Afternoon at the pool and Memorial Day

With our pool now open, Taylor asks pretty  much every other day to go swimming! She loves is and so does Coco, I was brave and took the girls myself the other day and boy was it a lot!! Taylor has always been a little more stand offish, she would never jump into the pool with out Daddy or me in there...Nicole is a different story, she just jumped right in, I was defiantly on my toes!! No laying pool side for this Mommy!

Lucky us our sweet neighbor Harlow and her Dad where there, she is so sweet and the girls love playing together!

After a couple hours splashing at the pool and an almost Mom's bathing suit wardrobe malfunction we came back home for some lunch and a nap!!

The pool and froyo seem to go together like a PB&J! We headed up to Chill Hill for a frozen treat!

Taylor got the watermelon flavor with some gummy bears!

Coco got the vanilla cake batter flavor!

It was a wet Memorial Day here in GA but we still had fun playing inside!! I hung out my God Bless the USA door hanger for a patriotic look!!

I put together a quick patriotic tablescape with a Papa Johns pizza!

I somehow squeezed the inflatable jump house thru the front door for a jump party inside!!

And I carried in the corn hole game!

A screen shot from my Instastory of them jumping around!

My very own American Girls!!

Every day we are truly blessed to live in the greatest country on Earth. We enjoy so many freedoms and blessing other wish for so badly, and its all thanks to the many before us who gave all for their country XOXO

June Kitchen Table and Family Pics

Happy Monday friends, I sure wish it was another 3 day weekend like last week, but I have noticed the sunshine out longer at night which helps make the day feel not so much like you have been in the office all day :-)

With a new month comes some new décor, to me June is all about bright warm colors, so I love anything yellow, pineapples, sunflowers and or lemons as you can tell!!

Hello summer pineapple table!!

Everything on here I have had for a year now or more, but the garland and cups came from Oriental Trading Company. The green pineapple came from Kirkland's and the pineapple quote came from Etsy!

I love this pineapple picture frame, I think it also came from Kirkland's but I am not totally sure!! Its super easy to just attach a new pic anytime you want! The yellow candle holder came from the Target Dollar Spot.

One of my favorite quotes ever "be a pineapple, stand tall, wear a crown and be sweet on the inside"

My chalkboard for this month was very simple, Hello Summer!

For Mother's Day Omma asked for family pics!! I think these will turn out really cute and I will share once they come in, we did blue and coral colors!

A little behind the scenes action!

Best Poppie and Omma ever!

4 little monkey's climbing a tree!!

Some hotdogs and mac and cheese on the patio to celebrate good behavior during pics!!



Welcome Summer Party!

Welcome to June!! Its always a hot and humid one here in GA, but its a fun time of the year too!!

The end of PreK is bittersweet, we sure will miss Ms. Megan and Ms. Debbie, they were absolutely wonderful and taught Taylor so much!!

Both women will always be so special to us!! But the end of PreK also means...summertime!! The best time to be a kid!! And every year we kick off summer with our Welcome Summer Party!!!

Every year I make a little sign to welcome summer in!!

Since nothing says summer like a snowman, Olaf helped us welcome summer! Some white powder donuts made the snow balls and cheese puffs made some yummy sunshine balls, and of course our Friday night pizza!

The girls were greeted with water balloons by Daddy and a new bouncy house!! Although it is little, they loved it and it was budget friendly, sometimes that what counts!! I was able to blow this thing up with a hand pump that connects to my car!

What summer party is complete without some silly string?!

Getting Daddy with silly string!!

We also got a new caterpillar water hose to run around in!!

This was another cheap Walmart find too!

Go COCO Go!!!!

Taylor has a big cheese puff in her mouth for this pic!! But this is always one of the most fun parties we have every year, summer is a special time for little ones, I hope my girls have a great one!!

Getting creative with some sidewalk chalk!

You also most try this summer dessert from Dixie Delights, all you need is:

-2 packages of mint Klondike bars

Then layer for first package of ice cream, sprinkle brownie bites, then hot fudge, another layer of ice cream then cool whip can chocolate chips....you will love this!!!

And one more thing, if you are thinking about tweeting or saying something nasty about someone else....

Just don't!!

