Five on Friday!!

Hey everyone!!! So its Saturday but in my defense....I started this on Friday!! Let's get right to it....5 Things that I want to share with you!

{one}

Have you jumped on the Lipsense wagon yet? I have several friends who are selling it and I haven been hesitant to try it. My friend, Nikki, offered to send me a color of my choosing to try out. I was so excited because I love to chance to sample new products. 

It was really easy to use and I can see why it has such a cult following. There are a million youtube videos about it. Basically you make sure your lips are clean and then you apply the color three times (letting each coat dry between layers) and then you add the gloss on top. My color was really natural looking and it stayed put for hours!! 

I hate (like seriously hate!) posting pictures of myself but here you go. If you want to try out some Lipsense for yourself check out www.musthavemakeup.com and tell Nikki I sent you!!

I saw this pom pom straw clutch on a friends Instagram and I knew I needed to order one. Its from T&J designs and you can find it here.

Last weekend we traveled to Bossier City, LA to see someone who has been on my bucket list for years...Paul McCartney!! We are HUGE Beatles fans so to be in the same building with him....I have no words! He is showing his age but he put on an amazing show!! There were 24 Beatles songs that he did and he threw in some of his own stuff too. It was a once in a lifetime experience and Im so glad that we did it. We also left the kids with an overnight babysitter for the first time and they did great but I was a nervous wreck and dang it was expensive!!

We celebrated 4th of July. I displayed my sign that we made last year. 

I also purchased a pallet flag made by one of my clients sons. 

Love these sweet kiddos!!

I am so very excited because I was invited to attend a special agent training in Disneyland. Its been about 8 years since I was at Disneyland....the place where it all started...and I can wait to check it out. I have decided to stay one extra night to explore and hubby is going to hold down the fort back home :)

Operation "Loose the Baby Weight" is on. I go to the Dr for my 6 week check up and cant wait to hear the go ahead to return to the gym. 

I also started Weight Watchers on Monday. So far, so good. I love the flexibility of it. You get so many points per day and you can eat what you want, but once the points are gone each day, you are done. It has really made me realize how many points my old foods were...can you believe a packet of salad dressing from Chick-fil-a is 10 points?! Thats a third of my daily points...no more salads at Chick-fil-a for me!

I am hosting a paint party on July 30 for any of you local girls. We are making these cute Back to School door hangers and the cost is $25.

Did anyone else have these neat charm necklaces when they were little. Well guess what? Michaels has started selling something similar and I cant wait to start buying them for Sally!

Aunt Kristy came to meet Henry this week and it was so nice having her here even if it was just for the day. I love how we can just pick up like we havent been apart.

I decided to treat myself last week and bought some new sunglasses. The last pair I got was 10 years ago. Joe gave me some Chanel ones for Christmas the year we got married and they have been by my side ever since. They have some scratches and I just felt it was time to get some new ones. 

{two}

Teacher appreciation was last week and I gave Sally's teachers a succulent planted in an empty Bath and Body Works candle jar. I wrapped it with burlap ribbon and added a free printable from Pinterest. 

Sally and I also hit up the downtown farmers market and got a bouquet. They have the most beautiful flowers and I love they look in the reclaimed wood boxes that we sell.

I hosted a paint party last weekend and we made the cutest firework door hangers...perfect for Memorial Day and the 4th of July.

 There is a local lady that comes to your house and brings everything you need for a fun girls day.

My Mother's Day was just perfect!! Joe was flying in the morning but Sally greeted me with kisses and hugs and couldn't wait to give me the cards and present she made me at school. She was so proud!!

We made breakfast and when Joe got home we took a trip to the zoo to check out the new hippo area and some other favorites. 

Being 37 weeks, I think I was a trooper...we walked all over and I was beat when we got home!

When we got home, Joe presented me with the big present from him and Sally. Its a reclaimed door drink station. I saw one on Pinterest and mentioned it to Joe. It turned out perfectly and I cant wait to style it up.

I enjoyed sitting in the chair while Joe and Sally jumped on the trampoline.  We went to a local Thai place for dinner and Sally liked it...yay!

