we have so much stuff in our house!
it's no wonder that we need to move because of the lack of space.
come join me friday from 8-2!
i seriously have so much stuff to get rid of!
cute home decor. furniture. clothes. jewelry. who knows what else.
bring your mom. and your sister. and a friend. and her friend.
just got signed up for this baby on saturday.
originally... i had wanted to run the half... but july has been such a crazy month and i haven't been able to train for it like i had wanted to. so hopefully i can do my first half on my birthday here soon!
so... the 10k i'll do instead.
so stinkin' excited to run this one! especially since it's in driggs!
guess i better hit up the gym tonight and get some running in before saturday!
of a quick last minute project i'm working on.
i usually do things at the last minute. that's just how i roll.
most of the time... my best work comes from doing it at the last minute.
if someone could help me with this problem i have of procrastinating and getting things done weeks before... i'd very much appreciate it.
did you know... my hubby turns 30 on saturday?!
starting this week...
sassarella boutique will have a new discount every week!
your sweet deal for the week...
tell your friends.
tell your mamacita.
tell your m.i.l.
tell your dog.
tell everyone.
there's this amazing lady i know. cindy.
she's beautiful. and talented. and just simply too cute for words.
i just love her. and really wish she lived closer.
and she has this shop. for her niece. who's quite adorable too.
so go now and shop your little heart out!
plus... how can you not purchase her adorable accessories when she names one after you?!
of course... i had to make this my second etsy purchase.
i can't believe i've never purchased anything off of etsy yet. it was quite exciting!
i've been eyeing this little number for the 4th and i just couldn't not buy it anymore.
isn't it gorgeous?! i'm so stinkin' excited to get it!
and wear it!
i. LOVE. whippy cake!
i'm always checkin' out her site daily! quite possibly one of my favorites ever!
she is the cutest spunkiest lady!
and gives great hair tutorials. and makes LOVELY hair candy!
you'll see me sportin' this around the 4th festies in the valley!
quite certain that bountiful baskets are the best!
where else can you get baskets full of bountiful goodness for $15?
i was bummed when i missed the buying time on monday.
and then... a christmas miracle... they added more on thursday.
woot!
so the hubs & i drove to rigby today to pick up our basket.
(the little lady stayed with my in.laws for the night.)
it was a lovely drive. the sun is out! and it's 80!
what a perfect day to eat our bountiful goodies!
bountiful goodness 6.19
grapes . cherries . peaches . plums . green beans . brocoli . avacados . tomotoes . lettuce . canteloupe . carrots
if i had a dentist office or was a teacher for a dance class...
i'd so advertise like this!
so clever & genius.
you'd totally get me to come in or join!
it's really late. or early.
1:43 a.m to be exact.
i was once in my soft, warm bed beside the mr. around 11:30.ish.
and then i just kept laying there. and laying. and no sleeping was going on.
i have LOTS on my brain.
and once i start thinking about one thing. i think about another.
and another.
and another.
so then i get up and usually get on the computer. (which is kind of nice because i get things done i don't normally get to do during the day because i'd rather spend the time with my little lady.)
and then it gets to be later than before. and i know i'm going to completely kick myself for not going to bed.
but i just can't sleep.
i started to think about things to come. things i should be doing. things i NEED to do tomorrow. things i could do better on.
blah. blah. blah.
i think too much.
and the quote above gives me some kind of hope for my random thoughts.
please tell me i'm not the only one who does this?
oh man i love this stuff!
(i might be saying that a lot about all of my new products!)
i wasn't blessed with amazingly beautiful perfect skin.
{sigh}.
i remember once upon a time thinking that once i got married and had kids my skin would just become flawless and radiant.
hah! what the crap was i thinking?!
somedays... i think it got worse.
i've only been using this zap.it stick for maybe 3 days tops... and it literally zapped my zit away! it dried it up and the second day of putting it on i could see it fading away.
(it was and will be the only time i wished i had a zit so i could actually try this on it).
i've heard of some paying anywhere between $50-$200+ worth of skin products and zit creams.
all i have to say is you've been wasting your money! and time!
it cost me $5.69 with the membership that i have and after 3 complete days i've already begun to see the results! i can only imagine what the rest of the face cleanser, toner & cream will do!
i love this little stick too because i can carry it around with me anywhere!
i'm going back to buy another one so i have one for home use & one for my purse!
you can even use it while you have make.up on. AND again... it's made with ALL natural ingredients.
i highly recommend the zap.it stick for anyone!
even if you do have amazing perfect skin. (which i'm completely jealous of).
i'm sure one day you'll get a stubborn zit and wish you had some of this!
said like... "im.O.jin"
but you gotta say it fast.
just got back from seeing imogen in concert! sister & i had THE best seats!
in the very front & center! right by the stage!
she. was. amazing!
dare i say it might have been the best concert i've been to yet?!
