{Wordless Wednesday} Sawyer’s 1st Haircut

Last Thursday I had my volunteer shift for our local consignment and Daddy ended up taking a day off work and hung out with Sawyer. He decided to take him in for his first haircut and knew I'd want lots of pictures! Just before: They wet it. Got started. He was doing great from the looks of it! And then I saw this one.   And this one. I was sad I wasn't there to make him … [Read more...]

Crocs Women’s Sandals {My Favorite Shoes!}

Crocs. They got a reputation from the start for having a certain look. Some even went as far as to call them ugly. I know my hubby was never a fan of my warm fuzzy mammoth shoes but man they were so warm and comfy that I never cared what he thought. Now Crocs has so many different styles of shoes. Shoes you'd never know were crocs. They no longer have that recognizable look for all their shoes but … [Read more...]

The Not So Dirty Thirty

Who would have thought this post would be so hard. Maybe, quite honestly, I thought it wouldn't happen. I thought it couldn't happen. But I did it. I lost that thirty pounds. I'm half way there. I still can't believe it. Wanna see what 30 pounds gone looks like? Don't mind my face. Clearly I'm busy looking elsewhere. Ugh. Now, I know I made a promise about sharing my numbers when I hit my … [Read more...]

Protect your Pet with PetArmor for Dogs #TICKFREEFALL

Let's be honest. I spent my whole life disliking dogs. I never paid any attention to them unless it was finding a way to avoid them. So when my kids begged and pleased for a dog I was adamantly against it. When the subject didn't drop and the husband chimed in too I knew it was a losing battle. They let me pick the breed and hubby was able to locate a breeder within an hour. There was no turning … [Read more...]
