I just love these watercolors. They all represent a place we visited while in Paris.

This is probably my FAVORITE piece of art in our house. It’s an artist we saw on our honeymoon years ago. He’s in Eureka Springs Arkansas. Terence and I saw his art and love it, but didn’t purchase anything. Then later that year for Christmas his parents surprised us with this smoke drawing and it was so sweet!
The artist blows smoke through a tiny pipe onto paper and creates these amazing landscapes. It’s just smoke and paper! Amazing!
I tried to see if he was still doing artwork, and unfortunately because of health related issues he’s no longer doing his smoke art.
Another favorite piece is this abstract boat painting….it’s in our master bedroom! I got it for Terence after he got back from Iraq because I remembered how much he loved it!
Connor starts gymnastics tonight and I think he is ready! Ha Ha!
On our way to following up Justin Timberlake….he LOVES to dance!
Look at those fabulous deals from GroopDealz!!!! I am dying! I love those camera strap covers!
Also I have set up a Facebook “official” page for this lil blog…it would be still my heart if you all would go “Like” it 🙂 Thank you so much!

And what would a blog post be without some updated pictures of my boo boo! He’s growing up so fast and I have to say I love this age. He is SO much fun right now and he’s starting to speak full sentences, use the potty, he’s so grown up! I also signed him up for gymnastics classes starting tomorrow so we shall see how that goes 🙂
If you live in the DFW area a bunch of us bloggers are getting together for dinner Friday night and I would love to meet ya’ll! Check out more info HERE!
Connor was spoiled the entire weekend and got lots of loving from his Nana and Nannie Sue 🙂
Nannie cooked us a good dinner one night with fried taters, fried okra, fried squash, and home grown tomatoes (my favorite!). Oh how I miss that good cooking!
She also got up early one morning and made us a yummy breakfast that including another favorite chocolate gravy. If you don’t know what chocolate gravy is it’s probably a southern thing….but it’s the yummiest gravy and you just poor it over biscuits and gobble every bite!
Do you think Connor enjoyed it???
Nannie bought Connor some cars. A police car, ambulance, and fire truck….complete with siren noises. He’s been sleeping with them every night and taking them with him everywhere! I can’t tell you how many times during this week I’ve thought I was getting pulled over, only to realize it was Connor’s toy police car! Whew!!! ha ha!!!
Hi Everyone,
In case you missed my review of the great new Baby Orajel Naturals teething product, you can still read it here (though the giveaway has ended). I also wanted to let you know that if you are one of the lucky women attending the BlogHer conference in NYC on August 3-4, 2012, you can visit the Baby Orajel folks at Booth 1100 to learn more about taking care of your little one’s teeth and gums! They may even have some product samples to share with you so be sure to stop by.

My Mom and Nannie came to see us this past weekend from AR as you know. My Nannie gave me a lil spending money so I finally splurged and got the Naked 2 palette at Sephora. I’ve been salivating over this eye palette forever, but could never get up the nerve to spend the money on it.
The sweet girl at Sephora did my eyes for me that day and they looked great! I have been trying to re-create the look she did for me ever since then….but I haven’t been able to apply the eyeshadow exactly like she did. Terence took this picture of me with my eyes all done 🙂
I know it’s a lot of money to spend on eye makeup. You get 12 shades, and that rounds out to about $4.15 for each shadow…so it’s not too bad!
The palette has every color you would ever need and I must say I’m having a lot of fun doing my eye makeup in the morning. If you’ve been resisting the urge to splurge on the Naked2 Palette, just start saving up because I think it’s a great investment and hopefully I won’t need eye makeup for a long while now!
