Mike had to work Saturday so I took the boys to go pay bills and out thrifting of course. I got to wear a maxi dress, sandals and my favorite bubble necklace I got on clearance. It was great to still be able to wear a dress with sandals. I love fall but I love wearing dresses and the warm weather. At night we had a bbq. We ate burgers and jalapeno bombers. Sunday we went to the movies to watch Taken 2. It was such a good movie. Then we went out to eat at Dixie Cafe. Such a great relaxing weekend. Best part is spending time with my family. Today is my husband's birthday. I wnat to wish him a happy birthday. After 16 years of marriage he still makes my heart melt!!

Happy Birthday baby!!!

Halloween Fun with the kids!

I love Halloween! As a kid I always loved dressing up. My mom was always so creative with my costumes. The costume I remember the most is when I was 7 and in 1st grade my mom made me a Frankenstein costume. My makeup looked so awesome. But my costume was awful at the end of the day. The clothes was too big and she had me wearing a pair of my dad's steal toe boots that where huge! I couldn't wait to get home and out that costume. Now that I have kids I love to see them dress up and get so excited about Halloween!! I love fall and Halloween and Thanksgiving! Such a nice time of the year and I am so blessed to be able to share it with my family! This year I have been so busy working full time and out of town I did not have alot of time to plan out costumes. But,  we worked with what we had and we had lots of fun and that is what is important to me!

Another good Weekend and more thrifting!!

It was a cold but good weekend! Woke up bright and early on Saturday to get showered and ready to hit all the thrift stores! I wanted to find cardigans, sweaters and some black pants to wear with my boots. I then went and had lunch at the park with my babe. We made it into a small picnic. We ate pizzas and let the kids play at the park. It was so nice to spend time together as a family. I then went to Goodwill and I bought 1 sweater, 4 cardigans, shirts and a pair of black jeans. I am so glad I get to pull out all my winter boots and finally get to wear them. The last 3 days it was been 34 degrees in the mornings and 60 in the afternoon. The weather is so nice. I especially love finding all nice winter and fall clothing at the thrift stores. You can always look good and not have to spend alot!!1

Love Thrifting!!

Love Thrifting!! I absolutely love thrifting! I love finding so many great items that are like hidden treasures! Everytime I go I find awesome items that I will never pay full price for anything anymore! I can get 10 things for the orice of 1 at a retail store at the mall. I know that the items I find are unique and most of the time I will not find 10 other people in my town wearing the same thing. Last thrifting trip I found a few great items I was in need of. Last winter I weighed 65 pounds more than this year. So all my winter items where too big on me. It feels great to get in shape and to have an awesome excuse to reward myself for all the hard work. One year down and my weighloss is going strong! I am going to contunie to enjoy this journey of eating healthy and excercising! We made it a lifestlye change, not a diet!!

Finally Friday thank god!! I am looking to foward to a relaxing weekend. I am so mad I have to work Monday Memorial Day!! Everyone is off and we are not. Oh well! Now I just need this day to go by fast so I can start my weekend!

Overall it was a pretty good weekend. Friday I finally got to go on our mini date!! Since the restaurant is so close to home we decieded to walk to the restaurant for dinner. We ate at an Italian Restaurant called La Villa. We had a great dinner. It was so nice and the food was amazing!! We ate the pasta sampler and it was delicious. Since it was so late already we deceided to just head home. Mike got off work way to late and we where both tired. As we walked hoem we held hands and talked. It was so great I love him so much! On Saturday we took the kids to go swimming at Lake Dardanelle State Park. The day was so nice like 89 degrees. They had a good time. Then we took them to get frozen yogurt at Pile High. We paid a few bills , then went to Walmart to buy stuff for dinner. We had a bbq and watched some horror movies! Sunday cleaning day.....I spent most of the day reading a new book I had gotten in the mail called Chasing Daylight!! Loved it...its a really good book about a man that is given 3 months to live after he is diagnosed with cancer in his brain! It is a very powerful book and inspires you to just stop and enjoy life now. Enjoy every second without thinking about the future or another place you rather be. It was just so good I couldnt stop reading lol!! We went to Bona Dea to walk 2 miles headed home and Mike had spent all day smoking some pulled pork!!! Yummy we had dinner and then showers and off to bed!! Today I am tired...like I usually am on Mondays!! But, today I am thankful for having another day of life to enjoy my kids and my wonderful husband!!!
