Time Out

Oy Vey!

So I won't be able to post for the next week... Hopefully sooner. As I told y'all last time we are moving. It was supposed to be the end of March but now we are doing it this weekend!! Eeeekk?!? Super overwhelmed but crazy amazing excited.

The reason I can't post. Well, I guess I could like I am now but it's on my phone. Nobody got time fo dat. Anyways the cable provider here has made a mistake and cancelled it here even though it was supposed to stay on till April. The new place we can't get someone out there till next week. So bummer.

I have tons of DIY stuff for the new place coming up. So be ready. I can't wait to take a nice bubble bath in my new big tub. I think I'll Pinterest how to make some. Why not?

If y'all have any tips for moving let me know!!!

Have a great week!!!!

Life update

Hey!

I know, I know. I've been pretty non existent lately, huh?!

Well, here is my update!!!

We are moving!!! Less than a month now! Eeeeekkkk so much to do!!!

*she needs a little outside work but she's a beaut on the inside*

Oh, did I mention huge fenced in yard so I don't have to leash my dogs every time they have to potty? SCORE!!!!

Poor, Mo. I have really put a huge to- do list on him. Right now he is working on a table and benches for a kitchen/dining room. I don't know why but I've always loved them. I'm so lucky to have a skilled carpenter as a husband.

Well, Lent has started. I started a little late because I totally spaced about Ash Wednesday. I try to always give something up for lent. Last year I gave up booze...but... I was pregnant so I don't think it counted. Lol.

Lent is how I gave up soft drinks. I gave them up for lent and never looked back best decision ever. This year I'm giving up bread. Yikes!!! It is tough! I'm still eating carbs though well kinda. I had pasta and wraps and sweets. I never really realized how much bread I eat. Seriously!

It is a insignificant sacrifice compared to what the Big Man did for us.

is it just me or does this bread make your mouth water too?? 

oh its just me. 

So, whats going on in your lives?!

H54F 2/15

Hope y'all had a Good Friday! I'm running a little behind and running on that midnight oil.

3. The Lorax. Omg. This movie is so good. Go watch it. You won't be disappointed.
4. Naked juice. Yummy
5. Neosporin Lip Health. I have been fighting off this sinus junk for what seems like forever now. I'm one of those ppl that when they get sick their lips get really dry, chapped and peeling. This is the only stuff that makes them better. Check it out. Great for dry lips!!!

I don't have a food post today. Sometime soon. I'm just tooooo tired!!!

Good Night All!!!

High Five for Friday!!!!

Hope y'all had a good week! I know I did!!!

1. Y'all I have found my new drink!!! A skinny chai latte with a shot of espresso! Delicious! If you like me are a lover to the pumpkin spice latte. Try this ... it will get you through till next fall. 

2. Mo took me on a surprise date. Found a baby sitter and everything. It was amazing! Our first time out as parents. I got to where my favorite heels. My patent leather red high heels. LOVE.

3. Mo made me a little flag holder by our front door. Now all of S. Georgia know I bleed blue! Not that there were really any doubts. lol

5. I made a ton of new recipes... I think was my favorite. Philly CheeseSteak Stuffed Peppers. Post Here!

Tell me about your week!!!

Week 5: Philly CheeseSteak Stuffed Peppers

Well, I am one week behind. So, why don't we just skip last week and pretend that never happened?

Okay... Now that we are on the same page...

.: drum roll:.

Philly CheeseSteak Stuffed Peppers

Get the recipe here. Super easy. Just look at the pictures.

*I'm sorry for the bad picture... and that it is half eaten... I was Hungry :(*

They tasted great and I would say they were pretty healthy too. I'm going to add Banana Peppers to them next time.

Enjoy!

The Wounded Sea Cow

Have I told you about the wounded Sea Cow? Nope, I'm not talking about myself. I kid, I kid. Kinda... Sometimes I feel like that though.

Well, I love Manatees. Seriously, I think they are the cutest most wonderful things ever. Have you ever seen a baby one.

Cuteness overload....






Am I right or am I right? 


So, one day I was on my daily run (who we kidding it was the only day I did this). So, I'm just running jogging ... Okay I was walking for the moment minding my own business. It also happens to be trash da. So I'm about 1/2 mile away from my casa when I see her. Barbara. She needed me. She needed a home.  But I'm not a trash digger. Not that I'm against it. One mans trash is another's treasure as they say. This was this time. I just didn't want to have to carry this huge piece of wood all the way through the subdivision. I get home and tell my dear wonderful husband about Barbara. Mo, being the peach he is, decides to get Barbara before she goes to the dump.

