5 Things Making Me Happy #15

August 7, 2015

Happy Friday! Our summer has come to a close. The girls have finished their first week back at school and we are all getting back into a routine. Hopefully this means I will have a little extra time for more posts! As much as I will miss our flexible summer days, I am excited to have more structured days and for having a little more quiet during those days. 🙂

Now onto a few things that are making life just a little better!!!

1. Benefit’s Erase Paste

I have been on the fence about buying this for probably a year. I am usually always disappointed with under eye concealers so I wasn’t in a big rush to purchase it. I finally gave in and bought it about a month ago and I love it. I bought the lightest shade and it is perfect on me. It blends great, doesn’t stand out, looks natural, brightens my eyes and conceals my dark circles. Total winner for me. Also not a bad price at all considering you only have to use a small amount. It will last a very long time.

2. Sanuk Yoga Sling

These shoes are amazing. I’ve seen these around for awhile and I finally decided to try them on and I was sold. They feel amazing. So comfy, and they come in lots of cute designs and colors. The footbed is made out of yoga mats.

3. Cold brew has been my best friend all summer and I do not see this friendship ending anytime soon! I love making my own, but Starbucks also makes a very tasty one. I get mine slightly sweetened and a splash of coconut milk. Perfection!

4. Ummmm did I mention that school has started back 🙂 The girls have had a great first week back. I can’t believe Lily is already in 2nd grade and Emma is in PreK4.

5. My song of the week is…..

5 Things Making Me Happy #14

June 26, 2015

Well let me start off by saying I am not crazy about this summer heat. Living in the South you would think I would get used to it, but no it does not get any easier. Basically since the beginning of June we have been in the upper 90’s and some days 100+. Most of our activities have been limited to indoors lately except for early mornings and late evenings. Nevertheless I am still finding things to make me smile. Here’s the line up this Friday….

1. Iced Coffee

This is very new to me. I love my coffee but I like it HOT. I would always cringe when I would see people drinking iced coffee. I just couldn’t wrap my head around it. That was until a few months ago and I decided to give it a try and now I am hooked! 🙂

2. I’ve also been staying cool by drinking Lemon, Cucumber, Mint Water.

This is so refreshing, I love drinking water. I drink at least 3 liters a day and lately at least a liter of it has been this water. Love it!

3. NYX Butter Gloss (Apple Strudel)

I saw this gloss on an Instagram account that I follow and thought it looked perfect for summer. It is a great shade for an everyday look.

4. Big Brother!!!

We look forward to this every summer! Perfect guilty pleasure 🙂 It just started up this week, so it’s not too late to tune in if you missed it.

5. Blackberries

We picked the biggest most beautiful blackberries a few weeks ago. Most are now in the freezer but kept some out to make this delicious cobbler and also made Blackberry Jam for the first time. I cannot believe how easy it was and oh my goodness it is the best jam I have ever tasted. I have been putting it on everything. If you would like the recipe let me know and I will do a post on it.

5 Things Making Me Happy #13

January 23, 2015

Whew!!! What a week, we made it back to Georgia Tuesday night after a full day of flying. We were greeted by lots of hugs and kisses from 2 little girls 🙂 and the rest of the week was spent getting caught up on laundry, grocery shopping, getting the girls to school, homework, cleaning and I blinked and here we are at Friday! Here’s a few things making me smile this week….

1. My early V Day gift….

I love catbird and their dainty rings! This is my third ring from them and I love them all!

2. Vegas! We had a great trip and managed to mostly stay on East Coast time so we weren’t too jet lagged when we made it back home!

This was from Hash House A Go Go and it was amazing! A farm scramble with griddled mashed and a rosemary biscuit. The picture does not do it justice, the lighting was low in the restaurant.

Ready for Blue Man!

Awesome burger and fries from Shake Shake! Wish I had one right now 🙁

3. This book…

I’m about half way through it and if you have children you need to read this book.

4. This recipe for Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup

I made this on Wednesday and Jim and I both enjoyed it. I topped mine with avocado, hot sauce and I crunched up a few Sun Chips to sprinkle on top. Soooo good and only took about 5 minutes to get everything into the pot!

5. I will leave you with a smile on this little cutie’s face 🙂

5 Things Making Me Happy #12

January 16, 2015

Happy Friday! This week started out as a rainy one…no complaints here. I actually enjoy a nice rainy day. It cleared up and I enjoyed several good outdoor runs this week! The week has zipped by and today we are packing up and getting ready to leave for Vegas tomorrow! Jim has a conference he is attending and my sister and I are tagging along for fun! We have a couple of shows planned and are looking forward to some adult time!

Here are a few things that have made me smile this week….

1. This shirt…..this is so me. I’m not the best person to be around when I am really hungry, I have several people in my life that can attest to that!

2. This pin…. Easier said than done, but a good reminder!

3. The Blacklist is our current Netflix addiction! Jim tried to get me interested in True Detective, I watched two episodes and fell asleep, sorry True Detective you just don’t do it for me!

4. Vegas!!!

I’m ready for some fun, good food, and shows!
