Red Hot Valentine

I made these cute little Valentine treats from Connor.  I know not all kids like red hots..because, well, they are hot!  But I figured Mom & Dad could eat them and I would also give something for the kids.  I just liked the idea of using red hots 🙂

 I made this up on my own….and I was so proud!
Just clear baggies, a label, red hots, and ribbon
 Very fitting of a Valentine theme don’t you think?

Countdown to V-day is on….

 

Is that why Godiva called my house tonight???

They know my number???

 

Those Godiva oompa loompa’s are working overtime!

 

(I kid you not, they actually called)


 

Note to hubby: Every year you get me Godiva extra dark choco truffles….don’t fail me.  I think this was a sign…that my one time a year to indulge is okay 😉  I know you love my lovely lady lumps.

 

This is a public service announcement:
 
If you work outside the home and the delivery man doesn’t come your way on Valentine’s day…..it’s like the walk of shame.  Everyone oooh’s and aaaaah’s over what comes through the door on Valentine’s day.  You can see the look of anticipation on every co-workers face.  When the poor delivery guy doesn’t say “It’s for YOU” then you just blow it off like it’s not big deal.  Forget that…IT IS.  This is why I dread Valentine’s day, because the expected of the unexpected.  My hubs knows I love him, and I know he loves me……

 

Dudes….don’t leave your gal hanging this year!

Thank You.

Yesterday’s Post:


I appreciate everyone’s advice and comments…kind words etc.  I also understand a lot of you didn’t agree with why I decided to post a video of my child throwing a tantrum.  Honestly, I wasn’t “planning” on video taping him….I did it so I could show Terence how he was acting.  Apparently he never acts that way around anyone but ME?  So originally it was just between us.  Then I start to re-evaluate my parenting methods.  I was looking for advice, maybe a shoulder for support.  I wasn’t seeking out attention in any way whatsoever.        


I love blogging and the support group that we have.  Thank you all for your advice, which I will now use and take into consideration on our next shopping trip!  


Love yuns bunches…..

Now I’m getting back to work!

Fully caffeinated of course!




Worst Target Trip EVER.


I debated on whether or not to put this up here….but I think we all have days (shopping trips) like this.  I took a video because nobody believes me that he acts this way!  


I know he was tired and everything, but it’s days like this where I just lose it!  This lasted for almost 45 minutes in Target….all of this over not wanting to sit in the shopping cart and run around the store.  Lord help me.  Everyone was staring. 


 I did take him out and whoop him too….so don’t think I didn’t!  What do you do when this kind of thing happens???



It was so bad that a nice lady offered to wheel my cart out for me while I held him while he was screaming…..Thank you sweet lady at Target.  You were so kind!


Best Camera Bag Ever!

I am absolutely in love with my new camera bag by Kelly Moore.  It’s bright and stylish…and also holds my camera.  I just adore this design, it’s everything I wanted in a camera bag/purse. 

Lots of pockets for all your camera necessities:

Handle on the bag, as well as a long strap with padded shoulder:

I could easily carry two lenses in here along with my camera.  I am using that to take these photos though 🙂

I really like the front pouch.  It holds whatever cards you use, plus extra SD cards:

It’s the perfect mix between a camera bag and purse. 
 

Biggest Loser Week 5

Well….how are you all doing so far on the challenge?

 

I’m going “okay” but I’m not exactly as motivated as I’d like.  Still eating well.  Trying to avoid my weaknesses {sugar + carbs}.  We had a very busy weekend.  I worked the Fort Worth Stock Show Saturday and then went into work for a few hours.  Terence hasn’t been feeling well all weekend so the boys stayed home.  We had one of our nephews birthday parties and some other miscellaneous things to do. 
 
The weather here has been in the 70’s.  Typical for Texas…but I’d like to feel the chill in the air a bit longer before we hit our 110+ summers.  Hopefully we’ll get to plan a camping trip in between all the business before it gets too hot and all the critters come out!
 
I think next week during our challenge I’ll share some of the prizes the winner(s) still undecided about that…..will receive.  I also want you to share some healthy recipes if you have any you just LOVE!  I ordered a book my good friend Kim recommended called “Clean Eating for Busy Families”  I’ll try to share some of the recipes from that.
 
Okay now down to the nitty gritty:
 
(Mother nature decided to grace me with her presence…ugh!)
 
Week 5: -1 lb.
 
I’ll take it!
 
 
 
I also had the pleasure of meeting Tina from Girl Meets Globe.  She and her family travel and do missions overseas.  She is such a beautiful person inside and out.  It was so nice to meet her after reading each other’s blogs for a few years.
 
You should go check out her blog-she’s got really cool pictures of all her travels.  They are on their way to England next!!!  I can’t wait to check it out!  xoxo Becky
