Fit Throwing Biz

I stayed home with Connor yesterday because he hasn’t been feeling well.  He was pretty good most of the day but we had an issue when I tried to wash THE BLANKET.  I mean he had it out!  I thought I was going to start crying….of course every time I offered up another blanket he would just get more furious.  I told him I was going to take his picture and he stopped right after…..I guess he knew he better stop or I may show these to future girlfriends 😉 Ha ha!

I’m ready to go back to work today….aka….”vacation”.
Just KIDDING!  I wouldn’t trade any day with him….fit throwing and all!  I love you so much boo boo and hope you have a good day today with your nice clean blanket.

We also got to visit with my lovely friend Amber.  I LOVE HER.  She is such a beautiful person inside and out.  I’m so glad God brought her into my life….and she found me through this here blog!  She’s doing so good raising her two boys since Brett died earlier this year.  She’s much stronger than I would be….I just admire her in so many ways. 

I told her I was going to talk with my British accent until the Olympics were over.  I tried it for awhile but I don’t think she was too fond of it!  LOL!

 Us embarrass anyone…..NEVER!
We headed over to Garden Ridge to take in all the Christmas wonderland and Halloween horrors.
Ya know because it’s August and all….only 110 degrees outside!
Connor was not scared when we scooted down this isle…he just laughed!

Welp!
I hope ya’ll have a great Friday!

Dawn Ultra Hand Renewal - Olay Beauty Pomegranate Splash Scent

I really love shopping for groceries every week with a toddler in my cart.  NOT. 

P&G has some of my favorite items.  They are things I shop for on a weekly basis.  Now P&G makes it easier on you with a simple way to shop in their new eStore!  It couldn’t be any easier!

Just the click of a button. 

No fighting your way through traffic and crowds trying to get your shopping done!

One of my favorite products from P&G is Dawn Hand Renewal with Olay Beauty.  I don’t need to use TWO products……I can just use one!  Instead of dish soap and hand soap on my counter, I only need Dawn Hand Renewal with Olay Beauty and it does two jobs in one bottle.

I’ve tried it and we’ve been using it for months now.  Dawn Hand Renewal with Olay doesn’t dry out your skin and also has the grease cutting power of Dawn dish liquid.

Flashback: Alaska 2002

I decided to post some Alaska trip pictures here on the blog because I wanted to document all the “travels” we have had on the sidebar.  (And hopefully future travels as well!)
In 2002 Terence’s Grandpa took us all on a cruise to Alaska and we had the best time.  Terence and I were celebrating our one year anniversary as well. 
We had a great time & will always cherish the memories we made on this trip!

Friday night I had the pleasure of meeting so many fabulous bloggers in the DFW area!  They were ALL so sweet and I can’t wait until we all get back together again.

This weekend we ate dinner at my in-laws house with all the cousins.  Connor LOVES getting together with all his cousins.  It’s so hot outside, but the kids love playing outside.  I am SO ready for fall!!!!

We also got him The Polar Express to watch and he LOVES that movie…but since I’ve seen it 5 times this weekend I think I am going to hide it until Christmas! Eeeeeek! 

Love the weekends with my family….they are my heart.

Olympic Cupcakes

There is probably a reason I’m not a “food blogger”.  I love to eat and bake…but I ain’t the best at it ya’ll!  I just sounded like Paula Dean there….

 Here I was trying to get the the Olympic spirit…so I made these simple cupcakes with M&M’s:

Then…..they started slip sliding away…..
 “Wah-wah”
As long as they TASTE good right?
I do not like canned icing so I tried a new recipe.  It tastes great, but was a little runny.
I’d give this tryout a 7/10 🙂
