Catching up on what I am thankful for...

I am thankful for the amazing life God has blessed me with, thankful for the unusually warm weather we are having this close to the end of November and thankful for the amazing meal prepared by my mom over the weekend (she is an absolutely wonderful cook and I hope I can live up to her cooking abilities some day).

That time of year is fast approaching...when we spend time with family to celebrate Thanksgiving and not too long after that Christmas. It seems like these holidays come and go so quickly each year.

Baby Shower Prep for Erin's sister...

So this weekend I was traveling for work the majority of the time. But on Sunday afternoon after church and lunch my good friend Erin came over and we made cake pops with my cake pop maker for favors for her sister's baby shower coming up this weekend and we made a banner for the decorations too. The cake pops turned out pretty cute (wish we knew how to make them look smooth and completely round like the fancy bakery ones). Here are some pics of the cake pops finished and ready for the shower...

This baby shower is going to be so cute for Baby Couper!! Sorry we didn't take a picture of the finished banner...hopefully I can get some pics from Erin after the shower to show it. It was a fun afternoon with my friend...glad I could help her make the baby shower just the way she wants it for her precious nephew!

Hope all had a great weekend!!





Lovin' the new blog design

So I loved how Stephanie's blog looked and noticed she used Shabbyblogs.com for her blog design. So I went to the website...picked out mine and did a little tweaking to a header and WAAHHLLAAHH!!

Shabby Blogs has some pretty cool layouts for headers, backgrounds, and much more. I highly recommend you check them out!!!


For today I leave you with this...I LOVE SHABBY BLOGS!!!

The holidays are coming...

The holidays are coming soon...and I have started my wish list for Christmas. One of the items on my list of things I would like for Christmas is a new 1" hair straightener. However, I would like to know what straightener you would recommend I get/request for Christmas this year. Here are a few options I have looked at (keep in mind I would like for this to be an item that will last me quite a few years and is not outrageously expensive)...

CHI Air (at target.com for $99.99)

Remington Silk & Curl (at target.com for $29.99)

I am open to other suggestions as well!! Let me know your opinion : - )

My ABSOLUTE favorite TV show had its season premiere last night...

I absolutely can not get enough of this show. I have watched every episode of every season. I am so excited for Season 7... the love interest I had been hoping to happen through the whole show is finally happening. Booth and Bones!! I am hoping that since they shortened the season this year for actress Emily Deschanel to have her baby that it will not mean that this is the last season ever of Bones. I will be very sad.

If you have never seen this show you need to go to the fox website... BONES (click on the word and go to the website)... and check out the show. You will be hooked for sure!!!

Looking forward to next Thursday evening!!!
