Every Week has a weekend....

Hey everyone! Sweet Summer time is here! Audrey and I are headed to the lake! Which means Grandma's house for her where she gets treats all day and gets to hang with her Pitbull cousins! Don't worry everyone gets a long and Audrey is really Scrappy Doo with her cousins! She loves Diesel the most!

Have a great day everyone! Remember drink lots of water and use sunscreen!

Audrey the Puggle....

Miss Audrey is Princess of the house...as she should be! 

Getting into...under...on top... OF EVERYTHING!

She got to be out of her crate while we went to work during the day... she was such a good girl for a whole week...

THEN THIS HAPPEND.......

She tore that nice, comfy bed all up! There was stuffing everywhere and she looked as if she was trying to audition as Santa Clause!

We live in the country so why not have a mason jar food feeder... Petsmart!

Say Cheese! She has been loosing some teeth!

There's your recap on Audrey's world! Of course there will be more to come about this little Puggle of mine! 

If you have a Puggle I would love to hear about your adventures!

Sometimes simple is all you need!

Hey! I always find it to be so much fun to take simple stuff and together they become such a super cute outfit! T-shirt, shorts, sandals, and a dash of accessories you have an outfit everyone is asking where did you get it?

You could totally wear this outfit tomorrow because I bet you have all the pieces to this simple...yet...CUTE outfit!

Go to your closet or your dresser and pull out your... Black t-shirt.....your khaki shorts....grab your fedora ( because I know you bought one like I said to in my  Hats Off It's Sunday post) and slip on your black sandals..... and sprinkle on some bling... you will have such a super cute outfit that I bet you are thinking "holy crap...why didn't I think of that?"

Let me take a bow and say, "Thank you." :)

Say Whaaaat?

Hello everyone! Aren't you proud of me! You have gotten to read a post everyday this week so far! I am very proud of myself! Whoot Whoot!

Tonight, My Pre-k class graduates and I have already started to tear up. I believe this has been my favorite class. Each one of the students warms my heart and melts it from time to time. This would be a class that I would say has been a great constant reminder of why I love to teach. I am packing tissues tonight!

Being a Pre-k teacher I have seen some gifts given to the graduates, my favorite is the little ones given the book, " Oh The Places You'll Go!" by Dr. Seuss and the family members write in the book each graduation kind of like their yearbook. I cry every time I read this book to my classes this time of year. It's perfect! It is a tradition I would love to do with my kids in the future!

Congratulations! 

Today Is your day.

You're off to Great places!

You're off and away!

And will you succeed?

Yes! You Will. indeed!

(98 and 1/4 percent guaranteed) 

KID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!

So I'll need to grab a box a tissues for tonight! 

Read "Oh The Places You'll Go!" 

or just hug your loved ones because remember you are lucky to have them!

What did everyone think about last night's episode of Pretty Little Liars? It wasn't as exciting as the first, in my opinion. 

I feel like this week is going slow.... today should be Friday.... Right?

Anyway, I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Grab the pop corn.....

Hello Hello! TV Talk Tuesday! As you know I love Netflix because it lets me binge watch TV Shows so I can catch up or just get into a new show! If you aren't signed up you should! 

Well I thought Orange Is The New Black season 3 started back June 1st.... I was wrong.... totally starts this Friday the 12th.  I will be making sure our TV snacks are available! I plan on watching the show until I fall asleep! 

 Anyway, when I was looking to watch Orange Is The New Black, I found that because I love Buffy The Vampire Slayer, they suggested I watch a show called Bitten.... Well I am so glad they did because It is AMAZING! Werewolves and Men shirtless Galore!  I have watched all of Season 1 and I can't wait for season 2 to be added to Netflix! 

Luckily, to hold me over for a little bit.... Well only tonight....Pretty Little Liars comes on! I thought last week this season started off AWESOME! That was a great episode to get us back into the show! I was on the edge of my seat and jumping here and there because it was a bit creepy!  I can't wait to find out more!! Like, who is Charles? How is Sarah connected to Charles? 

