1. What is your favorite thing to watch on a girls night?

Usually when I get together with my girlfriends it is to watch either True Blood, The Bachelor/ette or an awards show like the Oscars or Grammy's.

2. What is your favorite thing to watch on your day off?

Usually something off my DVR.That list can be seen HERE.

3. What is your favorite thing to watch when you’re sick?

Pretty much the same answer as number 2.

4. What is the last movie you saw in the theater?

Umm, I haven't been to the theater in such a long time. I honestly can't remember.

5. What are your top three favorite movies or TV shows?

Oh, I can't pick just three of each. You can see my current fave tv shows HERE and my top movies are ones that I have seen, but can watch over and over and over again and never get sick of. A few examples are The Notebook (or any Nicholas Sparks movie), Sweet Home Alabama, Stupid Crazy Love, The Proposal and Pretty Woman.

Happy Friday friends!

Linking up with Darci and friends for 5 on Friday!

I've been meaning to blog every day this week, but just can't seem to focus. It's cold again here this week and it just really sucks. All it makes me want to do when I get home from work is snuggle under a blanket (or in bed) and cuddle with my girl.

I giggle at all the peeps down in TX, because it's "cold" down there (19 degrees) and "snowing." Ha! If they only knew!!

A couple weekends ago I invested in a humidifier. The air has been so harsh up here this winter with it being so cold all the time. This sits on Hailey's nightstand, I make sure it's filled up every night before bed (usually it needs it every other night), and it runs all night in her room.

Let me tell you how awesome it has been. I originally got it because I could tell Hailey had a croup cough starting after we got a notice about it at her school. I did some research and they said to get a cool humidifier, not one of those hot vapor ones. So that's what I did. I paid $26 for this bad boy at Wallymarts, mostly just to see if it would work and it's been perfect. If I want it can be "portable," which means I can put it in the living room or where ever we are hanging out in the house. Her cough loosened up over night. She went a couple days with a regular cough/runny nose and then has been good since then. No trip to the Dr or anything. That's a win in my book.

I got my purse that I mentioned in this post.

I love everything about it and now am a huge MK fan. Why did I wait so long?

Sorry Coach.

So this happened last night.

I know EVERY Mom says this, but it's so true. I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE A CHILD OLD ENOUGH FOR THIS. Gah. She won't officially move over into that particular class room until June, but she's already spent a few days in there because she's one of the older ones in her classroom right now. Brain. Exploding.

My Husband posted this on my Facebook wall. He thought he was SO funny. And he is. Why am I the only one she does this to?

I thought it was hilarious, too, I have to admit and so true. This is Hailey to a T and reminds me of the Family Guy episoide where Stewie is badgering Lois...

Can anybody else relate? I sure can!

How has your week been? Let me know!

3 Tips for the Instagram User

Monday, February 3, 2014

When I pull up a new account that I am thinking of following, I try and give them the benefit of the doubt. I try and not judge an account by it's pictures, even though sometimes it can be hard. Here are my 3 very simple guidelines when following ~~or unfollowing~~ an Instagram account.

Visual Portfolio of Your Life.

I want to see a life. Not just things or products or food, but people, too. Actual people doing actual things. Of course I like seeing those products or food items, etc., but I also like seeing that there is an actual person (or family) behind the account that I can connect with and not just a robot. Which brings me to my second point.

Connect.

One of the things I like most about Instagram is the connection with other people. I like looking at a moment in their day, week, or life and either learning something FROM them or relating TO them somehow. I like when people comment on my pictures (obviously), but I like it even more when I comment on other people's pictures and actually get some sort of response from them. Even if it's a simple "Thanks." A small acknowledgment goes a long way and it helps me strengthen not only blogger relationships, but real life relationships as well.

Make it Inviting.

This one is a two in one. This not only relates to the pictures in the feed itself, but your account as a whole. If that makes any sense. By no means do the pictures have to be fancy (you all know mine are not), but I guess what I'm trying to say is also be vulnerable. It's not about making just the pictures somewhat appealing to look at visually, but being honest, genuine and open with your life as a whole.

Pretty simple, right? Now go Instagram!!

This is Keith Urban's newest song and video for "Cop Car"

I think there is just something so electric about him when he is playing the guitar and signing into the microphone. I love it and him!

Excited: for my new purse to arrive!! Hurry up and Merry Christmas to me!!

Reading: blog posts. I've been trying to keep my Bloglovin feed under 100. We'll see how long it lasts.

Creating: blog posts. Trying to get caught up as usual.

Loving: my hair. Got a fresh cut and color a couple weekends ago and also went back to the side part instead of the middle part.

Also, Loving: dinner dates with this little lady:

Hating: the busy-ness of the gym this time of year. I get it that everyone has to start somewhere, it's just annoying. Looking forward to February when it goes back to normal.

Also, Hating: how grown up Hailey looks after getting a hair cut. Seriously? Just stop.

Wondering: when we will get our new medical insurance cards in the mail. I need to make an appointment stat!!

Eating: lots. What am I not? Snacking on these...

Drinking: orange soda...any kind...am a little addicted lately. I haven't had any Coca Cola in about 2 weeks. Gasp.

Craving: a snickers bar. Per usual.

Hoping: to maybe see a movie this weekend with the Hubs.

Watching on TV: what am I NOT watching. See THIS post.

Listening to: just about everything under the sun, including this:

Wearing: I've been wearing a lot of tunics and fleece lined leggings. Obsessed with both this winter.

Looking forward to: Taking Hailey to Sesame Street on Saturday morning. We took her last year, and I'm wondering if she will still like it as much as she did last year.

Feeling: Pretty good. My favorite Zumba teacher has been on vacation, so the gym is just not the same without her. Boo.

Weather: Not as cold as it was at the beginning of January, but apparently the Polar Vortex is coming back. Yay! < < sarcasm

Wanting: a warm vacation. Like yesterday.

Needing: a new phone and service. Both have been pretty crappy as of late.Hopefully soon.

Thinking: about house hunting this spring.

Enjoying: My low key weekends. Haven't had any major plans and it has been so nice after the busy holiday season.

What's new with you?
