Happy Hump Day! We were at the drive thru at McDonald’s over the weekend and this is what I saw in the car ahead of me…..


I didn’t know that dogs were driving these day….lol!

Almost Wordless Wednesday….

Happy Hump Day! I had to post this picture today because I just can’t take how cute my little Anthony looks in his new Tae Kwon Do uniform!!

Christopher has been taking Tae Kwon Do since the summer and her really likes it. He actually just took another test and has moved up to an orange belt. Well, Anthony has been asking to go too. But it is expensive and I am not sure he is really ready. So, they had a special for Christmas where you got 2 months of classes and the uniform for $50. SCORE! Yesterday was his first official class and he loved it.  Now, we will see how he does for the next 2 months if I end up signing him up or not….lol!

Have a great day……

New No nonsense...

This post brought to you by No nonsense. All opinions are 100% mine.

I am on a roll people, two posts in two days!! YES! In all honesty, I was so excited to write this post, that I wanted to share it as soon as possible. With the New Year comes resolutions. And although we may not always keep them, I believe most of us make them. One of mine (as it always is…lol) is to focus more on me. I am always so busy worrying about everyone else that I sometimes lose sight of the things that make me happy. And looking good makes me feel good, which makes me happy!

If I could go out and buy a whole new wardrobe every January, I would. But that is not practical. Adding a few new staple pieces and some fun items is reasonable though. I love accessories and make-up and how they can change your look. For the winter, tights and scarves can do that too.

I received 2 items from the new No nonsense. One was a pair of blue denim leggings...

 

And the other was a pair of pear tights….

I knew I was going to put those new leggings on right away! Oh, and were they comfortable!! They were just the perfect weight, not too heavy. Leggings are a staple in my wardrobe because I feel like you can make them totally casual or a bit dressy depending on that you pair them with. I opted for casual the day I first tried them.

Now, the tights were definitely a fun ‘accessory.’ And I consider them like an accessory because they can instantly change the look of your outfit just as a piece of jewelry or a handbag. If you are in a more serious mood, you would probably wear black tights with your little black dress. But if you were in a funky, fun mood, then you could go with green.

I haven’t worn this yet, but I am planning on it as soon as Chris and I have our next date night!

The No nonsense tights and leggings make it so easy to add a pop of color to every outfit. No nonsense is ensuring that all women can experience “style made easy”. Finding stylish tights and leggings has never been easier with No nonsense products being sold in food and drug stores as well as mass retail stores. Their prices are so affordable that you can buy numerous pairs at a fraction of the cost of other brands. Ultimately, getting you more looks for less! And that will also help with your New Years resolution of saving money…lol!!

Now, if you check out their website, you will see the beautiful face of Jill Martin. You know her, she is the Emmy Award winning TV personality and co-author of the NY Times best selling style guide “I Have Nothing to Wear.” You may also have seen her as the correspondent for Access Hollywood. Well, she is partnering with No nonsense and has a bunch videos on their website with awesome style tips and tricks.

I encourage all of you to ‘like’ No nonsense on Facebook(http://www.facebook.com/nonons…) and follow them on Twitter (https://twitter.com/benononsen…) to keep up with all of their new products. You will glad that you did!

Have a great day….

 

 

 

Welcome 2013!!

Happy New Year everyone! It is good to actually be back and writing here on my blog. The last 2 months have been like a tornado for us. The holidays are a busy time for everyone, but this year it was BEYOND ridiculous! All I can say is that I am so glad it is over! And one of my goals for this year is to focus more on the things that I enjoy, like sewing and blogging. So, we shall see if I actually follow through and continue to post….lol! 

I will give you a short synopsis of the last 2 weeks of Christmas and New Years…..

Christmas Eve morning…at the doctor. Both kids were sick but Christopher was worse with a fever, sore throat,coughing.
The doctor said it was viral and it would work its way out of his system. But that should give you some idea of how Christmas went….lol! 

We went to my sister’s Christmas Eve for dinner and presents. The kids were all excited to be with their cousins. They played and ran around and a good time was had by all.


But by 10:30pm I knew Christopher was going down hill. He looked like crap. So, we left and he fell asleep on the car ride home.

Christmas morning the kids ran downstairs to see if Santa had come. And of course he did……

They got everything they asked for and more!! So much so that I don’t even know where to start with putting all of this stuff away…lol! Christopher was dying for and Xbox 360 and he was so excited when he opened it!





After opening presents and playing, I could tell that Christopher was still not getting any better. In fact, he looked worse. We were supposed to go to Chris’s aunts house to spend Christmas with his side. But with the way that Christopher feeling, I thought it would be best if I stayed home with him. So, that is what we did. Him and I stayed in our pj’s all day and just relaxed. Chris and Anthony got dressed and headed out to see his family. Needless to say, there are no photo’s of the rest of the day…lol!! 

Ok, now the rest of the week we were all looking like this….



Christopher got a little better, but we all got worse!! All four of us were sick the entire week. It was horrible. I can’t ever remember a time when we all got sick together. All week we laid around, hoping to feel better. 

That brought us to NYE. We had plans to go out with friends, but that quickly got canceled. At this point, Anthony was the worst and I did not want to take him out. I told Chris he could go with Christopher, but he didn’t want to leave us so we all stayed home.  We put our pj’s on early and watched tv. 

Anthony passed out around 10:30 but we kept him downstairs with us….



Christopher was struggling to stay awake, but he made it…..



That brings us to today. Christopher went back to school and Chris went back to work. But Anthony is still not well. We have an appointment to go back to the doctor and hopefully get some meds for him. 

I hope that this is not an indication for what this winter has in store for us! 

That pretty much sums it up! I hope you had a great holiday season with your friends and family. I will be by to catch up with all my bloggy buddies this week. 

Have a great day…
