Outdoor Fur baby FUN!

Hey!

Hello!

How is everyone?

Wow, the weekend was so nice!

This nice weather got me so excited to get to be able to play with Audrey outside!

Only... What do we do?

Well I got on the Chewy website and started looking and I got so excited to see such an awesome selection​.

If you are not a customer of theirs you should really look into becoming one! They have been such an awesome company to deal with!

I actually told yall a little bit about them before in this Post

I put in an order and last week, received it in 2 days ,and we have tested the new toys out!

Now Audrey's outside activities include going to the outdoor mall to walk around and play in the dog park.

Which is great and all but I was wanting something for when we get home from work and just wanting to be homebodies...... Other then fetch... she gets bored with that easily.... 

Teether Tug

Audrey destroys stuffed toys or those most durable toys.... Ropes are the only things that last for at least a month! Which I watch her like a hawk with them to make sure she isn't eating them because if she isn't tugging on them with you she is trying so hard to get the knots out!

I have seen this toy shown on Facebook and I have always said I wanted to get it for Audrey.

Thanks to Chewy, I did. We tested it out and I believe she is going to be loving it this Spring and Summer!

It was so cute watching her play with it!

The more she tugs on it and lets go it will shake all around so she grabs it again and starts tugging!

They send you a metal stake you put in the ground and then you can easily removed or install the Tether Tug toy just leaving the stake in the yard. I take the tether tug inside once we are done playing.

You can also removed the rope as well!

Bubbles

hahahaha Yes Bubbles Chewy has Peanut butter flavor bubbles for dogs!

I wasn't able to get a picture of her with those cause, well she ran from them hahahaha


My wish list item is an agility course that Chewy has. The tunnel to run in and out of. A hoop to jump through and the weaving bars.

I would like to put Audrey in an agility class but I don't know that I would do good in that class hahaha she is like the flash! 

Well, I hope this helped you all out with things to do with your Fubaby!

I will be sharing a post on things you can do you keep your Furbaby cool while having fun outside!

Soooooo... Stay Tuned!!!

Have an AWESOME day!

Do you have a name for your car?

Good Morning!

Hello!

How are you?

The weekend was so BEAUTIFUL here!

Nice days for taking little drives around town with the windows down.....

This may be silly... but it's something I have heard others do...

Name their vehicle...

Do you have a name for yours?

I don't..

My husband now he names his... 

There's been...

Violent Violet

Silver Bullet

RAM

Ol Betsy

Civic

and more but that's all I can think of at the moment.....

I actually helped name his Chevy C10 though...

Quite proud

Plus it got him to shine that smile because he liked it too!

SCORE!

Now this truck... I can't get made at him but so much for spending all his time and thoughts...with this truck...

I did kinda ask for it...

I wanted an old truck to ride in when we go to Sunday breakfast and go for rides with Audrey.

Somehow it turned into an experiment on how to get it faster...

And I don't think Audrey is going to be allowed in it.

Now back to the name.... What would you name this "beauty?"

After hearing all the talk on how fast it's going to be and how crazy it's going to sound....

A song came to mind...

Black Betty by Ram Jam

Whoa Black Betty...... Whoa Black Betty...

PERFECT NAME!

Black Betty!

Friends have even been told her name.......

I must have done really good!

Share with me the names of your cars or trucks!

Hope this helped give you all a little laugh or smile for your Monday!

Audrey Traded me in...

One of the best feelings I get to enjoy every night after dinner is a cuddle on the couch with my sweet baby girl, Audrey.

It's one of the greatest feelings in the world to just snuggle up with her.

So sweet right?

Well now some nights she is a little playful and likes to chew on her rope while sitting with me

No biggie she's with me...

Well.... Something TRAGIC has happened....

My baby girl is now... DADDY'S GIRL!!!

She has left me for him... She jumps in the Recliner with him now....

Stares at me..... but sits with him?!

What has happened to my baby girl?

I told him she needs a Brother so she will come back to me!

Just... how did this happen?

I take her out... I feed her... I give her treats...I take her for rides.... I rub her belly...

He throws a rope occasionally and chases her around the house with his little drone!

umm.... Annoying!

This has been heartbreaking to me... now he is off for the break and I am at work and I just know they are snuggling with each other...

They didn't like each other...

Don't worry.... I'm going to be baking some Homemade treats... make new kong recipes... and We are going to our outdoor mall!

Mommy and Audrey dates are to come!

Sniffle Sniffle

Hope everyone enjoys your day.

Hope this gave you a little giggle.

New year is upon us

Hi!

Hello!

How are you?!!

Can you believe we are about to start a new year?!

Where did this one go?