(and i've been to a lot of concerts ya'll).
pics to come soon!
oh man it was good!
i love me a sparkly clean smellin' good house.
and with our house on the market... i have realtors calling me at the last mintue to come and see my house.
i've quickly mastered speed cleaning.
i've tried just about ALL of the cleaning products that there are.
all i have to say is I'M SOLD on this stuff!
seriously!
not only does this pretty little bottle last forever... it SMELLS divine!
plus... those of you who are going "green"... it's all natural!
here are my favorite things about tub & tile:
it contains natural ingredients! no chlorine bleach and other harmful chemicals. so if tay were to accidently get into it and drink some of it... it wouldn't harm her.
it has the cleaning power of 20 lemons! and i LOVE lemons! (eating & smelling them!)
it literally MELTS the scum off! no joke!
it's biodegradable and comes in a recylced bottle.
it's concentrated so it last a long long time! (1 bottle of this stuff = 6 bottles of lime.a.way)
it's so inexpensive!
i can't believe i'm sharing these pictures for the world to see... and they really don't do it justice.
i swear to you... all i did was spray this stuff on it and let it sit for 30 seconds. grabbed my cloth and just wiped it right off! it melted that nasty stuff right off! i didn't have to scrub or anything. there are some stubborn spots that i wasn't able to get off before without scrubbing and scrubbing till my arms were jello. and even then they were somewhat visable.
i literally wiped them off with this stuff and you can't even see a dirty little spec!
if any of you are interested in tub & tile... let me know and i can get you more info on it!
you can hold me to this...
I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER TUB & TOILET CLEANER AGAIN!
i have no idea what was up with me yesterday.
i was seriously an emotional wreck.
i had the worst feeling in the pit of my stomach and it wouldn't go away. plus... i think about everything. way too much. and you add the two together and i was a mess.
i started this new blog to make sure i kept up with my journaling. and i wanted it to be a place where i could journal and remember the little things that happen daily as a mom and wife.
i debated about writing about how i felt because it was such a sucky feeling and day that i had and i didn't want to remember one bit of it. but then i remembered that i wanted to write about the crappy parts in my life too. because i want to remember after the bad... comes the good.
there are times as a mother and wife... that i just feel like i'm failing. like i'm not being the best mom and wife that i can be. and all sorts of emotions started to get to me yesterday.
i heard tay slam her door and then open it to tell her baby that she put in her bed... "when you're done being naughty... you can come out."
it made me feel like a horrible mom.
i then thought about how often i tell my husband and little girl that i love them. do i tell them enough? i sure hope they both hear and know how much i love them more than they hear me complain and get mad.
i cried. and thought. and cried some more. and then scooped up my little girl and looked her right in the eyes and told her how much that i love her.
i hope she knows. i love her so much my heart hurts sometimes. i never knew you could feel that way about anyone until i got married and had a child of my own.
i hope my hubby knows how thankful i am for him in my life. he's my rock when it's storming. and my best friend. and he works hard. and i very much appreciate it! it's not always easy to live with me. and i sure hope he knows how much i love him too.
.......
all i can say is... today has been better.
much better.
i LOVE cards!
i love getting them. sending them. saving them. buying them.
i buy them randomly even if i think they're just plain cute.
i'll even buy them in 2's because i always want one to keep and then i'll give the other one away. only if they're super cute cards will i do this though.
i was strolling through wally world yesterday with the little miss and i was stopped by a section of glittery & adorable collection of greeting cards.
made by taylor swift!
they. are.adorable!
if you know me... i am picky about cards. i HATE cheesy dumb flowery ones with dumb sayings when you open it. and cards with animals on them... GAG! (like with cats & dogs).
by the way... my mom is THE BEST card giver ever! she always finds the perfect and adorable cards!
i'm trying to avoid having to go to walmart so i don't end up buying them all.
here are some of my favorites by taylor swift:
(the tutu birthday one is possibly my favorite)
"racing day. it's racing day. racing day. it's racing daaaaay. it's not sausage casing day... today's the day i race."
thank you backyardigans for the stong stuck in my head EVERYTIME i race.
i ran in the willie free 5k on saturday.
i love this race!
i kicked my p.r. in the butt from last year. and i was happy with that!
and i came in as the 3rd woman overall.
i wished i would've kicked it in gear sooner than i did at the end. i keep running over and over what i should have and shouldn't have done. i hate that i do this.
i'm so competitive.
the hubs came and supported me and i appreciated that. (miss t was at the in.laws the previous night. otherwise she would've been there too.)
i was able to meet new friends and see old friends too!
nicole . les . sheen
(after race)
sheen . les
(pre.race)
i love the feeling i get when i race. it's so addicting. it feels good to race and even better to finish a race. to run and feel the adrenaline pumping through my veins. just an undescribable feeling.
i'm so ready to race again!
this is a recipe straight from the love of my mamacita's kitchen.
i make them often around here. i'd much rather take the time to homemake them, than to buy the yucky crap from a can. it really doesn't take that long and they're so so good!
here's what you need:
refried beans
2 cans of pinto beans
1/2 pkg. of bacon
. put the cans of beans (including the juice) in a pan on the stove. cook on a medium high temp.
. while that is cooking i cook the bacon and then you dump the grease from the bacon into your beans. (this gives it amazing flavor!) fatty, but DELICIOUS!
. while cooking your beans... mash them with a spoon.
. cook your bacon so it's crunchy. and then crunch it up into little pieces and add to your beans.
super easy, huh?!
