Kissing My 20's Good Bye : I did it!

Hey!

Good Morning!

How is everyone doing today?

I am so excited to share this with you!

I saw this and always said to myself that when I turned 30 I was going to do this myself. 

Well I did!

Ladies and Gentlemen...

I did an Adult Cake Smash!

Happy 30th Birthday to myself!

Now this wasn't your typical Adult Cake Smash... I let the Fur Babies join in on the fun as well!

Plus, I didn't get as messy as I should have... I mean eww...

That's when I thought," What have I gotten myself into?"

It was such a fun experience! 

Just to be silly for a moment and enjoy life!

I'm sure people are going to look at these pictures and be like why? 

Honestly, I didn't want to tell anyone I was doing them just for that reason but afterwards well... yeah I did it. 

You have to have fun in life and this was so much fun and I mean we did get our family picture taken but the Fur babies and I had a blast eating cake!

I am so Thankful that our family friend Sarah was able to make this dream come true for me!

Doing this helped me get over the meltdown of turning 30!

It's really just a number and I should be grateful I am still alive to be silly!

Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Let me know what you think?

Would You do a cake smash?

We also took some Family pictures as well and They were so good I had to share them with you as well! 

 Of course, I had to get her to take our pictures in our Redskin Jerseys! 

Think someone found out he's not really the Favorite......


Hope you enjoyed all of the pictures!

If you would like to see more of Sarah's work she has a website : Sarah Elizabeth Photography

She definitely doesn't disappoint and honestly I don't think I have ever taken pictures and loved every single one of them but with her I have!

Thank you for checking out my post!

Hope you have an awesome day!

Kris is 30!

So to me this is taking a walk down memory lane since this happened in June but to you this party just happened!!!!

This was Kris' 30th Birthday party! He had no clue and actually moped around acting like no one wanted to celebrate his Birthday. I have given him a T-shirt so he was being a little mean that that was ALL I got him... Little did he know....

I already had decorations and food hiding in my trunk! His party was a hit. 80's music played.. He had a Guitar Hero cake made thanks to my mama's cake baking skills. I iced cupcakes and made PAC Man ghosts on them! Everything was perfect! He also got to crack open a piñata that was stuffed with candy....little bottles of alcohol.... Condoms....and pregnancy tests!!! That was hilarious to see the facial expressions of everyone! As soon as he showed up we sprayed him with Silly string and shouted,"SURPRISE!!!!"

I would totally do that party all over again! I was so happy and proud and to see him having an awesome time was the best!!!

This was his costume a few years ago so I had to let it be a part of the decor!!!

Kris loved Guitar Hero.... So why not have a cake that fit the theme 

This was such a funny idea!

I was quite proud of my Pac Man Ghosts!!!

Gotta Dress the part!

The very happy couple!

Happy Birthday Sugar!

Good morning! How is everyone? Today, I need to go by my parents and make a special visit to Sugar who is turning 16 today! Having her around for 16 years has been such a blessing! She was my classmate while I was home schooling which she was either sleeping through class or she was barking at me when is said a Blonde moment kind of answer! She mostly just sleeps now but every so often when I come by to visit she gets a little extra pep in her step and will give you that whole body tail wagging.  I love her so much and I hope to have 16 more years of visiting her!

Happy Birthday Sugar! Hope everyone has a wonderful day! Give you Fur Babies extra love today! Remember to them you are their whole world!

Tea Party for 80...

Hello! Happy Saturday to you! Hope you all have enjoyed your day! I got a 2 hour massage at Massage Envy felt amazing! I added the aroma therapy to it with the smell of Rosemary and Mint.... Fabulous! Although when I got home, Kris told me I smelled like a grandpa.... Boys.... Anyway, I wanted to tell you and show you how the tea party for Deema turned out yesterday!!!! 

My mom out did herself like always everything was just beautiful! the colors of the day were lime green and pink. I ended up matching the decor :) My mom, sister, and I wore maxi dresses and our big sun hats. Deema was so thrilled to have "her girls" together for a little lunch for her. 

Even Deema wore a fancy hat....

The menu consisted of..... Sweet Tea, ham biscuts, watermelon, and two different kinds of pasta salad. 

Sugar also attended she is Bichon that will be 16 the end of this month

I wore a maxi dress and hat from Walmart, a bubble necklace from Rue 21, and a belt from Avon

I liked wearing the hat so much I kept it on after lunch while I soaked up the sun!

 Yesterday was such a sweet treat for all of us and I am so glad I got to be a part of it. My week off with my family was wonderful! I think now I am ready to start counting down for the cruise!

Good morning! Happy Friday!

Good morning! Happy Friday! I have had such a wonderful week off of work! I miss my kids but I have been able to relax and enjoy some things I have been missing in my life! I mostly laid out by my parents pool and soaked up the sun! felt so good! I also transformed our bedroom from feeling like we are sleeping in the wilderness to now comfy-happy sleeping. As well as made a new collage frame....which I love!!!

Last night, I made Kris watch Can't Buy Me Love since it was now on Netflix and it is my mom's all time favorite movie!  The movie is from 1987 ( great year) Patrick Dempsey starred in it. If you haven't watched it you totally should! 

It was funny to see the fashion from back then that is coming back in style now a days. Like I am waiting on what they call a "Fishing shirt" which is a long sleeve button up shirt that is monogrammed on the back to wear as a bathing suit cover up and yet... Cindy Mansini had on a button up shirt herself as a cover up...

I hope you all had a wonderful week! Today, is going to be another fun day for me! We are throwing my Deema a tea party birthday party she is going to be 80 years old on Monday! we ware wearing our big hats and dresses and then having a pool day! I am hoping to take lots of pictures because I can't wait to see how beautiful my mom has everything prepared and plus I can't wait to wear my big hat and dress! :) I feel as if I will be looking like I am from the Hamptons today! Let me get my princess wave ready! 

Have an awesome day and check back tomorrow for the pictures of today!

Happy Birthday to me!

Good morning! It's been so nice waking up to birthday messages on facebook, instagram, and text messages on my phone. I took this week off to enjoy time with my parents as well as some me time! I plan on getting a 2 hour massage, a pedicure, and laying out by the pool! sometimes you just need some time to stop relax and take a moment to realize what all you have to be lucky for since the steady routine of life sometimes blocks you from remembering that.

Hope you all enjoy your day!