Be kind XOXO



Microblading and Baseball in Athens

Good afternoon friends, its been so crazy here around work today, the end of the month seems to make it even crazier!! Is your job like that? Everyone needs to close for the end of the month? But on to way more fun things!! About 2 weeks ago now my Mom and I went on our first micro blading adventure and it was awesome!! Micro blading is really popular right now and I can see why, its close to an eyebrow tattoo if I had to explain it. Its really great for those women who have very light or almost no eyebrow hair. A big relief for those who take a lot of time every morning to pencil in their brows.

For many years my Mom has dealt with very light eyebrows and used make up every morning to fill them in, I think she said it would take about 30 minutes every day. She did a lot of research and found Brows By Milly located in Johns Creek, close to our house. If you are interested their address is:

9700 Medlock Bridge Rd, Duluth, GA 30097

 

I can't say enough great things about them, very professional and sweet. The entire process took about 2 hours and my Mom, who does have a high pain tolerance, said it was not bad. They use lots of numbing crème to help. My Mom was able to talk throughout the process (but she also did child birth naturally, so she is tough!!!!).

If you follow me on Instastories I posted clips throughout the process, it went very smooth and my Mom said the recovery has been easy. So the results are in, here is the after!! Drumroll please.....

 

Beautiful right?!?!?!?

Mom is thrilled with the results and she looks so good!!! She goes back this summer for a check up. I am so happy she did it, it is a little expensive but if its something you really want, I say its totally worth it!!!

Silly girls!!

We headed to Athens the other weekend to cheer on the Diamond Dawgs at their baseball game!

Lucky us even one some pizza!!!

Check out Nicole's monogram bulldog tee, so cute, Taylor has a matching one!

It was hot and humid so water was a most, along with some popcorn and hot dogs!!

The Kee Family cheering on The Dawgs!

Granddaddy and Uncle G!!

After the game Uncle G treated Taylor to some Chick Fil A as a special PreK graduation gift, she has a blast!! Thanks G!!



May Kitchen Table, Yummy Corn Dip and What I Wore

Happy Tuesday friends, who doesn't love when the first day of the work week is not a Monday...I sure do! I hope you had a relaxing and fun Memorial Day weekend!! I am a little late on sharing this, but I wanted to share my décor on my kitchen table for May before June starts just this week!!

Since May is all things spring and Mother's, I used as many flowers and feminine touches that I could find! The pretty blue flower garland came from Ebay and all the other items I have had for a few years now!

The butterfly Lenox mugs were a wedding gift and the hello spring sign came from the Target dollar spot.

The birdhouse came from Lakeside Collection and the spring wood sign was another Target dollar bin find.

Only got a few bucks and need a yummy dip?! Then you will love this cheap and easy corn dip!

Hot Black Bean & Corn Dip

Ingredients:

-15 ox yellow corn drained

-15 oz black beans drained

-10 oz Rotel drained

-8 oz cream cheese

-1 tsp chili powder

-1/2 tsp garlic powder

-1/2 tsp cumin

-1 cup Fiesta cheese

Mix all together, put in casserole dish at 350 degrees for 30 min, serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!!

A little late on sharing this, but for teacher appreciation week I put together these Calgon bath bubble and a cute little printable, take me away!

With warm temps here I am getting to wear a lot of my summer dresses I love, this one came from Target and I paired it with a white bead necklace from Ebay.

I wore this Walmart dress to Taylor's soccer game, I think white shoes and a dress look super sporty!

This is a new dress I purchased from Walmart for Taylor's graduation, I love the baby blue flowers against the black.

This was a Pinterest inspired outfit, I already had all the items but it game me a new way to pair them, shop your closet!

Next best thing to being by an actual palm tree might be wearing palm leaves! This top came from Shein.com and the pencil skirt from Amazon, they have a huge variety of colors!

This vintage Lilly P top came from Ebay and I paired it with my bright yellow pencil skirt, when I walked in the elevator a gentleman said "you are quite bright!"

 Whale! Whale! Whale!

What do we have here, a sparkly whale shirt for the win?!

This cute top came from Shein.com.

Gearing up for the Memorial Day weekend I got my Old Navy red white and blue top with my Dixie Delights necklace and bracelet!

Coco is ready to start the Memorial Day holiday!!! Little cutie!
