Fly Away with me!

Terence and I worked our last day at the stock show yesterday.  After we were finished his parents dropped Connor off to us so we could show him the animals.  There weren’t many left because the sales were the day before.  We did see some cows and horses up close and Connor got to ride his first official fair ride 🙂
 And they’re off!

His facial expressions were hilarious I don’t think he knew quite what to think of the cows and horses in  real life.

We had a blast and now it’s time to make some party food for the Super Bowl!!!
Have a great Sunday 🙂

Show Us Your Life

I’m posting this for Kelly’s Korner singles show us your life post and hoping I don’t get in trouble!

Terence’s best friend from childhood is Kyle.  He was in our wedding over 11 years ago and it a great guy!  He’s one of the most loyal guys you meet and he’s always been a good friend to Terence.  He’s just had a hard time finding the right gal 🙂

He loves the lake and his boat.  He is from Fort Worth, TX

Age: 31

For more info on Kyle just leave me a comment…..

Favorite Product of the Week

I’m linking up with Aly today and all her buds.  I like this product of the week link up because it’s a good way to discover things you would have never known about before! 
I was talking with Aly awhile back and she asked me how I did my “POOF” in my hair-do.  I use Got-2-B Powder-ful.  It’s great stuff!!!  I use it every day and I cannot tell you how much I LOVE IT! 
It tames all the fly aways and really gives your hair volume.  It looks like dandruff going on…but just comb through your hair and it goes away.  I talked about it more in this post.
Also- This pic is really delayed…but I forgot to share it from way back in December….
Terence and I got to meet Lyle Lovett at the Celebrity Cutting event in Fort Worth.  It’s always so much fun!  I think this was our fourth year to attend? 
It’s for a great cause, if you’ve never been and you live in the area you should definitely plan to go next year!
And let me just say Lyle was SO nice!  Just a genuinely nice guy & has a great voice 🙂
(I look awful in this pic due to just getting off work…if I would have known I would have fixed myself up a bit! Ha ha!)

 

What are you loving this week?

 

Gettin Crafty Wit It

I’m not the craftiest person on the planet.  We saw these car prints at Pottery Barn Kids for a bazillion dollars and I was like “I could make that!”  Proceeded by that is “CRAZY” to pay that much for those!!!

I mean it’s just cars cut out of construction paper right?
So last night Connor and I got our crafty noodle on.  I cut and he played with his crayons. 
He then moved to the tile floor when I left the room….naughty naughty!
 Here is my creation:
I wanted to do a set of airplane prints for Connor’s room and frame them…..
NOT SO SURE ABOUT THIS????
 I’m doing an “Outfit of the day post”
I’m certainly not a fashionista.  I love tunics right now.  Mostly because they hide my rolls and muffin top.  I particularly love this one because it’s my favorite color green 🙂
You have to be careful with tunics though because they can give you that “tent” effect. Ha ha!
 My new shoes from Zulily.  It’s not just for children’s stuff ya’ll!
I swear I paid like $12 bucks for these shoes and I LOVE THEM!
 It’s that time of the week…………

 Pics from the weekend :
  • I look like poo (sorry)
  • We Celebrated my nephew Jacob’s first birthday!
  • Went to Dallas to return something to Restoration Hardware, which by the way VERY GOOD customer service!!!!
  • Connor and I have both come down with the crud again…is it ever going to END???
  • We played with lots of cars.  Somebody is a bit obsessed right now!
I saw this phone contraption somewhere….isn’t it nifty?

I forgot where I saw this, but I can picture myself laying on my bed like I did when I was 16 talking to all my friends!  I remember it was such a big deal to have your own phone line in your bedroom growing up….now it’s all about cellphones!  Can you imagine!  Oh how times have changed.

 



Win $50 from Head & Shoulders!

We are in the midst of January here in Texas, but the weather has been up…and down…then back up again! It was 77 degrees today can you believe that?

The changes in temperature do a number on my hair and skin. As a result, I get chapped lips, dry skin, and a dry scalp. If that doesn’t sound attractive I don’t know what does?

MY HAIR

One of my favorite colors of clothing to wear is black. However, black is not a great color to wear if you are flaky, and it’s 77 degrees outside. Everyone else knows that’s not snow on your shoulders!
I recently had an opportunity to try Head and Shoulders Apple Hair Care. I’ve been using it daily for the last few weeks. It smells like delicious green apples, it leaves my hair feeling clean, fresh, and, best of all, flake-free.

YUMMY

+

I found Head and Shoulders Apple Hair Care to be a refreshing & invigorating way to wake up and face the day. Head and Shoulders Apple Hair Care not only works great, but it leaves my hair looking great.

It’s also super affordable, and it truly WORKS! It’s definitely not your average dandruff shampoo/conditioner, and it works on all types of hair.

Head and Shoulders advanced formula relieves scalp itch, dryness, irritation and helps prevent flakes while improving hair and scalp health. Healthy Hair Starts from a Healthy Scalp™, so why not treat your scalp with the respect it deserves? Your hair will thank you!

The Head & Shoulders collection of soothing products promises to help with dandruff problems: dryness, itchiness, and sensitivity. I’ve been using Head and Shoulders Apple Hair Care shampoo and conditioner the last few weeks now. It has completely eliminated any dandruff I had. I have absolutely no flaking or itchiness whatsoever. I feel comfortable wearing my black sweaters knowing all you’ll see is black.

I hear a cold front is coming next week, but my scalp will be ready! Why not treat yourself and your scalp & try Head and Shoulders Apple Hair Care, it will sooth your hair and your senses!
A great scent can lift my mood, like fruity scents in springtime.
