4th of July Weekend

We are closing in on the holiday!! 4th of July is such a great time to get together with family members. The perfect weekend to just sit in the sun getting a tan, watch some fireworks, and play in the pool with the kids.

My favorite part of the holiday is spending time with my family. We see each other, usually once a month. But when a holiday rolls around, we get to spend extra time together. As you read in my previous post, my nieces and nephew are all here for the weekend and we are in charge of them.

What is your favorite part of the 4th of July weekend? Is it the fireworks, family, food, or something else?!

Family Time

All the nieces and nephews are coming over this weekend. I am so excited, but really nervous. That means four kids, ages 7, 5, 5, and 2... It may end in chaos!!

Today Taytum came over, she is 2 and has red hair, with that said, she is quite the little spitfire! Love her so much and she just does not stop talking. My sister, Sammie, and I babysit her all the time. For some reason, T has troubles saying Sammie, so ALL day long she runs around saying Shelwy Shelwy Shelwy lol. Its adorable.

Tomorrow my other nieces and nephew are coming. You've seen pictures of them, but Kate is 7, Max and Millie are 5.

We are going to have so much fun! I have all kinds of ideas for the 4th of July weekend. I am making all kinds of treats that are red, white, and blue! I will post pictures after the weekend with what I came up with. I am so excited and just keep thinking of more and more things to make! I really enjoy baking so this is right up my alley!

More to come soon! No worries. Trust me... I cannot wait to take pictures!

Lovely Day

Had a hectic day at work. We had so much going on, trying to figure out a new program that wasn't working, our company getting noticed in a magazine, a meeting with someone in Italy, and just so much more! So, when I came home from work to see my cat sitting in the door waiting for me to come home. I had to pull my camera out of my purse and snap a pic as I walked up. As soon as he saw me he laid down. Here is the pic I got.

Getting ready for a garage sale this weekend!! I am pretty excited, I don't have much on it so I probably won't make much money, but still. I am excited. We used to have multi family sales when I was a kid, three families with multiple children. There was so much stuff that we could hardly move. Now a days, we do not have that  much stuff but it still reminds me of the good old days! Here are a couple pictures of the stuff I found in a box with my name on it! lol Not sure if I should sell it or not ;)

Original Cell Phone?!

OMG Hanson!

Ultimate Blog Challenge

I have decided to take on the Ultimate Blog Challenge. If you do not know what that is, it is where you are challenged to post something everyday for a month. Now, I am not sure if I can do it! Since I am new at this I am not very accustomed to blogging, let alone blogging every day! I am going to try it, and I hope to beat this challenge! That is my goal.

If you are interested, you should try it as well. See if you can do it!

I just hope I don't have an epic fail!


On a side note...

I AM GOING TO BRITNEY SPEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is seriously my favorite singer/pop star/crazy mess. I love her to pieces and support her all the way! I own her albums and listen to her songs every day! I SOOOOO cannot wait! This is something I need to do before I die, or before Brit Brit dies/retires. OMG, July 6 is the date, and it is FOR SURE going to be one of my blog posts for the Ultimate Challenge. It may even be a few days worth ;)

Sing Your Heart Out

Today I was on my way to Starbucks for my morning coffee when Adele's song Rolling in the Deep came on. So, naturally I turned it up. In my car it was on 20 out of like 30 at 7am! Anyways, I pulled into the parking lot and a mother/daughter duo were getting out of their car. They looked at me like I was an idiot. Then I realized it was because they could probably hear my music as well as I could in the car. So I quickly turned it down to 10 lol. (PS I have this slight OCD where I have to have my volume on an even number or a five) They continued to walk up to the door of Starbucks still giving me the weirdest look.

Why can't we sing our hearts out?! I sing that song like I am Haley on American Idol! It is such a good song, and even though I am not the best singer, it is some kind of soothingness to sing as loud as you can in your car!

On the way home then I sang to so many songs as loud as I could that my throat started to hurt when I was almost home ;) It was great. My favorite songs to sing a long to right now...Adele Rolling in the Deep, Lady Gaga Edge of Glory, and any Britney Spears song. Today the radio played Evanescence which was pretty cool, miss them.

What is your favorite song to sing in the car?!

Kitty Cat

I was taking a few pictures of my kitty in my room and decided to take a few of my room as well. I love my room ;) Its Tiffany Box Blue and filled with pictures, books, and cats. Love it ;) Let me know what you think of it!!!

Without women all the money in the world would have no meaning

 I studied in Germany and wanted to display my German books, I have another bookshelf with some on there as well. Plus my Toys for Girls book which I bought in Germany so inside its in German, French, and English.