Do you make resolutions? I kinda do but it's more like Goals to accomplish during the year!

My Goals For 2017!!!

Here We Go:

1. Lose 20 pounds
2. Tone up
3. Cook new things
4. Try a Kick Boxing class
5. Post 20 posts in a month, every month on here.
6. Go on another cruise
7. Level up in Younique
8. Do more adventures with my Mom
9. Go to the shoot range and take a class
10. Team up with another Blogger.

Now, of course I am going to say Lose weight and be fit..... I want to continue this the whole year... I'm going to be turning 30! I want to look fantastic! 30 is just a number! I want to feel that way when the time comes!

I'd like to get to where I get 10,000 steps on my Fitbit at least once a week!!! 

Now I do want to start cooking different things... I know sounds like it kinda defeats the purpose but for most of the days and night I hope to be sticking with Weight Watchers and doing Zumba like it's going out of style!

Just saw at my favorite outdoor mall that they do a Cooking class. Which you end up cooking your dinner during this class! 

Try a kick boxing class! Looks like fun and would be nice to Punch something and not get in trouble, since punching people if frowned upon. 

Have at least 20 posts a month on here! Considering there are 28,30,or 31 days in a month... I think I could do this.... I'd love to get more followers! I see people reading my posts but feels like I am talking to myself sometimes!

Go on another cruise! Yes! I would love to see The Virgin Islands...  That's our next want to spot to travel to! 

I want to have more dates with my Mom... I would love to go do more with her. Even if it is cook her dinner or something!

Level up in Younique! I would love to start selling more and level up. I have a lot of work to do to get that done. I need to take more PICTURES! I need to do more VIDEOS.  I feel like with getting healthy again I'll have the motivation to look good and feel good all working for me. 

Team up with more Bloggers to guest blog or do a fun post featuring both of us! Yes! I would love to work with another Blogger. Fashion...Makeup...TV Show...anything! I would love to share the styles or opinions of others and have a kick butt post because of it!

Sounds like an exciting year!

If you are a blogger and are interested in teaming up..... Please please please Contact me!!! I would love it!

What are your goals for 2017? 

Share them with us!

Hope you all have a wonderful and safe NEW YEAR!

Happy 2017!!!

Can't wait to see what the new year brings and work hard to get these goals accomplished!

Aunt Status = Best Status

My Oh My! That was such an eventful weekend! Our niece planned a whole weekend for us! Audrey was even included in the plans! 

-Pie face-
-Headbandz-

-Crayon Pumpkin-

-Movies-

-Pigs in a blanket-

-Walking Audrey around the outdoor mall-

-Pumpkin Patch-

-Sleeping in the floor on the coolest bed ever!- 

She had planned that she would be dropped off and her and I would take Audrey to the mall to walk around and get her a special cookie!  Then she would spend the night with us!

The girl is a home body and doesn't spend the night many places... so hearing that she wanted to stay with us... I was for sure up for the challenge and going to make sure she had the best time ever!

Which she had spent the night with one of the grandmas the night before! 

I think bets were made on how long she was going to really stay! 

Shocking to all she stayed the entire night and she never once asked about her Grandma ( My mother in law) that she lives with! 

BAM! BEST AUNT EVER!!!

How did I do it you ask?

Well we took Audrey to the mall and walked around for about an hour, she  got a ghost cookie to enjoy. 

On our way home, we went through the drive thru of her favorite places. Got some lunch cause my girl was "starving!" 

We ate our lunch and then had to run out the store and grab some stuff for our activity had planned plus we needed dinner and breakfast stuff.

Once we got home and put all the groceries away, We were ready for our next activity which was melting crayons on a pumpkin!

Totally took longer then expected but my girl was all about it! Wondering which color would "win the race" she was saying.... Of course being able to run around the yard with Audrey was a plus too!

It got dark on us so we went in and played Headbandz... Not fully to the rules... but it was fun and she totally was guessing crazy things? Like wait a minute are you listening to the clues at all?

Like the best one she had..... Swing... I said, " You have on in your Back yard in the grass
She asked, " do I make noise?"
I said, " Yes sometimes you squeak!"

Her reply, " Poop!" 

-_-

Really?!

Kids....

After that, We made our dinner Pigs in a blanket and tater tots!

Then it was PJ time and making our sleeping spot!

My plan was to sleep in the living room on our air mattress because she wanted Audrey to sleep with us... YAY!

Well, The box for the Air Mattress was in the closet... but NO AIR MATTRESS!!!

Still don't know where that is!

So I grabbed every blanket we had on the house that wasn't on the bed in my bed room and laid them on the floor! Which she proceeded to tell me was the best bed  EVER! My back the next morning didn't agree.... ugh I'm old now!