Come to find out Barbara isn't made of wood. She is pure concrete. Yup, she ain't light. Haha I wish I was there when Mo went to pick up this light piece of wood. Oh well. Barbara is safe now. Although she is wounded one of her fins is broken. :( she apparently was some sort of fountain. So we need to plug up her holes, fix her fin, sand her then repaint her. I'm thinking she needs a pink bow so you can tell she's a girl.

I'm sure you may be wondering why is her name Barbara? Well, this is why.

 

So have you ever picked stuff out of the trash? If so, what'd you do with it?

He picked YOU!!!!!

Alright, I am completely copying this from my Joyce Meyer's devotional on YouVersion. It really struck a chord with me...maybe just maybe it will do something for you too.


You Can't Impose on God

Today, I want to remind you of something I consider to be important to your well-being: You are no surprise to God. He knew what He was getting when He chose you, just as He knew what He was getting when He chose me.

The Bible says God actually picked us out for Himself as His own! You didn't just randomly show up one day. And God hasn't decided to merely tolerate you.

You can't bother God because He picked you...you can't impose on Him! He's not rolling His eyes when you have a problem. Instead, He'll always remind you how far you have come, how well you are doing, how precious you are in His sight, and how much He loves you.

God already knew your weaknesses, every flaw you would have, every time you would fail, and He still said "I want you." Ephesians 1:5 declares He foreordained you to be adopted as His own. God is your daddy! With Him on your side, things are bound to work out all right in the end.

Prayer Starter: God, Your love amazes me. As my Father, You chose me before the world was ever created. No matter how flawed I may be, I know that You still want me. Thank You for Your goodness!

How blessed is God! And what a blessing he is! He's the Father of our Master, Jesus Christ, and takes us to the high places of blessing in him. Long before he laid down earth's foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love. Long, long ago he decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ. (What pleasure he took in planning this!) He wanted us to enter into the celebration of his lavish gift-giving by the hand of his beloved Son. (Ephesians 1:3-6 MSG)



This means so much to me. He knew I would be a handful. He knew I would screw up more times than I'd like to say. He picked me and you. We are special to him.

I am sure there are days that you feel that you don't matter or you useless. Believe me when I say I have been there! Just hold on to this truth that God... the God that made the whole universe and all the living creatures...MADE YOU because you are special to him. You really are the apple of his eyes.

Have a goodin' y'all!!! Remember how special YOU are!
(Okay...I'm aware that goodin' isn't a word. Actually typing out have a good one y'all just seemed like too much work. Even though I just did... :) That is how I would say it anyway.)

Sunday Social 1/27

     

 Good Morning!!!!

Today, I am linking up for another Sunday Social graciously hosted by Neely & Ashley!!

Away we go.


What is your ideal way to relax:
 - In my Dream World I would be having a glass glasses of wine, in a hammock at the beach, with no mosquito's, and a nice ocean breeze.
 - Reality. Pedicure and a book. If I'm lucky some wine.

Where is your favorite place to be:
 - My Kitchen (when it is clean) I like being there because I can control everything there. I've got it all taken care of.

Who do you consider your biggest role model:
 - I don't know if I just have one. I pick up lots a little things from lots of different people.

What does your life look like in 3 years?
 - Hopefully, more kiddos running around. I am pro at this blogging thing. Nice house with a NICE backyard. Following my dream of staying at home and selling stuff on Etsy. Completely organized. Healthy too.

If you could go back and change one decision what would it be?
 - Not quiting college.

What is your biggest accomplishment in life thus far?
 - My husband and son. Also, taking a huge leap of faith and moving 12 hours away from everything we knew and loved to do this all alone.

Hope y'all start your week off great!!!

H54F!!!

High Five for Friday!!!! I had a pretty uneventful week so here goes nothing.

1.  So not really a high five but our dryer is on the fritz. :( boooo but Mo found out he will be able to fix it himself. Plus, we found the parts on amazon for under $35. SCORE!!!!
2. My puppies were extra adorable this week.
3. I am trying not to get my hopes up but we found a house we would like to move into. So we are crossing our fingers and praying about it. We will see where it will land us. You can pray too!!! :)
4. I am apart of the Blogger Book Swap. My partner was miss Kaili. Please check out her blog!!
5. I just want to say that I love my wonderful husband!! He works super hard so we don't get to spend a lot of time together. When we do it is always worth it and he is the best ever!

 

Here is Harold stealing my Boppy. Isn't he cute?

Here is my wonderful husband on our special day!

Hope y'all had a fantastic week!!!

Week 4: Strawberry Trifle

I got a trifle dish for Christmas and boy do I love it!! I mean it isn't very practical and is something mostly for a party or pot luck but I think they are beautiful.

So I made my first Trifle dish. A strawberry trifle! MMMMmmmmm..... I found the recipe here. I did use vanilla pudding instead of custard.

 

Enjoy!!!
