Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care: Review & Giveaway (Giveaway ends 5/24/13)

2013-05-14T15:34:00.001-04:00

I will admit that I sometimes secretly love cleaning because I love using new and different things. However, the one task that I despise the most is cleaning toilets! The rings that show up around the toilet bowl are so annoying to look at especially when you know you recently scrubbed it. Soft Scrub has come up with a new product to help with this! Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care is so

Good times!

2013-05-04T15:00:00.001-04:00

These past few weeks have been the busiest that I have had in a long time! Busy, but awesome. I'm currently wrapping up my Spring semester at college, and just finished my legal class final this morning. I feel pretty confident that I kicked it's butt! My husband helps me study when I ask him to. Such a great guy! We are also approaching the end of the school year for both of my children.

Free Month of Spotify Premium!

2013-03-28T09:09:00.001-04:00

This is awesome. I am a Spotify addict, and use it every single day. For those that don't know, Spotify is a program that you can use via computer or phone to play music lists that you create. Without the premium service you cannot use it on your phone, and have to listen to a few ads here and there. I've been using Pandora on my phone after getting out of the shower everyday while I

2013-03-23T14:59:00.001-04:00

I came across a pretty cool meme blog called Saturday 9 awhile back, and have been trying to blog more in between everyday crazy life as well as college.

Meet Lion-O. (Yes...Thundercats Ho!) He is 7 months old, and originally named Patrick. He had been in the shelter since he was a kitten, and has never been in a house before.

2013-03-14T15:51:00.004-04:00

You may find yourself saying this after reading the following. I came across an awesome meme blog called Sunday Stealing awhile back, and noticed that my very good friend Julie just did this meme. I'm sitting here trying to occupy my mind so this is perfect to pass time even though I have plenty of other things that I could be doing. I just choose not to right now. Be honest, who texted

Spring Break + Sickness

2013-03-11T14:50:00.001-04:00

Yes! I need to learn to keep calm and think positively. I make an effort every single day but it doesn't help that I suffer from anxiety issues every single day. It's just how I'm wired I guess. Update time. Here goes... I've been so busy since starting college in the Fall. I've really only been able to post updates during breaks. I've gotten nothing but A's in my classes so far. Last

Wordless Wednesday: Super Bowl

Saturday 9: Brand New Year

2013-01-05T16:30:00.000-05:00

I'm finding that I'm developing a slight addiction to memes again while on break until my new semester begins. Memes might just be my weekend thing now. 1) It's a brand new year! Do you have any resolutions for 2013? Not really. There are a few things that I have decided to avoid this year, but I have no major resolutions. I just want to be happy.2) Dusty Springfield sang of feeling "brand

Random Tuesday Thoughts on Saturday: Facebook Withdrawal

2013-01-05T15:23:00.000-05:00

I'm bored. I'm catching up on many things right now. I have some time on my hands until my new semester at college starts on the 14th. We also had the flu right after we returned home from the beach. It started on Christmas Eve, and knocked each of us down pretty much all at once. We are better now. I did the unspeakable. I deactivated my Facebook right at the turn of the New Year. I

Random Tuesday Thoughts: Life, LOVE, and The Pursuit of Happiness

2012-12-18T08:48:00.001-05:00

On our way to a Christmas party this weekend. So mushy. Yes...I tweaked "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" for my title. Total libertarian move there. I don't open myself up to others very often. Only to a handful of people. I build up walls around people. I'm still cautious even if I break those walls down a little with others. I've been hurt before, and feel exposed if I don't

Meet our elf named "Elfie" We have been doing this Elf on the Shelf thing for a few years, but it really seems to be a big popular thing this year. This is one of my favorites that we have done. I might post a few more pics soon. The kids loved waking up to see this.

Crazy Lady

2012-12-11T18:22:00.000-05:00

I seriously thought I was about to witness a total throw down today at the store. A crazy lady asked someone where the end of the line was, and people pointed. It was apparent where it ended even with 20 people in it since there was only one cashier. The lady decides to say that she would just get in line behind that person. Well the person she was going to get in front of got pissed, and said

Random Tuesday Thoughts: Achievement

2012-12-11T06:00:00.000-05:00

I have been pretty distant from the blogging world especially since my first semester of college began in August. I decided to go back to college after 10 years. Yes, my 10 year high school reunion was this year which is just a crazy thought in itself. Before I met my husband, I started college right out of high school at a community college. My plan was to get my Associates in Business

Pinypon Party!

2012-12-04T10:43:00.000-05:00

A few weeks ago the girls and I had a Pinypon party thanks to the wonderful people at MomSelect! You may have seen commercials for this toy line with the holidays quickly approaching. This was a really fun party because my youngest daughter got to play baby dolls with her friends, and my oldest daughter enjoyed the Pinypon figurines. Pinypon has a great line of figurine dolls that

Two years ago my life changed...

2012-12-02T17:07:00.001-05:00

Two years ago today I was in the hospital pretty scared about to have surgery that would change my life, but God placed me in the hands of one of his best. An intelligent, caring, Christian doctor. One who before taking me back to begin surgery grabbed my hand, looked into my scared eyes, and asked if could pray alone with me. I was confused. I didn't ask for that. It put me at ease. I later took

Wordless Wednesday: College Football + Winning

2012-11-21T08:51:00.004-05:00

My favorite weekend of the college football season is upon us. The Gamecocks will beat Clemson this weekend. I might be out of state at that time, but I'll be following the game. This is the biggest college football every year in South Carolina for those that are unfamiliar, and I am a huge USC fan!
