My school has been on Fall break this week and I think my blogging brain has been on break as well. I have been a busy little bee catching up on the huge pile of mail that had been sitting on my counter for ages, cleaning out my closet, taking a car load of stuff to Goodwill, and catching up on laundry. Where does it all come from?! LOL!!
While I was cleaning out my closet I discovered that I have an enormous collection of purses, bags, and tote bags. I may have a little sale on the blog next week to see if I can clean some of them out! HA!
I was going through some pictures during my cleaning spree and found this little gem. It’s me and my Mom circa summer 1984. I don’t really have that many pics of me and my Mom so that makes this one pretty special. I don’t talk about it much on here, but I lost my Mom the summer after I graduated from high school. She had colon cancer. This month she would have been 56 years old. It’s crazy to think it’s been nearly 14 years since she died. I posted this pic on my personal Facebook page last week and cried every time someone posted a comment. I guess that’s why I don’t post too much about her…it still hurts every single day.
On to something else so I don’t cry while I’m typing this post…
I have been obsessed with finding the perfect yogurt lately. I go through spurts where I eat yogurt all the time or I don’t eat it at all. I have been seeing all of the new flavors being advertised so I decided to try some new yogurt…
So far my favorites are the Yoplait Carmel and any of the Dannon ones!! I have never tried the Dannon Light and Fit Greek yogurts but they are soooo creamy and only 80 calories!!! Dannon for the WIN!!
Last weekend one of my co-workers (and friends) was in the Mrs Arkansas pageant!! Anotehr co-worker (and friend) and I went to support her!! She didn’t win but I think she totally should have!! Here is a pic of me and Molly at the pageant! VIP seats baby!!
I also went to the eye doctor this week and found out the source of my headaches lately…I needed anew prescription badly!!! LOL!! I also got some really cute Juicy Couture frames and I can’t wait until they come in!!
Also because you can never have enough selfies…
…Sophie mommy selfie!!!
What have YOU been up to lately?!
I can never understand how my house generates so much stuff that needs to go to Goodwill. It’s not like we’re big shoppers, but every time I turn around, there’s more!
I seriously donate almost weekly to Goodwill or some other type of charity/donation place. How do we get so much “stuff”??? HA! I can not for the life of me get into yogurt. I try so many types, but most of the time I’m running to the sink to spit them out! Might be too much info, but the struggle is real!!! HA!
I so wish i could have greek yogurt! Being lactose intolerant takes away so much yummy snacks!
Thank you for sharing such a personal story with us! I got teary eyed just thinking about it. My kids love Greek yogurt and I use to before I went on a detox diet and now eat little dairy products. Still so yummy! Sophie reminds me of my first born, Bailey! She’s adorable and definitely made me smile. :)
My fiance lost his mom in high school as well, and I know the grief never fully goes away. He finds ways to remember her and honor her throughout his life, but sometimes it’s just hard to not be able to call her up and talk. I hope your grief gets easier to bear and the memories soon spark happiness.
It looks like has been good to you lately. Thanks for keeping us in the loop, my blogger and school brain are both on the fritz lately — that needs to change soon! LOL.
I was going through a closet last week when I was in the middle of a cleaning frenzy and found SO MANY PURSES. I have a problem…
Please have that blog sale! I love your style and I have been searching for a new bag for months now.