Sally and I have been having a big time...trips to the library, ice cream shop, candy store...all her favorites!! I have been trying to fit in as many fun things as we can before Henry makes his debut. All that being said, my Dr. told me this week that I need to slow down and take most of the day to just relax and take it easy....so easy to say but hard for me to do.

Happy September Friends!!

For me, September 1st signifies the start of fall. I've been burning my "leaves" candles from Bath and Body Works and dreaming of crisp nights eating chili and watching The Walking Dead. We have a Disney trip and beach trip coming up and I am so excited and ready to start the holiday season. So let's get onto five things I'm loving right now :)

{one}

As a former kindergarten teacher, I have just about every book ever made. I knew we needed a bookshelf to wrangle up some of the books in Sallys room. I found this one at a local consignment sale for $15!!! We had it painted and its good as new. I love this new addition to Sally's room and also love having all the books in one spot. 

{two}

I am a HUGE walking dead fan. Read all about our trip to Atlanta here. We visited all the filming locations and it was an amazing experience for any WD fan. That being said, I was VERY excited to watch the new spin off series "Fear The Walking Dead". We are two episodes in and so far I am loving it!

Halloween is next month and I am itching to decorate. I may bust some of it out before we leave for Disney! Home Goods never disappoints me. I found all this one day and was so excited!!

I was on the hunt for this towel after a friend posted it on FB. Y'all know I LOVE Hocus Pocus. After a search of almost all the Home Goods in the Memphis area, I randomly walked into a TJ Maxx and there it was in all its glory...my Hocus Pocus kitchen towel!!

I found these pajamas for Sally at Carters. 

And of course I NEEDED this sign when I saw it at Hobby Lobby!

Dollar Tree has started putting out their Halloween stuff so I snatched up these paper straws. I may have bought one pack of each design.

I also may have bought my first pumpkin of the year at Kroger this week. 

Don't worry....I didn't forget about Thanksgiving! Luckily Hobby Lobby knew just what I needed!

We leave for Disney in 13 days!!! I am so excited for this trip but feel like I still have so much to do!

We started our Disney countdown at day 30 and have been doing fun activities each day. Read more about that here. 

Our Magic Bands came in the mail....so of course I had to use decals from My Fantasy Bands to decorate them!

We also got our amazing autograph book in the mail this week. Amanda from Dixie Delights blog makes these and I haven't been able to find another that I like as much. This one has spaces for both autographs and pictures. Its actually more of a memory book. Check them out here!

Fall shopping is underway for Sally and I was so excited to score this cute dress from Smocked Auctions. 

I hope everyone has a great weekend. I turn 34 on Sunday!!

Our 9th anniversary is next week and we are heading to Atlanta for a kid free weekend. Can you believe it will be the first trip we have taken together...without Sally. 

And....because nothing says "LOVE" like flesh eating Zombies, we will be doing two Walking Dead tours. We are HUGE fans of the show and I cannot wait to see all the filming locations!!

As many of you know, I am a Disney planner for my day job (along with being a fabulous stay at home Mommy!!). I found out this week that I was one of the very few agents to get chosen to attend an on-site agent education program. That means I get to go to Disney in July. My days will be filled touring resorts, cruise ships and attending special events. Nights will be spent hanging out at the parks with other agents who love Disney just as much as me! I have hooked up with two other agents and we have decided to extend our stay for two nights so we can really have fun. We are even staying in a suite at the Polynesian. I am SOOOOO excited!!!

My hubby bought an airplane with his business partners. Although it would be nice to use it for pleasure. Its actually for a new business. They have started an on demand air taxi service. It will be operating out of a few different cities. I'm so proud of him!!

There is an amazing sale going on right now at Magazines.com. I found several magazines for just $5 for a year!! I snagged Instyle, Southern Living and Cooking Light. I am a magazine junkie so I was pretty excited. 

But wait....do you use EBATES? If you don't you need to sign up and start using it. I made over $200 just last year.

I had some family drama this week that I didn't expect. I have decided that life is just too short for people that don't make me happy :) No time for all that. I feel free!

{BONUS}

I know y'all love a deal as much as me. Did you know Wal-Mart has medium sized bows for girls for only $1? Yup, there is a whole display in the middle of the kid clothing section. They are great!!
