Mother's Day!

My Mom is amazing! I know most people say that I honestly wholeheartedly KNOW my Mom is amazing. She is so strong both mentally and physically. Any woman who can birth a child, let alone three, is strong. I am terrified if birthing a child someday. 

She is beautiful both inside and out! She is a leader, a peacemaker, and a go getter. She has a go-give spirit, and more love than she knows what to do with. I adore my mom and see more and more of her in me everyday. I love you mom! 

Bridal Party Dress fitting

Spent my Sunday in Terre Haute today. This town, although not my favorite, has do many wonderful memories. From college, to meeting my husband this town has provided me with a lot of cherished moments. 

One of those memories being meeting one of my closest friends Kaci. I'm so excited to be a part of her big day in September. She was such an instrumental role in my wedding so I can't wait to repay the favor. 

We all had such a great time trying on dresses today and luckily found the right ones for everyone. 

Hopefully we will all still be able to wear the dresses in 5 months, but then again, two of the 6 bridesmaids are pregnant and will be pretty close to their due dates come time to walk down the aisle. 

We picked our dresses and enjoyed a nice lunch at outback, followed by a DQ trip. Fun day with fun girlfriends. 

Bridal Makeup Mary Kay Style

I had the pleasure of doing a long time friends bridal makeup a few weeks ago. It was such a joy to get to help her coordinate, plan, and execute her wedding, as well as do the makeup for her, her mother, and the brial party.

It was one of the many reasons that reminds me how blessed I am that Mary Kay found me and that it's a part of my life!  

Prom weekend #1

What an exciting day! I got to enjoy a nice lunch with my girlfriends followed by my first of two Prom weekends. I got the privilege of doing my cousin Marisa's makeup for the second year in a row for her prom. I love that Mary Kay offers such great products which allows me to give girls a professional makeup look for their prom night. She looked gorgeous and I know she will have a great time and her makeup will last all night long thanks to Mary Kay's finishing spray! 

Her dress was also beautiful! 

Spring has Arrived

It's a sure sign that Spring has arrived when I can take the boys to the park for a picnic. They always love having a picnic  and now that I have a super easy system down it's so easy. 

I start with two art boxes from the dollar store. I then make two seperate lunches inside, so that when we arrive at the park this is all we need (plus drinks) and they have a place to eat their food. 

There is no need for plates, or a ton of plastic bags. It's also easy clean up because everything is either eaten or thrown out to the birds. 

Evening project

If you only have a little time (an hour) and you are feeling creative and want a great end product, this is the project for you! 

I really wanted to make a house number sign for our home and was trying to decide the best way to make a "T". After a little creative thinking, and a little sewing, I think it turned out pretty well. 

Can You Hear the Rain?

Can You Hear the Rain? 

(Act out the poem on a warm rainy day.)

"Pitter-patter, pitter-patter," can you hear the rain?
"Pitter-patter, pitter-patter," on the window pane.
"Pitter-patter, pitter-patter," let's go out to play.
I just love to jump in puddles on a rainy day.
Little raindrops, "Splashing, splashing," all across my face.
Little raindrops, "Splashing, splashing,” splashing every place.
"Pitter-patter, pitter-patter," do you hear that sound?
I just love to hear those raindrops falling to the ground.
In my red galoshes, I make lots of sploshes, jumping up and jumping down,
Turning 'round and 'round and 'round.
"Pitter-patter, pitter-patter," suddenly, I stop.
Then I fall down on the ground and make a big "kerplop!"
Little raindrops "Splashing, splashing,” splashing on my face.
Little raindrops, "Splashing, splashing,” splashing every place.
"Pitter-patter, pitter-patter," raindrops on the ground.
"Pitter-patter, pitter-patter," I just love that sound.