Now that everything was ready we had one more exciting thing to do and that was to play the PIE GAME! 

Talk about nerves! Making the game click was such a scary thing! Who was going to wear the whip cream?!

Which once she took her turn and it hit her I thought she was going to be done with the game but no she wanted me to wear the whip cream haha 

We played enough for her and I both to get hit with the whip cream twice!

We wiped off our faces really good and washed off the game then we got all tucked in. 

2 movies later she was fast asleep and I drifted off to the snoring of her and Audrey!

Audrey woke her and I up at 9 the next morning and Kris fixed us breakfast before we went to the pumpkin patch with her friend and Grandma ( My mother in law) 

I'm super sleepy today and hope I will make it through work as I have yawned typing this post!

As rough as I feel today, I wouldn't change it for the world because her staying with me was so much fun and I am so proud of myself that I was able to keep her entertained and no tears occurred except from the laughter we had all day and night! 

I love that girl!

Hope yall have an AWESOME day! Hope yall enjoyed this post!

Just caused I'm married doesn't mean we stop dating....

We received a Date Jar from the guest at the wedding, But with Fall starting... I find it so easy to think of neat dates to do.


*Drive to the Mountains
* Going to the Pumpkin Patch
* Going Apple Picking
* Breweries/ Winery tours
*Go to a Washington Redskins Game
* Bon Fires
*Halloween Parties
* Ghost Tour

But the again... We have already done those every year... traditions but... need something new...

Need to spice it up a bit... so I went on a search.

Hmm... well when I went looking for date ideas I came across this one!

Good Will Date!  OMG!! Have you heard about this?  Looks like so much fun!

The rules are:

Each person picks out a Surprise outfit for the other person at Good Will
$10 budget
Gender appropriate.
When on the date you can't tell people it's a joke.
when you upload pictures you need to challenge others to have a Good Will date too!

Can You imagine?  Could be the craziest outfits! Would you do it?

 If you do I want to see!

I told my girls about it and they laughed and said they were down so we are going to do a drawing and put our names in.... draw a friend that we get to dress for the day....Meet up dressed in the clothes bought for us from Good Will and have a blast! 

Thinking of going to a winery all fancy and such! 

Although, it's not probably going to be a date with my Husband....  A date with your girls is always a must!!!

Seriously... Life is way too short and If you can't laugh at yourself.... Well then you aren't having enough fun!

I am my favorite comedian!

If you have any date ideas share them with me!

Have an awesome day!

Hey Mon...We were in Jamaica

Hey Mon! Today's post is to tell you about our stop to Jamaica! It being 27 degrees here I have no problem telling you about my 90 degree day in Jamaica. For one thing,  I was shocked that "Hey Mon" is really said there and they get offended if you don't say it! 

We did a bus tour excursion which was a perfect way to see how Jamaica really looks and it's not that pretty once you get passed the beaches/resorts. They live pretty poor and they just add to their house not just move to a bigger one. 

If you don't want to be constantly bother to buy something then Jamaica isn't the place for you to visit! They swarmed the bus and once you get off the bus, you will hear, "Hey mon respect take a look at my handmade things." 

Our tour did take us to a little shack where we got to have a big box of Jerk chicken and Fiesta bread. AMAZING! 

I would not visit Jamaica again but it was very nice to experience it!

Tomorrow's post will be on our stop to Grand Turk which was my favorite stop out of all of them!

Hope everyone has a wonderful time celebrating the New year tonight!

Be safe!

I wanna be wanna your Friday night!

Good morning! So thanks to my fellow line dancing friend.... I was dancing around the bedroom last night to the step by step video she sent me and she is going to record herself doing a couple others for me as well! I am so totally excited! So I now know 3 dances and  I can do one no problem and I am still working on the others. After I became tired the dancing didn't stop because I remembered there was a movie that I wanted to watch again because of all of this excitement in my life..... Footloose!

Then of course watching that.... I wanted to dance again! I would really love to teach Kris the dances because I know he could do these.... from what his sister told me last night... she said he used to dance all the time and was surprised he hadn't asked me to teach him. Which I remember when we watched Footloose the first time he said he liked the dancing so.... maybe I need to work my magic and plan us a date night of teaching/learning to line dance! 

Also, I added a new bangle to my Alex and Ani bangle collection.....

I guess I am hooked! Hope you all have a wonderful Friday!

If you take anything away from this recent craziness of me now talking about nothing but line dancing all the time.... know that it never hurts to try something new in your life and it may be scary but you may end up loving it and it will spark a fire in your life you had been missing.
