says “Thank you Nana & Poppy for the motorcycle, clothes, DVDS, swimming pool, and sugars and hugs”  I miss you already!  He’s been walking around the house going “Nana??? Poppy???  Where you go?” 

Connor wanted Nana to hold him all the time.  He loves his Nana! 
Doesn’t my Mom look great ya’ll?  She’s lost over 30 pounds in the past year!  Hot Nana!

Oh the joys and peacefulness of childhood.  Having your every need tended to and even having someone to wipe your own hiney!  And then you grow up…..

Well, most of you know by now that I suffer a lot from anxiety. 

There are some things I do to try to relax and it helps tremendously:

1.  Take deep breaths….in….out…in….out…..sounds simple but just controlling your breathing helps!

2.  Massage.  Oh Lordy if I could have a massage every day I would!  I beg Terence to give me one all the time because I sit at a desk all day and Lord knows that doesn’t do a thing for my posture.  I got an iNeed from Brookstone a few years ago and keep it at my desk at work.  LOVE IT.

3.  Get lots of SLEEP.  It’s so important that you get sleep. Make time for it.

4.  Let things go.  I stress about the smallest things.  It’s stupid stuff like taking the trash out or if a cabinet door is open I have to close it.  Just try to let things go.  Your nails don’t always have to look perfect and your hair doesn’t either.  Those close to you will love you anyway 😉

5.  Diet and exercise also play a tremendous role in your mental and physical health.  I’m not doing so hot on these lately.  I go in and out in phases.  Lose weight, then gain it back.  But I do notice when I am making a conscience effort to eat right and exercise I do feel better.  (And a little chocolate cake doesn’t hurt every now and then 😉
