Bluebonnet Adventures

I had taken Jayden out earlier this month for Bluebonnet pics, but there weren't many around. While coming home one day I noticed a patch of bluebonnets right across the street from our neighborhood. Let's just say we had way more fun this time around!

The first few pictures are from the first adventure!

The next ones are from our 2nd adventure!

My boys!

I hope you've enjoyed the preview! Have a blessed Wednesday!

A Weekend to Remember

**i wasn't going to post anything, but I'm the only one up. And I knew I should have taken some Melatonin last night* 

Last night we enjoyed our first night of the marriage conference. I mean, we were both talking about how it's easier to hear flaws when someone else says them. 

The speakers made me laugh, they made me cry & they taught me to love my Hubbers a whole lot more! I can't wait to see what today holds!! I'm ready to dive in & I'm totally ready to see where God will take us!! 

*done, won't post again. Plus I miss my precious little boy who's currently with his Aunt, Uncle & cousins. I also miss the fact that I won't be talking to my mom or Sis until tomorrow afternoon :/. (And I talk to both of them everyday!) *

That moment when you realize....

....... that your oldest nephew won't be apart of Jayden's 2nd birthday, because he'll be off at boot camp.

I was talking to my sister yesterday about how I'm already planning Jayden's party and she was like "oh wow!" and then she looked at the date, put a sad face emojicon on the text and said "Bubba won't be there." And it didn't dawn on me until just now that she's right, he won't be here.

I'm so proud of Christian and the good things God has blessed him with, but dang it, I'm a selfish aunt, and I'm going to miss him.

The Marines are getting a blessing when they accepted Christian. My dad would be so very proud of him and his accomplishments!

WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU CHRISTIAN! There may be tears, but just remember how much we love you!!

Mr. 17 months!

Jayden turned 17 months yesterday! Time is passing too quickly! He's learning so much! Yesterdays' biggest accomplishment was him saying the word "book"!

He was playing in his room, he came into the living room holding one of his books and said "uh book" which meant he wanted me to read it to him! It was a Dr. Seuss ABC book, I got to letter E and then he took over, pointing at pictures. And then, when we got to letter O, he saw the owl and said "Owl"! <--- Proud mom!

Hope you enjoy the little clip! Have a great Wednesday & God Bless!

Glitter Nail Polish....Is a Pain to take off!!

Pretty much anyone who knows me, knows that I love to paint my nails! They may not get done every week and on time, but I enjoy painting them! Sometimes, I even enjoy putting a little glitter on them. Like last week, I decided to glitter them up & so far, I LOVE the look!

But, I get bored with my nail polished nails pretty quickly (plus it was already coming off) and so I decided to try something that I found on Pinterest.

Here's how I did it:

I started with tearing up some cotton balls & cutting some pieces of foil up. (I should probably cut bigger strips next time. Oh well)

Soak the cotton ball, but get the excess remover off before putting it on nail.

Stick cotton ball directly onto glittered nail & then cover with the piece of foil! Let it sit for about 5 minutes. (Also, it's easier if you do 1-3 fingers at a time)

And voila! It came off! Now, what color should I do this week? 

I had a blast posting this on my blog today! Hope you have a fantastic Tuesday & God Bless!

I have coupons!!!

*I am currently a BZZAGENT & I basically review free products that they send to me and I am then supposed to tell all of you about these products*


 

Tone Petal Soft Body Wash

This seriously is amazingly great! I have used it since Thursday after receiving it and I couldn't be more pleased. It smells like Rose Heaven, the pink bottle will lure in any woman who loves pink! It is thick, rich and creamy and goes on very well! It leaves my skin feeling moisturized and smelling fresh! I know if they sold it in lotion and deodorant, I would so buy it!!!


So, what are you waiting for? Go out and try it!!

Grief Share

Almost 4 weeks ago, I took a big step and decided to go to Grief Share. It's a group that takes 13 weeks to understand all the issues and things that come with grief and how to cope with them. My mom goes too and I think that makes it easier on me. 

This class has helped me to better understand that what I'm feeling isn't a bad thing, but that others around me have to understand that I won't jump back to myself in a week. We were told a couple of weeks ago to write a letter to friends or family. I've been putting it off and now I'm realizing that I shouldn't. So if you're reading this, here's my letter to you. 

Dear friends and family, 

I lost my dad on September 14, 2013. Although it was a peaceful passing in which we (my mom, Sis & I) sat by my daddy's bed and sang "It Is Well with My Soul." That song could not bring more truth to someone who is going into heaven. God called him home. I miss him terribly & not a day goes by that I don't think of him. You may see me soon and wonder how I'm doing, and I may tell you "I'm ok," but deep down, my heart aches and breaks every time he is mentioned. It won't take months and it could take years, but I know with God's help, I'm going to get through this. I am in a rut, and if you come to my house and see several loads of clean laundry waiting to be folded or hung up, don't worry, I'll get to it eventually. I'm learning that this is part of my grief journey. Please still love me as I love you, please be my shoulder to cry on if I ever need it, and please remind me that God will get me through this, as he's gotten me through everything else. 

Thank you for understanding. 

Love Always, 

Kim
