Blessings Unlimited (Plus A Sale!)

A few months ago, I mentioned briefly that I had become a Blessings Unlimited consultant, but I didn't really go into much detail about why I joined, or about the company itself, and since I'd had a few ask me about it, I thought I'd share a little bit with all of you!

First of all, Bles…

Five Minute Friday: Dance

Have you heard of 5 Minute Friday? It's this wonderful linkup from The Gypsy Mama- each week there is a new prompt and for 5 minutes, you just write whatever comes to mind. No over thinking, no going back and starting over, just writing. For someone like myself who over analyzes everything, thi…

Wallet Friendly Wednesday:A Plato's Closet Trip!!

Have I mentioned lately how much I love a bargain? No? Well...I LOVE a bargain. So when I discovered Wallet-Friendly Wednesday, I thought this was a great way to see how others are saving money, and to share my own money saving tips as well.

So today, I am going to share with you my recent trip to P…

Guest Room: The Reality

As bloggers, we tend to put our best self forward. We don't post the craft projects that just did not turn out...or the recipe that sounded delicious but was perhaps a bit out of our range of skill. We post only the pics where we look cute, tell only the stories that paint us in a positive ligh…

Oh, how Pinteresting- I Actually Did It!!

If you're anything like me, you probably have a ton of pins on Pinterest that you know you will never actually do! (You might even have pins about how you'll never actually accomplish all these amazing pins!) Personally though, I do try to at least attempt SOME of my Pinterest finds- partic…

On Recruiting Duty: So Far

If you're at all familiar with Marine Corps recruiting duty...you've probably heard the horror stories. We certainly had!! As a few of you may know, this is something my husband has wanted to do for some time...after 4 deployments, he was ready for a break. So, he'd actually been trying…

The last day of the 31 Day Blog Challenge! Today's Topic: Why do you blog? I have answered this question a few times on my blog, so I apologize for the repeat for those who have been following for awhile!!

I started this blog for a few reasons. First of all, when I was younger I loved to write. …

{30} In My Makeup Bag

First of all, isn't my makeup bag absolutely adorable? It's a Thirty-One bag, of course and I had it embroidered with Eccl 3:11 (Ecclesiastes 3:11): He has made everything beautiful in it's time. I absolutely love it!

Now onto the makeup! Generally, I keep my makeup pretty simple...most …

{27.28.29}

Time to play catch up again! To say this weekend was super busy would be an understatement, and the blog challenge got away from me...I'll be keeping this post short though...over the weekend, I managed to smash my finger in our trunk! While it's not as bad as it was (it's went from a c…

Day 24: Your Favorite Childhood Book

I have always been a bookworm! In the second grade, my parents bought me a set of the classics and I remember thinking that was the best gift ever (until the next year when they bought me a kit to have my OWN book published!!) So needless to say, I have several c…
