UPrinting Rolled Canvas {{Giveaway}}

 We moved into our house just under a year ago, and the decorating in most of the rooms is done. With the exception of the dinning room. It was once a bedroom, that the previous person knocked the walls down and opened up. Which means its huge, with large white walls. I have found them a huge challenge to decorate. I seem to never be able to find anything that I like in my price range (which isn’t too big). So whenever I do find things that I can customize myself that are at an affordable price I jump on them!

Mind Blown.

I love the original version by LMFAO, so I knew this was going to be good. However nothing could have prepared me for what this dude sounded like when he started singing. Just awesome.

CCCandBowtique {{Review & Giveaway}}

From the moment that Jayde was born I knew she was destined to be decked out in the most girly clothes possible. Of course that also means having the cutest bows. Though I realized quickly that it was easier said than done. While she wasn’t one of those babies who minded wearing bows, finding one that would stay in her hair, and that wouldn’t become worn looking fast was becoming a chore.  For a brief period of time I even made her bows, that was great and all but I never really was able to make big bows like I felt she needed. So you can imagine how excited I was to try out CCCandBowtique’s bows.

Honey Bunches of Oats Fruit Blends {{Review & Giveaway}}

I recently tried the new Honey Bunches of Oats fruit blends. As you all know, I adore cereal. I could literally eat it for every single meal and be totally happy. There only one thing I love more than cereal, and thats new kinds of cereal.

Honey Bunches of Oats has two new cereals, Banana and blueberry fruit blend and Peach Raspberry fruit blend. I tried out the Banana Blueberry mostly because we love those two fruits. I can say that it didn’t let us down, its was very flavorful. I think my husband said it best whenever he said he thinks he enjoys “adult” cereals over “kiddie” cereals, and I really have to agree.

They have given me FIVE boxes of Honey Bunches of Oats fruit blends to give five lucky readers. So take a moment and enter, and then head to your grocery store and get your own box!

14. If you won the lottery…

The first thing I would do would be move. Im sure most of you all know I wasn’t a huge fan of Louisville to begin with. I would love to move to Minnesota, but I guess it would depend on if John could get a job up there {unless we won enough to never have to work again}. After we moved and settled in some, I would want to visit home, since we haven’t been back since 2009.  Maybe even take a small vacation while we were there {since home is Florida and the land of amusement parks}.

Last but certainly not least I would run my minivan off of a cliff {not literally of course} and buy a new car for both of us.  I guess if at that point theres anything left I would put it in savings!

Also, maybe I should start playing the lotto huh?

Lets Pretend This Never Happened

So I finished the first book off of my book bucket list. I started with Jenny Lawson’s Let’s Pretend This Never Happened: (A Mostly True Memoir). I expected that this book was going to be good just based on how awesome her blog is, however I don’t think I fully expected the things I read inside of this book. This book was also the first book Ive ever bought/read on iBooks, which meant I could read this book anywhere and everywhere. And I did just that.

The book is a collection of unique experiences from Jenny’s life, growing up as the daughter of a  professional taxidermist. It is everything I hoped it would be, each chapter was more surprising than the first. I found it very hard to put down this book. The first few nights I read it I stayed up til 3 am reading.

I highly recommend reading this book, and soon. Be prepared to laugh like you never have at a book!

This is probably where I should apologize to John for laughing so hard that I woke him up on a couple of occasions.

13. What is your earliest memory

My earliest memory is of my Granny, of  her crawling on the floor chasing me.  Im not sure how old I was, but I would guess I was probably 4 or 5 years old. Weird thing is that she was actually very sick most of my life {she passed away when I was 7} so Im not even fully sure how it was possible that she was crawling around with me but it I swear it  happened. Actually come to think of it all of my earliest memories involved my Granny. All of the memories were from the same time frame. Like how she used to take me to her pool, and I would sit with her and eat nectarines, or how she used to make sweet tea in the sun, or cooking with her or watching the Grand Ol Opry while building with foam blocks in her living room.

I also remember her garden, she always had so many really pretty plants. I also remembered the time that I dug up one of her flower bulbs and planted a leaf. I don’t remember her being mad at the time, but I remember Mom saying she’s surprised that Granny didn’t get really mad at me for pulling it up. I do remember Granny saying that it would never grow since it was just a leaf that I planted. Oddly enough, it grew into a tree {the smaller kind}. Actually the last time I saw my uncle he still had that tree. Crazy right?

Also sorry for missing the last few days, I will try to make it up here and there.

Right on Mr. President

I have noticed a good bit of talk about Obama over the last two days. Especially since Obama spoke out about stance on gay marriage.  Actually it started yesterday whenever he first made the “announcement”, the outpour of support was awesome. Just awesome. I don’t think I even saw one negative comment about it yesterday. I went to bed last night thinking that this just might be it. The change we need.

Until I started checking Facebook this morning. One of the first status’ from a friend I read was pretty nasty, and to be honest it was very shocking. From a “friend” that I remembered as being super sweet and caring. To hear such hate coming from her was a great shock. I felt like she had personally attacked me with her words.  Why on earth would she spew such hate? Did she not care who she hurt with her words? Then I thought, is she teaching her children this hate?  The more I thought the more angry I became. This is not okay. She wasn’t the only one, either. So many people who I thought I knew were saying similar things.

Im not proud to admit that I went on a short rant on Facebook about how I would like to punch anyone in the face that was posting all the hate. I am however proud of how many friends that did support my stance. Im happy to know that the great majority of my friends were good people. However, as I see the people posting hate I will be unfriending them. While I could just ignore their hate, Ive chosen to remove the nastiness from my life.If you’re new here I appologize for the political/religious talk. I try very hard not to talk about it, but I needed to vent.
