Football!

These guys aren't giving us much to cheer about this season:

These guys either:

So thank goodness for this cutie!

This is his first season playing flag football and maybe I'm a little partial but he looks A-DOR-ABLE doing it!

His first game! He looks so big with his mouth guard and little football pants!


His first game was so funny to me because I know how serious football is in the south (especially Georgia and Alabama) but I never dreamed they'd take flag so seriously but they had two refs, who did the little signals, they had the down number flipper thing, and they were serious about moving the chains and first downs. When he's played sports at the Y they never kept score and it was just about having fun.. Football here is not about not getting your feelings hurt it's competitive! 

And the score:
32-6 Redskins!! 

So proud of our sweet little boy! 

Here are a few pics I took of him and Kaylee before football practice yesterday.

Our new addition

I cannot believe I forgot to blog about the newest member of our little family.

Meet Aubie!

We got her when she was 6 weeks old and the kids are just soooooo in love with her! I may or may not be getting attached as well.

She is our first family pet, and things were touch and go for a bit. I had every intention of letting someone else have her because it was so overwhelming for me at first but we've all acclimated well and things are great.

Beauty Products

I am doing a link up with Kelly's Korner on my favorite beauty products.. I am a self proclaimed beauty novice. I love makeup but because I really don't know anything about it I get really overwhelmed when I try to purchase makeup. Not to mention I'm a complete cheap-o and only purchase Wal-Mart/Drug store brands.

Since I usually don't know what colors to use I LOVE these eye shadow palletes that are exclusively for a certain color eyes. This is the Almay smoky-i for greens. I love that it shows you what colors to use and exactly where to put them.

How it looks on my eyes. :)

My favorite lip products.

EOS Lip balm. That is tangerine but I love the Summer fruit one.
Baby Lips lip balm from Maybelline. That is the pink punch. It's a gorgeous color and it smells amazing!
The last one is the liplicious in watermelon from bath and body works. It's glossy and it smells really good. The only issue I have with it is it's kinda sticky.

My last beauty product is the only one I use every single day. It doesn't matter if I'm just running Ethan to school or going to the gym or sometimes even if I've been home all day I might smear some on before my husband gets home. I can NOT live without this little pink and green tube.

Maybelline Great Lash. 


I'm definitely open to makeup tips!

Adult Birthday Party

I am doing a link up with Kelly's Korner about adult birthday party ideas. My husband has a birthday coming up next month so I thought I'd get some ideas and share his idea of a perfect birthday party.

The theme would be the easiest thing to pick!

Man football food.

Maybe?

And this is a "cake" I had pinned for him on Pinterest.

But with Bud Light and orange ribbon. Gotta keep with the Auburn theme. :)









Limited Time Product

Hey y'all! For a limited time I'm carrying a new product in my boutique!!


I LOVE monograms!! Y'all can get different colors in this. If there's an image you'd rather have than a monogram then you can send it to me. These can also come in men's watches with their favorite sports team. Have a family pic you want on your watch.. I can do that too.. See.


Only 23.00. I will be placing a wholesale order for these hopefully by tomorrow. Email me to order and I will be sending invoices through paypal. These are personalized so they must be pre-paid!

Honey Boo Boo

Have y'all seen this show?


I usually don't post about shows but I happen to LOVE Honey Boo Boo. Lately I've been reading blogs and people are bashing the heck out of this family.

Granted they're a little redneck-ish, and they don't have the best manners, but they seem like a hard working family (Sugar Bear works 7 days a week) who love each other and have fun and appreciate what they have.

I admit sometimes their antics make me shake my head (mama's fork lift foot, YIKES!) but I'm reading things about how this show makes people feel like better parents because she's a bad mother, and how shows like this are "dumbing down America." Why are people so mean?

Compared to Jersey Shore and other reality shows I'd much rather my kids watch Honey Boo Boo with her dolla that makes her holla than anything else.

On a side note: How adorable is Alana in this picture? I LOVE her!
