Livin' a part of life

So many little things brought a smile to my face this week.

Like

Putting my boots on to go see Eric Church and Brantley Gilbert in concert. Even though we left early cause my stomach hurt really bad it was still fun to spend time with my hubs. And because I missed actually seeing Eric I have a little video at the end of this post.

Making chap stick only because I have all the stuff to do it.

Snuggling with Gauge on the couch.

Listening to THIS song over and over and over again.

Hearing all your sweet tweets about my new company!

Going to see Hunger Games with my momma  (even though Ive never read the books)

THIS blog post the Dana over at The Wonder Forest wrote after trying some of my products. It definitely makes me happy that others will enjoy what you work so hard on. I hope all you guys get to go read it.

Learning my way around Storenvy, I think all Etsy shops should move to them. They are so friendly!

Wearing a Top Knot with a little french braid in it.

And the fact that I am baby free till tomorrow night so that my hubs and I can  go fishin'! 

(I wish someone would get why I love to fish so much!)

AND Nothing & I mean NOTHING makes me happier then this video on a Friday afternoon

Happy Weekend! 

Sunday morning love

When I find a great product I want the whole world to know about it.

 I may be the last one to know about Essie nail polish because of my lack of finger nails but 2 weeks ago I decided that it was time to stop biting them. 

I read on some ones blog about a new color that she bought from Essie and how she loved it. Well I was looking at Target for some nail polish when I saw Essie and decided that I would give it a try.

After picking out a color called "Turquoise and Caicos" I went to town painted my awfully stubby finger nails. Over a week later I have yet to bite them and the paint has yet to chip. 

Can you say auh-may-zing?!?!

Just wanted you guys to know how great this stuff is!

Good tunes Good times

Remember when I told you guys that I loved Foster The People? Well I was just going though my phone and came across the pictures from the concert that I went to with 2 of my girlfriends and wanted to share them with you guys. It was one of the best nights ever!

They are pretty wonky looking because my phone is a piece of poo. But maybe you can tell from they way they look, or maybe its the fact that this was the first time that I was able to leave the baby since having him for a night and have some big girl drinks. {i'm thinking the second one.}

This was the.best.concert.ever.period.  If you like them and are thinking about seeing them
you won't regret it!

For your listing pleasure.

I hate to say it but some times I can get in a real crappy mood and it's usually out of nowhere. Their are a few things that always can turn things around for me. One is something sweet... like a McFlurry from McDonald's. But if I don't want to leave the house or get as big as the house I turn music. I thought I would share a few songs that I have either loved for a very long time or maybe just started enjoying recently via YouTube with you guys.

First I'll start with Jack Johnson he always has a happy tune and the soundtrack to the movie
 Curious George is the best! Actually the movie is really great to.

I looooove Bob Marley! His songs will never get old to me and this is one of my favorite. How can you not get in a good mood when your Jammin' to him?!

And to completely change the mood of things but still makes me super happy....

{maybe it just makes me want to party... nonetheless....party=happy}

Did I forget to mention that my taste in music is so sporadic?? One minute it's country the next is something totally off the wall. Anyway I saved the best for last. I have been obsessed with Foster The People since I went to their concerts with 2 really great friends of mine and had the.best.time! These guys right now are all the plays on my Ipod or Pandora.

So here is one of their songs that make me jam out every time.

I'd love to know if you love or hate any of these songs  I guess it's back to Monday tomorrow so I hope you enjoyed your weekend and you Super Bowl Party if your into that kinda thing!

Love ya!

Katie

Teal

 I have been surely but slowly decorating my house for 4 years and I feel like just recently I know where I want it to go. I have recently become obsessed with the color teal. I would like to incorporate it into my house. The problem is and always has been, is finding the money to do it. My house is fairly small so it wouldn't take much but I'm still finding it hard to get done. 

My walls are yellow and that isn't going to work with the look I want to achieve so that will be the first to go. I would love your help with picking wall color because every time {no joke} I paint a room I hate the color. I would love light colored slip covers for my very brown couches and some beautiful pops of teal and maybe some coral thrown in there to. I love a light and happy feel when you walk in to a house and I do live in Florida so I want it to feel that way.

Here are some pictures from Pinterest of what I am liking.... how I will put it together is beyond me!

I am in love with this colored door. I would never think to pain doors anything other then white.

This is seriously like my dining room, at least the set up and size. I can honestly say I have never put curtains up but I really like the look of this. I don't like the lack of color but if I added a brighter curtain and put some pretty wall art up it would be awesome! Oh, and my husband would die if I told him I wanted antlers on the dinner table just for looks. {All his dead animals go in the hallway that goes up the stairs... not in my living room!} But I love how those look just sitting there.

source

This next one looks like a disaster to put my crazy ass baby in right now... but when he is bigger and not into everything so bad I would copy this whole look if I could.

source

This one may be a little to islandy but the colors are auh may zing. Things I do not like in this picture is all the wicker and the trees.

source

I really like the chicness of this hutch.

source

So you get it right? Now I just need the money to buy all new stuff and redecorate everything!!!

Leg warmers!

Seriously guys, I think I have a problem. The problem is that I love legwarmers but think I look totally stupid wearing them. I just want to share some of my favorite pics that either have them or that you can use them for.

A country Thanksgiving and my week in photos

Sunday


I went to visit with my niece that I don't get to see very often at my sisters house and had a yummy breakfast
Then Bradley needed a sticker for his 4wheeler so I took him to 
Gander Mountain
I put these fun hats on the baby while Brad played with the toy guns

and then caught up on some T.V. that night.

Monday

I woke up thinking that "today is the day I will get skinny!" Go here to 

read more about it

yes... I realize it is upside down... I'm lazy and don't really want to fix it.


then had a P.B & J {seems healthy...I dunno}

And made yummy stew in my camo crock pot and then crock part cracked...ugh.

Tuesday


I went to the park with Mary and Gabby

and she helped me shoot my W.I.W.W outfit pics

Then went to the store to get apple pie stuff for Thanksgiving only to eat it that night. {so much for getting skinny right?}

OH and I washed my hair!! Go me!

Wednesday 


It was play time all day

I even took the chair off the base so Gauge could roll around in it

Thursday


I know I mentioned it before but we went to Live Oak to spend Thanksgiving with my husbands family. We had a 2 hour drive to get there but it was totally worth it to spend a few hours with his wonderful relatives. Here is a mix of cell phone and my regular camera pictures. Be warned it's a picture overload!!!

a airboat was in front of us for a while and my son Bradley is 

obsessed with them

MMMMM Deep fried goodness!

We have so much to be thankful for this year.

we put gas in my car 3 times... I think my gas gauge is busted.

Friday

My sister Amy and I went Christmas tree shopping!! I decided I needed a tiny one to put on my end table so Gauge wouldn't tear it apart.

Of course Amy needed a BIG tree and I decided instead of strapping it to the roof we should shove it into my car. haha. Well my car still smells good.

Saturday

I woke up thinking about a new Yankee candle would be pretty sweet so I convinced my man that we all should go to Cracker Barrel for breakfast that way I could buy one.

Then it was time to get that tree into the house and onto my end table

I really like to put the retro bulbs on my tree.

YOU can buy that sign behind my tree HERE and use coupon code 

"SUPERSALE" to get 25% off till Monday night

whoops blurry

See that boy all ready trying to grab it!

And that is that. Another fabulous week! And don't forget to come back Monday morning. I will be doing another Giveaway!!!
