Christmas Cheer!!

I have so much to tell you and sorry I have been MIA!!!  What a great holiday weekend that I had, ---we took our munchkins to see Frozen (AWESOME!!) if there's singing involved I'm all in....The hubby and I were even able to sneak off for a date night filled with sushi, shopping and another movie "The Best Man Holiday" ---excellent movie but its a definite tear jerker. Thanksgiving dinner at The Dawson residence was amazing. My sister really knows how to put on a party!  So much food and so many laughs, we love hanging with our family. My mom came into town from Seattle (we haven't seen her in over 8 weeks and we were starting to have withdrawals) and we did a lot of shopping and she made her famous Gumbo. (RIDICULOUS I tell ya!!)
Besides working on our Christmas shopping (which I am no where near being done with), and decorating the house...... I ordered our Christmas cards through Shutterfly!! I got an amazing deal because of Black Friday and I cannot wait to send these out.  Also I built a really cool advent calendar for my munchkins, thanks to the girls at Shanty 2 Chic.  I absolutely love their stuff!!!

Here is the boys Advent Calendar--how cute are those mustache bags???

Along with searching for "Chokie" their Elf on a Shelf, they love opening up their presents every morning.....

I hope you all had a fabulous holiday weekend and here's to a beautiful month of December. Is 2013 really coming to an end?!?!?

Obsessed Fridays!

So I am thinking of choosing another day to display my latest obsessions...just thinking out loud.....

This week has flown by and a lot of changes are happening in my life.  Mother's Day was awesome, received a card from my boys and then had a fabulous dinner with my in-laws.  I'm talking grilled lobster tails, salad, bread and grilled veggies....Yummy in My Tummy!  Then we capped the night off sitting on the kitchen floor eating raspberries and strawberries.

Super grainy, but it took me forever to even get this one...

Now on to my other obsessions........

1. Body Chain, Body Chain.....

This if super fabulous and perfect for a pool party and I want one! Haha!

2.  Dip-dyed Hair...should I or shouldn't I?  Either way I think it is a cool way to add a pop of color and who says it has to be permanent?  I will keep you posted should I get the nerves up to do it!

3.  Nail Art

So I have never been a fan of doing my own nails....I have always had a serious nail biting habit, don't judge me!  I am trying to get rid of it.  With that said, I have being going to the nail salon for years and I am tired of the usual flower, random leaf, etc that the nail techs convince you to put on your nails for an extra $5, plus the designs are super corny and outdated.  I recently took to Pinterest and discovered a lot of nail designs and I even tried one on myself.  I'm not only obsessed, I'm addicted!

My "IKAT" design...

4.  Peplum, peplum, where for art thou PEPLEM!!!!!

I don't have hips and this style creates hips for me. Nuff said.....

5.  I am obsessed with work lately, focusing on networking and building relationships in the 

real estate and mortgage community.  No pictures for that just words.

Everyone have a fabulous weekend, tell the ones closest to you how much they mean and get out and do something that rocks your world!  Make it a good one....Loves....
