Simple Pleasures

I often think about the simple things in life that make me happy!! I was so excited to see that Kelly listed her SIMPLE PLEASURES and even created an McLinky so that we could all share our simple pleasures! Its so funny how the most simple things can make us happy but to me they are the best parts of life!! So in no particular order, here are some of my "SIMPLE PLEASURES"........

Friends & Family

My Furbabies

Crafting

Fresh Flowers

Good Movies

Sweet Tea

Candles

Receiving & giving letters/cards

Clean Sheets

Music

The Beach

The lake

Great Laughter

Babies

Lazy weekends

Home cooked meals

The simple words-- I LOVE YOU

Beautiful days outdoors

Taking pictures/photography

There are plenty more simple pleasures but these are just a few that come to mind.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Wednesday!

My Style Monday

Hey everyone! Sorry I have been MIA but I have not been near a computer in a few days. First came the ice/snow and then we moved {down the street....but it was still a move} So Im a bit behind and a day late on My Style Monday however Im still joining in on the fun. Short Southern Mama is one of my favs so I have to join in on our fun!!

My Style Monday-- 5 Things that Scream "ME"

okay these are five things that scream my name when it comes to home decor.....Im pretty sure my family and friends would agree!

1) Giraffe Print! Now I dont "over use" this pattern but for some reason I have ALWAYS loved giraffes. When everyone went on the cheetah/lepord/zebra print craze....I was faithful to my giraffe print. ha!! All my friends tell me that giraffes remind them of ME.

2) Distressed/Painted Furniture! I love a good distressed look on furniture and cabinets!

3) Crosses! I love crosses. I paint them, I buy them, I love them! I possible have a cross if not more in every room of the house!

4) Shabby Chic! My taste is mix of Shabby Chic, Vintage, and French Country all together!

5) French Country! Like I mentioned in # 4 my decor is pretty much french country. I loved the distress look, brick, bead board, farm house, country look! Makes for a comfy home!!

So there ya have it my decorating style that has my name ALL OVER IT!

Hello Winter Weather

Well the weather man was correct and we have winter weather. Im not sure if Im excited about it though! First off....I was hoping it would start last night. I came home and cooked dinner..ENCHILADAS {used ground turkey of course} with black beans and spanish rice.....

and then we waited and waited.....and waited. NO winter weather. So this morning I had to head 20 minutes to the office in the sleeting rain...YUCK. After about an hour they cut us out and I headed home. Needless to say its been one lazy day. Im sitting on the couch with a fire watching the Real Houswives of Orange County. {listening to Aaron of course....he would rather watch something else...ha}

It has literally rained all day and we pretty much have ice!!!! Where is the snow?!?! Its not even pretty just yucky! I cant really complain though...I plan on sitting on this couch in front of the fire cuddled up. Im cooking Chicken, twiced baked potatos and green bean bundles for dinner....so Im off to get it all together!

Happy Friday!! Hope everyone has a wonderful evening!

OH JESSICA

You did what?!?!?!

haha...incase yall havent heard click HERE to read!

The girl is just keeping it real. hahah!!!

Cant help but love her!

Snow or no snow.......

....that is the question my friends! So the weather man says winter weather but lets face it...he never seems to be right. Im not doubting him we just seem to always get left out...maybe its our location but the snow pretty much always seems to miss us. Now let me just say that as of yesterday they were talking snow with freezing rain {so possibly ice} but here is where Im so confused....my car literally said it felt like 54 degrees yesterday. I ran errands at lunch and had my sun roof open. Does this sound like a city about to be hit with winter weather. What is up?!?!? Needless to say Im hoping we DO NOT get hit with the winter weather. We are moving this weekend and personally I do not feel like moving on ice.....not my idea of fun. Im possibly one of the clumsiest people ever...they will have to put more padding on me than the furniture. Also, we refuse to move food so we have not been to the store in several weeks....this means we have NO food...please do not trap a girl that likes to eat inside her house with no food. Lastly, my furbabies DO NOT like to go outside to potty when its cold and neither does their mama. ha!!
Okay, enough complaining...Ill let yall know what the weather does when it happens...or doesnt.

Happy Wednesday!

This is your life addicted to surgery

Okay so we have all seen Heidi Montag recently...I mean she's in every magazine and all over every news ad bc of her recent plastic surgery. 10 operations to be exact in one day. Yikes!! Personally I think shes gone over the top and has ruined herself...she looks like a robot {just my own opinion} The girl was pretty....now she just looks like she hurts. ouch.

{AFTER AND BEFORE}

Dear Heidi, you are 23 years old....if you keep up at the rate you are going you will look like this in 10 more years.....

This is what happens when you are addicted to surgery....Surgery gone over board! Yikes....Im not sure if you can fix that! Love what God gave you and dont ruin yourself!