If you are going to be watching tonight ENJOY!!!

Tried it and love it!

Hey everyone! I decided I would share my new love for Make Over Monday! I know I am late to the craze but I was just waiting for everyone to prefect the process and style for me!  

I learned how to use a curling wand on my hair and I absolutely love how beautiful it mad my hair! I fixed my hair for the Bridal shower and received so many compliments! 

I did test out how long my hair would last with no Hair spray and it lasted 3 days! Awesome right? Yeah... kinda gross too! 

If you haven't tried it.... DO IT!

Hi.... Remember me?

Hey everyone! ummm...wow! I'm so very sorry. My life has been super busy and jam packed with Fun and learning life lessons that I haven't had a chance to sit and type my thoughts away. 

I am very proud of myself because I have lost 12 pounds since February! The bridesmaid dress had to be slimmed down 2 dress sizes! I now measured into 2 more bridesmaid dresses as a size 6!

Yes, you read that right.. I said 2 more bridesmaid dresses! My friend's getting married and My sister! I am going to be my sister's maid of honor! 

Audrey is on week 3 of her training classes and has won Star Student 2 weeks in a row! She has also giving me a scare and is getting better from that now! 

Well there's a little bit of an update... I hope to have time to go all into the details with you here soon!

Update and Motivate

Hey everyone! Hope you are all enjoying your weekend. I have spent most of the Saturday doing this new thing to me called cleaning....I hate to clean and yet this "weight watcher/ fitness freak" gets up Saturday mornings read to clean... It's very funny to see Kris's face when he walks in the room and I am cleaning. Like today, "Umm...you're dusting." Haha yeah I was... Crazy I know! 


Sunday, I went to the Yoga barre class,( holy soreness) went with my mom to a viewing of one of my sister's best friends in school, lunch, and then cuddled the rest of the day with Audrey!

Speaking of Audrey I feel like she grew over night! Wow! We changed her food and when I woke up this morning BAM there was a whole lotta dog haha 

She also got a gate to get to just stay in the kitchen while we are at work now, hoping that will clam her down more then keeping her in her crate all day. We shall see how that works out today!

Now if you need some motivating to get active this week here are some quotes:

You can't expect to look like a million bucks, if you eat off of the dollar menu... eat clean

It took more then a day to put it on. It will take more then a day to take it off.


Hope you all have a wonderful Monday!

Please feel free to leave me a comment! I would LOVE to hear from you.

Feel Good Fitness Friday!

Good Morning! Happy Feel good Friday! This has been such a long week...it just dragged....we are finally here at Friday though! YIPPEE!

I have to admit everything I mentioned about staying on top of Weight Watchers and Fitness and all.....Well I slacked and then didn't weigh in on Wednesday. I lived a little over the weekend and I haven't eaten the best but I worked out Tuesday, Wednesday ,and Last night! I was feeling down on myself and also bloated because well I am a girl and that happens once a month and last time I weighed in with that I had gained 2 pounds... 

After last night's workout though, I feel so better!  I also was complimented on my legs yesterday, being told they looked very toned. I also realized my arms have a bit more toning look to them now as well. If that's not motivation, I don't know what else is!

I wanted to share the awesome workout I tried last night and was so excited about! I did this after the Ripped DVD on the Zumba Exhilarate set. You will need a resistance band for it. I found it on Pinterest of course!

I did 20 reps on each leg then went on to do some more resistance exercises, then came back and did another 20 reps on each leg, did and another exercise, and ended with 20 reps on each leg.

It burned but felt so good!

Please feel free to share any workout tips, snack ideas, smoothie ideas, or just how your day went!

Hope you all have a great Friday!

Headbands....

Good Morning! It's finally Thursday! This week has been SOOOOO LONG! 

Lately, I have been getting new clothes and they make you feel pretty good.  You know though, I'm all about the accessories. I have fallen victim to yet another trend..... Head bands!  I mean I have always had a thing for them especially with the Gossip Girl days and Blair Waldorf always had one on with her outfits.

