That Kid + A Fun Little Giveaway!
{GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED ***WINNER NOTIFIED VIA E-MAIL}
This kid. He’s the love of my life. He is such a goofy kiddo. We are working on his listening ears and trying to help him learn the right things to say….but he gets so mad when I try and correct him! Like using “Her did that” instead of “She did that”. Context is probably a hard thing to learn.
Every day he runs straight to the iPad. I know he’s had a long day at school (where there is no TV) and just wants to check out for a moment just like I do. Is it bad that he wants to b-line to the iPad? I think he’ll be okay.
He’s still wetting his pants at nap time. I know it’s just a phase, but I feel SO bad for his teachers who have to clean up that mess every day. Bless their ever-loving heart.
He’s becoming quite the artist and learning to write his name really well. My favorite subject in school was art…maybe he’s taking after his Mama?

Finish This Link Up: Week 34 All About HAIR!
IT’S WEEK 34 OF FINISH THIS : All about HAIR!!!
Your hosts are LISA (Coastlined), JEN (The Arizona Russums), BECKY (The Java Mama) and NICOLE (Three 31). The link up instructions are simple: answer the prompts in a post on your blog. Then, add the post to the collection list using the link below. Next week’s prompts are located at the bottom of this post.
1. My daily hair routine consists of
I only wash my hair every 2-3 days. When I don’t wash it I used a dry shampoo. I like the Batiste for Blondes brand. I also use Got 2B hair powder…it’s amazing stuff and gives you the “perfect poof”. I don’t use a certain brand of shampoo or conditioner, I usually just buy what’s on sale. My favorite hair spray is Kenra Finishing Spray. That’s about it for my hair! I usually just pull it up part way, I don’t like having my bangs in my face.
2. The best hair advice I’ve received
Don’t over wash your hair, it causes breakage. Also, don’t brush it too much…that causes damage too.
3. My hair idol is
Julianne Hough. I love her hair short or long she always styles it great. I wish she didn’t chop it all off…but she seems to be growing it out nicely.
Invite your blogging friends and come back next Wednesday for another round of Finish This where we’ll answer another set of prompts!

Show us Your Life Singles: Kyle
I’m linking up with Kelly’s Korner today. It’s amazing how many couples have found each other through her blog and are now married and have kids! Just CRAZY!
Okay, I’ve put this guy up on here before and he’s FULLY aware he is on here again. He just hasn’t found his soul mate yet. Kyle has been Terence’s best friend since they were in pre-school. He was in our wedding 13 years ago and I am bound and determined to find the right gal for him.
Kyle is 33 years old. He IS employed and has a good job! He practically lives on the water and on his boat. If he had gills I think he would be a fish. Kyle is looking for a woman who is fun, likes the outdoors (especially the water), likes to try new things, laid back.
Basically he told me he’s looking for a tom boy who likes to have fun. Someone who is physically fit and enjoys a laid back life style. He’s not into girly girls who have a 50 pairs of red shoes or worry about their makeup constantly. He’s looking for someone who is easy to talk to, relaxed, and easy-going.
Kyle loves to travel, snorkel, and is very adventurous.
If you fit the bill then email me at beckylbranch@gmail.com and I’ll pass along your information. He’s in the DFW area, so if you live here then give me a shout!
Here are a few pictures of Kyle:
