Connor’s Favorite DVD Giveaway

My baby boy is growing up.  I took a few pics last night.  T and I often disagree about what to do with Connor’s hair.  I know at times it gets a little afro-esque.  But I love his lil fro.  I mean I’m not going to let it get all “lil Hank” on me….but you know what I mean? 

He’s been such a blessing to our lives and is so funny right now.  I’m loving this stage.  He’s been so sweet about saying “bless you” or “thank you”.  He’s a keeper that’s for sure.

Connor wanted to give away one of his favorite choo choo DVDs.  He loves Chuggington and would like for one of YOU to have one 🙂

Don’t Believe What you See

These are all the same model and she’s photographed at different angles and lighting to depict aging.  Makeup and Photoshop I’m sure has a lot to do with it as well.  Isn’t this crazy….just goes to show you gals….never believe what you see in magazines.  Everyone is Photoshopped these days!

Monday Mish Mash

Well, the Olympics are over.  I sure did enjoy the closing ceremony….the Olympics are great and I’m sad they are over.  There were several memorable moments.  Check out McKayla’s Not Impressed if you want a good laugh.  I’m ready to watch MasterChef….I’ve been waiting patiently to see who wins!

Donna is coming back to SUITS! Yay!  The show is not the same without her.  I guess all that #savedonna tweeting was totally worth it 😉
What the heck did Miley do to her hair???

I am really wondering what is going on with this girl?  Is she pulling a Britney right now or going through some kind of mental crisis?  Why Miley…WHY?

OUR WEEKEND:
We went to Paxton’s 5th birthday party
Didn’t his Mom do such a good job on his bat cave?

Connor spent the night with his Grana & Pop. He has such a good time with them. Terence and I were able to go out on a date to see Batman and we ate at the Outback. A little anniversary celebration-better late than never!!!! Thank you Grana & Pop!

Every time I look at him he seems a little more grown up….time’s going too fast!
Oh and we had a little bit of this goodness as well 🙂
T’was a fab weekend indeed…..and now back to the daily grind!

All For Color

It all started a few weeks ago when I got a cute chevron cosmetic bag at a local boutique.  Then I looked online to see where they sold this brand because I loved the pattern so much.  I found the site All For Color and ever since then I’ve been hooked!  Everything is very reasonably priced too!

I love the bright bold patterns so much!

Tablescapes

TABLE DAY!
I love to decorate tablescapes it’s one of my favorite things to do at a party and at home.
This is one I did for a baby shower earlier this year
This one area of my counter I always change up with the seasons:

This tablescape is from Connor’s birthday.  I loved it.  I think I’m going to get one of these GIANT balloons every year now 🙂

This is one of my favorites from a Christmas luncheon.  It’s an ornament tree and we used it as a centerpiece. 

In other Friday happenings….
Here is Connor playing in his Dad’s old super hero cape from when he was a little boy!
May your weekends be filled with lots of chocolate and coffee dreams 🙂

Diggin the Dragon

Connor loves that movies “How to Train Your Dragon”.  I really enjoy that one too because it’s not too cartoon-ish.  A really cool company called Hullabalu sent him this dragon.  He LOVES it!

He gives Cedric kisses

Cedric “Draggory” is so awesome and when you push his neck he blows imaginary fire! Oh my!

Hullabalu has a great selection of stuffed animals! Hulabalu is about to launch their website with a full line of funny and furry animals with stories to share!  

He flies!!!
We got our box of clothes from Wittlebee this week too!
I love this box to door service because you get a great selection of clothing from some awesome brands.
Here is what we got this month:
Hey it’s almost Friday so things are looking up!
This little guy has gymnastics today and he loves it.  Now if he’ll only follow the rules on the trampoline we’ll be golden.  I love seeing how much fun he has every time we go 🙂

Wrinkles Be Gone!

My sweet friend Emily emailed me a couple weeks ago and asked if I would like to try a sample of a product called NeriumAD.  I’ve started to get wrinkly now that I’m in my 30’s and I thought I would give it a try.  While my Mom was visiting we were talking about aging and how much she hates her neck aka her “gobbler”!  I wish I would have known about this product then before we went to Sephora and she spent $80 on something that isn’t really working out for her….

Anyway…..I will show her this NOW.

Here are my before and after pictures after using NeriumAD for just 5 days:

BEFORE
 AFTER

The difference in my skin is subtle, but I can tell a difference.  Especially around the eye area.  These photos are un-touched with no makeup on……GULP.  And very hard for me to post up here on the blog!
NeriumAD is a breakthrough age-defying night cream. Unlike other anti-aging creams and solutions sold at Nordstrom, Macy’s, Dillard’s, etc. – Nerium guarantees an improvement. Yes, I said it – guarantees, in fact, the company has a 30-Day Money Back return policy.
Nerium was founded by the Head of Research at MD Anderson while trying to develop a drug to help his cancer patients get rid of scarring & discoloration.
The product is capable of improving skin in a number of ways:

-Reduces the appearances of fine lines & wrinkles

-Improves uneven skin-tone and hyper-pigmentation

-Shrinks pores

The photo below is of a woman who used NeriumAD for 5 months:

And here is a photo of a woman who used it for SIX nights:

The results speak for themselves, really.
This product is changing lives and best of all: TURNING BACK TIME!