They totally dress up any outfit and can change your whole look. I love them!

I have gotten many of mine from Walmart and my best friend gave me a Pink Pewter one for Christmas.

Carrie Underwood has promoted Pink Pewter so of course it can be a Country Night accessory!

I also love how they have made hairstyle to go along with them that are messy but cute! I tried one myself thanks to one of my co workers teaching me how since my hair has gotten so long.

My pearl one here was worn at a country night! 

I hope everyone has a wonderful day! It's rainy here so Stay Dry!

Please Feel free to comment about anything...

Really PLL Really?

Good morning! I am so mad at Pretty Little Liars like I am sure most of you are as well! Charles is A..... WHO IS CHARLES? It seems like he is Jason's twin but then why was Ali's mom making Alison forget about the Yellow dress that was for another girl? What would Jason's twin have against Alison? I could understand the whole Alison twin theory but Jason's? Plus I thought A was going to be someone we have seen this whole time? which we could but he just revealed his real name last night.... but still not what I wanted or was expecting. Yay! Mona is alive! 

I am just so mad.. the big reveal was yet another confusing twist! I guess I can finally be happy to know that at least I am not A which many times I have wondered. 

 I have to say it was a really good episode just mad it didn't result the way I wanted.

Oh well now we just wait for Summer when it comes back to confuse us more.....Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Finale of Pretty Little Liars!

Hello Everyone! Tonight, I am throwing a Fiesta for the finale of Pretty Little Liars! I am going to just throw it out there and say that Toby is A! I don't know why but I am just going to say it's him! Who do you think it's going to be? I can't believe we find out tonight!

I hope that it's not Andrew because he just came into the picture. I want it to be someone who has been around for the whole show. I have heard rumors that it's one of the girls and I would go along with that.... Spencer would be my pick then since she is the leader and has been believed this whole time.

Tonight's menu includes: Soft Tacos and Cheesy Mexican Rice! I'm cooking my Tacos with Ground Turkey and Kris's is having steak with his.

I hope you enjoy your night! I'm going to go watch last week's episode over and then this week"s new episode while I enjoy dinner!  

<3 Ashley

Well I said Yes!

Good Morning! I got such a wonderful surprise, That means the world to me! My friend Stephanie asked me to be in her wedding! So I said Yes! To being a bridesmaid!

She gave us little boxes filled with some chocolate, an emergency bridal kit, some Fireball , and a personal gift to each of us ( I got lipstick and eyeshadow). Our Bridesmaid guide she gave us told me that I was to wipe her tears on that very special day but I have already started crying... so i'm not sure I'll be that much help on that department! It was such a cute and sweet way to have officially asked!

Kris was also asked to be a Groomsmen! Chad gave him a box that was asking him to " Suit up, Drink up, and Stand up beside him on his big day!" So this will be our second wedding of this year that we are going to be in together!

This is going to be such a beautiful wedding! Chad and Stephanie have been together for 10 years and I have only be in the picture for little over 2 years and I am so excited to be asked to be in this wedding!

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

The Puggle I love to Snuggle!

Here's my beauty, Audrey, and she just lights up my world!  I still think I am in shock that she is mine!

I took her to the vet yesterday and she now weighs 7.2 pounds. I was told to start playing with her feet so she wont put up a fight. They suggested rubbing apples on her paws and giving her treats while I am doing it. I'm not a feet person so that even made me cringe to hear to do that. I mean I love her paws but just hearing that being done to feet, kinda grossed me out. She still isn't barking and I have a feeling she is not going to be a guard dog what so ever since every time she sees someone come to the door she just wags her tail... Great.... She is being a bit more adventurous going up and down the steps outside, and jumping on and off the couch! I spoil her like crazy! As everyone should do to their Fur babies!

 

I love her so much I got a shirt to say it!

Let's just say..... I'm her favorite...

Our girl has some bling!

She is my Snuggle bug and keeps me smiling from her cute face!

A dog is the only thing on Earth that loves you more then he love himself!
