Rad dads!

Who would you like to talk to soon? Dadas are truly a silent lot. You see them often, but you rarely hear them. I’ve seen them at soccer matches, football matches, athletic meets, sports day events, award ceremonies, and even at random special mentoring sessions. My Dad was no different. He used to stand on his bike parked outside the gym silently watching us perform. He did not want to disturb…

4 Words To Your 17.9999

Winter nights are incomplete without #CoffeeTalks

Friend: Imagine you are one day away from being 18.

Me: Why would I want to go back 10 years in time?

Friend: Be a sport! And imagine! Just do it!

Me: Okay. I am 17.999999. Now what?

Friend: Such a spoiled sport! Anyways, you are about to turn 18! Which four words would you say to yourself before you blow the candles!?

You have to brutally honest about it!

*Takes a sip of coffee and looks away*

Friend: Shit just got real..eh?!

Me: Hmm...what I would say?

Friend: Yeah..4 words. 18 years. Limited time.

Me: Listen to your heart.

Friend: Regrets?

Me: Lets just finish the coffee, shall we!?

Friday and Fall are my favorite “F” words!  Cheers to the end of the workweek, and beginning of the weekend!  And all God’s people said, “Amen”!!

If you missed this weeks posts you can find them here and here!

I spent yesterday morning at Loyd’s Pumpkin Patch in Ashland, MO with my daughter and her preschool class.  It wasn’t snowing, but it might as well have been for as cold as we all were!  This good ‘ol Missouri weather 😉 !  Undoubtably, we still had a fabulous time picking a pumpkin, riding the hayride, petting the farm animals, milking a cow, and playing in the corn pit! She and I enjoyed a girls lunch at Panera after with some warm soup and mac n’ cheese! She made the comment afterwards, “Momma, we need to do this everyday!”

I (finally) got my hair cut and colored last weekend and let me tell you, it feels glorious!  There is just something about a fresh new “do” that make me feel rejuvenated and overall better about myself and life in general.  I’ve said before that a little damage from the bleach does my hair some good since I have naturally oily hair.  The bleach gives me some additional volume and helps hold it’s style.

Before and After

This is Us has been the one and only show I religiously watch on a weekly basis.  My family knows that if Tuesday nights are momma’s nights to have 1 hour of uninterrupted (haha yea right) tv time!  I do love it and I’m obviously going to keep watching but I am still frustrated with the fact that we (the viewers) STILL do not know how Jack died!

During my drive to and from my hometown, I like to listen to a podcast or Audiobook.  I just started reading (aka listening to…. who has time to sit down and read anymore?)  this book and I recently purchased this audiobook on Audible once I’m done with my current one- I’ve heard lots of great reviews!!

Yaaay for 1k followers!!  On Wednesday, I reached the 1000 followers milestone on Instagram and decided to do a giveaway.  I teamed up with Grand Marceline Coffee to give 1 lucky follower a FREE 8 oz signature blend coffee!  The drawing will be Sunday evening!

We are having our annual Fall family pictures on Saturday.  I pray the kids will be in a good mood and they turn out as good as last years!  Also praying our outfits arrive in the mail today or I’m going to have to make an emergency trip to the Mall which I may have to do anyways because I picked out flannel button down shirts, sweaters, and scarves and yet the weather is supposed to be 86 degrees….. after it was just 40 degrees on Thursday!

I ordered this striped peplum top and and this ruffle cutout tee from Nordstrom…. I mean, who can resist a sale?

That is all!  Have a great day and weekend!

Happy Friday Folks!  Is it just me, or did this week seem to fly by?  We’ve had one of those busy weeks where we have something scheduled every day/night.

If you missed this weeks blog post you can read it here.  I typically do two posts a week, but the one that was scheduled for Thursday didn’t get posted due to a glitch on my site so I’m saving it for next week 🙂

My son had his ear tubes placed on Wednesday morning.  It was an early start to the day, but he did well and has been doing find since.

I am so proud of my daughter, who is now enrolled in a beginner’s gymnastics class rather than the preschool class she originally started in.  She is so good at gymnastics that the teacher decided it was time for her to move up with the 5 and 6 year olds (she is only 3) 🙂 #proudmomma

Thank Heavens This is Us is back on tv on Tuesday nights.  I rarely sit down to watch any tv at all, but I make it a point to record this series because it is so good and it’s nice to have an hour to myself after the kids go to bed!  I’m still dying to know how Jack dies… the suspense is killing me.

Last Saturday we attended the MU South Farm showcase field day with our good friends (practically family).  It was a perfect, Fall day and there was so many great activities for kids of all ages.  We were there for 4 hours and still didn’t get to see all there was to see or do.  Defiantly marking it on the calendar for next year.

Saturday, the kids and I are heading back to my hometown of Marceline.  I am in dire need of some hair maintenance so I’m really looking forward to a fresh cut and color!  My best friends daughter is also having a pool party for her 5th Birthday at the new swimming pool, which I have yet to see!

I’ve got my eye on these new tennis shoes.

Yesterday, I purchased this clip on ring light for my smart phone. I’ve heard a lot of good reviews on this type of artificial lighting.  Many beauty and makeup bloggers use them for their tutorials and such so I figured it would be worth a try.  Got to love Amazon!

Also, I found a great deal on my favorite Dr. Jart sheet mask.

I am getting very serious about trying eyelash extensions.  They’re so gosh darn pretty and I really want to try them, especially with our family pictures coming up.  My only reserve is that they will be a pain or feel too heavy and irritate my eyes.  I would love to hear any advice, suggestions, or comments on your experience and what to expect.

Cheers to Friday!  Have a good weekend!
